Bioincompatibility of peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDF) limits their use in renal replacement therapy. PDF exposure harms mesothelial cells but induces heat shock proteins (HSP), which are essential for repair and cytoprotection. We searched for cellular pathways that impair the heat shock response in mesothelial cells after PDF-exposure. In a dose-response experiment, increasing PDF-exposure times resulted in rapidly increasing mesothelial cell damage but decreasing HSP expression, confirming im ...[more]
