Project description:Loss of ultrafiltration capacity in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is often associated with peritoneal vascular changes, manifest as diabetes-like vasculopathy and angiogenesis. The endothelial monolayer lining the vessel lumen controls vessel barrier function and thereby influences peritoneal substrate transport and ultrafiltration. In this study, we first characterized the response to conventional PD fluids of endothelial cells isolated from peritoneal biopsies of children undergoing PD. 9 omental biopsies from the pediatric biopsy biobank (mean age 5.7 years) were included in this study. PD patients were treated with conventional PD fluid (mean PD vintage 12.5 months). Age-matched controls (n=5) with normal renal function undergoing elective surgery were also included. In patients on PD, the biopsy sampling site was at least 5 cm away from the PD catheter entry site. Written informed consent was obtained from parents, and from patients as appropriate. The study was performed according to the Declaration of Helsinki and registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01893710). The study was part of the International Pediatric Dialysis Network (IPDN; www.pedpd.org). Patients with a BMI of >35 kg/m2 and with chronic inflammatory diseases were excluded. Specimens obtained during surgery were instantaneously frozen with liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C. Arterioles macroscopically located within fat tissue and microscopically at least 1mm distant from the peritoneal surface were micro-dissected. Elastica van Gieson stainings of the arteriolar elastic lamina were used as templates for microdissection of arterioles from cresol violet–stained neighboring sections. 100 µm thick tissue slices were cut with a cryotome and 30 deep-frozen arteriolar rings per patient were micro-dissected using a stereo microscope and a microneedle. Arteriolar rings were lysed in 100 µl lysis buffer (30 mM Tris, pH 8.5, 7M urea, 2M thiourea, 4% 3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), 1 mM EDTA, 1 tablet of Complete Protease Inhibitor (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and 1 tablet of phosphatase inhibitor (PhosSTOP, Roche) per 100 ml). The resulting lysates were stored at -80°C until further processing. Total protein concentration was determined with the 2D-Quant kit (GE). Quality control and verification of protein concentrations was performed by SDS-PAGE. We investigated the molecular mechanisms of endothelial cell pathology during in vivo and in vitro PD fluid exposure by proteomic and bioinformatic analysis of the endothelial cell response to hyperglycemic stress, integrating current understanding of PD-related cellular injury and stress responses (Bender et al., Nephrol Dial Transplant, 2011, doi:10.1093/ndt/gfq484; Kratochwill et al., BioMed research international, 2015, doi:10.1155/2015/628158; Kratochwill et al., J Proteome Res, 2009, doi:10.1021/pr800916s; Lechner et al., J Proteome Res, 2010, doi:10.1021/pr9011574).

Project description:Loss of ultrafiltration capacity in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is often associated with peritoneal vascular changes, manifest as diabetes-like vasculopathy and angiogenesis. The endothelial monolayer lining the vessel lumen controls vessel barrier function and thereby influences peritoneal substrate transport and ultrafiltration. The dipeptide alanyl-glutamine (AlaGln) has recently shown cytoprotective effects when added to PD fluid, including preservation of mesothelial cells in vitro (Kratochwill et al., Nephrol Dial Transplant, 2012, doi:10.1093/ndt/gfr459) and attenuation of the exuberant angiogenesis seen in long-term rodent models of PD (Ferrantelli et al., Kidney international, 2016, doi:10.1016/j.kint.2015.12.005). These effects have been reflected in early phase clinical trials as restoration of effluent cell stress responses and improved biomarkers of peritoneal health (Kratochwill et al., PLoS One, 2016, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0165045; Vychytil et al., Kidney international, 2018, doi:10.1016/j.kint.2018.08.031). In a randomized clinical phase II trial, 8 weeks treatment with AlaGln in PD fluid decreased peritoneal protein loss. This clinically important effect might be explained by preserved peritoneal membrane and vessel integrity, but the role of AlaGln in preservation of peritoneal endothelial cell function remains unclear. In this study, we investigated to what extent in vivo observed biological processes and pathways are replicated by in vitro exposure of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) to conventional PD fluid. HUVECs were exposed to experimental solutions for up to 24 h. All test fluids were sterile-filtered before usage. Each experiment consisted of three independent samples in biological replicates on separate culture plates. For PD fluid incubation, cells were first exposed for 1 h to pure glucose-based PD fluid (Dianeal PD4 3.86% glucose, Baxter, Castlebar, Ireland), or to the same PD fluid supplemented with AlaGln dipeptide (8 mM, Dipeptiven; Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany), or to normal medium without growth factors as control. Cells were subsequently exposed for 24 h to the above solutions diluted 1:1 with culture medium and brought to 2% FCS. Cells were then washed three times (250 mM sucrose, 10 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7) and lysed in 125 µL per well of lysis buffer (30 mM Tris, pH 8.5, 7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 4% CHAPS, 1 mM EDTA, one tablet of Complete Protease Inhibitor (Roche, Basel; Switzerland) per 100 ml, and one tablet of PhosStop Protease Inhibitor (Roche) per 100 mL). Total protein concentration was determined with the 2D-Quant kit (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden) per manufacturer’s manual. Lysates were stored at -80°C until further processing. We investigated the molecular mechanisms of endothelial cell pathology during in vivo and in vitro PD fluid exposure by proteomic and bioinformatic analysis of the endothelial cell response to hyperglycemic stress, integrating current understanding of PD-related cellular injury and stress responses (Bender et al., Nephrol Dial Transplant, 2011, doi:10.1093/ndt/gfq484; Kratochwill et al., BioMed research international, 2015, doi:10.1155/2015/628158; Kratochwill et al., J Proteome Res, 2009, doi:10.1021/pr800916s; Lechner et al., J Proteome Res, 2010, doi:10.1021/pr9011574). We then evaluated the effect of AlaGln addition to conventional PD fluid on these parameters in endothelial cells. This strategy allowed characterization of endothelial cell injury and stress responses during exposure to conventional hyperglycemic PD fluid, and their modulation by added AlaGln.

Project description:BackgroundWe have compared the effects of conventional lactate-based peritoneal dialysis fluid (CPDF) with respect to bicarbonate/lactate-based fluid on peritoneal ultrafiltration (UF) and peritoneal permeability, and on variations on gene expression in cells isolated from effluents of patients' peritoneal bags.MethodsThis was a non-randomized sequential prospective study including all incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients (n = 40) recruited in our centre. Peritoneal equilibration tests (PETs) were performed using CPDF or BPDF both containing 2.27% glucose during a 48-h interval in four different sequences. Gene expression variation of selected genes was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in mesothelial cells obtained from the total drained fluid during the PET.ResultsIn the overall study, the use of BPDF was associated with significantly lower mass transfer area coefficient for urea and creatinine, longer accelerated peritoneal examination test times for urea and creatinine, lower total pore area available for exchange over diffusion distance and lower UF. There were no differences in the gene expression of aquaporins 1-3, endothelial and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS3 and NOS2), or interleukin-6. The SNAIL and E-CADHERIN gene expression normalized ratio was evaluated in peritoneal effluents of cells obtained from CPDF and BPDF. We observed that the SNAIL/E-CADHERIN mRNA ratio decreased when the dialysis sequence started with BPDF and went on to CPDF, but not when the sequence was the opposite.ConclusionThis study shows that those patients who started PD treatment with BPDF were characterized by a better biocompatibility profile. BPDF associates with lower peritoneal permeability to small molecules and lower UF.

Project description:Peritonitis remains the major obstacle for the maintenance of long-term peritoneal dialysis and dysregulated host peritoneal immune responses may compromise local anti-infectious defense, leading to treatment failure. Whilst, tissue mononuclear phagocytes, comprising macrophages and dendritic cells, are central to a host response to pathogens and the development of adaptive immune responses, they are poorly characterized in the human peritoneum. Combining flow cytometry with global transcriptome analysis, the phenotypic features and lineage identity of the major CD14+ macrophage and CD1c+ dendritic cell subsets in dialysis effluent were defined. Their functional specialization was reflected in cytokine generation, phagocytosis, and antigen processing/presentation. By analyzing acute bacterial peritonitis, stable (infection-free) and new-starter patients receiving peritoneal dialysis, we identified a skewed distribution of macrophage to dendritic cell subsets (increasing ratio) that associated with adverse peritonitis outcomes, history of multiple peritonitis episodes, and early catheter failure, respectively. Intriguingly, we also noted significant alterations of macrophage heterogeneity, indicative of different maturation and activation states that were associated with different peritoneal dialysis outcomes. Thus, our studies delineate peritoneal dendritic cells from macrophages within dialysate, and define cellular characteristics associated with peritoneal dialysis treatment failure. These are the first steps to unravelling the detrimental adaptive immune responses occurring as a consequence of peritonitis.

Project description:BackgroundIncremental peritoneal dialysis (iPD) can be useful in patients with residual renal function (RRF). RRF was well preserved and similar survival was shown in iPD compared to conventional PD (cPD) in previous study. However, the long-term survival of iPD remains unclear compared to cPD in diabetic patients. This study evaluated whether patient survival, hospitalization and peritonitis, and PD survival in iPD were lower than cPD or not.MethodsWe conducted a 12-year retrospective observational study of 303 PD patients (232 cPD and 71 iPD) using propensity score matching by age, gender, and diabetes mellitus (DM). Finally, 78 cPD patients and 39 iPD patients were included and 44 patients had DM. Incremental PD was defined as starting PD with two or three manual exchanges per day.ResultsThe median duration of iPD was 24.1 months and iPD had higher RRF than cPD. Compared to cPD, the patient survival, PD survival and hospitalization benefits were not found in iPD but diabetic iPD patients had significantly longer survival and less hospitalization. Cumulative risk for peritonitis was lower iPD and PD duration of iPD was longer than those of cPD. The iPD was an independent factor associated with survival in patients with DM.ConclusionsIncremental PD may be a safe PD modality to initiate and maintain PD in less uremic patients with tolerable RRF. Incremental PD would be a benefit for survival in diabetic patients. Further prospective studies are necessary to confirm the effectiveness of iPD in PD patients with similar RRF.

Project description:IntroductionThe impact of peritoneal dialysis modality on patient survival and peritonitis rates is not fully understood, and no large-scale randomized clinical trial (RCT) is available. In the absence of a RCT, the use of an advanced matching procedure to reduce selection bias in large cohort studies may be the best approach. The aim of this study is to compare automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) according to peritonitis risk, technique failure and patient survival in a large nation-wide PD cohort.MethodsThis is a prospective cohort study that included all incident PD patients with at least 90 days of PD recruited in the BRAZPD study. All patients who were treated exclusively with either APD or CAPD were matched for 15 different covariates using a propensity score calculated with the nearest neighbor method. Clinical outcomes analyzed were overall mortality, technique failure and time to first peritonitis. For all analysis we also adjusted the curves for the presence of competing risks with the Fine and Gray analysis.ResultsAfter the matching procedure, 2,890 patients were included in the analysis (1,445 in each group). Baseline characteristics were similar for all covariates including: age, diabetes, BMI, Center-experience, coronary artery disease, cancer, literacy, hypertension, race, previous HD, gender, pre-dialysis care, family income, peripheral artery disease and year of starting PD. Mortality rate was higher in CAPD patients (SHR1.44 CI95%1.21-1.71) compared to APD, but no difference was observed for technique failure (SHR0.83 CI95%0.69-1.02) nor for time till the first peritonitis episode (SHR0.96 CI95%0.93-1.11).ConclusionIn the first large PD cohort study with groups balanced for several covariates using propensity score matching, PD modality was not associated with differences in neither time to first peritonitis nor in technique failure. Nevertheless, patient survival was significantly better in APD patients.

Project description:Introduction: Preservation of peritoneal function is essential in long-term peritoneal dialysis. Biocompatible dialysis solutions might prevent or postpone the membrane alteration resulting in ultrafiltration failure and consecutive morbidity and mortality.Methods: We conducted an observational cohort study in which we made a longitudinal comparison between the course of peritoneal solute and fluid transport during treatment with conventional and biocompatible solutions. Therefore, prospectively collected peritoneal transport data from the yearly standard peritoneal permeability analysis were analyzed in 251 incident patients treated between 1994 and censoring in 2016. Fluid transport included small pore and free water transport. Solute transport was assessed by creatinine mass transfer area coefficient and glucose absorption. Linear mixed models including change point analyses were performed. Interaction with peritonitis was examined.Results: One hundred thirty-five patients received conventional and 116 biocompatible solutions. Sixty-seven percent (conventional) and 64% (biocompatible) of these underwent minimally three transport measurements. Initially, biocompatible fluids showed higher small solute transport and lower ultrafiltration than conventional fluids up to 3 years. Thereafter, conventional fluids showed an increase in small solute transport (+2.7 ml/min per year; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.9 to 4.5) and a decrease of free water transport (-28.0 ml/min per year; 95% CI: -60.4 to 4.4). These were minor or absent in biocompatible treatment. Peritonitis induced a decrease of transcapillary ultrafiltration after 2 years on dialysis with conventional solutions (-291 ml/min per year; 95% CI: -550 to -32) while this was absent in biocompatible treatment.Conclusion: Despite a higher initial solute transport with biocompatible solutions, these have less influence on functional long-term peritoneal alterations than conventional solutions.

Project description:Introduction of the so-called biocompatible peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids was based on a large body of experimental evidence and various clinical trials suggesting important clinical benefits. Of these, until now, only preservation of residual renal function-likely due to lower glucose degradation product load and, in case of icodextrin, improved fluid and blood pressure control-have consistently been proven, whereas the impact on important clinical endpoints such as infectious complications, preservation of PD membrane transport function, and patient outcome, are still debated. In view of the high morbidity and mortality rates of PD patients, novel approaches are warranted and comprise the search for alternative osmotic agents and enrichment of PD fluids with specific pharmacologic agents, such as alanyl-glutamine, potentially counteracting local but also systemic sequelae of uremia and PD.

Project description:Long-term clinical outcome of peritoneal dialysis (PD) depends on adequate removal of small solutes and water. The peritoneal endothelium represents the key barrier and peritoneal transport dysfunction is associated with vascular changes. Alanyl-glutamine (AlaGln) has been shown to counteract PD-induced deteriorations but the effect on vascular changes has not yet been elucidated. Using multiplexed proteomic and bioinformatic analyses we investigated the molecular mechanisms of vascular pathology in-vitro (primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells, HUVEC) and ex-vivo (arterioles of patients undergoing PD) following exposure to PD-fluid. An overlap of 1813 proteins (40%) of over 3100 proteins was identified in both sample types. PD-fluid treatment significantly altered 378 in endothelial cells and 192 in arterioles. The HUVEC proteome resembles the arteriolar proteome with expected sample specific differences of mainly immune system processes only present in arterioles and extracellular region proteins primarily found in HUVEC. AlaGln-addition to PD-fluid revealed 359 differentially abundant proteins and restored the molecular process landscape altered by PD fluid. This study provides evidence on validity and inherent limitations of studying endothelial pathomechanisms in-vitro compared to vascular ex-vivo findings. AlaGln could reduce PD-associated vasculopathy by reducing endothelial cellular damage, restoring perturbed abundances of pathologically important proteins and enriching protective processes.
