Popis: | Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) causes ultrafiltration failure (UFF) and is a complicating factor in long-term peritoneal dialysis. Lymphatic reabsorption also may contribute to UFF, but little is known about lymphangiogenesis in patients with UFF and peritonitis. We studied the role of the lymphangiogenesis mediator vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) in human dialysate effluents, peritoneal tissues, and peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs). Dialysate VEGF-C concentration correlated positively with the dialysate-to-plasma ratio of creatinine (D/P Cr) and the dialysate TGF-β1 concentration. Peritoneal tissue from patients with UFF expressed higher levels of VEGF-C, lymphatic endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 (LYVE-1), and podoplanin mRNA and contained more lymphatic vessels than tissue from patients without UFF. Furthermore, mesothelial cell and macrophage expression of VEGF-C increased in the peritoneal membranes of patients with UFF and peritonitis. In cultured mesothelial cells, TGF-β1 upregulated the expression of VEGF-C mRNA and protein, and this upregulation was suppressed by a TGF-β type I receptor (TGFβR-I) inhibitor. TGF-β1–induced upregulation of VEGF-C mRNA expression in cultured HPMCs correlated with the D/P Cr of the patient from whom the HPMCs were derived (P |
