Abstract Introduction Peritoneal fibrosis is a serious complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). Combination therapies are emerging as a promising treatment for tissue damage. Here, we investigated the therapeutic potential of SIRT1-modified human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) for peritoneal fibrosis. Methods SIRT1 was overexpressed in hUCMSCs to establish SIRT1-modified hUCMSCs. Co-culture and transplantation experiments were performed in TGF-β-stimulated Met-5A cells and peritoneal damage rodent model to assess the therapeutic potential of SIRT1-modified hUCMSCs for peritoneal fibrosis through qPCR, Western blot, and peritoneal function analyses. Results SIRT1-modified hUCMSC administration had more potent anti-fibrosis ability than hUCMSCs, which significantly inhibited the expression of fibrotic genes and suppressed EMT process, increased ultrafiltration volume, and restored homeostasis of bioincompatible factors in dialysis solution. Mechanistically, SIRT1-modified hUCMSCs attenuated peritoneal fibrosis through reducing peritoneal inflammation and inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway in peritoneal omentum tissues. Conclusion SIRT1-modified hUCMSCs might work as a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of peritoneal dialysis-induced peritoneal damage and fibrosis. |
