Glucose degradation products (GDPs) in peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDFs) are probably one of the primary causes for peritoneal injury. In the present study, we used a transcriptome analysis to determine the mechanism of peritoneal injury by GDPs. Rats were administered 20 mmol/l methylglyoxal (MGO) in PDF or 20 mmol/l formaldehyde in PDF (100 ml/kg) intraperitoneally for 21 days. The peritoneal membrane in rats that received MGO showed increased thickness and fibrosis. Mesenchymal-like cells over-proliferated on the surface of the peritoneum. A DNA microarray analysis revealed that the expression of 168 genes had increased by more than a factor of 4. The upregulated genes included those that code for extracellular matrix components (such as types III and IV collagen, among others), cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42), an enabled/vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein-like protein [Ena/VASP (Evl)], and actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunits (Arp2/3). In conclusion, a rat model of peritoneal injury by GDPs induced mesothelial cells to redifferentiate and proliferate, with upregulation of Cdc42, the Evl Ena/VASP, and Arp2/3, suggesting that GDPs induce fibrous thickening of the peritoneal membrane by redifferentiation of mesothelial cells, resulting in hyperpermeability of the peritoneum. Key words Peritoneal injury, glucose degradation products, methylglyoxal, epithelial mesenchymal transition, Cdc42 From: Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Jichi Medical University, Tochigi, Japan. Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease, but successful long-term PD is difficult because of peritonitis and peritoneal dysfunction after exposure to PD fluids (PDFs). Many PDFs contain glucose degradation products (GDPs) as a result of heat sterilization. These GDPs for example, methylglyoxal (MGO) and formaldehyde (FA) are thought to damage the peritoneum, resulting in peritoneal fibrosis and loss of ultrafiltration (1,2), but the pathogenesis remains unclear. We therefore administered PDFs with GDPs intraperitoneally to rats every day and used a transcriptome analysis to determine the mechanism of peritoneal injury by GDPs. Methods Intraperitoneal injection of PDFs in animals The experiments were performed using male Sprague Dawley Crj:(CD)SD-IGS rats, 5 weeks of age, weighing about 215 g (Charles River Japan, Kanagawa, Japan), according to the US National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. The animals were housed in an air-conditioned room kept at a constant temperature of 23 ± 2 C, with a relative humidity of 50% ± 10%, a 12-hour light/dark cycle, and free access to sufficient pellet food and water. The PDFs were prepared by adding 20 mmol/l MGO or 20 mmol/l FA to a PDF (2.5% glucose, 100 mmol/l NaCl, 35 mmol/l sodium lactate, 2 mmol/l CaCl 2, and 0.7 mmol/l MgCl 2 at ph 5.0), which was then sterilized by filtration. The rats were divided into three groups (n = 6 per group) and given the following solutions intraperitoneally for 21 days: group 1, 100 ml/kg of PDF without
2 12 Imai et al. GDPs; group2, 100 ml/kg of PDF containing MGO; group 3, 100 ml/kg of PDF containing FA. On the 22nd day of the experiment, the parietal peritoneum was sampled to perform either a histologic analysis or gene expression analysis. Analysis of gene expression by DNA microarray Gene expression in the parietal peritoneum was assessed using a DNA microarray. Total RNA was extracted from the peritoneum using the RNeasy Kit with the DNase Set (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Total RNA from the peritoneum was reverse transcribed using Superscript reverse transcriptase (Gibco, Rockville, MD, U.S.A.). The resulting complementary DNA was analyzed using microarrays representing approximately 24,000 rat genes (NimbleGen, Reykjavík, Iceland). Statistics Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical comparisons use an analysis of variance. A p value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results Cellular proliferation was prominent in the surface of the peritoneum in MGO-treated rats, with deposition of collagen fibers and neoangiogenesis [Figure 1(B,E)]. By contrast, FA-treated rats showed only mild fibrotic changes, with interstitial edema and no cellular proliferation [Figure 1(C,F)]. In control rats, the surface of the peritoneum was lined with a single layer of mesothelial cells [Figure 1(A,D)]. In MGO-treated rats, the expression of 168 genes in parietal peritoneum increased by a factor of more than 4. The upregulated genes included those coding for extracellular matrix components such as types I, III, IV, V, and VI collagen and fibronectin (Figure 2, Table I). In addition, expression of some proteins related to remodeling of the actin skeleton was upregulated. In MGO-treated rats, compared with control rats, gene expression of Cdc42, an enabled/ vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein-like protein [Ena/VASP (Evl)], and actin-related protein 2/3 complex (Arp2/3) subunit 1B were increased by factors of 2.7, 2.2, and 6.8 respectively. The expression of many interleukins and cytokines tended to increase, but the difference was not significant, except in the case of transforming growth factor β. Discussion Long-term PD is limited by peritoneal dysfunction after exposure to dialysis solutions. Peritoneal dysfunction is associated with structural changes: mesothelial loss and thickening of the submesothelial compact zone. Glucose degradation products, one of the most harmful substances in PDFs, are thought to induce peritoneal dysfunction and structural change (1,2). The GDPs MGO and FA, which can both be found in commercially available PDFs, are characterized by severe toxicity to the peritoneum (1). Therefore, they are useful for elucidating the mechanism of peritoneal injury by GDPs. The GDPs induced increases in peritoneal thickness and decreases in peritoneal function. The peritoneal thickening was characterized by cellular and fibrous proliferation, which was consistent with the results of the DNA microarray analysis. The expression of collagen fibers and cytoskeletal proteins was enhanced in MGO-treated rats, but not in FA-treated rats. Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 inhibits the degradation of extracellular matrix by matrix metalloproteinases. Gene expression of that inhibitor was found to have significantly increased, which may account for the fibrosis and proliferation in MGO-treated rats. Mesenchymal-like cells were recognized on the surface of the peritoneum in MGO-treated rats but not in FA-treated rats. These cells are derived by the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) of mesothelial cells (2). In mesothelial cells, MGO may induce EMT. Transforming growth factor β, enhanced in this study, is a master regulator of EMT (3). Protrusive structures formed by migrating and invading cells are called filopodia, lamellipodia, and invadopodia or podosomes (4). These morphology changes occur during EMT in carcinoma cells and are associated with actin cytoskeleton remodeling via Cdc42 (5), which plays an essential role in invadopodia formation. Lamellipodia contain a large actin assembly controlled mainly by Arp2/3, which is able to nucleate the polymerization of new actin filaments (6), and filopodia formation is associated with Cdc42 (5). The EMT of mesothelial cells may be accompanied by actin cytoskeleton remodeling, as occurs in carcinoma cells, because EMT gives mesothelial cells a migratory capacity (3,7). In MGO-treated rats, compared with control rats, expression of Cdc42, Evl, and Arp2/3 increased. Membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase

(MT1-MMP) is a key enzyme in tumor-cell invasion (8), which is reported to be expressed in invadopodia after EMT. The Ena/Vasp family protein Evl, which is associated with remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, is localized to the leading edges of lamellipodia (9). The foregoing results suggest that mesothelial

Conclusions Glucose degradation products induced mesothelial cells to redifferentiate and proliferate, with upregulation of Cdc42, Arp2/3, MT1-MMP, and Evl. These results suggest that GDPs in PDFs induce peritoneal fibrous thickening through redifferentiation of mesothelial cells, resulting in hyperpermeability of the peritoneum. A Western blot analysis of these proteins is necessary to reveal the mechanisms of morphology change in mesothelial cells. Acknowledgment This study was funded by Terumo, Tokyo, Japan.
