AbstractBackground. Glucose degradation products (GDPs) are formed during heat sterilization of peritoneal dialysis fluid and, to a lesser extent, during their prolonged storage. In vitro studies have demonstrated that GDPs impair functions of peritoneal mesothelial cells, including proliferation, viability and cytokine release. In the present study, we studied the acute effect of GDPs on the expression of tight junction-associated protein, zonula occludens protein 1 (ZO-1), in human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC). The role of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induced by GDPs in the expression of ZO-1 was also examined. Methods. HPMC were cultured with GDPs, including 2-furaldehyde (FurA), methylglyoxal (M-Glx) and 3,4-dideoxyglucosone-3-ene (3,4-DGE). The expression of ZO-1 and the synthesis of VEGF were examined. To define the role of VEGF on the regulation of ZO-1 expression, HPMC were cultured with GDPs in the presence or absence of neutralizing antibody to VEGF. The signal pathways involved in VEGF synthesis induced by GDPs were also characterized. Results. ZO-1 expression in HPMC was downregulated in a time- and dose-dependent manner following culture with subtoxic concentrations of GDPs (FurA, M-Glx and 3,4-DGE). All three GDPs increased VEGF synthesis in HPMC. Exogenous VEGF downregulated the expression of ZO-1 and neutralizing anti-VEGF antibody reversed the effect of GDPs on ZO-1 expression in HPMC, suggesting the action of GDPs on ZO-1 expression was mediated by VEGF. All three GDPs activated the p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and protein kinase C (PKC) signal transduction pathways. The GDP-induced VEGF and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β synthesis in HPMC was partially reduced by either the p42/ p44 MAPK inhibitor (PD98059) or the PKC inhibitor (staurosporine). More importantly, the VEGF and TGF-β synthesis induced by GDPs in HPMC was completely blocked by synergistic action of both inhibitors. Conclusions. We have demonstrated that short-term exposure to GDPs downregulates ZO-1 expression in HPMC through the generation of VEGF. Our study provides evidence that GDPs can directly induce VEGF and TGF-β production in HPMC through the activation of p42/p44 MAPK and PKC signal transduction pathways. © The Author [2005].
