Abstract:

Objective

To induce epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) of immortalized human peritoneal mesothelial cell line (HMrSV5) with indoxyl sulfate (IS) and investigate the role of transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) .

Methods

HMrSV5 cells were randomly divided into 3 groups: the control group: with 4.25﹪peritoneal dialysate fluid in culture medium; IS groups: with IS at final concentrations oft 250μmol/L, 500μmol/L, and 1 000μmol/L and 4.25﹪peritoneal dialysate fluid; TGF-β1 inhibitor group: with 2μmol/L LY364947, IS and 4.25﹪peritoneal dialysate fluid. At 0 h, 4 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, the morphological changes were observed by immunofluorescence method, and alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression was evaluated with Western Blot. At 48 h, supernatant was collected to determinate fibronectin and laminin5 by ELISA.

Results

After IS induction, cells change from typical cobblestone-like shape to long fusiform shape, which was prevented but TGF-β1 inhibitor. Western Blot showed that: compared with control group the expression level ofα-SMA increased significantly in the IS treatment group. The level ofα-SMA was highest at 48 h with 1 000μmol/L IS (39.929±2.610vs0.996±0.001;P< 0.05) , which was decrease to 7.418±3.075 in the presence of TGF-β1 inhibitor (P< 0.05) .Compared with control group, IS increased the secretion of FN (1.368±0.040vs1.094±0.036, P< 0.05) and laminin 5 (1.031±0.085vs0.860±0.063,P< 0.05) , which were decreased by TGF-βinhibitor (0.925±0.15 and 0.795±0.426 respectively,P< 0.05) .

Conclusion

EMT of PMC could be induced by IS via TGF-β1 signaling pathway and is potential target for the treatment of peritoneal fibrosis.
