Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluid, which contains a high concentration of glucose, is involved in peritoneal damage after long-term use. The mechanisms through which glucose induces damage to the mesothelium have not been clearly elucidated. Although, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response is associated with several diseases, the involvement of ER stress in peritoneal damage has not yet been demonstrated. Primary-cultured rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMCs) and rat PD model were used to investigate the influence of glucose on the peritoneum. Cells treated with glucose were examined for cytotoxicity, induction of apoptosis, and activation of the ER stress pathway. Glucose treatment of RPMCs induced cell death at concentrations higher than 3%. Annexin V positive, that is a feature of apoptosis, occurred in dead cells. Treatment with glucose led to the activation of protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK) and eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2α (eIF-2α). Glucose also induced the expression and nuclear translocation of homologous protein C/EBP. Cell death was rescued by the integrated stress response inhibitor, ISRIB, which suppresses the integrated stress response pathway, including ER stress. Glucose in PD fluid induces PERK/eIF-2α-mediated ER stress in RPMCs, resulting in apoptosis. This cellular stress may cause peritoneal damage in patients receiving PD.
