| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Appropriate fluid balance is important for good outcomes in patients on peritoneal dialysis. The characteristic features of peritoneal injury with PD are fibrosis, inflammation and neoangiogenesis; however, these precise mechanisms remain unclear.
We investigated the 1) roles and pathophysiology of lymphangiogenesis in PD, 2) relationship between peritoneal fibrosis and angiogenesis, and 3) roles of high salt intake in PD. We conducted the studies using animal models, in vitro studies with mesothelial cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages, and human materials including peritoneal biopsy samples and PD effluent. In animal models Adeno-soluble VEGFR-3 effectively improve the drained volume by suppression of lymphangiogenesis, suggesting thatVEGFR-3 could be the new target to improve UF. Neoangiogenesis is associated with fibrosis by TGF-β1-VEGF-A pathway in mesothelial cells and fibroblasts. High salt intake induces the inflammation leading to the increase of peritoneal transport rates.
