Background
One of the most common causes of discontinuation of peritoneal dialysis is impaired peritoneal function. However, its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We have previously demonstrated that MMP (matrix metalloproteinase)-10 gene expression is significantly increased by microarray analysis of peritoneal fibrosis mice, but its function has not been elucidated yet.
Methods
Chlorhexidine gluconate (CG) was intraperitoneally injected to wild-type and MMP-10 knockout mice to elucidate the role of MMP-10 on peritoneal injury. We also examined function of peritoneal macrophages and mesothelial cells obtained from wild-type and MMP-10 knockout mice, and human MMP-10-overexpressing RAW 264.7 cells and MeT-5A cells. In addition, we investigated MMP-10 expression on human peritoneal biopsy specimen, and association between serum proMMP-10 and peritoneal permeability determined by peritoneal equilibration test (PET).
Results
MMP-10 was expressed in positive cells for WT1, a mesothelial marker, and also for MAC-2, a macrophage marker, in the thickened peritoneum of both mice and humans. Serum proMMP-10 levels were well correlated with peritoneal permeability indicated by D/P Cr. Peritoneal fibrosis, inflammation, and high peritoneal permeability induced by CG were all ameliorated by MMP-10 deletion, with reduction of CD31-positive vessels and VEGF-A-positive cells. Expression of Ccl2, Tnfa, and Il6 and phosphorylation of NFκΒ subunit p65 at S536 were suppressed in both MMP-10 knockout macrophages and mesothelial cells in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Overexpression of MMP-10 in RAW 264.7 and MeT-5A cells upregulated mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines with phosphorylation of NFκΒ subunit p65.
Conclusion
Inflammatory responses induced by MMP-10 are mediated through NFκΒ pathway, and that systemic deletion of MMP-10 ameliorates peritoneal inflammation and fibrosis caused by MMP-10-induced NFκΒ activation of peritoneal macrophages and mesothelial cells.
