    Abstract: Aims: Influenced by microenvironment, human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) acquired fibrotic phenotype, which was identified as the protagonist for peritoneal fibrosis. In this study, we examined the role of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) for interleukin-6 (IL-6) induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), proliferation, and migration of HPMCs. Methods: The role of HDAC6 in IL-6-elicited EMT of HPMCs was tested by morphological observation of light microscope, immunoblotting, and immune-fluorescence assay; and the function of HDAC6 in proliferation and migration of HPMCs was examined by CCK-8 assay, wound healing experiment, and immunoblotting. Results: IL-6 stimulation significantly increased the expression of HDAC6. Treatment with tubastatin A (TA), a highly selective HDAC6 inhibitor, or silencing of HDAC6 with siRNA decreased the expression of HDAC6. Moreover, TA or HDAC6 siRNA suppressed IL-6-induced EMT, as evidenced by decreased expressions of α-SMA, Fibronectin, and collagen I and the preserved expression of E-cadherin in cultured HPMCs. Mechanistically, HDAC6 inhibition suppressed the expression of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) receptor I (TGFβRI), phosphorylation of Smad3, secretion of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), and transcription factor Snail. On the other hand, the pharmacological inhibition or genetic target of HDAC6 suppressed HPMCs proliferation, as evidenced by the decreased optical density of CCK-8 and the expressions of PCNA and Cyclin E. The migratory rate of HPMCs also decreased. Mechanistically, HDAC6 inhibition blocked the activation of JAK2 and STAT3. Conclusion: Our study illustrated that IL-6-induced HDAC6 not only regulated IL-6 itself downstream JAK2/STAT3 signaling but also co-activated the TGF-β/Smad3 signaling, leading to the change of the phenotype and mobility of HPMCs. HDAC6 could be a potential therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of peritoneal fibrosis.

    Abstract: Women in different age phases have different metabolism and hormone levels that influence the production and excretion of uric acid. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and related factors of hyperuricaemia among women in various age phases. Study design Observational, cross-sectional study. Setting Data were obtained from women at three health check-up centres in Shanghai. Participants Adult women from three health check-up centres were recruited. Exclusion criteria were individuals with pregnancy, cancer, incomplete information. Finally, 11 601 participants were enrolled. Results The prevalence rates of hyperuricaemia of total subjects were 11.15% (95% CIs 10.57% to 11.72%). The prevalence of hyperuricaemia in 18–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69 and ≥70 years old was 6.41% (95% CI 4.97% to 7.86%), 5.63% (4.71% to 6.55%), 6.02% (5.01%% to 7.03%), 11.51% (10.19% to 12.82%), 16.49% (15.03% to 17.95%) and 23.98% (21.56% to 26.40%), respectively. Compared with 18–29 years old, the ORs for hyperuricaemia in other age phases were 0.870 (95% CI 0.647 to 1.170, p=0.357), 0.935 (0.693 to 1.261, p=0.659), 1.898 (1.444 to 2.493, p 〈 0.001), 2.882 (2.216 to 3.748, p 〈 0.001) and 4.602 (3.497 to 6.056, p 〈 0.001), respectively. During the 18–29 years old, the related factors for hyperuricaemia were obesity and dyslipidaemia. During the 30–59 years old, the related factors were obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Over the 60 years old, the occurrence of hyperuricaemia was mainly affected by obesity, dyslipidaemia and CKD, while hypertension cannot be an impact factor for hyperuricaemia independently of obesity and dyslipidaemia. Conclusion After 50 years old, the prevalence of hyperuricaemia in Shanghai women has increased significantly and reaches the peak after 70. Obesity and dyslipidaemia are two main related factors for hyperuricaemia during all ages, while diabetes mellitus and nephrolithiasis have no relationship with hyperuricaemia throughout. CKD is an independent impact factor for hyperuricaemia after 30 years old.

    Abstract: Extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) are serine/threonine kinases and function as regulators of cellular proliferation and differentiation. Recently, we demonstrated that inhibition of ERK1/2 alleviates the development and progression of hyperuricemia nephropathy (HN). However, its potential roles in uric acid-induced tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tubular epithelial cell injury are unknown. In this study, we showed that hyperuricemic injury induced EMT as characterized by downregulation of E-cadherin and upregulation of vimentin and Snail1 in a rat model of HN. This was coincident with epithelial cells arrested at the G 2 /M phase of cell cycle, activation of Notch1/Jagged-1 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways, and upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9. Administration of U0126, a selective inhibitor of ERK1/2, blocked all these responses. U0126 was also effective in inhibiting renal tubular cell injury, as shown by decreased expression of lipocalin-2 and kidney injury molecule-1 and active forms of caspase-3. U0126 or ERK1/2 siRNA can inhibit tubular cell EMT and cell apoptosis as characterized with decreased expression of cleaved caspase-3. Moreover, ERK1/2 inhibition suppressed hyperuricemic injury-induced oxidative stress as indicated by decreased malondialdehyde and increased superoxide dismutase. Collectively, ERK1/2 inhibition-elicited renal protection is associated with inhibition of EMT through inactivation of multiple signaling pathways and matrix metalloproteinases, as well as attenuation of renal tubule injury by enhancing cellular resistance to oxidative stress.

    Abstract: The catalytic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), has been reported to be involved in angiogenesis in some tumors and autoimmune diseases. However, the mechanisms by which EZH2 regulates peritoneal angiogenesis remain unclear. We detected the expression of EZH2 in clinical samples and the peritoneal tissue of a mouse peritoneal fibrosis model induced by chlorhexidine gluconate (CG). In addition, we further investigated the mechanisms by which inhibition of EZH2 by 3‐deazaneplanocin A (3‐DZNeP) alleviated the CG‐induced peritoneal fibrosis mouse model in vivo and 3‐DZNeP or EZH2 siRNA treatment in cultured human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The expression of EZH2 in the peritoneum of long‐term peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and the CG‐induced peritoneal fibrosis mouse model was remarkably increased and this was positively associated with higher expression of vascular markers (CD31, CD34, VEGF, p‐VEGFR2). Peritoneal injection of 3‐DZNeP attenuated angiogenesis in the peritoneum of CG‐injured mice; improved peritoneal membrane function; and decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, ERK1/2, and activation of Wnt1/β‐catenin. In in vitro experiments, we demonstrated that inhibition of EZH2 by 3‐DZNeP or EZH2 siRNA decreased tube formation and the migratory ability of HUVECs via two pathways: the Wnt1/β‐catenin pathway and the IL‐6/STAT3 pathway. Suppression of the Wnt1/β‐catenin pathway and the IL‐6/STAT3 pathway subsequently reduced VEGF production in HPMCs. Using specific inhibitors of VEGFR2, ERK1/2, and HIF‐1α, we found that a VEGFR2/ERK1/2/HIF‐1α axis existed and contributed to angiogenesis in vitro . Moreover, phosphorylation of VEGFR2 and activation of the ERK1/2 pathway and HIF‐1α in HUVECs could be suppressed by inhibition of EZH2. Taken together, the results of this study suggest that EZH2 may be a novel target for preventing peritoneal angiogenesis in PD patients. © 2022 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

    Abstract: Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is a major cause of ultrafiltration failure in long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Nevertheless, limited measures have been shown to be effective for the prevention and treatment of PF. Some views reveal that activation of autophagy ameliorates PF but others demonstrate that autophagy promotes PF. It is obvious that the role of autophagy in PF is controversial and further studies are needed. Here, we investigated the role of autophagy in rat models of PF and damaged cultured human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs). Autophagy was highly activated in fibrotic peritoneum from two PF rat models induced by 4.25% peritoneal dialysate fluid (PDF) and 0.1% chlorhexidine gluconate (CG). Blockade of autophagy with 3-MA effectively prevented PF in both models and reversed epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) by down-regulating TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathway and downstream nuclear transcription factors Slug and Snail. Treatment with 3-MA also inhibited activation of EGFR/ERK1/2 signaling pathway during PF. Moreover, 3-MA prominently decreased STAT3/NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response and macrophage infiltration, and prevented peritoneal angiogenesis through downregulation of β-catenin signal. In addition, TGF-β1 stimulation up-regulated autophagic activity as evidenced by the increased autophagosome in vitro . Exposure of HPMCs to TGF-β1 resulted in the induction of EMT and activation of TGF-β/Smad3, EGFR/ERK1/2 signaling pathways. Treatment with 3-MA blocked all these responses. In addition, delayed administration of 3-MA was effective in reducing EMT induced by TGF-β1. Taken together, our study indicated that autophagy might promote PF and 3-MA had anti-fibrosis effect in vivo and in vitro . These results suggest that autophagy could be a potential target on PF therapy for clinical patients with long-term PD.
