BACKGROUND: End stage renal disease (ESRD) has caused public health problem with high prevalence worldwide. Peritoneum from peritoneal dialysis patients with ESRD can induce pathological changes of the peritoneum, including fibrosis. The trans-differentiation of pericytes has been found to be closely associated with inflammatory diseases, such as organ fibrosis. However, the function of macrophages in regulating the transition of pericyte to peritoneal fibrosis is unclear.
METHODS: Histological examination was conducted using Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Masson's trichrome staining. The protein levels were determined via western blot. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to examine IL-1β concentrations. Gasdermin D (GSDMD) was knocked out in mice by Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-CRISPR-Associated 9 (CRISPR-Cas9).
RESULTS: Mice receiving dextrose peritoneal dialysate displayed mesothelial cell monolayer loss and thickness of submesothelial compact zone increase. Moreover, dextrose peritoneal dialysate treatment up-regulated GSDMD expression. GSDMD knockdown inhibited IL-1β production in macrophages. Further, pericytes were treated with cultural supernatant from macrophages. We found that GSDMD knockdown suppressed fibrosis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway in pericytes. In addition, GSDMD were knocked out in mice using CRISPR/Cas9. The histological examinations revealed that GSDMD-/- alleviated the damage of peritoneal tissue and thickness of submesothelial compact zone. GSDMD-/- attenuated interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) level and peritoneal fibrosis induced by dextrose peritoneal dialysate treatment in pericytes in vivo.
CONCLUSION: These results demonstrated that macrophages can regulate the transition of pericyte to peritoneal fibrosis via the GSDMD/IL-1β axis, which provides a new therapeutic target.
