Abstract:
AIM: To understand the effect of osmotic agents on hyaluronan synthesis in human peritoneal mesothelial cells(HPMCs). METHODS: Cultured HPMCs were stimulated with 90 mmol/L glucose(HG), 30 mmol/L glucose(LG), 5% polyglucose(PG) and 90 mmol/L mannitol. Extracellular cell coats were examined using particle exclusion assay, the expressions of hyaluronan synthase 2 and 3(HAS-2 and HAS-3) mRNA in HPMCs were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The concentration of hyaluronan in cultured medium was measured by hyaluronan radio-immunoassay kits. RESULTS: HAS-2 mRNA expressions in the four experimental experimental groups were significantly higher than that of the control group. However, only HG enhanced HAS-3 mRNA expression. The sizes of the extracelluar coat in the four experimental groups were not significantly different from that of the control. In addition, hyaluronan concentrations were significantly higher in the four experimental groups as compared with the control group. The hyaluronan concentration in HG group was much higher than that of the LG, PG and mannitol groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although polyglucose increased HAS-2 mRNA expression, it tended to have no effect on HAS-3 mRNA in HPMCs. This result implies that polyglucose might be more biocompatible to peritoneum in peritoneal dialysis as compared with hypertonic glucose.
