Animal models of peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF) exposure are key tools in the study of mechanisms involved in alterations of the peritoneal membrane and in the design of therapies. We recently developed a mouse model of chronic peritoneal exposure to high glucose dialysate. Herein, we make a sequential analysis of the effects of glucose-based PDF on mouse peritoneal membrane and on mesothelium. We demonstrate that chronic exposure to PDF induces thickness and fibrosis of the peritoneal membrane in a time-dependent manner. We also show that mesothelial cells progressively detach and lose cytokeratin expression. In addition, we demonstrate that some mesothelial cells invade the submesothelial space, where they appear as cytokeratin- and alpha-smooth muscle actin-positive cells. These findings demonstrate that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of mesothelial cells takes place in mouse peritoneum exposed to PDF, validating this model for the study of effects of drugs on the EMT process as a therapy for peritoneal deterioration.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D010530 Peritoneal Dialysis Dialysis fluid being introduced into and removed from the peritoneal cavity as either a continuous or an intermittent procedure. Dialyses, Peritoneal,Dialysis, Peritoneal,Peritoneal Dialyses
D010537 Peritoneum A membrane of squamous EPITHELIAL CELLS, the mesothelial cells, covered by apical MICROVILLI that allow rapid absorption of fluid and particles in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. The peritoneum is divided into parietal and visceral components. The parietal peritoneum covers the inside of the ABDOMINAL WALL. The visceral peritoneum covers the intraperitoneal organs. The double-layered peritoneum forms the MESENTERY that suspends these organs from the abdominal wall.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
