Zinc (Zn) deficiency is important for inducing nucleotide-binding domain and leucine‑rich repeat‑containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in macrophages. However, its function in the NLRP3 inflammasome activation of peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) remains to be elucidated. In the present study, the human PMC (HPMC) line HMrSV5 was co‑treated with high glucose and either ZnSO4 or a Zn chelator. The activity of the NLRP3/caspase‑1 inflammasome was assessed via western blot analysis, immunofluorescence, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and ELISA. In addition, the activity of the nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway was detected using western blotting, and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was assessed by 2,7‑dichlorofluorescein fluorescence and flow cytometry. It was found that Zn supplementation inhibited HG‑induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the HPMCs by attenuating ROS production. Further experiments revealed that Zn supplementation inhibited the HG‑induced production of ROS through activation of the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. These results indicated that Zn inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the HG‑treated HPMCs by activating the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway and reducing the production of ROS.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D015032 Zinc A metallic element of atomic number 30 and atomic weight 65.38. It is a necessary trace element in the diet, forming an essential part of many enzymes, and playing an important role in protein synthesis and in cell division. Zinc deficiency is associated with ANEMIA, short stature, HYPOGONADISM, impaired WOUND HEALING, and geophagia. It is known by the symbol Zn.
D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
