Abstract

Peritoneal fibrosis is a common consequence of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), and peritonitis is a factor in its onset. Agonist-bound peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) function as key regulators of energy metabolism and inflammation. Here, we examined the effects of PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 on peritonitis in a rat peritoneal fibrosis model. Peritoneal fibrosis secondary to inflammation was induced into uremic rats by daily injection of Dianeal 4.25 % PD solutions along with six doses of lipopolysaccharide before commencement of GW501516 treatment. Normal non-uremic rats served as control, and all rats were fed with a control diet or a GW501516-containing diet. Compared to control group, exposure to PD fluids caused peritoneal fibrosis that was accompanied by increased mRNA levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, tumor necrotic factor-α, and interleukin-6 in the uremic rats, and these effects were prevented by GW501516 treatment. Moreover, GW501516 was found to attenuate glucose-stimulated inflammation in cultured rat peritoneal mesothelial cells via inhibition of transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), and nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) signaling pathway (TAK1–NFκB pathway), a main inflammation regulatory pathway. In conclusion, inhibition of TAK1–NFκB pathway with GW501516 may represent a novel therapeutic approach to ameliorate peritonitis-induced peritoneal fibrosis for patients on PD.
