Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction
Oxidative stress is prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is further aggravated in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The role of antioxidant, antiapoptotic Parkinson Disease Protein 7 (PARK7) in PD is yet unknown.
Aims
We aimed to reveal the therapeutic potential of PARK7 protein in the peritoneum and during peritoneal dialysis.
Methods
Omental arteriolar multiomics datasets from age-matched children (non-CKD, CKD5, low- and high-GDP PD, n=6/group) underwent PARK7-related gene set analysis (FDR<0.05). PARK7 was quantified by Western Blotting in effluents (n=8, high-GDP PD) and by immunohistochemistry in tissues of humans (n=60). PARK7 activity-dependent viability (MTT assay) and transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) were measured in-vitro in endothelial cells (HUVEC) with the administration of a PARK7-activator compound.
Result
Arteriolar transcriptome and proteome PARK7-related GO term analysis demonstrated oxidant detoxification-, mitochondria- and apoptosis-related process enrichment in low- and high-GDP PD versus CKD5. PARK7 was detectable in all effluents. Total peritoneal PARK7 abundance is increased in children on PD compared to CKD5, with 2-fold high abundance in mesothelial PARK7 with low-GDP and 2-fold in submesothelial abundance with high-GPD PD. In low-GDP PD endothelial PARK7 abundance, correlated with vessel lumen/diameter ratio (r=0.53, p=0.06), therefore inversely with lumen obliteration. Submesothelial PARK7 correlated with microvessel density (r=0.55, p=0.05), hypoxia inducible factor-1 and angiopoietin 1 and -2 (ρ=0.63 p=0.02, r=0.91 p<0.0001, r=0.60 p=0.03), but not with VEGF. Methylglyoxal dose-dependently reduced HUVEC viability and TER, co-incubation with compound partially preserved viability, but not TER.
Conclusion
In children, peritoneal PARK7 is increased by PD and in low-GDP PD correlated with vascular lumen narrowing and VEGF-independent angiogenesis. Our histological and in vitro studies suggest PARK7 as a potential key-molecule in the membrane- and vascular damage of the peritoneum during peritoneal dialysis.
