Regulation of Synthesis and Roles of Hyaluronan in Peritoneal Dialysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hyaluronan (HA) is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan composed of repeated disaccharide units of alternating D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamine residues linked via alternating β-1,4 and β-1,3 glycosidic bonds. HA is synthesized in humans by HA synthase (HAS) enzymes 1, 2, and 3, which are encoded by the corresponding HAS genes. Previous in vitro studies have shown characteristic changes in HAS expression and increased HA synthesis in response to wounding and proinflammatory cytokines in human peritoneal mesothelial cells. In addition, in vivo models and human peritoneal biopsy samples have provided evidence of changes in HA metabolism in the fibrosis that at present accompanies peritoneal dialysis treatment. This review discusses these published observations and how they might contribute to improvement in peritoneal dialysis.

متن کاملCan Plasma Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase Be Used As Markers of the Endothelial Glycocalyx State in Patients with Kidney Disease?
Hyaluronan (HA) is widely spread in the body and is an important component of the extracellular matrix, including the endothelial glycocalyx (EG). Essential for its vasculoprotective function, HA is involved in vascular permeability and many other processes. In patients with kidney disease, plasma HA is higher than expected, but the extent to which plasma HA and its degrading enzyme hyaluronida...
متن کاملComparison of the Effects of Using Self-regulation Theory and self-care Education on Medical Adherence in Patients Receiving Peritoneal Kidney Dialysis
Background: Medical adherence is critical to peritoneal dialysis (PD) success. Accordingly, the self-regulation approach plays a crucial role in disease management and treatment progress through the formation of an organized pattern of beliefs in patients. Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of self-regulation theory (SRT) and self-care training on medical adherence in pat...
متن کاملPathophysiology of the Peritoneal Membrane during Peritoneal Dialysis: The Role of Hyaluronan
During peritoneal dialysis (PD), constant exposure of mesothelial cells to bioincompatible PD solutions results in the denudation of the mesothelial monolayer and impairment of mesothelial cell function. Hyaluronan, a major component of extracellular matrices, is synthesized by mesothelial cells and contributes to remesothelialization, maintenance of cell phenotype, and tissue remodeling and pr...
متن کاملModulation of fibrinolytic system components in mesothelial cells by hyaluronan.
OBJECTIVE Hyaluronan (HA) is an important extracellular matrix component and is involved in fluid homeostasis, tissue repair, and response to infections. Previous studies have shown that supplementation of dialysis fluid with high molecular weight HA may have a positive impact on peritoneal solute and fluid transport characteristics. In the present study, we investigated the impact of HA on the...
