Background. Postoperative abdominal adhesion remains one of the frequent complications after abdominal surgery and lacks effective intervention. Peritoneal mesothelial cell injury and healing play crucial roles in the process of adhesion formation, and identifying this mechanism might provide new insight into possible new therapeutic strategies for this disease. Transmembrane and immunoglobulin domain-containing 1 (TMIGD1) has been proven to protect renal epithelial cells from injury induced by oxidative stress and has also been identified as a novel adhesion molecule. Here, we investigated the role of TMIGD1 and its possible mechanism in adhesion formation. Materials and Methods. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), qPCR, and immunofluorescence (IHF) were used to detect the expression of TMIGD1. The grade and tenacity score of adhesion were used to evaluate the adhesion formation conditions. A TMIGD1-overexpressing HMrSV5 cell line was established. MTT assay, Western blotting, Annexin V apoptosis analysis, and CK19 staining were used to measure mesothelial cell viability, apoptosis, and completeness. ROS and MDA detection were used to measure mesothelial cell oxidative stress levels. JC-1 staining, IHF, and transmission electron microscopy were performed to assess mitochondrial function. Scratch-wound and adhesion assays were used to evaluate the adhesion ability of mesothelial cells. Results. First, we showed that TMIGD1 was decreased in mouse abdominal adhesion tissue and peritoneal mesothelial cells. Second, TMIGD1 overexpression inhibited adhesion formation. Third, TMIGD1 overexpression protected mesothelial cells from hydrogen peroxide- (H2O2-) induced oxidative stress injury. Fourth, TMIGD1 overexpression alleviated oxidative stress by protecting the mitochondrial function of mesothelial cells. In addition, TMIGD1 overexpression enhanced mesothelial cell adhesion. Conclusion. Our findings suggest that TMIGD1 protects mesothelial cells from oxidative stress injury by protecting their mitochondrial function, which is decreased in regular abdominal adhesion tissue. In addition, TMIGD1 enhances peritoneal mesothelial cell adhesion to promote healing.

The peritoneal mesothelium is composed of an extensive monolayer of mesothelial cells that lines the body's serous cavity and internal organs and was previously thought to act principally as a protective nonadhesive lubricating surface to facilitate intracoelomic movement. With the introduction of peritoneal dialysis over three decades ago, there has been much interest in the cell biology of peritoneal mesothelial cells. Independent studies have highlighted specific properties of the peritoneal mesothelial cell, including antigen presentation, regenerative properties, clearance of fibrin; synthesis of cytokines, growth factors, and matrix proteins; and secretion of lubricants to protect the tissue from abrasion, adhesion, infection, and tumor dissemination. It is now evident that the mesothelium is not merely a passive membrane but, rather, a dynamic membrane that contributes substantially to the structural, functional, and homeostatic properties of the peritoneum. Since peritoneal mesothelial cells in culture possess immunohistochemical markers identical to mesothelial stem cells, the culture of mesothelial cells offers researchers an essential tool to assess their morphologic, structural, and functional properties. This review will discuss current procedures to isolate peritoneal mesothelial cells from human omental specimens, animal sources, and spent dialysate. Furthermore, the functional and morphologic properties of mesothelial cells are discussed, together with the potential use of mesothelial cell culture in research and clinical applications.

Increased high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in dialysis effluence is associated with the presence of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in patients and peritoneal dysfunction in acute peritonitis mice model, but it remains unclear whether HMGB1 is involved in peritoneal mesothelial cell injury and functions via molecular posttranslational modifications by acetylation in this process. Here we first showed correlation between HMGB1 acetylation level in dialysis effluence of patients and occurrence of Gram-negative peritonitis. The increased level of acetylated HMGB1 was similarly observed under the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) treatment in both human peritoneal mesothelial cell line (HMrSV5) and mice visceral peritoneum tissue. Overexpression of wild-type, but not hypoacetylation mutant of HMGB1, enhanced LPS-induced apoptosis in HMrSV5 cells, which was accompanied by elevated protein levels of BAX and cleaved-caspase 3 compared to the control. Pretreatment of HMrSV5 cell with JNK inhibitor attenuated LPS-induced HMGB1 acetylation. Consistently, primary peritoneal mesothelial cells from Jnk1-/- mice showed a lower protein contents of acetylated HMGB1, fewer apoptosis, and decreased protein expression of BAX and cleaved-caspase3 after LPS exposure, as compared to those from wild-type mice. In conclusion, our data demonstrated HMGB1 promotes LPS-induced peritoneal mesothelial cells apoptosis, which is associated with JNK1-mediated upregulation of HMGB1 acetylation.

Abstract BackgroundPostoperative abdominal adhesion is one of the most commonly observed complications after abdominal surgery. However, there is no effective treatment for adhesion other than enterolysis. Mesothelial cell repair plays an extremely important role in the process of adhesion formation. Here, we hypothesize that transmembrane and immunoglobulin domain-containing 1 (TMIGD1) is expressed at low levels in abdominal adhesion tissue and can reduce oxidative stress and promote cell adhesion in peritoneal mesothelial cells.Materials and MethodsFirst, we performed gene microarray analysis and used qPCR, western blotting, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence to detect the expression of TMIGD1 in rat adhesion tissue and normal peritoneal tissue. Then, we established a TMIGD1-overexpressing HMrSV5 cell line and detected ROS, apoptosis, and the mitochondrial membrane potential by the MTT assay, western blotting, flow cytometry with 2’,7’-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) as a probe. Furthermore, we examined p38 phosphorylation in different TMIGD1-expressing cell lines and used a p38 inhibitor to determine whether the antioxidant effect of TMIGD1 is dependent on p38. Finally, we evaluated the adhesion ability of different TMIGD1 cell lines using scratch wound and adhesion assays.ResultsTMIGD1 was expressed at low levels in adhesion tissue and at lower levels in mesothelial cells. TMIGD1 overexpression alleviated H2O2-induced oxidative stress injury in human HMrSV5 cell lines. The phosphorylation level of p38 was higher in the TMIGD1-overexpressing cell line, and we found that the effect of TMIGD1 was inhibited by a p38 inhibitor. In addition, TMIGD1 overexpression inhibited mesothelial cell migration and promoted mesothelial cell adhesion.ConclusionTMIGD1 is expressed at low levels in abdominal adhesion tissue and can reduce H2O2-induced oxidative stress by promoting p38 phosphorylation. In addition, TMIGD1 can promote cell adhesion.# These authors contributed equally to this work.

♦ Background The introduction of peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a modality of renal replacement therapy has provoked much interest in the biology of the peritoneal mesothelial cell. Mesothelial cells isolated from omental tissue have immunohistochemical markers that are identical to those of mesothelial stem cells, and omental mesothelial cells can be cultivated in vitro to study changes to their biologic functions in the setting of PD. ♦ Method The present article describes the structure and function of mesothelial cells in the normal peritoneum and details the morphologic changes that occur after the introduction of PD. Furthermore, this article reviews the literature of mesothelial cell culture and the limitations of in vitro studies. ♦ Results The mesothelium is now considered to be a dynamic membrane that plays a pivotal role in the homeostasis of the peritoneal cavity, contributing to the control of fluid and solute transport, inflammation, and wound healing. These functional properties of the mesothelium are compromised in the setting of PD. Cultures of peritoneal mesothelial cells from omental tissue provide a relevant in vitro model that allows researchers to assess specific molecular pathways of disease in a distinct population of cells. Structural and functional attributes of mesothelial cells are discussed in relation to long-term culture, proliferation potential, age of tissue donor, use of human or animal in vitro models, and how the foregoing factors may influence in vitro data. ♦ Conclusions The ability to propagate mesothelial cells in culture has resulted, over the past two decades, in an explosion of mesothelial cell research pertaining to PD and peritoneal disorders. Independent researchers have highlighted the potential use of mesothelial cells as targets for gene therapy or transplantation in the search to provide therapeutic strategies for the preservation of the mesothelium during chemical or bacterial injury.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in peritoneal metastasis of Gastric cancer (GC). Tumor exosomes can mediate tumor directed metastasis, and TGF-β1 is an important factor in inducing tumor Epithelial mesenchymal transition. However, it is not clear whether GC derived exosomes can induce peritoneal mesothelial cells through the TGF-β1/ Smads pathway and the effect of injured peritoneal mesothelial cells on the biological characteristics of GC cells. In this study, we demonstrated that GC-derived exosomes can activate the TGF-β1/Smads pathway in peritoneal mesothelial cells and induce the corresponding EMT process, and that the injured peritoneal mesothelial cells can improve the migration and adhesion of GC cells. Taken together, these data further support the critical role of exosomes in the remodeling of the pre-metastatic microenvironment.

Abstract Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been used as important cell-based tools for clinical applications. Oxidative stress-induced apoptosis causes a low survival rate after transplantation, and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria are vital organelles regulated by adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), especially during oxidative stress injury. Melatonin exerts an antioxidant effect by scavenging free radicals. Here, we aimed to explore whether cytoprotective melatonin relieves ER stress-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction through AMPK in BMSCs after oxidative stress injury. Methods Mouse BMSCs were isolated and exposed to H2O2 in the absence or presence of melatonin. Thereafter, cell damage, oxidative stress levels, mitochondrial function, AMPK activity, ER stress-related proteins, and apoptotic markers were measured. Additionally, the involvement of AMPK and ER stress in the melatonin-mediated protection of BMSCs against H2O2-induced injury was investigated using pharmacologic agonists and inhibitors. Results Melatonin improved cell survival and restored mitochondrial function. Moreover, melatonin intimately regulated the phosphorylation of AMPK and molecules associated with ER stress pathways. AMPK activation and ER stress inhibition following melatonin administration improved the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), reduced mitochondria-initiated oxidative damage, and ultimately suppressed apoptotic signaling pathways in BMSCs. Cotreatment with N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) significantly enhanced the antioxidant effect of melatonin. Importantly, pharmacological AMPK activation/ER stress inhibition promoted melatonin-induced cytoprotection, while pharmacological AMPK inactivation/ER stress induction conferred resistance to the effect of melatonin against H2O2 insult. Conclusions Our data also reveal a new, potentially therapeutic mechanism by which melatonin protects BMSCs from oxidative stress-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis, possibly by regulating the AMPK-ER stress pathway.

Cell seeding may decrease the thrombogenicity of implanted vascular grafts, but its application is hampered by the limited availability of autologous endothelial cells. Human peritoneal mesothelial cells have blood flow supporting qualities and are readily available. This study investigated the adherence of mesothelial cells to vascular prostheses and their subsequent growth in vitro. Circular pieces of various vascular prosthetic materials were seeded with 51Chromium-labeled mesothelial and endothelial cells and left for either 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes. The unattached cells were removed and the degree of cell attachment was measured. The number of mesothelial cells to Dacron increased during the first 60 min up to 35.2 % of the seeded inoculum whereafter a plateau was reached. Scanning electron microscopy showed spreaded mesothelial cells adherent to the Dacron fibers. A significant increase in adherence was observed after preincubation of Dacron with 10 μg/mL fibronectin, but no improvement was found after preincubation with human serum albumin or gelatin. Mesothelial cells adhered better to Gelcoated than to Gelsealed or plain Dacron. The adherence of mesothelial cells to ePTFE (Teflon) was significantly poorer. No significant differences in adherence were found between mesothelial and endothelial cells. Mesothelial cell growth on Dacron resulted in a modest increase in the number of viable cells during 27 days, which implies biocompatibility of Dacron and mesothelial cells in vitro.

Background. microRNA (miRNA, miR) are thought to interact with multiple mRNAs which are involved in the EMT process. But the role of miRNAs in peritoneal fibrosis has remained unknown.Objective. To determine if miRNA589 regulates the EMT induced by TGFβ1 in human peritoneal mesothelial cell line (HMrSV5 cells).Methods. 1. Level of miR589 was detected in both human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) isolated from continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients’ effluent and HMrSV5 cells treated with or without TGFβ1. 2. HMrSV5 cells were divided into three groups: control group, TGFβ1 group, and pre-miR-589+TGFβ1 group. The level of miRNA589 was determined by realtime PCR. The expressions of ZO-1, vimentin, and E-cadherin in HPMCs were detected, respectively.Results. Decreased level of miRNA589 was obtained in either HPMCs of long-term CAPD patients or HMrSV5 cells treated with TGFβ1. In vitro, TGFβ1 led to upregulation of vimentin and downregulation of ZO-1 as well as E-cadherin in HMrSV5 cells, which suggested EMT, was induced. The changes were accompanied with notably decreased level of miRNA589 in HMrSV5 cells treated with TGFβ1. Overexpression of miRNA589 by transfection with pre-miRNA589 partially reversed these EMT changes.Conclusion. miRNA589 mediates TGFβ1 induced EMT in human peritoneal mesothelial cells.
