PG - 506-16 LID - 10.3747/pdi.2013.00317 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Preventing peritoneal damage during peritoneal dialysis is critical. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have an important role in peritoneal damage; however, few studies have investigated this. We aimed to determine the effects of oral astaxanthin (AST) supplementation in a peritoneal fibrosis (PF) rat model. METHODS: Thirty-seven Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups: Control 1 (fed a normal diet without stimulation), Control 2 (fed an AST-supplemented diet without stimulation), Group 1 (fed a normal diet with 8% chlorhexidine gluconate [CG] stimulation for 3 weeks), Group 2 (fed a 0.06% AST-supplemented diet with CG stimulation), and Group 3 (fed a 0.06% AST-supplemented diet that was initiated 4 weeks before CG stimulation). Peritoneal fibrosis, vascular proliferation, and fibrosis-related factor expression were examined. RESULTS: Peritoneal thickness was significantly suppressed by AST supplementation. Astaxanthin diminished the number of CD68-, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)-, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)-positive cells. Type 3 collagen, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and MCP-1 mRNA expression was significantly lower in Group 3 than in Group 1. Increased transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and Snail mRNA expression, vascular density, and the number of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA)-positive cells were also decreased in Group 3. CONCLUSION: Astaxanthin suppressed PF development through the inhibition of inflammation and oxidation in PF rats. It appears that the anti-oxidative agent AST may be useful for the prevention of peritoneal damage. CI - Copyright (c) 2015 International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis.
