Abstract:
:Approximately 20% of monocytes and peritoneal macrophages from renal failure patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) were transferrin-receptor (TfR) positive by immunofluorescence, whereas cells from normal controls were generally TfR negative, as were monocytes from rheumatoid arthritis patients and from renal failure patients treated by haemodialysis. There was a significant correlation between the length of time on CAPD and the proportion of TfR-positive blood monocytes. CAPD peritoneal macrophages possessed 6.7-37.1 x 10(3) transferrin binding sites per cell, with a Ka of 3-25 x 10(7) mol l-1. In culture, monocytes from CAPD patients showed a progressive decrease in TfR expression, while in contrast about 20% of monocytes from normal controls which were originally 100% TfR negative expressed TfR after 3 days in culture. These findings indicate that regulation of TfR in monocytes/macrophages is complex, and that frequent removal of peritoneal cells during dialysate exchange may place a strain on the bone marrow, resulting in the release of an increasingly immature population of TfR positive monocytes to the circulation in CAPD patients.
