Genomic damage in endothelial progenitor cells from uremic patients in hemodialysis.

Abstract：

INTRODUCTION:End stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Patients undergoing hemodialysis show a reduced number and an impaired function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which in physiological conditions contribute to repair the vascular damage. In patients with ESRD, massive oxidative genome damage has been demonstrated but the role of HD in causing it is still a controversial issue. The aim of our study was to analyze the effects of a single HD session on the number of cells marked with CD34 (including sub-type cells known to be EPCs); we then evaluated the genomic damage in these cells using COMET assay. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We quantified CD34(+) cells in blood samples in 30 patients in hemodiafiltration treatment for 3.5 to 4 hours 3 times/week and in 30 healthy volunteers. In HD patients, blood samples were drawn at different time intervals: start of dialysis (T(0)), at the end of the treatment (T(end)) and 24 hours afterwards in the interdialytic day (T(inter)). Staining and analysis was performed using the ISHAGE (International Society of Hematotherapy and Graft Engineering) guidelines. EPCs count was conducted using a multiparameter flow cytometric lyse no-wash method. Genomic damage was evaluated by Comet assay. RESULTS:The number of CD34(+) cells in the HD patients at the beginning of the dialysis session (T(0)) was significantly lower than in healthy controls. HD patients showed a significant increase in CD34 number at the end of the session (T(end)) with respect to T(0). In the interdialytic period (T(int)), the number of CD34(+) cells was significantly reduced with respect to T(end). COMET assay performed on CD34(+) cells showed a higher basal level of genomic damage in HD patients than in controls; it increased in a statistically significant manner after the hemodialysis session, while in the interdialytic period it came back to T(0) level. CONCLUSIONS:Uremic status is characterized by lower levels of circulating EPCs, which increase after a single session of HD together with genomic damage to the CD34(+) cells.
