To assess the release of proteases from neutrophils infiltrated into the peritoneal cavity in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), we investigated the regulation of CD43, LAM-1 and Mac-1 expression on the neutrophil plasma membrane using FACS analysis in CAPD patients with peritonitis. Five CAPD patients with peritonitis and five CAPD patients without peritonitis were studied. CD43 expression was immunohistochemically determined in both groups of patients using flow cytometry, and comparisons were made between the two groups. Down-regulation of CD43 and LAM-1, and up-regulation of Mac-1 were demonstrated on neutrophils obtained from CAPD dialysate of peritonitis patients after 1-h dwell time. Further up-regulation of Mac-1 developed until a dwell time of 4 h. Immunoblot analysis for neutrophil lysate from dialysate showed the presence of the asialo form of CD43 molecules and their fragments, which may be produced by cleavage of the CD43 molecule at extracellular sites. The intraperitoneal neutrophils in dialysate from CAPD patients with peritonitis are continuously activated during dwell time, and proteases may be released from neutrophils into dialysate after only a short dwell time.
