title: Monocytes from dialysis patients exhibit characteristics of senescent cells: does it really mean inflammation?
abstract: Hemodialysis treatment induces mononuclear cell activation particularly if cellulosic hemodialysis membrane is used. In normal cells, repeated activation induce a process of accelerate cellular senescence. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the mononuclear cell activation associated to hemodialysis with cellulosic membranes favors a process of accelerate senescence in mononuclear cells. Our results show that mononuclear cells from patients dialyzed with cellulosic membranes, exhibit: decrease telomere length, increase percentage of cells CD14dim/CD16bright and increase production of IL-1beta, IL1Ra and IL6 cytokines. After culture in vitro, these cells shown increase susceptibility to undergoing spontaneous apoptosis, that is enhanced by IL-4 and prevented by IL-1beta or LPS. All of these characteristics have been reported associated to senescence of monocytes, and not are observed in cells from controls subjects or patients dialyzed with non-cellulosic membranes, suggesting that hemodialysis with cellulosic membranes induce a process of senescence in mononuclear cells.
