title: [Effect of indomethacin on fibronectin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in cultured human peritoneal mesothelial cells].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the effect of indomethacin on high concentration glucose and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced fibronectin (FN) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) secretion in cultured human peritoneal mesothelial cells.
  
  
  METHODS
  Mesothelial cells were isolated from human omental specimens by trypsin disaggregation and incubated by 2.5% glucose or LPS together with different concentrations of indomethacin. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay determined the quantity of FN and PAI-1 in the cultured supernatants.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared with the control group, the levels of FN and PAI-1 in the cultured supernatants were increased significantly exposuring to high concentration glucose and LPS (P <0.01). The different concentrations of indomethacin decreased FN and PAI-1 secretion in the 2.5% glucose or the LPS group within 24 h (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Indomethacin can inhibit the synthesis and secretion of extracellular matrix in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, which may be effective in the gene therapy for peritoneal fibrosis.
