title: Biocompatibility assessment of peritoneal dialysis solutions with a new in vitro model of preconditioned human HL60 cells.
abstract: The purposes of this study were to test the human promyelocytic cell line HL60 for its usability as a new cell model for the immune barrier of the peritoneum, and to investigate the impact of different peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions in the model. HL60 cells were stimulated by retinoic acid and recombinant human granulocyte and macrophage colony-stimulating factor to differentiate into neutrophilic granulocytes. Cells were incubated in different commercially available PD solutions. After a 4-h incubation, functional (chemiluminescence phagocytosis) and viability tests (Live-Dead, XTT) were performed. High glucose concentrations (>1.36%) and low pH values (<7.0) appeared to be detrimental for neutrophil functions and for neutrophil viability. There is a quantitative correlation between glucose concentration and the cytotoxicity of standard PD solutions (PD 1.36% glucose shows 42.6% higher chemiluminescence than PD 3.86% glucose [P < 0.05]). PD solution containing icodextrin shows 74.3% higher chemiluminescence than PD 3.86% glucose, and PD solution with amino acids shows 52.4% higher chemiluminescence than PD 3.86% glucose which is a sign for better biocompatibility in these tests (P < 0.05). The test system is useful for biocompatibility investigations of PD solutions and their effect on immune cells, for example, neutrophil granulocytes. It does not depend on donor variability and availability in comparison to models based on primary isolated leukocytes.
