Single cell transcriptome of peritoneal cells
To define the transcriptomic landscape of human mesothelial cells in response to PD, we analyzed single cell transcriptomes including cells dissociated from normal peritoneum (hernia surgery, n = 3), and peritoneal cells from effluent of short-term PD patients (PD less than 2 weeks, n = 6) and from long-term PD patients (PD more than 6 years, n = 4) ,we demonstrate that mesothelial cells develop hyperglycolysis, a metabolic alteration that is correlated with the development of peritoneal fibrosis. Overall design: We studied cells dissociated from normal peritoneum (hernia surgery, n = 3  ), and peritoneal cells from effluent of short-term PD patients (PD less than 2 weeks, n = 6) and from long-term PD patients (PD more than 6 years, n = 4)
