Peritoneal inflammation associated with protein and PGE2 leakage into peritoneal fluid. Increased expression of COX-2 mRNA and mast cells in diaphragms on day 22 was decreased on day 50 after peritoneal lavage. (a) Protein leakage into and (b) prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the peritoneal dialysis fluid. (c) COX-2 mRNA expression, and (d) the number of mast cells in the diaphragm. (each group, n=6). Lac Z, treatment with Adeno-LacZ; NS, not significant; R3-Ig, treatment with Adeno-sVEGFR-3-Ig.
