“…Besides miR-15a-5p, peritoneal fibrosis is also modulated by miR-199a-5p, miR-214-3p, miR-30a, miR-153-3p, miR-21, miR-129-5p, miR-30b, miR-200, miR-145, miR-302c, miR-34a, and miR-29b [ 25 , 26 ]. Recently, the potential link between the intestinal microbiota and dysbiosis with peritoneal fibrosis has been discussed, in which several molecular and cellular mechanisms are likely to contribute to the formation of peritoneal fibrosis, for example, gut-sourced metabolites (e.g., short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS)), inflammation, production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress, activation of the host immune response, and intestinal bacterial translocation [ 27 ].…”
