Notably, proteins such as Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EPCAM), Tenascin-R (TN-R), Delta-Like Canonical Ligand 1 (DLL1), Glial Cell-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF), C-X-C Motif Chemokine 9 (CXCL9) demonstrated upregulated expression levels in the peritonitis groups compared to the sham group. Here, GDNF is linked to peritonitis.
