Bladder urothelium converts bacterial lipopolysaccharide information into neural signaling via an ATP-mediated pathway to enhance the micturition reflex for rapid defense

Abstract: When bacteria enter the bladder lumen, a first-stage active defensive mechanism flushes them out. Although urinary frequency induced by bacterial cystitis is a well-known defensive response against bacteria, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, using a mouse model of acute bacterial cystitis, we demonstrate that the bladder urothelium senses luminal extracellular bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) through Toll-like receptor 4 and releases the transmitter ATP. Moreover, analysis of purinergi… Show more

“…It is important to highlight that the IC/BPS is a non-bacterial inflammation of the bladder wall, only the symptoms are similar to bacterial cystitis. Usually the cystitis is caused by Gram negative bacterial infection and the signaling pathway starts with activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that is the common virulence factor [ 39 ]. The LPS targets the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) [ 40 ].…”

“…In addition to its roles in physiological bladder functions, ATP likely contributes to bladder dysfunctions that are characterized with urinary urgency and increased voiding frequency, with or without urge incontinence. For example, ATP is increased in the urine in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome [ 11 , 12 ], interstitial cystitis and bladder pain syndrome [ 13 , 14 , 15 ], and bladder infection and inflammation [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Conversely, decreased intravesical ATP has been found in patients with refractory detrusor overactivity and bacteriuria [ 19 ] and in patients with underactive bladder syndrome [ 20 ].…”

“…It may be interesting to compare the effects of 5-HT1D and 5-HT4 receptors activation on mechanosensory transduction in the bladder, since both are enriched in the uroepithelium ( Matsumoto-Miyai et al, 2016 ). Matsumoto-Miyai et al (2016) reported that application of 5-HT to the mucosal side caused inhibition of stretch-induced ATP release and such effect was dependent on 5-HT 1D R but not 5-HT 4 R. ATP has been the most extensively studied signaling molecule released by the urothelium in response to mechanical stretch or chemical cues such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) ( Ueda et al, 2020 ). Multiple P2 purinergic receptors have been detected in the bladder, which may mediate diverse effects of extracellular ATP.…”
