Oxidative stress reduces the muscarinic receptor function in the urinary bladder

Abstract: The results of our study demonstrate that oxidative stress induced by CHP affects pig bladder contractility. The muscarinic receptor signaling system is severely damaged. L-type calcium channels and the contractile system are less affected and cholinergic nerves remain largely unaffected.

“…Functional in vitro studies show that application of RNOS damages the bladder contractile system. 22,23 This correlates with the reduced detrusor contractility found in severely obstructed bladders. In our study of moderately obstructed bladders, the contractile system of the smooth muscle was not impaired, however a denervation was observed.…”

“…Surprisingly, cholinergic nerves seem to be largely unaffected by in vitro exposure of the detrusor muscle to RNOS. 22,23 These conflicting data might be explained by the duration of in vitro experiments which may be too short for mediating nerve damage. Furthermore, oxidative stress imposed on the bladder muscle in vitro has a more acute nature than the oxidative stress that occurs in vivo.…”

“…15,[17][18][19][21][22][23]44 In order to avoid animal experiments we decided to use bladders from freshly killed animals from the slaughterhouse. From the logistical point of view we had the immense advantage that the extraction of an abundant number of bladders every day took a matter of minutes.…”

“…14 For any in vitro model to be clinically relevant it is imperative that these factors be taken into consideration during model development. Much of the knowledge of urinary bladder function comes from in vitro muscle strips studies, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] which have a functional utility limited by the fact that strip contraction can only be recorded in one plane: results do not reflect the potentially complex interactions that underlie the pressure-volume relationship of the intact bladder. 24,25 The pig detrusor is considered an appropriate model for investigating the physiology of bladder function, as the pig has comparable urodynamic chracteristics to that of humans.…”
