Urine chemokines indicate pathogenic association of obesity with BPH/LUTS

Abstract: Objectives High prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) consistent with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is associated with obesity and prostatic inflammation. Here, we investigated whether chemokines associated with obesity and prostatic inflammation can be measured in normally voided urine of BPH/LUTS patients to demonstrate the mechanistic association between obesity and BPH/LUTS. Methods Frozen urine specimens of BPH/LUTS patients enrolled in the Nashville Men's Health Study were sent for blin… Show more

“…This study had only five cases with severe symptoms, but one possible explanation might be that inflammatory chronic prostatitis caused the severe symptoms, leading to lower MCP-1 levels in urine. Tyagi et al studied the association of urinary levels of MCP-1, CXCL-1, CXCL-8, CXCL-10, CCl3 and sIL-1ra with BPH/LUTS and urine levels of CXCL-8, CXCL-10, and sIL-1ra were associated with BPH/LUTS [17]. Tyagi et al used the urine without massage, which might cause the difference from our results.…”

“…Besides, median urine levels of sIL‐1Ra measured here in overweight or obese men with BPH were comparable to the published levels of sIL‐1Ra in serum of lean men, which lend support to the suggestion that serum elevation of sIL‐1Ra precedes the elevation in urine. The larger sample size of this study was able to reproduce the association of sIL‐1Ra in urine with obesity measures of BMI, waist circumference and waist‐hip ratio, found earlier in a pilot study . Therefore, sIL‐1Ra is the key molecular correlate for the obesity or greater body size of BPH patients, which is detectable in both serum and urine.…”
