We aimed to investigate the application of adipose-derived stromal cells in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Animal models of stress urinary incontinence were established with Sprague-Dawley female rats by complete cutting of the pudendal nerve. Rat adipose-derived stromal cells were isolated, cultured and successfully transplanted into animal models. Effects of stem cell transplantation were evaluated through urodynamic testing and morphologic changes of the urethra and surrounding tissues before and after transplantation. Main urodynamic outcome measures were measured. Intra-bladder pressure and leak point pressure were measured during filling phase. Morphologic examinations were performed. Transplantation of adipose-derived stem cells significantly strengthened local urethral muscle layers and significantly improved the morphology and function of sphincters. Urodynamic testing showed significant improvements in maximum bladder capacity, abdominal leak point pressure, maximum urethral closure pressure, and functional urethral length. Morphologic changes and significant improvement in urination control were consistent over time. It was concluded that periurethral injection of adipose-derived stromal cells improves function of the striated urethral sphincter, resulting in therapeutic effects on SUI. Reconstruction of the pelvic floor through transplantation of adipose-derived cells is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for SUI.  相似文献

Existing animal models of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are limited because of the low rate of incontinence seen in the animals and to their relatively low durability. In addition, most methods described to measure incontinence are operator-dependent. The aim of this study was to develop a new durable animal model of SUI and establish objective measures to quantify SUI. We subjected female rats to transabdominal urethrolysis. At baseline and at 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 wk after intervention, animals underwent cystometry and evaluation with abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP). Urethral resistance was evaluated by retrograde urethral perfusion pressure (RUPP). Tissues were obtained for histology and immunohistochemistry. Normal female rats had an average ALPP of 19.4 cmH2O and RUPP of 22.6 cmH2O at baseline. More than 93% of the animals had significantly decreased ALPP and RUPP after the procedure. The mean ALPP and RUPP decreased to 9.8 cmH2O and 11.2 cmH2O, respectively, by 1 wk after urethrolysis. These changes were maintained for up to 24 wk. Changes seen in urethral resistance and ALPP appear to be mediated by apoptosis, decreased neuronal mass, and smooth muscle atrophy. These results indicate that transabdominal urethrolysis is a reliable method of achieving durable decreased urethral resistance in a SUI model. RUPP and ALPP are objective and reproducible methods of assessing urethral resistance. Changes in continence and urethral resistance appear to be mediated by denervation and smooth muscle atrophy, which are seen in both elderly incontinent patients and in patients with intrinsic sphincter dysfunction.  相似文献

Background aimsEffective treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is lacking. This study investigated whether transplantation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSC) can treat SUI in a rat model.MethodsRats were induced to develop SUI by postpartum vaginal balloon dilation and bilateral ovariectomy. ADSC were isolated from the peri-ovary fat, examined for stem cell properties, and labeled with thymidine analog BrdU or EdU. Ten rats received urethral injection of saline as a control. Twelve rats received urethral injection of EdU-labeled ADSC and six rats received intravenous injection of BrdU-labeled ADSC through the tail vein. Four weeks later, urinary voiding function was assessed by conscious cystometry. The rats were then killed and their urethras harvested for tracking of ADSC and quantification of elastin, collagen and smooth muscle contents.ResultsCystometric analysis showed that eight out 10 rats in the control group had abnormal voiding, whereas four of 12 (33.3%) and two of six (33.3%) rats in the urethra-ADSC and tail vein-ADSC groups, respectively, had abnormal voiding. Histologic analysis showed that the ADSC-treated groups had significantly higher elastin content than the control group and, within the ADSC-treated groups, rats with normal voiding pattern also had significantly higher elastin content than rats with voiding dysfunction. ADSC-treated normal-voiding rats had significantly higher smooth muscle content than control or ADSC-treated rats with voiding dysfunction.ConclusionsTransplantation of ADSC via urethral or intravenous injection is effective in the treatment and/or prevention of SUI in a pre-clinical setting.  相似文献

The loss of lower urinary tract (LUT) control is a ubiquitous consequence of a complete spinal cord injury, attributed to a lack of regeneration of supraspinal pathways controlling the bladder. Previous work in our lab has utilized a combinatorial therapy of peripheral nerve autografts (PNG), acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), and chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) to treat a complete T8 spinal cord transection in the adult rat, resulting in supraspinal control of bladder function. In the present study we extended these findings by examining the use of the combinatorial PNG+aFGF+ChABC treatment in a T8 transected mouse model, which more closely models human urinary deficits following spinal cord injury. Cystometry analysis and external urethral sphincter electromyograms reveal that treatment with PNG+aFGF+ChABC reduced bladder weight, improved bladder and external urethral sphincter histology, and significantly enhanced LUT function, resulting in more efficient voiding. Treated mice’s injured spinal cord also showed a reduction in collagen scaring, and regeneration of serotonergic and tyrosine hydroxylase-positive axons across the lesion and into the distal spinal cord. Regeneration of serotonin axons correlated with LUT recovery. These results suggest that our mouse model of LUT dysfunction recapitulates the results found in the rat model and may be used to further investigate genetic contributions to regeneration failure.  相似文献

Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by loss of acquired skills during development, autonomic dysfunction, and an increased risk for premature lethality. Clinical experience identified a subset of individuals with RTT that present with urological dysfunction including individuals with frequent urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and urine retention requiring frequent catheterization for bladder voiding. To determine if urologic dysfunction is a feature of RTT, we queried the Rett Syndrome Natural History Study, a repository of clinical data from over 1000 individuals with RTT and found multiple instances of urological dysfunction. We then evaluated urological function in a mouse model of RTT and found an abnormal pattern of micturition. Both male and female mice possessing Mecp2 mutations show a decrease in urine output per micturition event. Furthermore, we identified signs of kidney failure secondary to urethral obstruction. Although genetic strain background significantly affects both survival and penetrance of the urethral obstruction phenotype, survival and penetrance of urethral obstruction do not directly correlate. We have identified an additional phenotype caused by loss of MeCP2, urological dysfunction. Furthermore, we urge caution in the interpretation of survival data as an endpoint in preclinical studies, especially where causes of mortality are poorly characterized.  相似文献

A biomechanical model of the female pelvic support system was developed to explore the contribution of pelvic floor muscle defect to the development of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). From a pool of 135 patients, clinical data of 26 patients with pelvic muscular defect were used in modelling. The model was employed to estimate the parameters that describe the stiffness properties of the vaginal wall and ligament tissues for individual patients. The parameters were then implemented into the model to evaluate for each patient the impact of pelvic muscular defect on the vaginal apex support and the bladder neck support, a factor that relates to the onset of SUI. For the modelling analysis, the compromise of pelvic muscular support was demonstrated to contribute to vaginal apex prolapse and bladder neck prolapse, a condition commonly seen in SUI patients, while simulated conditions of restored muscular support were shown to help re-establish both vaginal apex and bladder neck supports. The findings illustrate the significance of pelvic muscle strength to vaginal support and urinary continence; therefore, the clinical recommendation of pelvic muscle strengthening, such as Kegel exercises, has been shown to be an effective treatment for patients with SUI symptoms.  相似文献

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), as an isolated symptom, is not a life threatening condition. However, the fear of unexpected urine leakage contributes to a significant decline in quality of life parameters for afflicted patients. Compared to other forms of incontinence, SUI cannot be easily treated with pharmacotherapy since it is inherently an anatomic problem. Treatment options include the use of bio-injectable materials to enhance closing pressures, and the placement of slings to bolster fascial support to the urethra. However, histologic findings of degeneration in the incontinent urethral sphincter invite the use of tissues engineering strategies to regenerate structures that aid in promoting continence. In this review, we will assess the role of stem cells in restoring multiple anatomic and physiological aspects of the sphincter. In particular, mesenchymal stem cells and CD34+ cells have shown great promise to differentiate into muscular and vascular components, respectively. Evidence supporting the use of cytokines and growth factors such as hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, vascular endothelial growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor and insulin-like growth factor further enhance the viability and direction of differentiation. Bridging the benefits of stem cells and growth factors involves the use of synthetic scaffolds like poly (1,8-octanediol-co-citrate) (POC) thin films. POC scaffolds are synthetic, elastomeric polymers that serve as substrates for cell growth, and upon degradation, release growth factors to the microenvironment in a controlled, predictable fashion. The combination of cellular, cytokine and scaffold elements aims to address the pathologic deficits to urinary incontinence, with a goal to improve patient symptoms and overall quality of life.  相似文献

Fetal bladder outflow obstruction, predominantly caused by posterior urethral valves, results in significant urinary tract pathology; these lesions are the commonest cause of end-stage renal failure in children, and up to 50% continue to suffer from persistent postnatal bladder dysfunction. To investigate the physiological development of the fetal bladder and the response to urinary flow impairment, we performed partial urethral obstruction and complete urachal ligation in the midgestation fetal sheep for 30 days. By electrical and pharmacological stimulation of bladder strips, we found that muscarinic, purinergic, and nitrergic mechanisms exist in the developing fetal bladder at this gestation. After bladder outflow obstruction, the fetal bladder became hypocontractile, producing less force after nerve-mediated and muscarinic stimulation with suggested denervation, and also exhibited greater atropine resistance. Furthermore, fetal bladder urothelium exerted a negative inotropic effect, partly nitric oxide mediated, that was not present after obstruction. Increased compliance, reduced elasticity, and viscoelasticity were observed in the obstructed fetal bladder, but the proportion of work performed by the elastic component (a physical parameter of extracellular matrix) remained the same. In addition to denervation, hypocontractility may result from a reduction in the elastic modulus that may prevent any extramuscular components from sustaining force produced by detrusor smooth muscle.  相似文献

Current therapies including pharmaceutical intervention and surgery have limited efficacy on stress urinary incontinence (SUI). One type of SUI is due to low intraurethral pressure caused by the disabled contraction of urethral smooth muscle (USM). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the motility of USM remain unknown. Here, we show that USM represents spontaneous tone after stretching in humans and mice. Deletion of TMEM16A in the smooth muscle of mice abolishes spontaneous urethral tone. Furthermore, ClCa currents and [Ca2+]i in TMEM16ASMKO mice were largely impaired. Inhibitors of ryanodine receptor (RyR), TMEM16A encoded calcium-activated chloride channel (ClCa) and L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel (VDCC) fully prevented spontaneous tone accompanied by a significant decrease of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). In summary, RyR–ClCa–VDCC signaling contributes to spontaneous USM tone. This finding may provide a new promising approach for women with stress SUI who reject surgery.  相似文献

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) involves involuntary leakage of urine in response to abdominal pressure caused by activities such as sneezing and coughing. The condition affects millions of women worldwide, causing physical discomfort as well as social distress and even social isolation. Until recently, SUI was approached by clinicians as a purely anatomic problem requiring behavioral or surgical therapy. Over the past several years, extensive basic and clinical research in the field of neurourology has enhanced our understanding of the complex neural circuitry regulating normal function of the lower urinary tract. As a result, novel concepts have emerged regarding possible neurologic dysfunctions that might underlie the development of SUI, as well as potential novel strategies for pharmacologic therapy. This article reviews the normal neurophysiologic control of lower urinary tract function and considers potential pharmacologic approaches to correcting SUI.  相似文献

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents a complex and heterogeneous clinical syndrome, which is increasingly prevalent and associated with poor outcome. In contrast to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), modern heart failure pharmacotherapy did not improve outcome in HFpEF, which was attributed to incomplete understanding of HFpEF pathophysiology, patient heterogeneity and lack of insight into primary pathophysiological processes. HFpEF patients are frequently elderly females and patients demonstrate a high prevalence of non-cardiac comorbidities, which independently adversely affect myocardial structural and functional remodelling. Furthermore, although diastolic left ventricular dysfunction represents the dominant abnormality in HFpEF, numerous ancillary mechanisms are frequently present, which also negatively impact on cardiovascular reserve. Over the past decade, clinical and translational research has improved insight into HFpEF pathophysiology and the importance of comorbidities and patient heterogeneity. Recently, a new paradigm for HFpEF was proposed, which states that comorbidities drive myocardial dysfunction and remodelling in HFpEF through coronary microvascular inflammation. Regarding the conceptual framework of HFpEF treatment, emphasis may need to shift from a ‘one fits all’ strategy to an individualised approach based on phenotypic patient characterisation and diagnostic and pathophysiological stratification of myocardial disease processes. This review will describe these novel insights from a pathophysiological standpoint.  相似文献

The micturition profile in conscious animals and the urethrovesical coordination in anesthetized conditions were investigated in 6- and 24-mo-old male Sprague-Dawley rats. The in vitro pharmacological responses to KCl, electrical field stimulation (EFS), carbachol, phenylephrine, and isoprenaline were determined in the isolated bladder body, the bladder neck, and urethra. A morphometric and immunohistological study has been included. During conscious cystomanometry, 63% of the aging rats but only 25% of the adult rats showed spontaneous contractions during the bladder-filling phase. In conscious aging rats, basal pressure, threshold pressure, and micturition pressure were also significantly increased. In anesthetized aging rats, a decrease in resting urethral pressure at micturition threshold and the occurrence of a significant delay in urethral relaxation during micturition were associated with an increased residual volume. In all isolated tissues, contractile response to KCl was not modified with aging, whereas age-related decreases in maximal responses to carbachol in the bladder body and to phenylephrine and carbachol in the urethra were observed. In the bladder neck only, we found a significant decrease in the amplitude of neurogenic contractions associated with fibrosis but without decrease in nerve density. These experiments show significant modifications in the voiding pattern of aging rats associated with urethral dysfunction and with regionally specific pharmacological and structural changes of the urinary tract. We propose that aging in rats is characterized by an impairment of the urethrovesical coordination, leading to bladder dysfunctions similar to those induced by bladder outlet obstruction.  相似文献

Approximately one-third of patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) also suffer from urgency incontinence, which is one of the major symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. Pudendal nerve injury has been recognized as a possible cause for both SUI and OAB. Therefore, we investigated the effects of pudendal nerve ligation (PNL) on bladder function and urinary continence in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Conscious cystometry with or without capsaicin pretreatment (125 mg/kg sc), leak point pressures (LPPs), contractile responses of bladder muscle strips to carbachol or phenylephrine, and levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) protein and mRNA in the bladder were compared in sham and PNL rats 4 wk after the injury. Urinary frequency detected by a reduction in intercontraction intervals and voided volume was observed in PNL rats compared with sham rats, but it was not seen in PNL rats with capsaicin pretreatment that desensitizes C-fiber-afferent pathways. LPPs in PNL rats were significantly decreased compared with sham rats. The contractile responses of detrusor muscle strips to phenylephrine, but not to carbachol, were significantly increased in PNL rats. The levels of NGF protein and mRNA in the bladder of PNL rats were significantly increased compared with sham rats. These results suggest that pudendal nerve neuropathy induced by PNL may be one of the potential risk factors for OAB, as well as SUI. Somato-visceral cross sensitization between somatic (pudendal) and visceral (bladder) sensory pathways that increases NGF expression and alpha(1)-adrenoceptor-mediated contractility in the bladder may be involved in this pathophysiological mechanism.  相似文献

Currently, there are no approved medications for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in the United States. The effectiveness of duloxetine in the treatment of SUI is linked to its inhibition of presynaptic neuronal reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the central nervous system, resulting in elevated levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the synaptic cleft. In animal studies, this agent leads to an increase in nerve stimulation to the urethral striated sphincter muscle. A similar mechanism in women is believed to result in stronger urethral contractions, with improved sphincter tone during urine storage and physical stress. In 3 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials, patients receiving duloxetine had a statistically significant and clinically relevant reduction in the number of incontinence episodes and a corresponding improvement in quality of life. If this use of duloxetine is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, as it has been by the European regulatory agencies, it will be the first drug indicated for the treatment of SUI. This pharmacologic therapy is an additional option for women and is likely to become an integral component of patient management.  相似文献

A significant reduction in immunogenicity has been observed in some frozen-thawed tissues after cryopreservation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of programmed cryopreservation on immunogenicity of rabbit bladder mucosa and on the extent of immunological rejection caused by the allograft. This study would provide theoretical support for the application of allogenic frozen-thawed bladder mucosa in the treatment of urethral stricture. Forty-two adult male New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. The immunogenicity was detected by mixed lymphocyte reaction using the allograft of bladder mucosa (fresh and frozen-thawed) and spleen lymphocytes. Twelve urethral stricture models were established in New Zealand rabbits for substitution urethroplasty using the allograft of bladder mucosa, which were divided into fresh and frozen-thawed group. Two weeks after operation, lymphocyte proliferation was detected in both blood and spleen of recipient rabbits. At the same time, immunohistochemical staining of urethral allograft was performed and the expression of CD3, CD4 and CD8 were observed. The mRNA of bladder mucosa (fresh and frozen-thawed) was extracted and the expressions of RLA-I, RLA-II and RLA-III gene were detected by real-time PCR. By mixed lymphocyte reaction, we found that allogenic lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by frozen-thawed bladder epithelial cells was significantly weaker than that of the fresh cells. The blood and spleen lymphocytes from fresh bladder mucosa group showed significantly higher proliferation rate than frozen-thawed group. Compared with the fresh group, the expression of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells infiltrated in the operation locus of bladder mucosa urethroplasty was significantly decreased in the frozen-thawed group. However, the expressions of RLA genes did not change significantly after the freeze-thaw procedure. This study demonstrates for the first time that a programmed freeze-thaw procedure of rabbit bladder mucosa could reduce its immunogenicity in allogenic bladder mucosa urethroplasty and thus restrict the extent of immunological rejection, therefore, provides theoretical support for the application of frozen-thawed bladder mucosa in the treatment of urethral stricture.  相似文献

Lower urinary tract diseases are emotionally and financially burdensome to the individual and society. Current treatments are ineffective or symptomatic. Conversely, stem cells (SCs) are regenerative and may offer long-term solutions. Among the different types of SCs, bone marrow SCs (BMSCs) and skeletal muscle-derived SCs (SkMSCs) have received the most attention in pre-clinical and clinical trial studies concerning the lower urinary tract. In particular, clinical trials with SkMSCs for stress urinary incontinence have demonstrated impressive efficacy. However, both SkMSCs and BMSCs are difficult to obtain in quantity and therefore neither is optimal for the eventual implementation of SC therapy. On the other hand, adipose tissue-derived SCs (ADSCs) can be easily and abundantly obtained from "discarded" adipose tissue. Moreover, in several head-on comparison studies, ADSCs have demonstrated equal or superior therapeutic potential compared to BMSCs. Therefore, across several different medical disciplines, including urology, ADSC research is gaining wide attention. For the regeneration of bladder tissues, possible differentiation of ADSCs into bladder smooth muscle and epithelial cells has been demonstrated. For the treatment of bladder diseases, specifically hyperlipidemia and associated overactive bladder, ADSCs have also demonstrated efficacy. For the treatment of urethral sphincter dysfunction associated with birth trauma and hormonal deficiency, ADSC therapy was also beneficial. Finally, ADSCs were able to restore erectile function in various types of erectile dysfunction (ED), including those associated with diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and nerve injuries. Thus, ADSCs have demonstrated remarkable therapeutic potentials for the lower urinary tract.  相似文献
