Project description:Interstitial cystitis (IC) and bladder pain syndrome are terms used to describe a heterogenous chronic pelvic and bladder pain disorder of unknown etiology. The goal of this pilot study was to determine if gene expression profiling of bladder biopsy tissue from patients experiencing symptoms could be used to separate the patients based on some clinical parameter. Gene expression profiles in bladder biopsy tissue from patients with: (1) low bladder capacity (defined here as <400 ml upon hydordistension), (2) normal capacity (M-bM-^IM-%400 ml), and (3) controls were compared. Gene expression profiles from low bladder capacity tissues differed significantly from normal capacity and control tissue, suggesting gene expression profiling may be a useful tool for better understanding IC disease pathophysiology.

Project description:Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic and debilitating pain disorder of the bladder and urinary tract with poorly understood etiology. A definitive diagnosis of IC/BPS can be challenging because many symptoms of IC/BPS are shared with other urological disorders. An analysis of urine presents an attractive and non-invasive resource for monitoring and diagnosing IC/BPS. Here, a non-targeted LC-MS and LC-MS/MS-based peptidomics analysis of urine samples collected from IC/BPS patients were compared to urine samples from asymptomatic controls.

Project description:Interstitial cystitis (IC)/bladder pain syndrome (BPS) is a clinical condition that manifests as a sensory hypersensitivity of unknown cause and is characterized by urinary frequency, bladder discomfort, and pelvic pain. In the present volatolomic study, we have analyzed the VOCs unique to urine specimens obtained from interstitial cystitis patients, in compassion to healthy controls.This is the novel finding from comprehensive and unbiased metabolomics analysis that urinary menthol is decreased in urine specimens from IC patients, and that the reduced menthol level in IC is potentially linked to the chronic inflammation, which is often observed in IC patients

Project description:Hunner-type interstitial cystitis (HIC) is a rare, enigmatic inflammatory disease of the urinary bladder with no curative treatments. In this study, we aimed to characterize the unique cellular and immunological factors specifically involved in HIC by comparing with cystitis induced by Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette–Guérin, which presents similar clinicopathological features to HIC. Here, we show that T helper 1/17 polarized immune responses accompanied by prominent overexpression of interferon (IFN)-γ, enhanced cGAS-STING cytosolic DNA sensing pathway, and increased plasma cell infiltration are the characteristic inflammatory features in HIC bladder. Further, we developed a novel mouse anti-IFN-γ DNA aptamer and observed that intravesical instillation of the aptamer significantly ameliorated bladder inflammation, pelvic pain and voiding dysfunction in a recently developed novel murine HIC mouse model with little migration into the blood. Our study provides the plausible basis for clinical translation of the anti-IFN-γ DNA aptamer in the treatment of human HIC.

Project description:Objectives: Much of the information to date in terms of subtypes and function of bladder urothelial cells were derived from anatomical location or by the expression of a small number of marker genes. To have a comprehensive map of the cellular anatomy of bladder urothelial cells, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing to thoroughly characterize mouse bladder urothelium. Materials and methods: A total of 18,917 single cells from mouse bladder urothelium was analyzed by unbiased single-cell RNA sequencing. The expression of the novel cell marker was confirmed by immunofluorescence using urinary tract infections models. Results: Unsupervised clustering analysis identified 8 transcriptionally distinct cell subpopulations from mouse bladder urothelial cells. We discovered a novel type of bladder urothelial cells marked by Plxna4 that may be involved with host response and wound healing. We also found a group of basal-like cells labeled by ASPM that could be the progenitor cells of adult bladder urothelium. ASPM+ urothelial cells are significantly increased after injury by UPEC. In addition, specific transcription factors were found to be associated with urothelial cell differentiation. At the last, a number of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome-regulating genes were found differentially expressed among different urothelial cell subpopulations. Conclusions: Our study provides a comprehensive characterization of bladder urothelial cells, which is fundamental to understanding the biology of bladder urothelium and associated bladder disease.

Project description:Acute cystitis is rapidly becoming a therapeutic enigma, as antibiotic resistance is reducing the options to a minimum. Fortunately, new insights are now making it possible to explore immune response modifiers as alternatives to antibiotics. In patients with acute cystitis, infection triggers a rapid and potent inflammatory response in the bladder mucosa and clinical symptoms include pain, urgency and frequency of urination. The molecular basis of these symptoms is not well understood, but bacterial interactions with the bladder epithelium have been shown to create inflammatory cascades. This study examined how innate immune response genes influence the outcome of bladder infection and the pathogenesis of acute cystitis with a particular focus on IL-1β. C57BL/6 mice were intravesically infected with relevant uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain, CFT073. Acute cystitis in infected bladders was defined by macroscopic inspection of edema, hyperemia and purulent discharge followed by histology and immunohistochemistry, after 24 hours and seven days. Genetic determinants of transient bladder inflammation versus severe disease were subsequently identified using C57BL/6 mice with specific inflammasome gene deletions (Il1b-/-, Casp1-/-, Asc-/- and Nlrp3-/-). Using genome-wide transcriptomic analysis to characterize genes regulated by infection in the bladders of these mice, we identified acute cystitis as an IL-1β-driven, hyper-inflammatory disease. Consistent with such a role, Il1b-/- mice were protected from infection and pathology. In contrast Asc-/- and Nlrp3-/- mice developed progressive IL-1β-driven bladder inflammation and severe pathology, caused by a new, non-canonical IL-1β processing mechanism, involving the metalloproteinase MMP-7. Using IL-1β and MMP-7 as targets for immunotherapy, we succeeded in protecting susceptible Asc-/- mice against acute cystitis, confirming the potential of immunotherapy for this indication. The results reproduce important aspects of human cystitis in the murine urinary tract infection (UTI) model and provide a comprehensive molecular framework for the pathogenesis and immunotherapy of acute cystitis, one of the most common bacterial infections in man.
