ABSTRACT
AIM:
We investigated the effects of Ba-Wei-Die-Huang-Wan (BWDHW) on ketamine-induced cystitis (KIC) in a rat model.METHODS:
Female Sprague-Dawley rats were distributed into three groups control (saline), ketamine (25 mg/kg/day for 28 days), or ketamine (25 mg/kg/day for 28 days) plus BWDHW (90 mg/kg/day, started from day 14). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), metabolic cage study, and cystometry were evaluated. Bladder histology was evaluated. Western blots of the bladder proteins were carried out.RESULTS:
Compared with controls, ketamine-treated rats showed stronger fMRI intensity in the periaqueductal gray area and bladder overactivity in the bladder functional study, but the ketamine/BWDHW-treated rats did not. Furthermore, ketamine breached the uroplakin III membrane at the apical surface of the urothelium, enhanced substance P spread over the urothelium, induced suburothelial hemorrhage and monocyte/macrophage infiltration, and caused interstitial fibrosis deposition. By contrast, the BWDHW-treated rats exhibited less substance P spread, lower suburothelial monocyte/macrophage infiltration, and lower interstitial fibrosis deposition. The ketamine group showed significant overexpression of neuroreceptors in the bladder mucosa (the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 and M2 - and M3 -muscarinic receptors) and detrusor (M2 - and M3 -muscarinic receptors); inflammatory mediators in the detrusor (interleukin-1ß [IL-1ß], IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, nuclear factor-κB, cyclooxygenase-2, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1); and fibrogenesis molecules in the detrusor (transforming growth factor-ß1, collagen I, collagen III, and fibronectin). However, no significant changes were noted between the ketamine/BWDHW and control groups.CONCLUSION:
BWDHW could exert therapeutic effects by inhibiting the upregulation of neuroreceptors, modulating inflammatory mediators, suppressing fibrogenesis, and ameliorating bladder overactivity in rats with KIC.Palavras-chave
