ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) is one of the most common and bothersome complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). The purpose of the present study is to investigate DBD in KK-Ay mice, and to identify the expression of relative genes.METHOD:
Totally twenty-seven KK-Ay mice and thirty C57BL/6 J mice, respectively, were randomly divided into 12-, 18-, and 25-week old groups. The weight, water intake, voided volume, the frequency of micturition, fasting blood glucose (FBG), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were measured at varying time points. Maximum bladder volume (MBC), residual volume (RV), bladder compliance (BC), micturition efficiency (VE) and maximum micturition pressure (MVP) were assessed by urodynamic test, and contractile responses to α, ß-methylene ATP, KCl, electrical-field stimulation, carbachol were performed by detrusor smooth muscle strips contractility test. The bladders were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome to determine bladder wall thickness. Additionally, the mRNA expression of Myosin Va, SLC17A9, P2X1, M3 and M2 were then verified by qRT-PCR.RESULT:
The weight, water intake, voided volumes, micturition frequency, FBG, the blood glucose AUC0-2h of KK-Ay mice were significantly increased at three time points. MBC, RV and BC were significantly increased; VE was significantly lower at the age of 18 and 25 weeks in KK-Ay mice; MVP was significantly increased at the age of 25 weeks in KK-Ay mice. In DSM strips contractility test, the amplitude of the spontaneous activity in KK-Ay mice significant increased at 12 weeks and 18 weeks, while both the amplitude and frequency were significantly decreased at the age of 25 weeks. The level of Myosin Va, SLC17A9 and M3 receptor significantly decreased in KK-Ay mice at 12 weeks, while Myosin Va markedly increased at 18 weeks; P2X1 and M2 receptors of KK-Ay mice was significantly increased at all three time points.CONCLUSION:
Taken together, this study demonstrates that KK-Ay mice can be a proper model to investigate DBD whose transformation from compensatory state to decompensated state may ascribe to the time-dependent alternations of Myosin Va, SLC17A9, P2X1, M3 and M2 expression levels.Key words
