| Research Abstract |
It has been generally accepted that in smooth muscle contraction, MLCK system but not troponin system is dominant. However, we found cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in urinary bladder smooth muscle.
The following present study was thus designed in order to clarify troponin subunits in smooth muscle and to explore the possibility for clinical treatment using detrusor smooth muscle. Troponin is composed of 3 subunits (T, I, and C), and categorized into 3 groups (cardiac, slow skeletal muscle, fast skeletal muscle). We examined all troponin subunits and clarified the expression of not only all types of TnT but also slow skeletal muscle type of troponin I in human detrusor. Further, dominant expression of their genes were recognized compared to other smooth muscle organs. The smooth muscle specific protein, calponin and caldesmon were also expressed at protein level suggesting novel contraction system combined with troponin subunits and their protein.
