| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study was conducted to elucidate the role of mast cells in the pathophysiology of chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) including interstitial cystitis (IC), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), etc. We investigated the possible roles of mast cells with IC model, IBS model and combination model using genetically mast cell-deficient WBB6F1/J-KitW/KitW-v (W/Wv) and congenic normal WBB6F1/J-Kit+/Kit+ (+/+).The rate of change in VV was significantly lower in the W/Wv than +/+, especially IC model group. Also, with regard to the change of bladder histology the inflammatory changes were less extensive in W/Wv than +/+. The presence of mast cells is the aggravating factor of inflammation. Further detailed study of the role of mast cells is needed to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanism underlying IC/CPPS.
