Outline of Final Research Achievements

Bladder hypertrophy occurs as a compensatory response to infravesical obstruction, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, this condition may also be an indication of ongoing pathogenic processes and entrance into a decompensatory stage. In addition, ischemia is also known to induce in men with bladder outlet obstruction as a result of BPH. This study has shown that hypoxia induces the expression of HIF-1 mRNA and encourages angiogenesis in bladder tissue. In addition, continuous hypoxia induces the expression of p53 mRNA and suppresses the expression of HIF-1 mRNA in bladder tissue. Taken together, our study suggests that p53 breaks down compensatory mechanism for hypoxia in the bladder, and then result in detrusor contractile dysfunction.
