| Research Abstract |
We examined what the mucosa-derived substance that can act to enhance spontaneous contractions (SCs) of the urinary bladder is in the rat with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).
The SCs in bladder strips from BOO rats were associated with the amount of prostaglandin (PG) E2 released from the mucosa in vitro: The amount of PGE2 released from the mucosa was increased in BOO rats in vivo: The non-voiding contraction (NVC) that was regarded as a surrogate of SCs in the bladder wall in vivo was associated with mucosa-derived PGE2. The mucosa-derived substance to enhance SCs may be PGE2. We also found out that the presence of the intact nervous system innervating lower urinary tract and the up-regulation of the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the bladder wall were associated with the increased amount of PGE2 released from the mucosa induced by BOO.
