AimsMethodsTo produce an animal model of peripheral neurogenic detrusor underactivity (DU) and to evaluate the effect of TRPV4 receptor activation in this DU model. In female Sprague-Dawley rats, bilateral pelvic nerve crush (PNC) was performed by using sharp forceps. After 10 days, awake cystometrograms (CMG) were recorded in sham and PNC rats. A TRPV4 agonist (GSK 1016790A) with or without a TRPV4 antagonist (RN1734) were administered intravesically and CMG parameters were compared before and after drug administration in each group. The TRPV4 transcript level in the bladder mucosa and histological changes were also evaluated. ResultsConclusionsIn CMG, PNC rats showed significant increases in intercontraction intervals (ICI), number of non-voiding contractions (NVCs), baseline pressure, threshold pressure, bladder capacity, voided volumes, and post-void residual (PVR) compared to sham rats. Contraction amplitude and voiding efficiency were significantly decreased in PNC rats. In PNC rats, intravesical application of GSK1016790A (1.5M) significantly decreased ICI, bladder capacity, voided volume, and PVR without increasing NVCs, and these effects were blocked by RN1734 (5.0M). In contrast, 1.5M GSK1016790A had no significant effects on CMG parameters in normal rats. TRPV4 expression within the bladder mucosa of PNC rats was increased in association with urothelial thickening. Rats with bilateral PNC showed characteristics of DU, and this model seems appropriate for further evaluation of peripheral neurogenic mechanisms of DU. Also, TRPV4 receptors, the activation of which reduced bladder capacity and PVR, could be a target for DU treatment.
