Abstract
Relevance. Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is a debilitating condition of pain and discomfort in the bladder. Due to the limited number of published studies in this area, there is a need for further research.
Objective: to evaluate the level of nerve growth factor and its relationship with various types of leukocytes and mast cells of the bladder tissue in animals with experimental models of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome.
Material and methods. IC/PBS modeling was performed on 38 female rabbits. The IC/PBS modeling was created by introducing HCl into the bladder (group 1), urine into the wall of the bladder (group 2), and physiological saline (group 3). Nerve growth factor (NGF) was determined by the ELISA method, and white blood cells along with mast cells in tissues were determined by histological processing.
Results. A statistically significant high level of NGF in blood and urine was observed on the 1st day after IC/PBS initiation in groups 1–3 and in group 2 respectively. Two weeks after the initiation of IC/PBS in animals of group 1 a decrease in the level of FRN in the blood by 29.3% and its increase in urine by 14.3% was observed; in group 2 – an increase by 65.5% (p < 0.01) in blood and by 52.7% (p < 0.01) in urine was observed and in group 3 – a decrease by 30.8% (p < 0.05) in blood and by 30.5% (p < 0.05) in urine was observed. The greatest number of leukocytes was determined in the tissue of the bladder in animals of the 1st group. Mast cell infiltration was observed in groups 1 and 2. Correlation between the NGF in blood and urine and between NGF and the number of leukocytes and mast cells was revealed.
Findings. In IC/PBS, the level of NGF in the blood and urine is increased. Indicators of nerve growth factor in blood and urine are correlated with multidirectional connections. High mast cell infiltration occurs when damage to the integrity of the bladder by urinary toxicity. Nerve growth factor correlates with leukocyte and mast cell infiltration in the bladder tissue.
Conclusion. During IC/PBS, the level of NGF in the blood and urine is increased. Levels of nerve growth factor in blood and urine are correlated with multidirectional connections. High mast cell infiltration occurs as a response to the damage of the bladder wall integrity caused by urinary toxicity. The level of nerve growth factor correlates with the bladder tissue intensity of infiltration with leukocytes and mast cells.
