Nerve-sparing Mid-urethral Obstruction (NeMO) in Female Small Rodents

Traditional modeling of partial bladder outlet obstruction in rodents is fraught with animal mortality. A denervation injury from dissection around the proximal urethra and bladder neck is also of major concern. We developed and evaluated a safe and reliable mid-urethral obstruction model, avoiding the shortcomings of the traditional...

A Murine Model of Irreversible and Reversible Unilateral Ureteric Obstruction

32.1K
The murine model of irreversible unilateral ureteric obstruction (UUO) is presented together with the model of reversible UUO in which the ureteric obstruction is relieved by anastomosis of the severed ureter into the bladder. These models enable the study of renal inflammation and scarring as well as tissue...

Profiling of Estrogen-regulated MicroRNAs in Breast Cancer Cells

20.7K
Molecular signaling through both estrogen and microRNAs are critical in breast cancer development and growth. Estrogen activates the estrogen receptors, which are transcription factors. Many transcription factors can regulate the expression of microRNAs, and estrogen-regulated microRNAs can be profiled using different large-scale...

This video describes a cell-based reporter assay to determine the estrogenic activity of plant-derived compounds. A compound with estrogen-like activity mimics its binding to estrogen receptors and drives downstream reporter enzyme gene transcription. The reporter enzyme generates bioluminescence in a reaction, indicating the estrogenic activity of the...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Endocrinology
  • Aging Research

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and chronic prostatic inflammation are linked to male voiding dysfunction.
  • This dysfunction can progress to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), particularly in aging males.
  • A decreased serum androgen to estrogen ratio is implicated in the pathogenesis of BOO.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the hormonal causes of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).
  • To analyze the clinical relevance of hormonal factors in BOO.
  • To explore estrogen-modulated animal models for studying BOO.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of hormonal influences on benign prostatic hyperplasia and voiding dysfunction.
  • Analysis of clinical data linking aging, hormonal changes, and bladder outlet obstruction.
  • Evaluation of existing animal models for their relevance to estrogen-modulated BOO.

Main Results:

  • Evidence supports a strong association between BPH, inflammation, and the development of voiding dysfunction leading to BOO.
  • The aging process and altered estrogen levels are key factors in BOO development.
  • Estrogen modulation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of BOO.

Conclusions:

  • Direct inhibition of estrogen action presents a potential pharmaceutical strategy for treating bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).
  • Understanding the hormonal pathways, particularly estrogen's role, is crucial for developing effective BOO treatments.
