Urinary bladder hypertrophy and hyperplasia is a common feature of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). The urinary bladder is known to synthesize endothelin-1 (ET-1). ET-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide with mitogenic properties. Using an animal model of partial BOO we investigated the potential role of ET-1 and its receptor subtypes [endothelin-A and -B (ET(A) and ET(B))] in bladder vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) proliferation. In the presence of 3-week-old BOO serum, ET(A) and ET(B) antagonists significantly (p = 0.008) inhibited detrusor and bladder neck SMC proliferation. Cell counts were significantly reduced from the detrusor (p = 0.03, p = 0.01 with ET(A) and ET(B) antagonists, respectively) and bladder neck (p = 0.01 for both ET(A) and ET(B) antagonists). These results suggest that ET-1 antagonists may prevent SMC hyperplasia associated with partial BOO.

D001743 Urinary Bladder A musculomembranous sac along the URINARY TRACT. URINE flows from the KIDNEYS into the bladder via the ureters (URETER), and is held there until URINATION.

D001748 Urinary Bladder Neck Obstruction Blocked urine flow through the bladder neck, the narrow internal urethral opening at the base of the URINARY BLADDER. Narrowing or strictures of the URETHRA can be congenital or acquired. It is often observed in males with enlarged PROSTATE glands. Bladder Neck Obstruction,Bladder Outlet Obstruction
D001973 Bromodeoxyuridine A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.
