Stimulation of sensory nerves can lead to
release of peptides such as substance P (SP) and consequently to
neurogenic inflammation. We studied the role of bacterial
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in regulating SP-induced inflammation.
Experimental cystitis was induced in female mice by intravesical
instillation of SP, LPS, or fluorescein-labeled LPS. Uptake of
fluorescein-labeled LPS was determined by confocal analysis, and
bladder inflammation was determined by morphological analysis. SP was
infused into the bladders of some mice 24 h after exposure to LPS.
In vitro studies determined the capacity of LPS and SP to induce
histamine and cytokine release by the bladder. LPS was taken up by
urothelial cells and distributed systemically. Twenty-four hours after
instillation of LPS or SP, bladder inflammation was characterized by
edema and leukocytic infiltration of the bladder wall. LPS pretreatment
enhanced neutrophil infiltration induced by SP, increased in vitro
release of histamine, tumor necrosis factor-
, and interferon-
,
and significantly reduced transforming growth factor-
1 release.
These findings suggest that LPS amplifies neurogenic inflammation,
thereby playing a role in the pathogenesis of neurogenic cystitis.
