Gene expression profile of bladder tissue of patients with ulcerative interstitial cystitis

Abstract: Background: Interstitial cystitis (IC), a chronic bladder disease with an increasing incidence, is diagnosed using subjective symptoms in combination with cystoscopic and histological evidence. By cystoscopic examination, IC can be classified into an ulcerative and a non-ulcerative subtype. To better understand this debilitating disease on a molecular level, a comparative gene expression profile of bladder biopsies from patients with ulcerative IC and control patients has been performed.

“…7 Biopsies from visibly normal bladder areas in patients with HL have shown inflammation on conventional histology 7 and inflammatory gene expression on microarray analysis. 24,25 Thus, some patients without HL may have ongoing bladder inflammation that responds to CyA. Another explanation is that CyA has several effects that may benefit IC/BPS in addition to its anti-inflammatory properties.…”

“…Repeat attempts to obtain valid biopsy samples by invasive surgery using general anesthesia are not feasible, costeffective or necessary since extrapolation of the mast cell count to 1 mm 2 yielded similar results. With respect to differentiating BPS/IC with or without Hunner lesions from OAB we propose lymphocyte infiltration 15,16 and urothelium integrity 16 as superior histopathological criteria.…”

“…Recently, Gamper et al . [14] reported a quantitative transcriptomic analysis of bladder biopsies containing mucosa, lamina propria and detrusor muscle cells (at varying relative ratios and biopsy depth) from five patients with ulcerative IC and six healthy individuals as controls using Affymetrix GeneChip expression arrays (Affymetrix Corp., Santa Clara, CA, USA), with over 54 000 probe sets on the chip [14]. The study by Gamper et al .…”

“…The study by Gamper et al . [14] is the largest published in vivo evaluation of tissues from human IC subjects without intervening cell culture steps. In an attempt to identify the potential proteins and genes regulated by APF in vivo , and to possibly expand the APF-regulated network identified by SILAC, we performed an integration analysis of our own SILAC data and the microarray data of Gamper et al .…”
