Abstract

We examined the functional role of endogenous IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1) in the recovery phase of stress urinary incontinence induced by simulated childbirth trauma using an IGF-1 receptor inhibitor. Simulated birth trauma was induced by vaginal distension in female Sprague Dawley® rats. The IGF-1 receptor antagonist JB-1 (10 and 100 μg/kg per day) or vehicle was continuously delivered from 1 day before vaginal distension for 7 days using subcutaneous osmotic pumps. Seven, 14 and 21 days after vaginal distension the effect of JB-1 treatment was examined by functional analyses, including leak point and urethral baseline pressure, and urethral responses during passive increments in intravesical pressure, as well as molecular analyses in urethral tissues, including phosphorylation of Akt, apoptotic changes and peripheral nerve density using Western blot and immunohistochemistry. On functional analyses vehicle treated rats with vaginal distension had significantly decreased leak point and urethral baseline pressure, and urethral responses at 7 days, which recovered to the normal level 14 and 21 days after vaginal distension. In the JB-1 treated vaginal distension group leak point and urethral baseline pressure, and urethr...Continue Reading
