Abstract

To identify the urethral migration of muscle derived stem cells (MDSCs) after intravenous (IV) injection in rats that underwent vaginal distension (VD) and to analyze the effects of MDSC in the urethra of rats after trauma in regards to: (1) mRNA expression of collagens, Vegf, Ngf, Ki67, Myh11, and Myh2; (2) expression of smooth and striated muscle proteins. MDSCs expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) were injected into the tail vein of rats 3 days after VD. The location of GFP cells was verified at 2 h and at 7 days following IV injection. Urethras of three groups were analyzed: Control, Trauma 7D, and MDSC 7D. Real-time RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry were performed. MDSCs were identified only after 2 h of the procedure in the urethra. Myh11 gene was overexpressed in the Trauma group in relation to Control. Ki67 gene expression was increased in the MDSC group relative to Trauma and Control. Col1a1 and Col3a1 genes expression were increased in the MDSC group relative to Control. Ngf mRNA level was decreased in the MDSC group in relation to Trauma. Protein expression of Mhy11, Myh2, and Desmin were increased in the MDSC group in relation to Trauma and decreased in the Trauma in relation to Control. MDSCs migrated early to...Continue Reading
