Acrolein is a metabolite of cyclophosphamide (CYP), an alkylating agent used for a wide range of benign and malignant diseases. CYP treatments are known to trigger hemorrhagic cystitis in patients and animals. Significant effort has been made to prevent CYP/acrolein-induced cystitis, while still maintaining its therapeutic benefits. As a result, supplementary therapeutic options to mediate the protective role against CYP/acrolein and lower doses of CYP are currently given to targeted patients, as compared to past treatments. There is still a need to further study the effects of the repeated low-dose CYP/acrolein on the pathophysiology of the urinary bladder. In our study, a one-time treatment of acrolein and repeated low-dose acrolein triggered the thickening of the smooth muscle and lamina propria in the urinary bladder of C57BL/6J mice, respectively. The first dose of acrolein did not trigger voiding dysfunction, but the second dose triggered high-volume low-frequency voiding. Interestingly, our new scoring criteria and concurrent behavioral assessment revealed that mice with repeated low-dose acrolein had a wider opening of eyes in response to mechanical stimuli. Our study suggests that clinical symptoms among patients undergoing prolonged low-dose CYP may differ from previously reported symptoms of CYP-induced hemorrhagic cystitis. |
