Histologically, radiation .07therapy causes bladder inflammation, fibrosis and vascular damage. We have previously reported that fibrotic factors (e.g. MMPs and TIMPs) are increased in patients with RC, indicating that bladder remodeling may be occurring. We sought to determine how irradiation and subsequent remodeling of the urinary bladder impacted bladder mechanics in a well-characterized preclinical model of RC. METHODS: Urinary bladders of 8-week-old, C57BL/6 female mice were subjected to irradiation treatment (3 doses of 20 Gy), along with untreated controls. Following treatment, micturition data and body weight were recorded weekly. At 11 weeks post-treatment, the mice were euthanized and their bladders isolated. Some bladders were sectioned and stained with Masson’s trichrome for measurement of collagen area fraction. The extracellular matrices of the remaining bladders were isolated and subjected to a circumferential stress-stretch test. RESULTS: Irradiation of the mice was well-tolerated. Micturition data showed no significant difference between the irradiated and control groups at this early timepoint. However, stress-stretch testing of the isolated extracellular matrix showed a significant decrease in bladder distensibility (Figure 1). Fibrosis of the bladder was indicated by a significant increase in collagen. CONCLUSIONS: Bladder remodeling occurred early after irradiation and negatively affected the mechanical behavior of the bladder through increased fibrosis and decreased distensibility. This occurred prior to significant lower urinary tract symptoms changes or hematuria, both of which are observed in this model. A decrease in bladder distensibility can cause symptoms that interfere with cancer recovery, and also pose a threat to proper kidney function, outlining the importance of studying RC from a mechanical perspective.
