Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of cyclosporin A (CsA) on hyaluronidase induced interstitial cystitis/bladder pain sydrome (IC/BPS) in rats. Methods Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group (15 rats, intravesical normal saline), model group(15 rats, intravesical hyaluronidase) and CsA-treated group (15 rats, intravesical hyaluronidase+CsA). Voiding patterms were investigated by cystometrography. The changes of pain in urogenital area were detected by Von-Frey Hairs. The NO level of bladder tissue were measured by using nitric acid deoxidize enzyme method. The mRNA 1evels of iNOS, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17 were analyzed with real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The IL-6, IL-10 and IL-17 level were measured by ELISA. Results Compared with control, the mRNA level of iNOS, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17 increased significantly (all P values<0.001). The CsA-treated group showed decreased mRNA levels of iNOS, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17 (all P values<0.05). In model group, the NO level was (9.73±2.62)μmol/g; the IL-6 level was (125.4±11.25) μg/g;the IL-10 level was(64.05±6.26)μg/g;the IL-17 level was(90.61±10.49)μg/g. The intercontraction intervals was(148.23±40.75)s; The bladder capacity was 0.41±0.06 m1. In control group, the NO level was 1.31±0.55 μmol/g; the IL-6 level was 55.18±5.07 μg/g. The IL-10 level was(32.12±3.82)μg/g; the IL-17 level was(44.45±4.92)μg/g. The intercontraction intervals was 441.90±34.96 s; The bladder capacity was 1.27±0.10 m1. Compared with control, the rats of model group showed high NO, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-17 level, decreased intercontraction intervals and bladder capacity, high pain score (all P<0.05). After administration of CsA, the NO, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-17 level of bladder reduced (P<0.001), which was 3.97±1.71 μmol/g, 62.29±6.68 μg/g, 33.51±5.77 μg/g and 51.88±6.67 μg/g, respectively. Both intercontraction intervals and bladder capacity increased significantly (both P<0.05). And they were 422.06±42.22 s and 1.14±0.15 ml, respectively. The pain score also decreased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion In the IC/BPS rat model induced by hyaluronidase, intravesical CsA can significantly ameliorate the frequent urination and bladder pain, which may be related to the down-regulation of iNOS, NO, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-17.
