Effects of stretch load on quantity and c-kit expression of rat bladder interstitial cells of Cajal
Objective To investigate the effects of stretch load on the quantity of rat bladder interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) and ckit expression in the cells. Methods Rat models of detrusor instability with partial outflow obstruction were established. The quantity of ICCs and c-kit expression in ICCs from stable
unstable and normal detrusor were studied with light microscopy and Western blotting. Results The quantity of ICCs and expression of c-kit in the stable and unstable detrusors were higher than that in normal control group (P0.01)
and those of the unstable detrusor were significant higher than those of the stable one (P0.01). Conclusion Stretch load can regulate the function of ICCs
probably through increment of the quantity of ICCs and up-regulation of c-kit expression in the cells.
