STUDY DESIGN: Animal proof of principle study.
OBJECTIVES: Bladder and bowel dysfunction are common after spinal cord injury (SCI) and in the elderly. Neurokinin 2 receptor agonists are known to produce on-demand urination and defecation in adult SCI rats. This study compared the ability of a neurokinin 2 receptor (NK2R) agonist to produce bladder and colorectal contractions in both young adult and aged SCI rats.
SETTING: Dignify Therapeutics and Integrated Laboratory Systems, Durham, NC USA.
METHODS: Bladder and colorectal pressure and voiding efficiency were measured in response to the NK2R agonist, [Lys5,Me,Leu9,Nle10]-NKA(4-10) (LMN-NKA), in anesthetized animals. The potency and efficacy of LMN-NKA was examined in young adult and aged SCI (T3 or T9 transected) rats, with young adult and aged spinal intact rats included as controls.
RESULTS: LMN-NKA (3-300 μg/kg i.v.) produced dose-dependent increases in bladder and colorectal pressure in all anesthetized rats. No differences in the bladder or colorectal pressure responses or voiding efficiency were observed with age or after SCI. The level of SCI did not change the pharmacodynamic responses to the agonist.
CONCLUSIONS: An NK2R agonist produced similar responses in young adult and aged SCI rats, suggesting this class of agonists could be used as a potential therapy to induce on-demand urination and defecation in aged populations, with or without SCI.
