Time-of-day dependent changes in guinea pig bladder afferent mechano-sensitivity

Abstract The voiding of urine has a clear circadian rhythm with increased voiding during active phases and decreased voiding during inactive phases. Bladder spinal afferents play a key role in the regulation of bladder storage and voiding, but it is unknown whether they exhibit themselves a potentia...

Bladder spinal afferents play a key role in the regulation of bladder storage and voiding, but it is unknown whether they exhibit themselves a potential circadian rhythm.

Adult female guinea pigs underwent conscious voiding monitoring and bladder ex vivo single unit extracellular afferent recordings at 0300 h and 1500 h to determine day-night modulation of bladder afferent activity. All guinea pigs voided a higher amount of urine at 1500 h compared to 0300 h. This was due to an increased number of voids at 1500 h. The mechano-sensitivity of low- and high-threshold stretch-sensitive muscular-mucosal bladder afferents to mucosal stroking and stretch was significantly higher at 1500 h compared to 0300 h. Low-threshold stretch-insensitive mucosal afferent sensitivity to stroking was significantly higher at 1500 h compared to 0300 h. Further, the chemosensitivity of mucosal afferents to N-Oleoyl Dopamine (endogenous TRPV1 agonist) was also significantly increased at 1500 h compared to 0300 h. This data indicates that bladder afferents exhibit a significant time-of-day dependent variation in mechano-sensitivity which may influence urine voiding patterns. Further studies across a 24 h period are warranted to reveal potential circadian rhythm modulation of bladder afferent activity.Stewart ChristieVladimir ZagorodnyukNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-10 (2021)
