Abstract:
Objective To investigate the significance of mast cells activation,and IL-6,IL-10,sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins 8 (Siglec-8) expression in interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome.Methods Bladder mucosal biopsy tissues of 21 patients with IC/BPS admitted to our hospital from March 2016 to October 2017 were taken as the IC/BPS group,and normal bladder mucosa biopsy tissues of 9 patients who underwent ureteroscopy were taken as the control group.In the IC/BPS group,there were 3 males and 18 females aged (56.2 ± 3.4) years,and the patients'pain symptom score (PUF) was (24.6 ± 3.6).Four males and five females in the control group were aged (63 ± 5.1) years.The infiltration of bladder mucosa mast cells and plasma cells in IC/BPS group and control group was observed by transmission electron microscopy.The expression of IL-6,IL-10 and Siglec-8 were detected by immunohistochemical staining.The relationship between the expression level of the immune index and the PUF score was analyzed.Results In the IC/BPS group,mast cells and plasma cells was observed in 18 of the 21 cases,but no mast cells or plasma cells were observed in the control group.Expression of IL-6 in IC/BPS group 1 case (-),11 cases(+) and 9 cases (+ +).IL-6 expression in the control group 9 cases were all (-).The difference of IL-6 expression between the IC/BPS group and the control group was statistically significant (P =0.001).Expression of IL-10 were 3 cases (-),7 cases (+ +),11 cases (+ +) in IC/BPS group,while 7 cases (-),2 cases (+ +),and 0 cases (+ +)in the control group,and there was significant difference between the two group (P =0.001).In the IC/BPS group,expression of Siglee-8 were 12 cases (-),5 (+),4 (+ +),while in control group 7 cases (-),2 (+),and 0 (+ +),no statistically significant difference was found between the two group (P =0.214).The PUF score of the patients with IL-10 expression (-) was 19.7 ± 2.1,lower than those with IL-10 (+ +) (27.1 + 2.5,P ＜ 0.001).PUF of patients with IL-10 (+) was 22.7 ± 1.8,lower than those with (+ +) (P =0.001).The PUF score of IL-6 expression (-) was 21.The PUF score of IL-6 expression (+) was (23.2 + 3.2),lower than (+ +) (26.7 + 3.1,P =0.025).The PUF score of (+ +) IC/BPS patients was (26.6 ± 2.4),higher than that of (+) IC/BPS patients (21.5 ± 2.1,P ＜ 0.0 l).The PUF score of Siglec-8 expression (+ +) and (+) in IC/BPS group was (21.3 ± 2.0),lower than that of Siglec-8 (-) (27.0 ± 2.3,P ＜ 0.0l).Conclusions Mast cells and plasma cells were expressed in IC/BPS tissues.The expression of IL-6 and IL-10 was positively correlated with clinical symptoms,while the expression of Siglec-8 was negatively correlated with clinical symptoms.
