Transcriptome data of rat bladder tissues of chronic bladder ischemia injury mediated detrusor underactive animal model

Detrusor underactivity (DUA) is defined as reduced detrusor contraction strength and/or duration, resulting in prolonged bladder emptying and/or a failure to achieve complete bladder emptying within a normal time span. DUA is a frustrating diagnosis for clinicians as well as patients since no effective pharmacological treatment is available. The prevalence of urodynamically confirmed DUA in elderly patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is known to be approximately 28% (40.2% in male and 13.3% in female), and the prevalence of DUA increases with age 65. Vascular endothelial damage (VED) also occurs during the human aging process and is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and hypertension. Pelvic arterial insufficiency, a common clinical problem in the elderly population, may lead to impaired lower urinary tract perfusion and have an important role in voiding dysfunction, such as DUA or detrusor overactivity (DO). Thus, to establish a reliable detrusor underactivity (DUA) rat model and to investigate the pathophysiology of chronic bladder ischemia (CBI) on voiding behavior and bladder function. 16 weeks Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats were used. The iliac arterial injury (AI) was made by endothelial injury of the iliac arteries (AI-30, 30 times of injury at each iliac artery) for bladder ischemia and received a 2% cholesterol diet for atherosclerosis. The sham group underwent sham operation and received 2% cholesterol diet. After 8 weeks, gene expression analysis was done.
