We have studied the phenotypic changes in regenerating smooth muscle (SM) tissue of detrusor muscle after local application of a necrotizing, freeze-thaw injury to the serosal surface of rabbit bladder. Bromo-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and immunofluorescence studies were performed on bladder cryosections from day 2 up to day 15 after surgery with monoclonal antibodies specific for some cytoskeletal markers [desmin, vimentin, non-muscle (NM) myosin] and for SM-specific proteins (alpha-actin, myosin, and SM22). Four days after lesion, some clls incorporated in regenerating SM bundles are BrdU positive, but all display a phenotypic pattern identical to that of the interstitial, highly proliferating cells, i.e., expression of vimentin. By days 7-15 the differentiation profile of regenerating SM returns to that of uninjured SM tissue (appearance of desmin, SM-type alpha-actin, and SM myosin). A chemical denervation achieved by 6-hydroxydopamine treatment for 2 weeks induces the formation of vimentin/SM alpha-actin/NM myosin/SM22-containing myofibroblasts in the interstitial, fibroblast-like cells of uninjured bladder. In the bladder wall, alteration of reinnervation during the regenerating SM process produces: (1) in the outer region, the activation of vimentin/SM alpha-actin/desmin myofibroblasts in the de novo SM cell bundles; and (2) in the inner region of bladder, including the muscularis mucosae, the formation of proliferating, fully differentiated SM cells peripherally to newly formed SM cell bundles. These findings suggest that: (1) the de novo SM tissue formation in the bladder can occur via incorporation of interstitial cells into growing SM bundles; and (2) the alteration of reinnervation during the regenerating process induces a spatial-specific differentiation of interstitial myofibroblasts in SM cells before SM cell bundling. |
