When bacteria enter the bladder lumen, a first-stage active defensive mechanism flushes them out. Although urinary frequency induced by bacterial cystitis is a well-known defensive response against bacteria, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, using a mouse model of acute bacterial cystitis, we demonstrate that the bladder urothelium senses luminal extracellular bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) through Toll-like receptor 4 and releases the transmitter ATP. Moreover, analysis of purinergic P2X2 and P2X3 receptor-deficient mice indicated that ATP signaling plays a pivotal role in the LPS-induced activation of L6–S1 spinal neurons through the bladder afferent pathway, resulting in rapid onset of the enhanced micturition reflex. Thus, we revealed a novel defensive mechanism against bacterial infection via an epithelial-neural interaction that induces urinary frequency prior to bacterial clearance by neutrophils of the innate immune system. Our results indicate an important defense role for the bladder urothelium as a chemical-neural transducer, converting bacterial LPS information into neural signaling via an ATP-mediated pathway, with bladder urothelial cells acting as sensory receptor cells.
