Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1 and ERK2) are phosphorylated in the nervous system after somatic or visceral stimulation or inflammation and play roles in central sensitization and pain hypersensitivity. ERK1/2 activation with CYP-induced cystitis has been demonstrated in urinary bladder and inhibitors of ERK1/2 phosphorylation reduce CYP-induced bladder hyperreflexia. In this study, we determined pERK1/2 expression and regulation in lumbosacral dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal cord with cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced cystitis (4 hour (hr), 48 hr, chronic) using western blotting and immunohistochemical techniques. pERK1/2 expression was significantly (p ≤ 0.01) upregulated in L6 and S1 DRG with CYP-induced cystitis with the greatest upregulation occurring at 4 hr. No changes in pERK1/2 expression were observed in L1, L2 or L5 DRG or in any spinal cord segment examined (L1, L2, L5-S1) with CYP-induced cystitis. Cytoplasmic pERK1/2-immunoreactivity (IR) and pericellular pERK1/2-IR was observed in all DRG examined from control rats and cytoplasmic pERK1/2-IR was significantly (p ≤ 0.01) increased in L6 and S1 DRG with 4 hr and 48 hr CYP-induced cystitis. In contrast, pericellular pERK1/2-IR in DRG was not regulated by CYP-induced cystitis. A small percentage of bladder afferent cells in lumbosacral DRG expressed pERK1/2-IR in control rats; however, CYP-induced cystitis (48 hr) significantly (p ≤ 0.01) increased the percentage of bladder afferent cells in the L6 and S1 DRG exhibiting pERK1/2-IR. These studies suggest that activation of the ERK pathway in lumbosacral DRG may play a role in neuroplasticity in micturition reflexes with CYP-induced cystitis.
