Chronic cystitis is characterized by the hyperplasia and fibrosis of the bladder wall as well as attenuated compliance of the bladder. To further unravel its underlying molecular mechanism, the role of NF kappa B-JMJD3 signaling pathway in cystitis induced bladder fibrosis was investigated. Jmjd3 and Col1/3 expression was detected in a cystitis mouse model that was developed by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (CYP). Human bladder smooth muscle cells (hBSMCs) were stimulated in vitro with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the cell proliferation and collagen accumulation were detected using EdU, CCK8, flow cytometry, qPCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence assays. Furthermore, the effects of NF kappa B and JMJD3 on cell proliferation and collagen accumulation were investigated using its selective antagonists, JSH23 and GSK-J4, respectively. CYP induced cystitis significantly increased Jmjd3, Col1 and Col3 expression in the bladder muscle cells. Furthermore, LPS stimulation markedly activated NF kappa B signaling and elevated JMJD3 expression in hBSMCs, and the activation of NF kappa B-JMJD3 signaling significantly promoted cell proliferation and collagen accumulation by upregulating CCND1 and COL1/3 expression, respectively. Our study reveals the critical role of NF kappa B-JMJD3 signaling in cystitis induced bladder reconstruction by regulating hBSMC proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, and these findings provide an avenue for effective treatment of patients with cystitis.
