Partial urinary bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO) in men, secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia, induces detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) hypertrophy. However, despite DSM hypertrophy, some bladders become severely dysfunctional ( decompensated). Using a rabbit model of PBOO, we found that although DSM from sham-operated bladders expressed nearly 100% of both the smooth muscle myosin heavy chain isoform SM-B and essential light chain isoform LC17a, DSM from severely dysfunctional bladders expressed as much as 75% SM-A and 40% LC17b (both associated with decreased maximum velocity of shortening). DSM from dysfunctional bladder also exhibited tonic-type contractions, characterized by slow force generation and high force maintenance. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that decreased SM-B expression in dysfunctional bladders was not due to generation of a new cell population lacking SM-B. Metabolic cage monitoring revealed decreased void volume and increased voiding frequency correlated with overexpression of SM-A and LC17b. Myosin isoform expression and bladder function returned toward normal upon removal of the obstruction, indicating that the levels of expression of these isoforms are markers of the PBOO-induced dysfunctional bladders.
