Animal models of vaginal distention (VD) have demonstrated increased expression of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7 (CCL7). In this study, we investigated the expression of CCL7 in mice models of simulated birth trauma-induced urinary incontinence utilizing VD and pudendal nerve transection (PNT). Forty-nine mice were divided into 6 groups: VD, sham VD, PNT, sham PNT anesthesia, and age-matched controls. The urethra, vagina, and rectum were harvested for the expression of CCL7 immediately or 24 hours after assigned procedure. Venous sampling for quantification of serum CCL7 was also performed. An ANOVA model was used to compare the relative expression of CCL7 in each group. Urethral CCL7 expression in the VD group was significantly higher than control group after 24 hours (p<0.01). There was no difference in the urethral CCL7 expression in PNT, sham PNT, sham VD or anesthesia groups compared with controls. No statistically significant difference was noted in the vaginal and rectal expression of CCL7 between any of the groups except for sham PNT. Statistically significant differences were noted in the serum CCL7 expression in VD, PNT and sham PNT (p<0.01 in all) groups after 24 hours compared with the control group. This study demonstrates over-expression of urethral CCL7 after VD but not PNT. This suggests that nerve injury does not contribute to the CCL7 over-expression. The over-expression of CCL7 in the serum of mice after VD suggests a translational potential where CCL7 measurement could be used as a surrogate for injury after delivery.
