ObjectivesTo analyze the urothelial responses to mitomycinC treatment after urethral injury in rats, as the urothelium might play a role in the pathogenesis of urethral stricture.MethodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups (n=5/group): negative control, positive control without further treatment, experimental control treated with sodium hyaluronate and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and experimental treated with mitomycinC after internal urethrotomy.ResultsCompared with negative controls, positive controls showed a significant increase in cell proliferation and DNA damage accompanied by a considerable decrease in DNA repair in the urothelium, which resulted in urethral stricture. Experimental controls showed a significant increase in cell proliferation, DNA damage and DNA repair compared with negative controls. The mitomycinC-treated group showed a significant decrease in cell proliferation and DNA damage, but a considerable increase in DNA repair compared with the positive and experimental control groups. DNA damage was immediately increased after urethral injury, but DNA repair and cell proliferation showed belated and upregulated expression after mitomycinC treatment.ConclusionsMitomycinC could induce healthy re-epithelialization without severe damage in the urothelium. This finding might support the possibility of using mitomycinC as an adjuvant therapy for urethral strictures, and it might also suggest a urothelial role in the process of urethral stricture after urethral injury.
