Action against Disease Model DG041 The bladder rhythmic contraction model and a bladder pain model measuring the visceromotor reflex (VMR) to urinary bladder distension (UBD) have been used to evaluate DG-041 in female rats. DG-041 (10 mg/kg), a peripherally restricted EP3 receptor antagonist, significantly reduced the frequency of bladder rhythmic contraction and inhibited the VMR response to bladder distension. DG-041 selectively attenuated responses of mechanosensitive afferent nerves to UBD, with strong suppression on the slow-conducting, high-threshold afferent fibers, with equivalent activity in thethree strains. We conclude that sensitization of afferent nerve activity was not one of the mechanisms of bladder hypersensitivity in SHR. EP3 receptors are involved in the regulation of bladder micturition and bladder nociception at the peripheral level. [552831] Drug Info
The Effect of Target Knockout, Knockdown or Genetic Variations The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A was suppressed in NS-398-treated mice compared with PBS-treated mice. Lungs containing LLC colonies were markedly reduced in EP3 receptor knockout (EP3(-/-)) mice compared with WT mice. The expression of MMP-9 and VEGF-A was downregulated in metastatic lungs of EP3(-/-) mice. An immunohistochemical study revealed that MMP-9-expressing endothelial cells were markedly reduced in EP3(-/-) mice compared with WT mice
