Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

The objective of this study is to investigate the expression of calpain-1, calpain-2, and calpastatin in the human periurethral vaginal tissues and to show the potential link between calpain system and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Methods

The periurethral vaginal tissues of 39 women with SUI and 31 women without SUI were collected to detect the expressions of calpains and calpastatin by using semi-quantitative competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting.

Results

There were no significant differences on the expressions of calpain-1 at the levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein in both groups (P > 0.05), but the patients with SUI had significantly higher levels of calpain-2 mRNA and protein than the control (P < 0.05); and the mRNA expressions of calpastatin in women with SUI were significantly higher than the control (P < 0.05), while the protein expressions were significantly lower when compared to the control (P < 0.01).

Conclusions

Overexpression of calpain-2 and low expression of calpastatin may involve in the pathological development of SUI.
