Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and the ensuing clinical lower urinary tract dysfunction are common in elderly patients. BOO is accompanied by urodynamic changes in bladder function and leads to organ fibrosis and ultimately loss of contractility. Comprehensive transcriptome analysis of bladder samples from human patients with different urodynamically defined phenotypes of BOO revealed tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α as the top upstream signaling pathway regulator. Herein, we validated next-generation sequencing and pathway analysis in cell-based models using bladder smooth muscle and urothelial cells exposed to TNF-α. miRNA profiling and transcriptome analysis of TNF-α-treated bladder smooth muscle cells revealed striking similarities with human BOO. Using a comparative approach, TNF-specific and TNF-independent pathways were delineated in human biopsy specimens. Concomitant down-regulation of smooth muscle cell-specific miRNAs and smooth muscle markers after TNF-α treatment was in accordance with the loss of contractility in humans in advanced obstruction-induced bladder remodeling. The expression levels of four abundant TNF-regulated miRNAs were modulated; the compensatory up-regulation of miR-199a-5p reduced NF-κB signaling. Essential hubs of TNF-α signaling pathways mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1) and IKBKB (IκB kinase β) were targeted by miR-199a-5p. miR-199a-5p might be part of a negative feedback loop, reducing the impact of TNF, whereas its down-regulation in acontractile bladders from BOO patients advances the disease. The compensatory up-regulation of miR-199a-5p together with TNF-α inhibition may be therapeutically beneficial.
