Cyclophosphamide (Sigma) is associated with urological complications, including irritative voiding symptoms and hemorrhagic cystitis. Evidence suggests that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (R&D Systems), interleukin-1beta and cyclooxygenase-2 are directly involved in the pathogenesis of cyclophosphamide induced cystitis and these molecules depend on transcription factor NF-kappaB for maximal secretion. Additionally, sesquiterpene lactone parthenolide has been shown to be a potent nuclear factor-kappaB inhibitor. We hypothesized that enhanced nuclear factor-kappaB activity contributes to cyclophosphamide induced cystitis and, therefore, it may be an attractive target for preventing cyclophosphamide cystitis. We determined whether parthenolide could be used as a preventive agent for hemorrhagic cystitis and bladder overactivity. Moreover, we determined the molecular mechanisms of parthenolide on the inhibitory action of nuclear factor-kappaB in inflammatory human benign urothelial cells.
