In humans, some of the fatty acid metabolite levels are higher in nocturia patient plasma compared to non-nocturia patient. Especially, Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) showed highest level, which are known as an agonist of G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55). In the present study, we investigated the dynamics and effect of PEA on GPR55 in the mice bladder to evaluate the relationship between nocturia and lipid metabolism. METHODS: Male C57BL/6 (WT) mouse and Clock mutant mouse (ClockΔ19/Δ19) were used. ClockΔ19/Δ19 mouse deficit a function of Clock, which is one of clock genes, and showed nocturia phenotype. They were bred 12 h dark/light condition. PEA concentration in the mouse serum was measured using LS/MS every 8 hour for 2 days and compared between WT and ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice. PEA (10 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally (ip) in WT mice under the constant dark condition, and urination pattern was recorded for 2 days using metabolic cages. GPR55 distribution in mice was evaluated using Immunofluorescence staining, RT-PCR, and Western blotting. The PEA induced intracellular Ca2+ variations was measured in the mouse primary cultured urothelial cells (UCs) using Fura2-AM Ca2+ imaging. RESULTS: Serum PEA concentration fluctuated with circadian rhythm in WT mice, which was lower during light phase. However, those in ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice were in constant and higher-level during sleep phase. The voiding frequency was increased, and bladder capacity was decreased after PEA ip in WT mice. GPR55 was predominant at bladder urothelial cell layer. The intracellular Ca2+ was increased after PEA stimulation, also under extracellular Ca2+ free condition in UCs. These changes were inhibited by an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) inhibitor (Fig. 1). CONCLUSIONS: These results indicated that clock gene abnormalities cause higher serum PEA level in mice. PEA can activate GPR55 in the bladder urothelium, then mobilizes Ca2+ in the ER to cytoplasm and triggers the micturition reflex. The development of new drugs for GPR55 may leads to nocturia treatment.
