Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Different clinical conditions can require urinary bladder augmentation or replacement. Tissue engineered bladder has been clinically evaluated but is not recommended due to diverse side effects. Thus, there is a real interest for the development of regenerative approach with innovative scaffolds and cell transplantation. The investigators propose the use of urothelial cells obtained by Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate or bladder (TURP) to obtain a tissue engineered urothelium in association with different scaffolds.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (0)
[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Histological analysis of biopsy.
- timeFrame
- 6 month
- description
- Histological analysis with standard coloration will assess the viability of urothelium. Signs of necrosis (ulcerations, destructions of urothelium structure) will be noted.
Secondary outcomes (16)
- measure
- Immunohistological analysis of biopsy.
- timeFrame
- 6 month
- description
- Immunohistological analysis using specific antibodies will locate the urothelium (Keratin, Uroplakin), the smooth muscle (Smooth muscle actin), the prostatic gland (Prostatic specific antigen).
- measure
- RT-qPCR analysis of biopsy.
- timeFrame
- 6 month
- description
- RT-qPCR analysis will measure the level of expression (compared to housekeeping gene RPLP0) of RNA specific to urothelium (Keratin, Uroplakin), the smooth muscle (Smooth muscle actin), the prostatic gland (Prostatic specific antigen). This level will be compared to cultured urothelial cells.
