We evaluated whether LIM-kinase 2 inhibitor （LIMK2i） could improve erectile function by suppressing corporal fibrosis through the normalization of the Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinase 1 （ROCK1）/LIMK2/Cofilin pathway in a rat model of cavernous nerve crush injury （CNCl）. Sixty 11-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided equally into five groups： sham surgery （S）, CNCl （I）, and CNCl treated with low-dose （L）, medium-dose （M）, and high-dose （H） LIMK2i. The L, M, and H groups were treated with a daily intraperitoneal injection of LIMK2i （2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mg kg-1 body weight, respectively） for 1 week after surgery. The erectile response was assessed using electrostimulation at 1 week, postoperatively. Penile tissues were processed for Masson＇s trichrome staining, double immunofluorescence, and Western blot assay. Erectile responses in the H group improved compared with the I group, while the M group showed only partial improvement. A significantly decreased smooth muscle/collagen ratio and an increased content of fibroblasts positive for phospho-/IMK2 were noted in the I group. The M and H groups revealed significant improvements in histological alterations and the dysregulated LIMK2/Cofilin pathway, except for LIMK2 phosphorylation in the M group. The inhibition of LIMK2 did not affect the ROCK1 protein expression. The content of fibroblasts positive for phospho-LIMK2 in the H group returned to the level found in the S group, whereas it did not in the M group. However, the L group did not exhibit such improvements. Our data suggest that the inhibition of LIMK2, particularly with administration of 10.0 mg kg^-1 body weight LIMK2i, can improve corporal fibrosis and erectile function by normalizing the LIMK2/Cofilin pathway.

We aimed to determine whether combination of LIM-kinase 2 inhibitor(LIMK2i)and phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor(PDE5i)could restore erectile function through suppressing cavernous fibrosis and improving caver nous apoptosis in a rat model of cavernous nerve crush injury(CNCI).Seventy 12-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were equally distributed into five groups as follows:(1)sham surgery(Group S),(2)CNCI(Group I),(3)CNCI treated with daily intraperitoneal administration of 10.0 mg kg^-1 LIMK2i(Group I+L),(4)daily oral administration of 20.0 mg kg-1 udenafil,PDE5i(Group I+U),and(5)combined administration of 10.0 mg kg^-1 LIMK2i and 20.0 mg kg^-1 udenafil(Group I+L+U).Rats in Groups I+L,I+U,and I+L+U were treated with respective regimens for 2 weeks after *** 2 weeks after surgery,erectile response was assessed using *** tissues were processed for histological studies and western *** I showed lower intracavernous pressure(ICP)/mean arterial pressure(MAP),lower area under the curve(AUC)/MAP,decreased immunohistochemical staining for alpha-smooth muscle(SM)actin,higher apoptotic index,lower SM/collagen ratio,increased phospho-LIMK2-positive fibroblasts,decreased protein kinase B/endothelial nitric oxide synthase(Akt/eNOS)phosphorylation,increased LIMK2/cofilin phosphorylation,and increased protein expression of fibronectin,compared to Group *** all three treatment groups,erectile responses,protein expression of fibronectin,and SM/collagen ratio were *** I+L+U showed greater improvement in erectile response than Group I+*** content and apoptotic index in Groups I+U and I+L+U were improved compared to those in Group ***,Group I+L did not show a significant improvement in SM content or apoptotic *** number of phospho-LIMK2-positive fibroblasts was normalized in Groups I+L and I+L+U,but not in Group I+***/eNOS phosphorylation was improved in Groups I+U and I+L+U,but not in Group I+***2/cofilin phosphorylation was i
