INTRODUCTION: Although interstitial cystitis is an inflammatory disease, its etiopathogenesis is not clearly understood. The objective of the present study is to investigate the distribution of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its receptors in bladder biopsy samples of patients diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and the role of TRAIL in the pathogenesis of interstitial cystitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: TRAIL and its receptors were stained immunohistochemically in bladder biopsy samples of 27 patients diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, and the samples were evaluated independently by two pathologists and were scored in terms of expression intensity and distribution. RESULTS: An evaluation of the results of the statistical analysis showed that the TRAIL-R4 receptor was immunohistochemically stained with a higher score than TRAIL-R1, TRAIL-R2, TRAIL-R3 receptors and TRAIL, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that TRAIL-R4 is the predominant receptor in the interstitial cystitis inflammation.
