Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) resulting from benign prostatic hyperplasia are a common complaint among elderly men worldwide. Our previous study reported alleviative efficacy of Thai traditional massage (TTM) on LUTS patients. However, underlying mechanism at cellular level remained elusive. Herein, we investigated the effect of TTM on urinary monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and associative inflammatory biomarkers. Forty-three patients were randomized into two groups: Tamsulosin (n = 23) and TTM (n = 20). The urinary MCP-1 and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) levels as well as gene expression levels of MCP-1, Chemotactic protein receptor 2b (CCR2b), IFN-γ, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) were evaluated before and after a four-week treatment. The urinary MCP-1 and IFN-g levels as well as gene expression levels of MCP-1, CCR2b, IFN-γ, IL-1β, and TGF-β1 were evaluated before and after treatment with Tamsulosin or TTM group. Urinary MCP-1 and IFN-γ levels and the expression levels of five genes from sedimented urine samples were measured using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay and quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction, respectively. We observed significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the ratio of urinary MCP-1 and creatinine (Cr); MCP-1/Cr levels in subjects given only TTM. There were no significant differences (p < 0.05) in IFN-γ/Cr levels in both groups. TTM group down-regulated the expression of IFN-γ whereas up-regulated IL-1β and TGF-β1 mRNA. Our findings suggested TTM had alleviative effects in LUTS patients, which were partially mediated by a reduction of urinary inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory gene expression.
