Kindlin-2 Expression in Arsenite- and Cadmium-transformed Bladder Cancer Cell Lines and in Archival Specimens of Human Bladder Cancer

Kindlin-2 is expressed in the stromal component of most, if not all, human bladder cancers. Kindlin-2 is not expressed in normal urothelium. Kindlin-2 is expressed in a small subset of high-grade invasive bladder cancers and may have potential as a prognostic marker for tumor progression.
