Cadherin-11 Up-Regulation in Overactive Bladder Suburothelial Myofibroblasts

Using commercially available antibodies cadherin-11 and β-catenin expression in human bladder suburothelial myofibroblasts and detrusor smooth muscle cells was noted. Cadherin-11 up-regulation in suburothelial myofibroblasts in patients with overactive bladder may be significant in overactive bladder pathogenesis.
