“…We confirmed that the subepithelial location of mast cells in biopsies of patients with BPS/IC with Hunner lesions is different for BPS/IC with vs without Hunner lesions 3 and submucosal mast cell counts were similar in patients with BPS/IC without Hunner lesions and OAB. 5 Our detrusor mast cell count findings support previously published research on BPS/IC. 6 However, only 30% of the biopsies in our series met the ESSIC requirements of greater than 1 mm 2 detrusor muscle per biopsy 6 and counts were extrapolated to 1 mm 2 .…”

“…Groups have identified an increased mast cell count as a diagnostic criterion of BPS/IC 3,4 but an increased number of mast cells in the bladder wall was also reported in patients with OAB. 5 Different fixation/ staining techniques for mast cells and inconsistent criteria for patient selection and controls have resulted in conflicting results. 4 According to ESSIC guidelines a single criterion for detrusor mastocytosis (28 mast cells per mm 2 or greater) assigns a biopsy to the most severe biopsy category.…”

“…Yet the mechanisms that regulate these events are essentially not known, decreased expression of ZO-1 in urotelium and diffusion of RR throughout the intercelluler space in this study showed that mobile phone EMWs can damage the intercellular junctional structures of rat urothelium. It is well known that abnormal E-cadherin and ZO-1 expression as well as increase in infiltration of mast cells in the urothelium are associated with IC/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) [25,26].…”

“…20 Tight junction protein ZO-1 serves as another important constituent to maintain the high-resistance urothelial barrier. 21 ZO-1 is regarded as multidomain scaffolding proteins that interlink the tight junction, a membrane-associated complex that controls the transport of ions, macromolecules, and immune cells. 22 However, for many patients with urological malignancy or extensive tissue and organ damage, organ biopsy cannot yield enough safe or sufficient cells for expansion and transplantation.…”
