P2X <sub>2</sub> and P2X <sub>3</sub> receptor expression in human bladder urothelium and changes in interstitial cystitis
27 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the expression of P2X(3) receptors (implicated in the pathophysiology of pain) is altered in human bladder urothelium from patients with interstitial cystitis (IC, a major symptom of which is pain), and as P2X(2) receptors can be co-expressed with P2X(3) receptors, to assess their expression also. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Bladder tissue samples were collected from patients...
