Figure 5From: ROS generation via NOX4 and its utility in the cytological diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder Representative data of ROS urine cytology. (A) Atypical urothelial cell cluster was found under bright field, and these cells were reactive to CM-DCFDA and DHE as determined under fluorescence filed (C-C is poitive and ROS-C is positive). Histological examination of bladder tumors (H&E) revealed superficially invasive/high grade urothelial carcinoma (pT1). (B) Cluster of atypical small sized urothelial cells were found under bright field, but intracellular ROS was not determined (C-C is 'suspicious' but ROS-C is negative). Histology of bladder specimen (H&E) revealed denuding cystitis without malignant findings.Back to article page
