Abstract

ABSTRACT We hypothesized that Escherichia coli cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (CNF1) might impair migration or proliferation of bladder cells and could potentially interfere with repair of the bladder epithelium. Using experimentally wounded human T24 bladder epithelial cell monolayers as an in vitro model, we found that both the number of T24 cells and the maximum distance they migrated into wounded regions was significantly decreased by bacterial extracts containing E. coli CNF1.
