Wang et al. report that in rats exposed to daily ketamine for sixteen weeks, the urothelium begins to undergo phenoconversion to a more mesenchymal state. This epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), has several classic molecular hallmarks and Wang et al. demonstrate convincingly that a number of these including downregulation of E-cadherin, upregulation of mesenchymal markers vimentin and fibroblast specific protein (FSP-1), colocalization of both epithelial and mesenchymal markers in a subset of urothelium-associated cells and upregulation of TGFβ expression in urothelium are all present.
