Among hospital–acquired infections, Pseudomonas aeruginosa-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) are mainly caused by indwelling urethral catheters (catheter-associated UTIs or CAUTIs) and are difficult to treat, resulting in high rates of morbidity among hospitalized patients. While antibiotics can successfully treat bacteria in the bladder lumen, they are inefficient at crossing stratified urothelium plasma membranes to kill persistent intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs). Herein, UTI IBCs are targeted by locally delivering the antibiotic gentamicin and / or the steroid hormone estradiol via polymeric nanogels conjugated with a cell-penetrating peptide Cys-Gly-Lys-Arg-Lys (CGKRK - SEQ ID NO:1). This approach delivered more intracellular gentamicin compared to drug delivered in solution in vitro and more estradiol compared to conventional methods. In an acute UTI murine model, the nanogel cell-penetrating peptide drug delivery system facilitated the transport of gentamicin into the urothelium and resulted in > 90% clearance of a uropathogenic P. aeruginosa clinical strain in vivo.

The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biomedicine, and particularly relates to a urinary tract epithelial cell marker and application thereof in diagnosis of urinary tract epithelial cell carcinoma. The molecular marker is cytoplasm thyroid hormone binding protein CRYM, and an immunochemical staining experiment proves that the cytoplasm thyroid hormone binding protein CRYM has the potential to serve as a single immunomarker to be used for distinguishing normal urinary tract epithelial cells / reactive hyperplastic urinary tract epithelial cells and urinary tract epithelial cancer cells. Therefore, the kit plays a key identification role in histopathologic diagnosis or urine noninvasive screening of urothelial carcinoma, and provides important technical support for clinical noninvasive diagnosis.

The present application relates to the field of cancer cell identification, and particularly relates to a method and system for identifying different types of cancer cells of a renal pelvis cancer patient based on urine, the method comprising: collecting a urine sample, obtaining a detection sample by using the urine sample; sequencing the detection sample to obtain a cell expression profile of the detection sample; obtaining cell expression profile data of a mixed urothelial cell subpopulation by using the cell expression profile, the mixed urothelial cell subpopulation comprising normal urothelial cells and cancerous urothelial cells; extracting different proto-oncogene expression data from the cell expression profile data of the mixed urothelial cell subpopulation; analyzing the different proto-oncogene expression data to obtain a cancer cell ratio and identify different types of cancer cells. The present method quickly and accurately obtains different types of cancerous urothelial cells through non-invasive examination and proto-oncogene expression profile data, and provides a reference and basis for preoperative neoadjuvant therapy of renal pelvis cancer.
