p,Many solid tumors exhibit elevated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP). This elevated pressure within the core of the tumor results in outward flow of interstitial fluid to the tumor periphery. We previously found that the directionality of IFP gradients modulates collective invasion from the surface of patterned three-dimensional (3D) aggregates of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. Here, we used this 3D engineered tumor model to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying IFP-induced changes in invasive phenotype. We found that IFP alters the expression of genes associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Specifically, the levels of Snail, vimentin, and E-cadherin were increased under pressure conditions that promoted collective invasion. These changes in gene expression were sufficient to direct collective invasion in response to IFP. Furthermore, we found that IFP modulates the motility and persistence of individual cells within the aggregates, which are also influenced ...

Research on the biology of the tumor stroma has the potential to lead to development of more effective treatment regimes enhancing the efficacy of drug-based treatment of solid malignancies. Tumor stroma is characterized by distorted blood vessels and activated connective tissue cells producing a collagen-rich matrix, which is accompanied by elevated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP), indicating a transport barrier between tumor tissue and blood. Here, we show that the collagen-binding proteoglycan fibromodulin controls stroma structure and fluid balance in experimental carcinoma. Gene ablation or inhibition of expression by anti-inflammatory agents showed that fibromodulin promoted the formation of a dense stroma and an elevated IFP. Fibromodulin-deficiency did not affect vasculature but increased the extracellular fluid volume and lowered IFP. Our data suggest that fibromodulin controls stroma matrix structure that in turn modulates fluid convection inside and out of the stroma. This finding ...

Hyaluronan (HA) is a large glycosaminoglycan, and a significant component of stromal extracellular matrix (ECM) in many tissues and malignancies. Its accumulation on cancer cells and the surrounding stroma predicts unfavorable disease outcome, suggesting that HA enhances tumor growth and progression. PEGPH20 is a pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase that depletes HA substrate from extracellular tumor microenvironment, decreases tumor interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) and water content and increases tumor vascular area. We have previously demonstrated significant anti-tumor effects of PEGPH20 when used as a single agent and in combination with Docetaxel and liposomal Doxorubicin in peritibial PC3 xenograft prostate carcinoma model. Herein, we evaluated PEGPH20 therapeutic potential in combination with Gemcitabine in the HA-high (BxPC-3) and HA-low (AsPC-1, MIAPaCa-2) subcutaneous pancreatic cancer xenograft models. Assessment of HA levels in the culture supernatants of BxPC-3, AsPC-1 and ...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:The effects of chemical and physical interactions in the microenvironment of solid tumors have not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that acidosis, hypoxia, and elevated interstitial fluid pressure (eIFP) have additive effects on tumor cell biology and lead to more aggressive behavior during tumor progression. We investigated this phenomenon using 3 human osteosarcoma cell lines and a novel in vitro cell culture apparatus. MATERIALS AND METHODS:U2OS, SaOS, and MG63 cell lines were cultured in media adjusted to various pH levels, oxygen tension (hypoxia 2% O2, normoxia 20% O2), and hydrostatic gauge pressure (0 or 50 mm Hg). Growth rate, apoptosis, cell cycle parameters, and expression of mRNA for proteins associated with invasiveness and tumor microenvironment (CA IX, VEGF-A, HIF-1A, MMP-9, and TIMP-2) were analyzed. Levels of CA IX, HIF-1α, and MMP-9 were measured using immunofluorescence. The effect of pH on invasiveness was evaluated in a Matrigel chamber assay.RESULTS:

In this study, we have shown the functional changes that occur as a result of the remodeling of tumor vasculature with bevacizumab in a relevant, orthotopic model of neuroblastoma. Although the importance of normalization of the intratumoral vasculature is becoming increasingly appreciated (26), this is the first study to show that this normalization has functional consequences with regard to the intratumoral delivery and antitumor activity of adjuvant anticancer agents when given together with bevacizumab. Our results also show that the antitumor effect depends, at least in part, on drug scheduling.. The aberrant structure and function of tumor neovessels leads to a microenvironment within solid tumors that is characterized by elevated interstitial fluid pressure, inefficient tumor perfusion, and significant areas of hypoxia and acidosis (27, 28). These factors contribute to poor intratumoral drug delivery and activity, and, in part, to the development of resistance to cytotoxic therapies. We ...

Interstitial flow emanates from tumors into the microenvironment where it promotes tumor cell invasion. Fibroblasts are key constituents of the tumor stroma that modulate the mechanical environment by matrix remodeling and contraction. Here, we explore how interstitial fluid flow affects fibroblast-tumor cell interactions. Using a 3-dimensional invasion assay and MDA-MB-435S cells cocultured with dermal fibroblasts in a collagen matrix, we showed a synergistic enhancement of tumor cell invasion by fibroblasts in the presence of interstitial flow. Interstitial flow also drove transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and collagenase-dependent fibroblast migration, consistent with previously described mechanisms in which flow promotes invasion through autologous chemotaxis and increased motility. Concurrently, migrating fibroblasts enhanced tumor cell invasion by matrix priming via Rho-mediated contraction. We propose a model in which interstitial flow promotes fibroblast migration through increased TGF-β1

Introduction: The genesis of cancer appears to be a complex matter, which is not simply based upon few genetic abnormalities/alteration. In fact, irregular microvasculature and aberrant interstitium of solid tumors impose significant pathophysiologic barrier functions against cancer treatment modalities, hence novel strategies should holistically target bioelements of tumor microenvironment (TME). In this study, we provide some overview and insights on TME and important strategies used to control the impacts of such pathophysiologic barriers. Results: We reviewed all relevant literature for the impacts of tumor interstitium and microvasculature within the TME as well as the significance of the implemented strategies. Results: While tumorigenesis initiation seems to be in close relation with an emergence of hypoxia and alterations in epigenetic/genetic materials, large panoplies of molecular events emerge as intricate networks during oncogenesis to form unique lenient TME in favor of

Because it lacks a lymphatic circulation, the brain must clear extracellular proteins by an alternative mechanism. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) functions as a sink for brain extracellular solutes, but it is not clear how solutes from the brain interstitium move from the parenchyma to the CSF. We demonstrate that a substantial portion of subarachnoid CSF cycles through the brain interstitial space. On the basis of in vivo two-photon imaging of small fluorescent tracers, we showed that CSF enters the parenchyma along paravascular spaces that surround penetrating arteries and that brain interstitial fluid is cleared along paravenous drainage pathways. Animals lacking the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in astrocytes exhibit slowed CSF influx through this system and a ~70% reduction in interstitial solute clearance, suggesting that the bulk fluid flow between these anatomical influx and efflux routes is supported by astrocytic water transport. Fluorescent-tagged amyloid β, a peptide thought to be ...

Brain Tumor Focused Ultrasound Immunotherapy. In the setting of malignant lesions in the brain, therapeutic interventions are often met with the challenge of overcoming two major barriers: (1) the blood brain barrier (BBB) and (2) the blood tumor barrier (BTB). The BBB is a dense vascular network protecting the brain, which largely excludes that passage of most molecules - including drugs and antibodies - into the central nervous system. BTB is a term ascribed to the heterogeneously permeable vasculature and high interstitial fluid pressure characteristic of the tumor periphery. The application of MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRg-FUS) with concomitant delivery of microbubbles (MB) has been demonstrated to non-invasively induce safe, localized, transient BBB/BTB disruption. This perturbation of the tumor microenvironment has the potential to increase tumor accessibility and immunogenicity, which can in turn lead to more durable immune infiltration and activation. Thus, the goal of our ongoing ...

This randomized phase II trial provides further rationale supporting a compelling explanation for at least part of this resistance, namely very high interstitial concentrations of hyaluronan, he continued. These data also support the use of tumor HA as a potential predictive biomarker for patient selection in the ongoing, global phase III study of PAG versus AG in patients with HA-high PDA.. The HALO-202 trial was conducted in two stages. In stage 1 (March 2013 to April 2014), 146 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive PAG or AG -- but researchers observed an imbalance in thromboembolic events early in the study. The trial was subsequently put on hold and 29 patients receiving PAG continued treatment with AG alone. Seven of these patients went back on PEGPH20 therapy when stage 2 of the trial started (August 2014 to February 2016) with an amended protocol.. In stage 2, patients with thromboembolic events were excluded, enoxaparin (Lovenox) prophylaxis was initiated in both arms, and an ...

Animals and UVB irradiation. Mice made deficient in pol η by targeted deletion of exon 4 of the pol η gene were used in these experiments ( 9). These mice exhibit a well-defined and reproducible pattern of UVB light-induced carcinogenesis similar to human xeroderma pigmentosum variant (shown in detail in Figs. 4 and 5A of ref. 9). Pol η−/− and wild-type (WT) mice were UVB irradiated thrice a week at a dose of 3.75 kJ/m2 each time with a bank of two UVB lamps. UVB flux was measured by a UVX-31 digital radiometer (Blak-Ray lamp Model XX-15M and Model UVX-31, UV Products, Inc., Upland, CA). For all the experiments, Pol η−/− mice were used that had received ∼10 weeks of irradiation (and had developed hyperplastic/dysplastic lesions) or at least 5 months of irradiation (tumor stage) and compared with WT control mice that had received 3 or 5 months of irradiation..

Interstitial Flow in the Tumor Microenvironment: Contributions to Cancer Invasion and Progression. Cancer invasion and metastasis are major obstacles to successful therapeutic response. There are many contributing factors to the progression of cancer towards metastasis, including interactions with the surrounding microenvironment. Biophysical factors such as interstitial flow, mediated by increased drainage from the tumor, and matrix stiffening, mediated by activated fibroblasts, yield increased invasion of cancer cells and metastasis. In this talk, I will present data showing the role of interstitial flow in brain cancer invasion. I will provide evidence for a chemokine (CXCL12)-mediated mechanism, involving both increased cell motility and autologous chemotaxis, using in vitro 3D models of the tumor microenvironment. In order to understand the role of interstitial flow in vivo, I will present data involving manipulation of lymphangiogenesis in breast and skin cancer to alter drainage. Using ...

Recruitment of macrophages to sites of cell death is critical for induction of an immunologic response. Calcium concentrations in extracellular fluids vary markedly, and are particularly high at sites of injury or infection. We hypothesized that extracellular calcium participates in modulating the immune response, perhaps acting via the seven-transmembrane calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) on mature monocytes/macrophages. We observed a dose-dependent increase in monocyte chemotaxis in response to extracellular calcium or the selective allosteric CaR activator NPS R-467. In contrast, monocytes derived from mice deficient in CaR lacked the normal chemotactic response to a calcium gradient. Notably, CaR activation of monocytes bearing the receptor synergistically augmented the transmigration response of monocytes to the chemokine MCP-1 in association with increased cell-surface expression of its cognate receptor, CCR2. Conversely, stimulation of monocytes with MCP-1 or SDF-1α reciprocally increased ...

Method of Action. Potassium is principally found within cellular fluids and its counterpart, sodium, is mostly found within the extracellular fluids. The segregation of these two ions occurs by means of an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) driven pump. The pump consists of two proteins within the cellular membrane which, upon energy release from ATP, transport three sodium molecules to the outside of the cell membrane, while simultaneously bringing in two potassium molecules.. A similar pumping mechanism is used in the transport of glucose from the intestine into the bloodstream. High sodium concentrations in the intestinal fluids tend to promote the movement of sodium across the mucosal cells of the intestine. As sodium is moved across the cells, glucose is concomitantly moved into the cells. The concentration of glucose within the cells builds up until it begins to diffuse into the bloodstream. The pump mechanism pumps the sodium into the blood in exchange for potassium, thereby eliminating ...

s to protect the entry of. Chapter 8 T Cell-Mediated Immunity Once they have completed their development in the thymus , T cells enter the bloodstream and are carried by the circulation. The basics of B and T cell clonal selection and the various cellular interactions involved in the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses are the foundation knowledge of immunology needed for proceeding further in a study of virology. Cell-mediated immunity is an immune response that does not involve antibodies but rather involves the activation of macrophages, natural killer cells (NK), antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen. Humoral immunity (also called the antibody-mediated system) is the aspect of immunity that is mediated by macromolecules (as opposed to cell-mediated immunity) found in extracellular fluids such as secreted antibodies, complement proteins and certain antimicrobial peptides. This response is largely carried out by B-cells ...

In the audiovisual installations by the European label AntiVJ, interstitial space is presented as a series of dynamic immaterial ruptures. Large-scale installations such as Murcof+AntiVJ (2009) and 3Destruct (2007) visually break the confines of built architecture and autonomous spatial folds, through the projection of light onto invisible semi-transparent screens arranged in space. In this way, instead of being limited to the perimeter of the built space, the space between the built surfaces of architecture is utilised. As spectators walk through 3Destruct, they become disoriented in such a non-linear universe, the form of which, oscillates rapidly between weightless planar layerings and linear mazes of changing colour, opacity and density.. [10] In Murcof+AntiVJ, a rain of shattered and colliding geometries, rapidly contracted and expanded spatialities, emerges through the projection of digital visualisations onto a similar type of screens. In both audiovisual installations, space is ...

At the cellular level, the stress response involves the synthesis of a highly conserved family of heat shock proteins (Hsps). These proteins are essential for maintenance of cellular homeostasis, both in times of stress and in normal cell functioning. Some of the most abundant forms of Hsps in the cell are members of the 70 kDa family. Intracellular heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) expression in response to proteotoxicity is a highly conserved cellular stress response, but little is known about the role of extracellular Hsp70 (eHsp70) in fish. In order to begin characterizing eHsp70 in fish, the hypothesis that an acute stressor will elevate plasma Hsp70 levels in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was tested. Subsequent in vitro studies examined whether eHsp70 level was modulated by cortisol and if this involved the action of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), a ligand-activated transcription factor. The effect of cortisol on the eHsp70 response is important to consider because this steroid is ...

To assess the influence of the surface zone on the viscoelastic properties of cartilage under compressive loading, the authors prepared osteochondral plugs from skeletally mature steers, with and without the surface zone of articular cartilage, for study in the confined compression creep experiment. The relative contributions of two viscoelastic mechanisms, i.e. a flow-independent mechanism (Hayes and Bodine, ibid., vol.11, p407-19, 1978), and a flow-dependent mechanism (Mow et al., J. Biomech. Engng. ibid., vol.102, p.73-84, 1980), to the compressive creep response of these two types of specimens were determined using the biphasic poroviscoelastic theory proposed by (Mak., ibid., vol.20, p.703-14, 1986). From the experimental results and the biphasic poroviscoelastic theory, the authors found that frictional drag associated with interstitial fluid flow and fluid pressurization are the dominant mechanisms of load support in the intact specimens, i.e. the flow-dependent mechanisms alone with ...

Understanding the uptake of a drug by diseased tissue, and the drugs subsequent spatiotemporal distribution, are central factors in the development of effective targeted therapies. However, the interaction between the pathophysiology of diseased tissue and individual therapeutic agents can be complex, and can vary across tissue types and across subjects. Here, we show that the combination of mathematical modelling, high-resolution optical imaging of intact and optically cleared tumour tissue from animal models, and in vivo imaging of vascular perfusion predicts the heterogeneous uptake, by large tissue samples, of specific therapeutic agents, as well as their spatiotemporal distribution. In particular, by using murine models of colorectal cancer and glioma, we report and validate predictions of steady-state blood flow and intravascular and interstitial fluid pressure in tumours, of the spatially heterogeneous uptake of chelated gadolinium by tumours, and of the effect of a vascular disrupting agent on

Cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, which defines their extent and acts as a barrier between the cells and their external environment, for example interstitial fluid or blood plasma. The membrane, as a result of its lipid bilayer structure and specific membrane proteins, is selectively permeable (the hydrophobic interior prevents the passage of both large polar molecules and ions) and therefore will only allow certain species through. This selective permeability allows asymmetric concentrations of ions to exist between the intra- and extracellular fluids. These differences can be chemical or electrical (i.e. the difference in charge between the inside and outside). Most cells maintain a membrane potential of around 80mV relative to the surrounding fluid. The membrane potential is negative because usually cells have a net negative charge due to leakiness of potassium channels and the large size of negatively charged macromolecules such as proteins and RNA. In animal cells, passive ion ...

The humoral immune response, also known as the antibody-mediated immune response, targets pathogens circulating in extracellular fluids (lymph or the blood). It involves B-cells that recognize antigens of pathogens. The secretion of soluble antibodies by the antibody-secreting plasma cells causes the destruction of extracellular microorganisms, preventing the spread of intracellular infections. Immunization can be attained through this humoral response.. Every step of the humoral response can be monitored, offering multiple solutions to support antiviral therapies and vaccines discovery.. Vaccination and immunity are closley linked to inflammation. Cytokines, inflammatory pathways, and inflammatory mediators are the hallmarks of those processes. During infection, multiple pathways like NFKB, JAK-STAT and, MAP Kinase are activated to contribute to cell stimulation. IL-6, IL1β, TNFα and the different IFN (-γ, -α, -β), among others, can be at the origin of the activation of these pathways and ...

Starting from the 1970s, the world clinical practice switched the transfusion and infusion therapy priorities from the use of donor blood towards the use of blood substitute solutions. This circumstance is determined by a number of factors: the high therapeutic effectiveness of products, the lack of need to select drugs by group antigens and rhesus factor, good tolerance, almost no allergenic properties, low cost of products and, most importantly, the exception of the infectious diseases transmission risk (viral hepatitis, infectious mononucleosis, syphilis, AIDS, etc.).. In a healthy person the quantitative composition of blood varies slightly with age but it is significantly changed by various diseases. The violation of balance between the qualitative and quantitative composition of inorganic salts of intracellular and extracellular fluids takes place, i.e. the violation of water-electrolytic balance..

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a selective endothelial interface that controls trafficking between the bloodstream and brain interstitial space. During development, the BBB arises as a result of complex multicellular interactions between immature endothelial cells and neural progenitors, neurons, radial glia, and pericytes. As the brain develops, astrocytes and pericytes further contribute to BBB induction and maintenance of the BBB phenotype. Because BBB development, maintenance, and disease states are difficult and time-consuming to study in vivo, researchers often utilize in vitro models for simplified analyses and higher throughput. The in vitro format also provides a platform for screening brain-penetrating therapeutics. However, BBB models derived from adult tissue, especially human sources, have been hampered by limited cell availability and model fidelity. Furthermore, BBB endothelium is very difficult if not impossible to isolate from embryonic animal or human brain, restricting capabilities

We have incorporated the Paratrend 7 (P7) multiparameter sensor into our established multimodal monitoring of head injured patients, to investigate the relationship between brain and arterial pO2, pCO2, and pH, as well as defining thresholds for cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). A P7 sensor was inserted into the brain tissue of 40 adult head injured patients via a modified Camino bolt or triple lumen bolt. A second sensor was placed in the femoral artery for continuous monitoring of blood gases. Data signals from 19 monitored parameters were collected onto computer at the bedside for up to 14 days. No complications were seen. For individual patients the changes in brain tissue parameters showed large variations over 24 hours and the relationship between parameters varied considerably both between patients and during the period of monitoring any one individual.

Edema is a clinical condition characterized by an increase in interstitial fluid volume and tissue swelling that can be either localized or generalized. Severe generalized edema is known as anasarca. More localized interstitial fluid collections incl

Standard chemotherapy drugs have failed in large-scale clinical trials for melanoma. To date, the only Food and Drug Administration-approved drug for melanoma is the alkylating agent dacarbazine (DTIC), which when given as a single agent has a response rate of 5% to 10% (16). Novel approaches to melanoma therapy are therefore urgently needed. Recent work has focused on targeting signaling pathways which are known to be active in melanoma (7). Although many signaling cascades are known to be active in melanoma, most interest has centered on the BRAF/MEK/ERK pathway (2). Questions still remain over whether this pathway would represent a suitable therapeutic target in melanoma and there is still controversy on whether BRAF is a strong enough oncogene to drive melanocytic transformation (17). The finding that there are V600E BRAF mutations in nontumorigenic melanocytic nevi (18) then lacking in early-stage radial growth phase melanomas, only to appear at the later vertical growth phase melanomas ...
