OBJECTIVE
The aim of this investigation was to quantitatively compare the novel positron emission tomography (PET) hypoxia marker 2-(2-nitroimidazol-1-yl)-N-(3[(18)F],3,3-trifluoropropyl)acetamide ([(18)F]EF3) with the reference hypoxia tracer [(18)F]fluoromisonidazole
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma of adolescence and childhood. Because RMS tumors are highly vascularized, we sought to determine which factors secreted by RMS cells are crucial in stimulating angiogenesis in response to hypoxia. To address this issue, we evaluated
Tumor cells residing in tumor hypoxic zones are a major cause of drug resistance and tumor relapse. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of evofosfamide, a hypoxia-activated prodrug, and its combination with topotecan in neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma preclinical models.
Neuroblastoma and
Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) express CXCR4 and CXCR7 receptors that bind prometastatic alpha-chemokine stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1). In this report, we analyzed the activity of both promoters in a model of less metastatic human embryonal-RMS cell line (RD) and more metastatic alveolar-like RMS (RD
Recent data suggest that patients with more hypoxic solid tumors are more likely to develop metastases and die. We speculated that upregulation of the metastasis-associated type IV collagenase MMP-9 (gelatinase B) by hypoxia might be correlated with the increased risk of distant failure in patients
Adenosine and its receptors are involved deeply in the regulation of tumour biology. Purine nucleotides are released from stressed cells in states of hypoxia or radiochemotherapy-induced cell damage. Adenosine exerts its effect through the P1 family of selective receptors. The purpose Intra-oral masses in neonates can seriously compromise the airway, potentially causing hypoxia and death if not recognized and managed appropriately. We report a case in which an intra-oral mass was diagnosed on antenatal ultrasound scan. Preparation for delivery involved a multidisciplinary team
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the potential effects of tumor hypoxia induced by afterloading catheter implantation on the effectiveness of brachytherapy in a rat tumor model.
METHODS
Afterloading catheters (4) were implanted in subcutaneously growing R1M rhabdomyosarcoma in female Wag/Rij rats. A
Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using apathogenic clostridia as a promising strategy for hypoxia-specific tumour targeting. The present study shows that the use of the vascular targeting compound combretastatin A-4 phosphate could significantly (P<0.001) increase the number of
Potential anticancer therapy with the fumagillin analog TNP-470 was investigated in the present project using subcutaneously growing rhabdomyosarcomas in rats. Specifically, influences of different tumor sizes at the start of treatment as well as dose/schedules were evaluated with this angiogenesis
Metformin, a well-known insulin-sensitizer commonly used for type 2 diabetes therapy, has recently emerged as potentially very attractive drug also in oncology. It is cheap, it is relatively safe and many reports have indicated effects in cancer prevention and therapy. These desirable features are
Although advances have been made in understanding the role of hypoxia in the stem cell niche, almost nothing is known about a potentially similar role of hypoxia in maintaining the tumor stem cell (TSC) niche. Here we show that a highly tumorigenic fraction of side population (SP) cells is localized
Acute hypoxia is often induced in rodent tumors during studies of the oxygenation or the therapeutic responses of the tumors, either by clamping the blood supply to the tumors or by asphyxiating the hosts with nitrogen. Analyses of data from such experiments generally assume that these processes
Angiogenesis is one of the critical steps in tumor growth and metastasis. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether the antitumor activity of CCI-779 is related to antiangiogenic effects in vivo in tumors of mice bearing human rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) xenografts. We now demonstrate that CCI-779
Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is the major transcription factor and key regulator of adoptive responses to hypoxia. Although it usually promotes tumor cell survival under hypoxia, it has also been implied to trigger apoptosis. Although the impact of hypoxia has been extensively studied in many
