Objective: To investigate the invasion and metastasis of glioma in vivo by xenotransplanted tumor established by implanting C6 glioma cells transfected with green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene
in vitro into the brain of SD rats. Methods: C6 cells were transfected with a plasmid vector (pEGEP-N3) containing the GFP gene. Stable
GFP-expressing clones were isolated and performed examination by flow cytometry and electron microscope. GFP-expressing cells
were stereotactically injected into the brain parenchyma of SD rats to establish xenotransplanted tumor. Four weeks later
rats were killed and continuous brain sections respectively were examined by HE staining, immunohistochemistry method and
fluorescence microscopy for detection of tumor cell invasion. Xenotransplanted tumor was primarily cultured to determine the
storage of exotic GFP gene in vivo. Results: There were not obvious changes in cell cycle and ultrastructure for the cells transfected with GFP gene. C6 cells
transfected with GFP gene maintained stable high-level GFP expression in the central nervous system during their growth in vivo. GFP fluorescence clearly demarcated the primary tumor margin and readily allowed for the detection of distant invasion on
the single-cell level, which was evidently superior to HE and immunohistochemistry staining. There was not GFP gene loss of
transfected cells in vivo. Conclusions: It is suggested that C6 cells transfected with GFP gene can be visualized by fluorescent microscopy after intracranial
implantation. This model is an excellent experimental animal model in research on invasion of glioma.

Summary Glioma cell invasion occurs in a complex micromilieu consisting of neural and glial cells, myelinated fiber tracts, blood vessels and extracellular matrix proteins. The present work describes the brain slice chamber (BSC) as a novel experimental model for assessing invasion of glioma cells into adult mammalian white and gray matter on the basis of the well known Boyden chamber system. As a matrix for invasive tumor cells we used freshly prepared brain tissue from adult pigs. The tissue was sectioned into 40 m slices that were mechanically fixed to a millipore filter. The neural structures and the three-dimensional architecture of the slice was preserved as verified by immunohistochemistry, light- and electron microscopy. Human U-373 and U87 astrocytoma cells stably transfected with green fluorescent protein (GFP) were assessed for their invasiveness into the brain-slices during a 24 h period. Invasion of U-87 GFP cells was quantified at different time intervals by confocal laser scanning microscopy showing more intense invasion into white compared to gray matter. Two cytostatics (vincristin and paclitaxel) which both are known to affect the cytoskeleton, inhibited glioma cell invasion in a dose dependent manner, which makes the presented model system suitable for functional experiments. In conclusion, the BSC represents a valid and rapid experimental model that may be used to describe the invasive behavior of glioma cells within the preserved three-dimensional structure of mammalian brain tissue in vitro. 相似文献

Glioma tumors are refractory to conventional treatment. Glioblastoma multiforme is the most aggressive type of primary brain tumors in humans. In this study, we introduce oxidative stress-energy depletion (OSED) therapy as a new suggested treatment for glioblastoma. OSED utilizes D-amino acid oxidase (DAO), which is a promising therapeutic protein that induces oxidative stress and apoptosis through generating hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). OSED combines DAO with 3-bromopyruvate (3BP), a hexokinase II (HK II) inhibitor that interferes with Warburg effect, a metabolic alteration of most tumor cells that is characterized by enhanced aerobic glycolysis. Our data revealed that 3BP induced depletion of energetic capabilities of glioma cells. 3BP induced H2O2 production as a novel mechanism of its action. C6 glioma transfected with DAO and treated with D-serine together with 3BP-sensitized glioma cells to 3BP and decreased markedly proliferation, clonogenic power and viability in a three-dimensional tumor model with lesser effect on normal astrocytes. DAO gene therapy using atelocollagen as an in vivo transfection agent proved effective in a glioma tumor model in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, especially after combination with 3BP. OSED treatment was safe and tolerable in SD rats. OSED therapy may be a promising therapeutic modality for glioma. 相似文献

Objective: To study the effect of antisense VEGF RNA on rat C6 gliomas in vivo and find out the feasibility of antiangiogenesis therapy with antisense VEGF RNA formalignant gliomas. Methods: Parental rat C6 glioma cells and C6 cells transfected with antisense VEGF cDNA were implanted intracerebrally and subcutaneously into SD rats as control and transfected group. Rats bearing cerebral and subcutaneous C6 gliomas were treated with antisense VEGF cDNA as treated group and sense VEGF cDNA and empty vector as control of treated group. The general manifestation, survival time, MRI and histopathological changes of all rats were observed. The volume of subcutaneously implanted tumors was determined regularly. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemical staining were used for detection of VEGF gene expression of gliomas while PCNA immunostaining and TUNEL method for examination of proliferation activity and apoptosis of gliomas, respectively. Results: The survival of the rats in transfected and treated group was prolonged.There were two rats surviving over 90 d in the treated group and their tumors disappeared. The VEGF gene expression, the number of microvessels and the proliferation activity were decreased and a large amount of apoptotic cells could be found in cerebral and subcutaneous gliomas in treated and transfected groups. Conclusion:VEGF is one of the candidate genes for gene therapy of malignant gliomas. Antisense VEGF RNA combined with other therapies should be studied further for enhancing the therapeutic effect of malignant gliomas. 相似文献

Malignant brain tumors are characterized by extensive tumor-cell infiltration into the normal brain tissue. The present work describes the migratory behavior of human glioma cells transplanted into the adult rat brain with the aim of exploiting the extent of active cell migration and passive cell displacement within the central nervous system. To detect every transplanted tumor cell, a stably bacterial β-galactosidase (loc-z) transfected human glioma cell line was used. To distinguish between an active cell migration process and passive cell displacement, rat brains were also implanted with inert fluorescent polystyrene microspheres and the distribution of tumor cells and micro- spheres was studied 1 hr and 3 days after implantation. One hour after implantation the tumor cells were strictly localized at the implantation site. However, 3 days after implantation, both tumor cells and microspheres showed an extensive distribution within the brain. Confirming earlier neuropathological and experimental studies, it is shown that the loc-z-transfected glioma cells had the capacity to move within the Virchow-Robin and subarachnoid spaces. However, since fluorescent micro-spheres were also found in these areas, this spread of tumor cells may be primarily mediated by the extensive cerebrospinal fluid flow that exists within the brain. Three days after implantation, the glioma cells also showed an active migration over the corpus callosum. In comparison, the fluorescent microspheres showed only limited spread along the callosal body. It is concluded that the bacterial lac-z gene can be stably transfected into human glioma cells and, since every tumor cell can be visualized within the brain, this model provides a tool for studying the mechanisms behind tumor-cell invasion of the brain. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

In vivo tumor delivery of the green fluorescent protein gene to report future occurrence of metastasis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Hasegawa S Yang M Chishima T Miyagi Y Shimada H Moossa AR Hoffman RM 《Cancer gene therapy》2000,7(10):1336-1340
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was administered to intraperitoneally (i.p.) growing human stomach cancer in nude mice to visualize future regional and distant metastases. GFP retroviral supernatants were injected i.p. from day 4 to day 10 after i.p. implantation of the cancer cells. Tumor and metastasis fluorescence was visualized every other week with the use of fluorescence optics via a laparotomy on the tumor-bearing animals. At 2 weeks after retroviral GFP delivery, GFP-expressing tumor cells were observed in gonadal fat, greater omentum, and intestine, indicating that these primary i.p. growing tumors were efficiently transduced by the GFP gene and could be visualized by its expression. At the second and third laparotomies, GFP-expressing tumor cells were observed to have spread to lymph nodes in the mesentery and other regional sites. At the fourth laparotomy, widespread tumor growth was visualized by GFP expression, inducing liver metastasis. No normal tissues were found to be transduced by the GFP retrovirus. Thus, reporter gene transduction of the primary tumor enabled detection of its subsequent metastasis. This gene therapy model could be applied to primary tumors before resection or other treatment to have a fluorescent early detection system for metastasis and recurrence. 相似文献

Orthotopic Transplant Mouse Models with Green Fluorescent Protein-expressing Cancer Cells to Visualize Metastasis and Angiogenesis 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Robert M. Hoffman 《Cancer metastasis reviews》1998,17(3):271-277
There have been major efforts in metastasis research in recent years, especially on the role of angiogenesis in the metastatic
process. Much of the information in this area has been obtained from model systems that are not representative of clinical
cancer. The technique of surgical orthotopic implantation (SOI) has allowed the development of clinically relevant metastatic
models of human cancer in immunodeficient rodents such as the nude and SCID mouse. In order to allow direct visualization
of the metastatic process, we took advantage of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) of the jellyfish, Aequorea victoria. A
series of cancer cell lines have been stably transfected with vectors containing humanized GFP cDNA. To utilize GFP expression
for metastasis studies, fragments of subcutaneously growing tumor, which were comprised of GFP-expressing cells, were implanted
by SOI in nude mice. Subsequent metastases were visualized in systemic organs by GFP fluorescence in the lung, liver, bones,
brain and other organs down to the single-cell level. With this fluorescent tool, we detected and visualized for the first
time tumor cells at the microscopic level in fresh viable tissue in their normal host organs even in the live animal. Angiogenesis
is readily visualized in the transplanted GFP-expressing tumors in real time in situ in the live animal using simple laparotomy
and fluorescent techniques. The results with the GFP-transfected tumor cells, combined with the use of SOI, demonstrate a
fundamental advance to visualize and study cancer metastasis and the role of angiogenesis and other factors in the metastatic
process.

Lymph node metastasis of oral cancer visualized in live tissue by green fluorescent protein expression 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Here, we report the establishment of a stably transfected cell line which expresses high levels of green fluorescent protein (GFP), thus permitting the detection and visualization of developing tumors and lymph node metastases after injection into nude mice. Cells of the human oral squamous carcinoma cell line (SAS-L1) were transfected with an expression vector containing a cDNA encoding humanized GFP and the neomycin resistance gene. A clone with stable high-level expression of GFP was selected in vitro using G418. To study metastasis formation, GFP-expressing cells were injected orthotopically into the tongue of nude mice. The resultant tumor growth in the tongue and micrometastases in the lymph nodes could be visualized by GFP fluorescence. Therefore a useful model has been developed for the study of oral cancer, firstly to understand the metastatic process and secondly for the evaluation of potential treatments. 相似文献
