Topical bFGF Improves Secondary Lymphedema through Lymphangiogenesis in a Rat Tail Model
BACKGROUND Secondary lymphedema is a common complication of cancer therapy, but options for treating lymphedema are essentially ineffective and limited. On the contrary, lymphangiogenic growth factors accelerate lymphangiogenesis and improve lymphedema. METHODS Rat tail models of lymphedema were assigned to groups that received either daily topical basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) or sal...
متن کاملExtracorporeal shock wave therapy induces therapeutic lymphangiogenesis in a rat model of secondary lymphoedema.
OBJECTIVE Lymphoedema is a common complication after cancer treatment. We have reported that low-energy extracorporeal shock wave (SW) therapy up-regulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in ischaemic myocardium. As VEGF plays an important role in lymphangiogenesis, we investigated whether our low-energy SW therapy enhances lymphangiogenesis in rats. METHODS We created a tail model ...
متن کاملThe concentration of kynurenine in rat model of asthma.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that involves the immune system activation. Evidence is accumulating about the role of kynurenine pathway in the immune system regulation. The kynurenine pathway includes several metabolites of tryptophan, among others kynurenine (KYN). To study the immunological system regulation in asthma a simple and sensitive models of asthma are required. In the pre...
متن کاملLymphangiogenesis and Anti-lymphangiogenesis in Cutaneous Melanoma.
Cutaneous malignant melanoma is an aggressive tumor characterized by early lymph node metastasis and bad prognosis. Although the spread of tumor cells in the regional lymph nodes is very important in the staging, prognosis and therapeutic strategy of malignant melanoma, the mechanism(s) of initial lymphatic vessels invasion is are) not completely understood. In the present review, we analyze th...
متن کاملA zebrafish model of inflammatory lymphangiogenesis
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disabling chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. IBD patients have increased intestinal lymphatic vessel density and recent studies have shown that this may contribute to the resolution of IBD. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in IBD-associated lymphangiogenesis are still unclear. In this study, we established a novel inflamma...
