Invadopodia formation in blood clots
Blood clotting specifically supports the metastatic dissemination of malignant cells to the lung. We have recently demonstrated that 2 tumor types that are prone to form lung metastases, renal cell carcinoma and soft tissue sarcoma, share specific adhesive mechanisms that support the invasion and colonization of blood clots in the pulmonary vasculature.
متن کاملNanodroplet-Mediated Histotripsy for Image-guided Targeted Ultrasound Cell Ablation
This paper is an initial work towards developing an image-guided, targeted ultrasound ablation technique by combining histotripsy with nanodroplets that can be selectively delivered to tumor cells. Using extremely short, high-pressure pulses, histotripsy generates a dense cloud of cavitating microbubbles that fractionates tissue. We hypothesize that synthetic nanodroplets that encapsulate a per...
متن کاملTurbulent axially directed flow of plasma containing rt-PA promotes thrombolysis of non-occlusive whole blood clots in vitro.
The rate of thrombolysis markedly decreases after a thrombosed vessel is partly recanalized and the remaining clot poses serious risk for rethrombosis. We studied in vitro how thrombolysis depends on penetration of plasma containing thrombolytic agents - 0.2 micro g/ml rt-PA or 250 IU/ml streptokinase (SK) - and the magnetic resonance contrast agent Gd-DTPA (at 1 mmol/l) into non-occlusive clot...
متن کاملContraction of Blood Clots Is Impaired in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
OBJECTIVE Obstructive thrombi or thrombotic emboli are the pathogenic basis of ischemic stroke. In vitro blood clots and in vivo thrombi can undergo platelet-driven contraction (retraction), resulting in volume shrinkage. Clot contraction can potentially reduce vessel occlusion and improve blood flow past emboli or thrombi. The aim of this work was to examine a potential pathogenic role of clot...
متن کاملCombination of ultrasound and rtPA enhances fibrinolysis in an In Vitro clot system
BACKGROUND Catheter-based lysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) is a well-established therapy for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The effectiveness of this therapy can be increased with ultrasound, but the optimal conditions are not yet clearly established. Using a novel in vitro system of blood clots previously developed by our group, we investigated various pa...
