PURPOSE Changes in tumor vascularization may be involved in tumor regression after anticancer treatments. We therefore studied the relationship between tumor vascularization and tumor response according to treatment by irradiation (RT), epirubicin (EPI), or antiangiogenic agent TNP-470 in a nitrosomethyl-ureas-induced rat mammary tumor model by measuring the changes in tumor blood flow using high-frequency Power-Doppler sonography. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Mammary tumors were induced in female Sprague-Dawley rats by a single s.c. injection of nitrosomethyl-ureas. After tumor areas reached 2 cm(2), the animals received four weekly injections of epirubicin (EPI group), or a single fraction of 18 Gy (RT group), or six injections of TNP-470 within 12 days (TNP group), or both (RT combined with TNP-470, RT+TNP group). Power-Doppler sonography quantification of tumor vascularization (PDI) was performed before and 12 days after initiation of treatment. Tumor shrinkage was later evaluated and compared with the early changes in PDI values. RESULTS Compared with the control group, EPI induced an arrest in tumor growth. A similar effect was obtained with TNP-470. There was a decrease in tumor area after RT, but administration of TNP-470 combined with RT did not further enhance this effect. Changes in tumor area paralleled changes in PDI in the EPI group. Furthermore, changes in PDI 7 days after RT were associated with further tumor change in the RT groups, whereas they were independent of the antitumor effect of TNP-470. CONCLUSIONS Changes in functional tumor vascularization evolution appeared to be closely associated with tumor regression after anticancer treatment.

In vivo assessment of anti-tumor activity of Methyl 2'-Methyl-1,3-dioxo-1,1',2',3,5',6',7',7a'-octahydrospiro[indene-2,3'-pyrrolizidine]-2' carboxylate (6) on 7,12 dimethylbenz(a) anthracene-induced mammary tumors in rat

Objective- Breast cancer is one of the most serious problems in oncology. Alkaloids pyrrolizidine are widely found in nature and exhibited versatile biological activities. The aim of the present study was to assess anti-tumor activity of methyl 1,3-dioxo-1,1',2',3,5',6',7',7a'-octahydrospiro[indene-2,3'-pyrrolizidine]-2'-carboxylate (6) on 7,12 dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary ...

Comparison the treatment effects between simultaneous dual frequency and single frequency irradiation of ultrasound in a murine model of breast adenocarcinoma

Introduction: Transient cavitations induced by low frequency irradiation of ultrasound can be used to treat tumors. Previous studies in in-vitro experiments have shown that induced cavitation by dual or multiple frequencies of ultrasound is greater than induced cavitation by single frequency irradiation. In this study, we compared and evaluated the treatment effects of dual frequency irradiatio...

Single dose gamma irradiation induced angiogenesis in rat skin hair follicles

Background: Hair follicle cycling usually associated with prominent changes in skin vascularization; through follicular dermal papilla production of angiogenic factors. The early response of hair follicles to ionizing irradiation (IR) is induction of early anagen hair and appearance of new hair formation. Material and Method: Fifty rats were equally divided into 2 groups; control and γ-rays (10...

Sensitization by dietary docosahexaenoic acid of rat mammary carcinoma to anthracycline: a role for tumor vascularization.

PURPOSE To investigate whether dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a peroxidizable polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, sensitizes rat mammary tumors to anthracyclines and whether its action interferes with tumor vascularization, a critical determinant of tumor growth. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Female Sprague-Dawley rats were initiated by N-methylnitrosourea to develop mammary tumors and then assig...
