A Mouse Model of Fluorescent Protein-expressing Disseminated Peritoneal Lymphoma for Fluorescence-guided Surgery.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) of tumors is an area of intense development. Peritoneally-disseminated cancer, however, represents a difficult surgical challenge. MATERIALS AND METHODS To help meet this challenge, EL4 mouse T-cell lymphoma cells expressing red fluorescent protein (RFP) were injected intraperitoneally in nude mice. RESULTS Two weeks after injection of EL4-RFP cells, established peritoneally-disseminated tumors were observed. FGS was performed using a hand-held portable fluorescence imaging system (Dino-Lite). FGS enabled detection of very small peritoneal disseminated tumors and completely resected them in contrast to bright-light which only partially detected the tumors. CONCLUSION The present report indicates the feasibility of FGS of peritoneally-disseminated cancer.

In vivo internal tumor illumination by telomerase-dependent adenoviral GFP for precise surgical navigation.
Cancer surgery requires the complete and precise identification of malignant tissue margins including the smallest disseminated lesions. Internal green fluorescent protein (GFP) fluorescence can intensely illuminate even single cells but requires GFP sequence transcription within the cell. Introducing and selectively activating the GFP gene in malignant tissue in vivo is made possible by the de...
متن کاملEnhanced resection of orthotopic red-fluorescent-protein-expressing human glioma by fluorescence-guided surgery in nude mice.
Malignant glioma is the most common type of primary central nervous system cancer. Gliomas are very difficult to completely resect due to their invasiveness. In the present study, we compared fluorescence-guided and standard bright-light resection of a human glioma orthotopically implanted in nude mice. U87 human glioma cells, expressing red fluorescent protein (RFP), were injected stereotactic...

Photoimmunotherapy (PIT) is a new cancer treatment that combines the specificity of antibodies for targeting tumors with the toxicity induced by photosensitizers after exposure to near infrared (NIR) light. We performed PIT in a model of disseminated gastric cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis and monitored efficacy with in vivo GFP fluorescence imaging. In vitro and in vivo experiments were condu...
متن کاملFluorescence-guided surgery for cancer patients: a proof of concept study on human xenografts in mice and spontaneous tumors in pets
Surgery is often the first treatment option for patients with cancer. Patient survival essentially depends on the completeness of tumor resection. This is a major challenge, particularly in cases of peritoneal carcinomatosis, where tumors are widely disseminated in the large peritoneal cavity. Any development to help surgeons visualize these residual cells would improve the completeness of the ...
متن کاملColor-coded Imaging Enables Fluorescence-guided Surgery to Resect the Tumor Along with the Tumor Microenvironment in a Syngeneic Mouse Model of EL-4 Lymphoma.
BACKGROUND/AIM Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) of cancer is an emerging technology. We have previously shown the importance of resecting both the tumor and the tumor microenvironment (TME) for curative FGS. We also previously developed a syngeneic model using the mouse lymphoma cell line EL-4, expressing red fluorescent protein (EL-4-RFP), growing in green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic...
