Cím:The effect of an amino acid-lowering diet on the rate of melphalan entry into brain and xenotransplanted glioma / Groothuis D. R., Lippitz B. E., Fekete I., Schlageter K. E., Molnar P., Colvin O. M., Roe C. R., Bigner D. D., Friedman H. S.

Megjegyzések:Melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard, L-PAM, alkeran; molecular weight, 305,000) is transported across tumor cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier by the large neutral amino acid (LNAA) transport system. Normally, plasma LNAA levels are high enough and the affinity low enough that this system does not transport much melphalan into the brain. However, plasma amino acids can be reduced by fasting and protein-free diet. We used this method to reduce competition and to increase melphalan transport into brain tumors. In nude mice fasted for 12 h and then fed a protein-free diet for 2 and 6 h, mean plasma LNAA levels were 46% and 42% of control values. Nude mice with xenotransplanted D-54MG human gliomas were used to study tissue distribution and uptake kinetics of [3H]melphalan in a control group and a diet group (after a 12-h fast and 2 h of a 0% protein diet). The K1 (blood-to-tissue transfer constant) of melphalan, determined by graphical analysis and by nonlinear fitting to a 2-compartment model, was higher in the diet group in all tumor regions except the necrotic center of subcutaneous tumors; the increase was significant in the tumor periphery of brain and s.c. tumors. The ratio of K1s (diet to control) varied from 1.2 to 1.3 in brain tumors, 1.9 to 2.1 in subcutaneous tumors, and 1.8 to 3.1 in tumor-free brain. The apparent [3H]melphalan distribution space was significantly higher in the tumor periphery of both brain and subcutaneous tumors of the 15- and 30-min diet group. We also measured blood-brain barrier transport of [alpha-14C]aminoisobutyric acid and blood flow (with [131I]iodoantipyrine): the K1 of [alpha-14C]aminoisobutyric acid was 28.1 +/- 6.6 (SE) in brain tumors and 24.3 +/- 8.9 microliters/g/min in subcutaneous tumors. Blood flow was 58.2 --> 3.9 in brain tumors and 5.2 +/- 0.4 ml/100 g/min in subcutaneous tumors. Fasting, when combined with a protein-free diet, reduces plasma amino acid levels and thereby reduces competition between melphalan and LNAAs. This may increase the amount of melphalan that can enter a brain tumor without increasing the administered drug dose and suggests a therapeutic manipulation that can be used to increase the delivery of melphalan.

Cím:Absence of host-site influence on angiogenesis, blood flow, and permeability in transplanted RG-2 gliomas / Molnar P., Fekete I., Schlageter K. E., Lapin G. D., Groothuis D. R.
Dátum:1999
ISSN:0090-9556
Megjegyzések:The host site is believed to regulate tumor angiogenesis, which could result in site-dependent drug delivery parameters, greatly affecting experimental tumor research. In RG-2 rat gliomas we measured cellular proliferation; cell cycle time was the same for RG-2 cells in brain and s.c. tumors (25 h), and was the same for endothelial cells in these tumors (46 h). We measured the transcapillary transfer constant (K) of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid and blood flow (F) with iodoantipyrine in RG-2 gliomas transplanted into brain, liver, kidney, muscle, s.c. tissue, and into the abdominal cavity. Data was evaluated by quantitative autoradiography and direct tissue sampling. The variation of F (12.6-84.0 ml/g/min) and K (26.1-49.2 microl/g/min) in RG-2 tumors in the different host sites was less than in surrounding tumor-free tissue (F = 20-1500 ml/g/min and K = 1.6-700 microl/g/min). In contrast to other models, RG-2 does not result in tumors with host site-dependent behavior. The RG-2 tumor cells appear to participate in, if not dominate, the angiogenesis process regardless of the host site. Values of F and K were more dependent on tumor topography (center versus periphery) and local histological features (necrosis versus viable tumor) than host site. We believe that the methods used for data acquisition may introduce as much variability in Results as the tumors themselves and that to better understand how tumor angiogenesis affects the vascular phenotype, comparative studies are needed to validate the results obtained with newer methodologies.
