Differential uptake of systemic fluorochrome Hoechst 33342 in lung and liver metastasis of B16 melanoma.
1992
The growth and vascularization patterns of B16 melanoma colonies in the liver and lungs were measured and compared by histological techniques and dye diffusion patterns after injection of the fluorochrome Hoechst 33342. In the liver, the fluorescent pattern of dye diffusion revealed that uninodular tumours measuring up to 146 microns in diameter were not functionally vascularized. However, when the nodules fused to give rise to multinodular tumours measuring between 256 and 366 microns in diameter, a reticular dye diffusion pattern revealed functional tumour vascularization. In the lungs, subpleural, parenchymal and peritubular (i.e. surrounding blood vessels and airways) tumours were obser…
Morpho-functional study of vascular fluorochrome delivery to lung and liver metastases of Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL).
1991
The growth of 3LL liver and lung metastases related to Its vascular organization was studied by morphological and functional methods, using the Hoechst 33342 fluorescent DNA staining technique. Experimental liver and lung metastases were produced in syngeneic C57BL/6 mice by injection of 3LL tumor cells into a lateral tail vein or into the spleen, respectively. The resulting neoplasms were composed of large cells arranged in sheets with a thin irregularly distributed stroma. Scattered blood vessels with an open or closed lumen were observed within the tumor. Functional study of H33342 diffusion showed a single and reticular fluorescent pattern in liver metastases. In contrast, in lung meta…
