Abstract :
[fr] OBJECTIF: Des anomalies structurales et fonctionnelles dans le réseau vasculaire tumoral sont considérés comme des facteurs de résistance des tumeurs solides et à des traitements cytotoxiques. To increase the efficacy of anticancer treatments, efforts must be made to find new strategies for transiently opening the tumor vascular bed to alleviate tumor hypoxia (source of resistance to radiotherapy) and improve the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents. Pour augmenter l'efficacité des traitements anticancéreux, les efforts doivent être déployés pour trouver de nouvelles stratégies pour l'ouverture transitoire de la tumeur vasculaire à atténuer l'hypoxie tumorale (source de résistance à la radiothérapie) et améliorer la prestation des agents chimiothérapeutiques. We hypothesized that Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) could interfere with neurotransmitter release at the perivascular sympathetic varicosities, leading to inhibition of the neurogenic contractions of tumor vessels and therefore improving tumor perfusion and oxygenation. Nous avons supposé que neurotoxine botulique de type A (BoNT-A) pourrait interférer avec la libération des neurotransmetteurs à la bienveillance varicosités périvasculaire, conduisant à une inhibition des contractions neurogène des vaisseaux de la tumeur et donc d'améliorer la perfusion et l'oxygénation tumorale. <br /> <br />EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: To test this hypothesis, BoNT-A was injected locally into mouse tumors (fibrosarcoma FSaII, hepatocarcinoma transplantable liver tumor), and electron paramagnetic resonance oximetry was used to monitor pO(2) in vivo repeatedly for 4 days. CONCEPTION EXPERIMENTALE: Pour tester cette hypothèse, la BoNT-A ont été injectés localement dans les tumeurs de souris (fibrosarcome FSaII, tumeur du foie hépatocarcinome transplantable), et la résonance paramagnétique électronique oxymétrie a été utilisé pour surveiller pO (2) in vivo de façon répétée pendant 4 jours. Additionally, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure tumor perfusion in vivo. En outre, de contraste d'imagerie par résonance magnétique a été utilisée pour mesurer la perfusion tumorale in vivo. Finally, isolated arteries were mounted in wire myograph to monitor specifically the neurogenic tone developed by arterioles that were co-opted by the surrounding growing tumor cells. Enfin, les artères isolées ont été montés dans myographe fil pour suivre spécifiquement le ton neurogène développée par artérioles qui ont été cooptés par la croissance des cellules tumorales environnantes. <br /> <br />RESULTS: Using these tumor models, we showed that local administration of BoNT-A (two sites; dose, 29 units/kg) substantially increases tumor oxygenation and perfusion, leading to a substantial improvement in the tumor response to radiotherapy (20 Gy of 250-kV radiation) and chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, 50 mg/kg). RÉSULTATS: L'utilisation de ces modèles de tumeurs, nous avons montré que l'administration locale de la BoNT-A (deux sites; dose, 29 unités / kg) augmente considérablement l'oxygénation tumorale et de la perfusion, conduisant à une amélioration substantielle de la réponse tumorale à la radiothérapie (20 Gy de 250 kV rayonnement) et la chimiothérapie (cyclophosphamide, 50 mg / kg). This observed therapeutic gain results from an opening of the tumor vascular bed by BoNT-A because we showed that BoNT-A could inhibit neurogenic tone in the tumor vasculature. Cette thérapeutique résultats gain observé à partir d'une ouverture de la tumeur vasculaire par BoNT-A, car nous avons montré que la BoNT-A pourrait empêcher ton neurogène dans la vascularisation des tumeurs. <br /> <br />CONCLUSIONS: The opening of the vascular bed induced by BoNT-A offers a way to significantly increase the response of tumors to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: L'ouverture du lit vasculaire induite par la BoNT-A offre un moyen d'augmenter significativement la réponse des tumeurs à la radiothérapie et la chimiothérapie.
