Abstract:
:Tissue oxygenation influences the radiation response of tumors. To further investigate the underlying mechanisms of tumor hypoxia, the spatial distribution of hypoxic cells in relation to the vasculature was studied. In a panel of three human glioma xenograft lines (E2, E102, E106) with different growth characteristics, tumor line-specific patterns of hypoxia (pimonidazole) and (functional) vasculature (Hoechst 33342) were observed. Two of the three glioma lines showed a more homogeneous distribution of perfused vessels (E102 and E106) than the third glioma line (E2). Although all tumors showed hypoxia, the distance at which the steepest part of the gradient of the hypoxia marker was found varied significantly among the different glioma lines. The faster-growing E102 tumors had the longest distance (>300 microm). These results indicate that tumor line-specific factors, rather than vascular geometry alone, may determine the oxygenation status of a tumor. As a consequence, vascular density cannot be used as a surrogate parameter for tumor hypoxia when comparing different tumors. Additional hypoxia and perfusion markers will further improve our understanding of changes in tumor physiology at the microregional level explaining the relationship between the low oxygen levels and the response of tumors to treatment.
