摘要
We created an experimental model of pulmonary metastasis based on subcutaneously implanted Lewis lung cancer in mice and observed in vivo the microcirculation of spontaneously metastasized tumors in the lung. The mice lung was held by a small handmade suction ring to stop cardiac and respiratory movement. Using fluorescent microscopy, tumor microcirculation and normal lung microcirculation in the same lung lobe were compared by measuring microvessel diameter and blood flow velocity [red blood cell (rbc) velocity]. In normal microcirculation, the mean values of microvessel diameter and rbc velocity were 10.4 +/- 2.7 mu m and 188 +/- 63 mu m/s, respectively. In tumor microcirculation, the mean values of the same were 10.6 +/- 3.3 mu m and 105 +/- 40 mu m/s. The rbc velocity in normal microcirculation was significantly higher (P < 0.001) than that in tumor microcirculation. The calculated shear rates of normal microcirculation and tumor microcirculation were 73.4 +/- 23.4 (/s) and 41.2 +/- 16.1 (/s), respectively. The shear rate of the tumor microcirculation was significantly slower (P < 0.001) than that of the normal microcirculation. We demonstrated a feasibility of observation and measurement of tumor microcirculation in the lung and confirmed that the physiologic data were compatible to those in the brain or in the liver reported by others. This model might be useful for studying metastatic tumor pathophysiology in the lung microcirculation. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
