Labeling fibroblasts with biotin‐BSA‐GdDTPA‐FAM for tracking of tumor‐associated stroma by fluorescence and MR imaging

Abstract: Fibroblasts at the tumor-host interface can differentiate into myofibroblasts and pericytes, and contribute to the guidance and stabilization of endothelial sprouts. After intravenous administration of biotin-BSA-GdDTPA-FAM in mice with subcutaneous MLS human ovarian carcinoma tumors, the distribution of the macromolecular MRI/optical contrast material was confined to blood vessels in normal tissues, while it co-registered with ␣SMA-positive stroma tracks within the tumor. These ␣SMA-positive tumor-associated … Show more

“…MRI tracking of cell recruitment was achieved by labeling the fibroblasts with biotin-BSA-GdDTPA. The prolonged in vivo visibility of the signal arising from biotin-BSA-GdDTPAloaded fibroblasts is consistent with our previous in vitro studies (43) and enabled serial in vivo follow-up of fibroblast migration and recruitment to the tumor. Local and systemic recruitment of fibroblasts to s.c. ovarian carcinoma xenografts was detected by MRI and validated by in vivo near-IR imaging, revealing labeled fibroblasts at the tumor region, whereas no labeled cells could be detected in the contralateral tumor-free limb or in limbs of tumorfree mice.…”

“…The adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation ability of MSC was determined as described previously. 34 Human fibroblasts, isolated from dermas as described 35 and used as control, were maintained in DMEM (Sigma) with 10% FCS (Euroclone, Wetherby, UK). …”
