Longitudinal in vivo susceptibility contrast MRI measurements of LS174T colorectal liver metastasis in nude mice

Abstract: Purpose: To characterize longitudinal tumor progression in a murine orthotopic model of liver metastasis using susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods:Nude mice were inoculated intrasplenically with LS174T colorectal carcinoma cells 24 hours postadministration of 2.5 mgFe/kg of the ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particle preparation feruglose. Contiguous T 2 and T 2 *-weighted multislice MR images were acquired 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 days postinoculation to … Show more

“…What are the most appropriate preclinical modalities and how does one optimize them for our given task—non-invasive study of liver metastases? Preclinical studies of mouse models of liver cancer have used several imaging modalities: positron emission tomography (PET) (2), bioluminescence imaging (3) (4), computed tomography (CT) (5), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (6) (7) (8), albeit independently. PET provides excellent functional information regarding tumor metabolism.…”

“…Orthotopically propagated human prostate tumours have been found to metastasise more easily, and are associated with greater vascular volume and permeability, a higher proliferative index and lower extracellular pH than equivalent subcutaneous xenografts 26. The exploitation of orthotopic murine tumour models, coupled with non‐invasive MRI, represents a powerful symbiotic preclinical research tool for the longitudinal investigation of disease progression and response in small animal cohorts 27…”

“…26 The exploitation of orthotopic murine tumour models, coupled with non-invasive MRI, represents a powerful symbiotic preclinical research tool for the longitudinal investigation of disease progression and response in small animal cohorts. 27 In this study, the vascular architecture of orthotopically propagated prostate tumour xenografts was assessed in vivo prior to, and following, treatment with the vascular disrupting agent ZD6126 using susceptibility contrast MRI. A novel Bayesian hierarchical model was used to maximise the inferential power of the MRI data and improve the accuracy and precision of individual parameter estimates.…”

“…Magnetic resonance imaging enables the longitudinal observation of tumor progression, dose‐ and time‐dependent therapeutic effects. Furthermore, our sequential experimental design, facilitated by MRI, allows the achievement of the same statistical power when analysing tumor volume or number as conventional designs while utilizing fewer animals .…”
