    Beschreibung: Lymph node metastases in cancer patients are associated with tumor aggressiveness, poorer prognoses, and the recommendation for systemic therapy. Whether cancer cells in lymph nodes can seed distant metastases has been a subject of considerable debate. We studied mice implanted with cancer cells (mammary carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma) expressing the photoconvertible protein Dendra2. This technology allowed us to selectively photoconvert metastatic cells in the lymph node and trace their fate. We found that a fraction of these cells invaded lymph node blood vessels, entered the blood circulation, and colonized the lung. Thus, in mouse models, lymph node metastases can be a source of cancer cells for distant metastases. Whether this mode of dissemination occurs in cancer patients remains to be determined.

    Beschreibung: Capillary networks demonstrate structural changes during maturation, aging, vascular disease, and cancer. Their morphological structure and function have an important influence on each other. Understanding the process of morphological vascular changes in the capillary network with advancing age may help overcome fatal vascular diseases. Aging-related structural changes of the capillary segments may accompany degeneration and regeneration of muscle fibers and serve to remodel the capillary network as a means of adapting to the changing environment. However, difficulty in obtaining human samples has hampered clarification of these microstructural changes. Herein, we examined serial ultrathin sections of capillary segments in the extensor digitorum longus muscle of normal mature (12 months old) rats in an attempt to analyze their structural changes. After bifurcation, a minimum of one capillary segment was filled with erythrocytes and was found to have fenestrations and plural endothelial disruptions, or pores, at the fenestrated portions. Some of the stagnated erythrocytes demonstrated extended protrusions, and their processes appeared to penetrate the basal lamina through the pores. These findings can also show that capillary segments are involved in partial remodeling of the capillary network. A better understanding of age-related structural changes of the capillary networks will help in fine-tuning novel vascular therapy for not only several fatal vascular diseases but also malignant tumors.
