Atomic absorption spectrometry revealed that DDP uptake was essentially identical, irrespective of cells being in monolayer or MTS. DDP's efficient cell kill effects in MTS seems to be explained by its good penetration into the MTS core. In contrast to DDP, these 2 types of cells responded differently to DXR.

Fluorescent microscopic study revealed that prominent DXR fluorescence was observed only at the outer layer of PC-10 MTS.

The investigations were performed in solid IgM immunocytoma bearing Lou/M Wsl rats. In this tumor system macrophage accumulation was observed during DXR and cisplatin induced tumor regression. Tumor-bearing rats were treated i.v. with 1 mg/kg DXR (either free or entrapped in liposomes) for 4 consecutive days. Changes in the cellular composition of the tumor were studied by histology and cytology comparing free and liposomal DXR treatment. Therapy with DXR-liposomes (lip DXR) induced macrophage accumulation similar to free DXR. No differences in cellular changes in the tumor between both types of treatment were found. The DXR-content of tumor-associated cells was measured at various times during treatment with free or lip DXR by means of flow cytometry. Most DXR-fluorescence was associated with dead cells and cellular debris. No clear-cut differences in DXR-content were found between macrophages isolated from tumors of free DXR treated animals and those isolated from lip DXR treated animals. In order to investigate whether DXR-liposomes are taken up by tumor tissue (either via macrophages or directly by the tissue itself), [3H]inulin-labeled DXR-liposomes were administered to tumor-bearing rats. The distribution of radiolabeled lip DXR in non-treated rats was compared with that in rats which were pretreated with non-radiolabeled lip DXR to induce macrophage accumulation. In both untreated and pretreated animals most of the administered 3H-dose was recovered in liver and spleen. Only a minor fraction was recovered from the tumor and other tissues. This fraction was not higher than that obtained when a comparable amount of free [3H]inulin was injected. In conclusion, this study suggests that DXR-liposomes do not enter the solid IgM immunocytoma, even when during therapy macrophages pass the endothelial barrier. Therefore, it is unlikely that macrophage-mediated transportation of DXR-liposomes into the tumor is involved in the mechanism of tumor regression induced by liposome-entrapped DXR.</p>","PeriodicalId":77686,"journal":{"name":"Cancer drug delivery","volume":"4 2","pages":"89-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/cdd.1987.4.89","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14552099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
