Ascites01:19

Ascites

20
DefinitionAscites is the buildup of fluid inside the peritoneal cavity. It occurs when fluid moves out of the vascular system faster than the peritoneal lymphatics can remove it. This fluid shift is most commonly seen in liver cirrhosis but can also appear in several other systemic disorders.EtiologyCirrhosis remains the leading cause of ascites. Other conditions that can contribute include:Heart failureConstrictive pericarditisAbdominal cancersNephrotic syndromeSevere protein–calorie...

The Tumor Microenvironment02:17

The Tumor Microenvironment

6.3K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:22

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

1.8K
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair01:24

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair

8.4K
The immune system's inflammatory response destroys the invading pathogen, permitting the tissue to heal. The changes during the cellular and vascular stages allow exudate formation at the site of inflammation. The inflammatory exudate released from the wound has high protein content and a specific gravity above 1.020.
The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Ulcerative Colitis01:20

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Ulcerative Colitis

22
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the colon characterized by continuous mucosal inflammation that typically begins in the rectum and extends proximally in a uniform pattern. Its pathogenesis involves a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, immune dysregulation, and environmental influences. These factors converge to impair the colon’s epithelial defenses and promote an exaggerated inflammatory response against luminal contents.Breakdown of the Mucosal...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Immunology
  • Cancer Biology

Background:

  • Ehrlich tumor is an aggressive mammary adenocarcinoma.
  • It grows as Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) in mice peritoneal cavity.
  • Inflammation significantly modulates tumor progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the inflammatory response during Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) growth.
  • To characterize the cellular and molecular changes associated with EAT progression.
  • To validate the EAT model for anticancer drug screening.

Main Methods:

  • Balb/C mice were inoculated with Ehrlich cells.
  • Blood and ascitic fluid were collected for cell counts and biochemical analysis.
  • Flow cytometry (FACS), ELISA, and immunoblotting were used to analyze cell phenotypes, cytokines, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO), and enzyme expression (COX1, COX2, iNOS).

Main Results:

  • EAT growth led to increased ascites volume, protein, and leukocytes, with decreased erythrocytes.
  • Inflammatory monocytes (F4/80(+)GR1(+)) significantly increased during tumor progression.
  • Elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), IL-10, MCP-1, IL-1β, and iNOS/COX1 expression were observed.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a comprehensive characterization of the inflammatory response during EAT growth.
  • The findings support the Ehrlich ascites tumor model as a valuable tool for evaluating antitumor drugs.
  • Understanding the inflammatory dynamics is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
