Researchers developed a new protocol to collect lymph and tumor-draining lymph in mouse models. This method aids in studying lymphatic metastasis and the lymph environment's impact on cancer progression.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Lymphatic Biology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Cancer cells spread through lymphatic vessels, influencing treatment decisions.
  • The lymphatic system's role in cancer progression and the impact of its environment are poorly understood.
  • Technical challenges in studying lymphatic vessels and collecting lymph hinder research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a detailed protocol for collecting lymph and tumor-draining lymph in mouse models.
  • To facilitate the study of cancer progression within the lymphatic system.
  • To enable analysis of lymph-derived cancer cells and the lymph environment.

Main Methods:

  • A step-by-step procedure for lymph collection from mice with orthotopic melanoma or breast cancer tumors.

  • Utilizes microsurgical techniques under a stereo microscope to access the cisterna chyli and tumor-draining lymphatics.
  • Involves inserting a glass cannula into lymphatic vessels for pure lymph collection.
  • Main Results:

    • A reproducible protocol for collecting pure lymph and tumor-draining lymph samples.
    • The collected lymph allows for sensitive multiomics analysis of lymph-derived cancer cells.
    • The protocol is adaptable for studying the lymph environment's influence on metastasis.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed protocol overcomes technical challenges in lymph collection for cancer metastasis research.
    • Enables in-depth investigation of the lymph environment's role in cancer progression.
    • Suitable for researchers with basic microsurgical skills, promoting wider adoption.
