Kupffer cells decrease metastasis of colon cancer cells to the liver in the early stage.
Although Kupffer cells (KCs) play an important role in the liver's immune response, their role in colon cancer metastasis to the liver is unclear. We here analyzed the relationship between KCs and tumor cells (TCs) in colon cancer metastasis to the liver. Fischer 344 (F344) rats were divided into control group (KC+ group) and KC elimination group (KC‑ group), in which KC elimination was induced...
متن کاملJanus-faced Kupffer cells in tumor metastasis
Kupffer cells are the resident liver macrophages of the liver; other tissues also have resident immune cells e.g., microglia in the brain. These cells have a distinct embryonic lineage when compared with circulating myeloid cells. In both the liver and brain micro-environments activation of their resident immune cells results in the synthesis of multiple growth factors and cytokines which stimu...
متن کاملSynthesized Gd2O3 nanoparticles as contrast agent
Introduction: Gd (III) ion has been known to be the best metal ion in the periodic table that can be used as a T1 MRI contrast agent. Gadolinium have 7 unpaired electrons and these electrons can make magnetic area. No other metal ions possess unpaired electron more than this. CAs based on the element Gd are classified as “positive”, by opposition to “negative” CAs. Nowadays, G...
متن کاملThe role of MRI using liver-specific contrast agent in the assessment of focal liver lesion
Radiol Bras. 2014 Set/Out;47(5):VII–VIII In the last decade, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the use of intravenous extracellular contrast agents (for example, Gd-DTPA and Gd-DOTA) has been recognized as the noninvasive diagnostic tool of choice in the evaluation of focal liver lesions thanks to the fact that it does not require ionizing radiation in association with its high spatial reso...
متن کاملQuantitative Evaluation of Contrast Agent Dynamics in Liver MRI
Published articles have been reprinted with the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract ABSTRACT The studies presented here evaluate the biliary, parenchymal and vascular enhancement effects of two T1-shortening liver-specific contrast agents, Gd-BOPTA and Gd-EOB-DTPA, in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of healthy subjects and of patients. Ten healthy volunteers were examined with both co...
