Mechanisms Of Adhesion

The relative roles of adhesion and locomotion in malignancy have yet to be clearly established. In a tumor, subpopulations of cells may be recognized according to their capacity to invade neighbouring tissue,or to enter the blood stream and metastasize. The mechanisms of adhesion and locomotion are themselves tightly linked to the cytoskeletal apparatus and cell surface topology, including expression of integrin receptors. In our studies on melanomas with Fluorescent Microscopy (FM) and Cell Sorter(FACS), we noticed that cells in cultures derived from metastases had more numerous actin bundles, then cells from primary foci. Following this track, we attempted to develop technology allowing to compare ultrastructure of these cells using correlative Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM) and Low Voltage Scanning Electron Microscopy(LVSEM).

Heat Shock Induction

Heat shock inductors have potential as treatment for degenerative and protein misfolding diseases. Dimethyl-sulfoxide is widely used as a solvent in pharmacological screening tests and has been shown to have heat shock induction effects. Transgenic Tg (hsp70l:EGFP-HRAS_G12V)io3(AB) zebrafish larvae were exposed for 24 hours to dimethyl-sulfoxide in concentratios of 0.1-2%, and to moderate heat shock inductors pentoxifylline and tacrolimus. Positive controls were exposed to 35, 38 and 40�C for 20 min, and incubated for 24 h at 28�C. Heat shock response was measured by fluorescence microscopy and signal intensity quantification in FIJI. Dimethyl-sulfoxide caused a dose-dependant increase in fluorescent intensity, but significantly lower compared with exposure to 38 and 40�C. Pentoxifylline and tacrolimus induced a significantly higher increase in fluorescence compared with 0.5% dimethyl-sulfoxide. Thus, although dimethyl-sulfoxide has independent heat shock induction effects, concentrations of up to 0.5% are suitable for heat shock response screening tests.

Internal Body

Nanoparticles may invade directly into the internal body through the respiratory or digestive system and diffuse inside body. The behavior of nanoparticles in the internal body is also essential to comprehend for the realization of DDS. Thus it is necessary to reveal the internal dynamics for the proper treatments and biomedical applications of nanoparticles. In the present study the plural methods with different principles such as X-ray scanning analytical microscope (XSAM), MRI and Fluorescent microscopy were applied to enable the observation of the internal diffusion of micro/nanoparticles in the (1) whole body level, (2) inner organ level and (3) tissue and intracellular level. Chemical analysis was also done by ICP-AES for organs and compared with the results of XSAM mapping.
