| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are few pre-clinical studies of early diagnosis and treatment for lymph node (LNM). The reasons mainly are due to the lack of a noninvasive imaging system capable of monitoring metastasis over time in an appropriate animal model. We developed MXH10/Mo/lpr mice, which develop systemic swelling of LNs up to 10 mm in diameter. Here we show using MXH10/Mo/lpr mice that we developed an ultrasound/micro-CT system which consists of a high-frequency ultrasound system and a micro-CT system, and a lymphatic drug delivery system (LDDS) using acoustic liposomes (ALs) and ultrasound (US). Vascular distribution in the metastatic LNs can qualitatively expressed by the ultrasound/micro-CT system at the early stage of LNM. While, the LDDS using US and ALs delivered doxorubicin into metastatic LNs, resulting in an effective treatment for early metastatic LNs. We anticipate that our methodology could be applied clinically for early metastatic LNs.
