Background and purpose: The poor delivery of drugs to infiltrating tumor cells contributes to therapeutic failure in glioblastoma. During the early phase of an anti-angiogenic treatment, a remodeling of the tumor vasculature could occur, leading to a more functional vessel network that could enhance drug delivery. However, the restructuration of blood vessels could increase the proportion of normal endothelial cells that could be a barrier for the free diffusion of drugs. The net balance, in favor or not, of a better delivery of compounds during the course of an antiangiogenic treatment remains to be established. This study explored whether cediranib and thalidomide could modulate perfusion and vessel permeability in the brain U87 tumor mouse model. Methods: The dynamic evolution of the diffusion of agents outside the tumor core using the fluorescent dye Evans Blue in histology and Gd-DOTA using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI. CD31 labelling of endothelial cells was used to measure the vascular density. Results and interpretation: Cediranib and thalidomide effectively reduced tumor size over time. The accessibility of Evans Blue outside the tumor core continuously decreased over time. The vascular density was significantly decreased after treatment while the proportion of normal vessels remained unchanged over time. In contrast to histological studies, DCE-MRI did not tackle any significant change in hemodynamic parameters, in the core or margins of the tumor, whatever the parameter used or the pharmacokinetic model used. While cediranib and thalidomide were effective in decreasing the tumor size, they were ineffective in transiently increasing the delivery of agents in the core and the margins of the tumor. |
