Experimental Metastasis Assay


JoVE 1942 8/24/2010

1Department of Biomedical Genetics, University of Rochester Medical Center, 2Department of Dermatology, University of Rochester Medical Center

This article describes the procedures of an experimental metastasis assay that is used to determine the metastatic potential of human cancer cell lines.

 

Experimental Metastasis and CTL Adoptive Transfer Immunotherapy Mouse Model


JoVE 2077 11/26/2010

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Medical College of Georgia

An experimental lung metastasis and CTL immunotherapy mouse model for analysis of tumor cells-T cell interaction in vivo.

 

Monitoring Tumor Metastases and Osteolytic Lesions with Bioluminescence and Micro CT Imaging


JoVE 2775 4/14/2011

Imaging Biology Research and Development, Caliper Life Sciences

An experimental mouse model of bone metastasis was established following intracardiac delivery of luciferase expressing mammary tumor cells. Tumor development and resulted osteolytic lesion were monitored longitudinally with bioluminescence and micro CT imaging.

 

Quantitative Analysis of Cancer Metastasis using an Avian Embryo Model


JoVE 2815 5/30/2011

1Department of Pathology, Vanderbilt University , 2Departments of Oncology, Surgery and Medical Biophysics, London Regional cancer program

Using quantitative PCR, we demonstrate how the well-established chick CAM model can be used to quantitatively analyze the metastasis of human tumor cells to distant organs.

 

In vivo Dual Substrate Bioluminescent Imaging


JoVE 3245 10/11/2011

Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, Case Western Reserve University

Herein we describe the methods to construct, visualize, and quantify the bioluminescent reactions of both firefly and renilla luciferase enzymes expressed in metastatic breast cancer cells during their growth and metastasis in vivo.

 

A Real-time Electrical Impedance Based Technique to Measure Invasion of Endothelial Cell Monolayer by Cancer Cells


JoVE 2792 4/01/2011

Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, Georgetown University

This article describes an in vitro technique for monitoring cancer cells invading through a monolayer of endothelial cells. The data is acquired in real-time as a function of changes in impedance on the surface of electrodes at the well bottom.

 

Right Hemihepatectomy by Suprahilar Intrahepatic Transection of the Right Hemipedicle using a Vascular Stapler


JoVE 1750 1/25/2010

Department of General, Visceral, and Transplant Surgery, Tübingen University Hospital

This video describes a right hemihepatectomy with intrahepatic transection of the right hemipedicle leaving the hepatoduodenal ligament completely untouched.

 

Orthotopic Mouse Model of Colorectal Cancer


JoVE 484 12/04/2007

1Department of Surgery, University of California, San Francisco - UCSF, 2Department of Pathology, Stanford University School of Medicine

Two techniques can be used to establish this model: injection of a cancer cell suspension into the cecal wall or transplantation of a piece of subcutaneous tumor onto the cecum. This model is useful for studying the natural progression of colorectal cancer and testing new therapeutic agents against colorectal cancer.

 

Murine Bioluminescent Hepatic Tumour Model


JoVE 1977 7/17/2010

1Cork Cancer Research Centre, Mercy University Hospital and Leslie C. Quick Jnr. Laboratory, University College Cork, 2Department of Computer Science, University College Cork, 3South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital

This article describes a procedure for the induction of orthotopic bioluminescent liver tumours in mice, and subsequent analysis of tumour growth confined to the liver using live whole body luminescence imaging.

 

Multi-photon Imaging of Tumor Cell Invasion in an Orthotopic Mouse Model of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma


JoVE 2941 7/25/2011

1Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, Program in Cancer Cell Biology, Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center, West Virginia University, 2Sensory Neuroscience Research Center, West Virginia University , 3Departments of Otolaryngology and Physiology, Center for Neuroscience, West Virginia University

A comprehensive overview of the techniques involved in generating a mouse model of oral cancer and quantitative monitoring of tumor invasion within the tongue through multi-photon microscopy of labeled cells is presented. This system can serve as a useful platform for the molecular assessment and drug efficacy of anti-invasive compounds.
