Efeitos da inibição da atividade de FASN sobre a linfangiogenese em modelo murino

TL;DRAbstract

lynphangiogenesis around the tumors. In the second model, circular wounds were done in the ears of Balb-C mice to induce a local inflammatory reaction and lymphangiogenesis. Lymphatics vessels were observed with the aid of fluorescent microlymphangiography, that allows the observation of the lymphatic vessels by intradermal injection of a solution of 1% of FITC-conjugated dextran. The extension of the lymphatic network was determined by using the Scion Image software. The density of lymphatic vessels significantly increased in both Balb-C and C57Bl6 mice treated with orlistat in comparison to the controls. Moreover, the size of the primary tumors and metastastic lymph nodes were measured and their volumes calculated. In summary, our results show that the inhibition of FASN with orlistat increases the extension, branching and/or permeability of the lymphatics vessels in the peritumoral region and around surgical wounds.
