Abstract | Cycling hypoxia is now a well-recognized phenomenon in animal and human solid tumors. Cycling hypoxia can exist more than 100-μm distances from a microvessel, and some of these regions have been shown to exist adjacent to normal tissue. Fluctuations in pO(2) of approximately 20 mm Hg can occur with periodicities of minutes to hours and even days. These fluctuations have been attributed to changes in erythrocyte flux, perfusion, and also development of newer vascular networks. Cycling hypoxia has been shown to induce the expression of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1α (HIF-1α) and also confer tumor cells and tumor vascular endothelial cells with enhanced prosurvival pathways, making tumors less responsive to radiation and chemotherapy. Imaging of cycling hypoxia in tumors can provide capabilities to help plan appropriate treatment, by taking into account the magnitude and frequency of fluctuations and also their locations adjacent to normal tissue. Electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) provides the ability to distinguish chronic and cycling hypoxic regions and has the required spatial and temporal resolutions to provide quantitative maps of tumor pO(2). EPRI can serve as a valuable tool in examining tumor pO(2) longitudinally in response to treatment and in an experimentally chosen time window to spatially map fluctuations in pO(2) noninvasively in animal models of implanted or orthotopic tumors, with a potential for human applications. |
