Abstract

We performed a correlation analysis of the morphometric parameters of mesenteric lymph nodes and cytokine content in the lymph of thoracic duct in rats with chemically induced breast cancer. The study showed that activity of the local immune response in the lymph nodes in breast cancer is aimed at antitumor protection. In breast cancer, the area of the paracortical zone remained at the level of the intact group, while the area of lymphoid nodules with germinative centers and the area of medullary substance increased; the number of macrophages in the thymus-dependent zone and zone responsible for humoral immunity also increased. The following positive correlations were revealed: in germinative centers and medullary substance, number of mitotic cells correlated with cytokine IL-5 content and the number of medium lymphocytes correlated with the content of chemokine MIP-1α; in the germinative centers, the number of immunoblasts correlated with the level of cytokine GRO/KC, in the paracortical zone, the number of macrophages correlated with the level of chemokine MCP-1, the number of reticular cells correlated with IL-6 and M-CSF content; in medullary substance, the number of small lymphocytes and mature cells plasma cells (their co...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
