1 BACKGROUND: Imatinib causes increased turnover of stromal collagen, reduces collagen fibril diameter, enhances extracellular fluid turnover and lowers interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) in the human colonic carcinoma KAT-4/HT-29 (KAT-4) xenograft model. Imatinib Mesylate glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 Homo sapiens
2 BACKGROUND: Imatinib causes increased turnover of stromal collagen, reduces collagen fibril diameter, enhances extracellular fluid turnover and lowers interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) in the human colonic carcinoma KAT-4/HT-29 (KAT-4) xenograft model. Imatinib Mesylate glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 Homo sapiens
3 Treatment with imatinib resulted in similar pO2-levels in all three tumor models but only in KAT-4 tumors did the increase reach statistical significance. Imatinib Mesylate glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 Homo sapiens
4 It is likely that after imatinib treatment the increase in pO2 in KAT-4 tumors is caused by increased blood flow due to reduced vascular resistance. Imatinib Mesylate glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 Homo sapiens
5 This notion is supported by the significant reduction observed in IFP in KAT-4 tumors after imatinib treatment. Imatinib Mesylate glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 Homo sapiens
