Abstract
Ultra high frequency (UHF) ultrasound enables the visualization of very small structures that cannot be detected by conventional ultrasound. The utilization of UHF imaging as a new imaging technique for the 3D-in-vivo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model can facilitate new insights into tissue perfusion and survival. Therefore, human renal cystic tissue was grafted onto the CAM and examined using ...
Ultra high frequency (UHF) ultrasound enables the visualization of very small structures that cannot be detected by conventional ultrasound. The utilization of UHF imaging as a new imaging technique for the 3D-in-vivo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model can facilitate new insights into tissue perfusion and survival. Therefore, human renal cystic tissue was grafted onto the CAM and examined using UHF ultrasound imaging. Due to the unprecedented resolution of UHF ultrasound, it was possible to visualize microvessels, their development, and the formation of anastomoses. This enabled the observation of anastomoses between human and chicken vessels only 12 h after transplantation. These observations were validated by 3D reconstructions from a light sheet microscopy image stack, indocyanine green angiography, and histological analysis. Contrary to the assumption that the nutrient supply of the human cystic tissue and the gas exchange happens through diffusion from CAM vessels, this study shows that the vasculature of the human cystic tissue is directly connected to the blood vessels of the CAM and perfusion is established within a short period. Therefore, this in-vivo model combined with UHF imaging appears to be the ideal platform for studying the effects of intravenously applied therapeutics to inhibit renal cyst growth.
