Purpose: Hypoxia is a major source of resistance to radiation therapy (RT) in most solid tumors including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). As a result, there is an active interest in identifying agents that can alleviate hypoxia and sensitize tumors to RT. Pentoxifylline (PTX) is a clinically approved agent known to increase red blood cell deformability and improve blood flow. To date, there is limited in vivo evidence on the effects of PTX on tumor vascularity and hypoxia. In this work, we examined the activity of PTX against HNSCC in vitro and monitored the effects of PTX on tumor growth and vascularity in vivo using ultrasound (US) with co-registered photoacoustic imaging (PAI).Methods: Experimental studies were conducted using orthotopic (i) human FaDu tumor xenografts established in immunodeficient mice, and (ii) murine RP-MOC1 tumors established in immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice. Tumor-bearing mice were treated with PTX 200mg/kg and acute changes in tumor vascular function were evaluated over a 24 hour period using combined US-PAI. Percent vascularity (PV) was calculated from Power doppler. Tumor oxygen saturation (%sO2 average and sO2% total) and total hemoglobin concentration (HbT) were measured using photoacoustic imaging (PAI). Body weight measurements were acquired throughout the study to assess acute toxicity.Results: PTX did not sensitize cells to RT in vitro. We noted a higher number of colonies formed in the group treated with PTX+RT compared to RT alone group. Treatment with PTX (200 mg/kg) resulted in a significant increase in PV and %sO2 1hour post injection in FaDu tumors. In comparison, a transient increase in HbT average at 15 minutes post PTX injection (dose?) in RP-MOC1 tumor model. Conclusion: US-PAI detected transient improvement in tumor perfusion in HNSCC following PTX treatment. The observed effects were time- and tumor-dependent. Further investigation into the biological effects of PTX alone and in combination with RT against HNSCC is warranted.
