We have developed a simple yet powerful technique for delineating the morphological events of tumor-induced angiogenesis and other tumor-induced host processes with dual-color fluorescence. The method clearly images implanted tumors and adjacent stroma, distinguishing unambiguously the host and tumor-specific components of the malignancy. The dual-color fluorescence imaging is effected by using red fluorescent protein (RFP)-expressing tumors growing in GFP-expressing transgenic mice. This model shows with great clarity the details of the tumor-stroma interaction, especially tumor-induced angiogenesis and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. The GFP-expressing tumor vasculature, both nascent and mature, could be readily distinguished interacting with the RFP-expressing tumor cells. GFP-expressing dendritic cells were observed contacting RFP-expressing tumor cells with their dendrites. GFP-expressing macrophages were observed engulfing RFP-expressing cancer cells. GFP lymphocytes were seen surrounding cells of the RFP tumor, which eventually regressed. Dual-color fluorescence imaging visualizes the tumor-host interaction by whole-body imaging and at the cellular level in fresh tissues, dramatically expanding previous studies in fixed and stained preparations.
