Disease relevance of Omentum

  • CTIP and CT without IP had low sensitivity for detection of disease in the greater omentum (50% each) and small-bowel mesentery (38% and 59%, respectively), two areas that had the highest frequency of metastases [1].
  • Uptake of Tf-PEG liposomes in disseminated tumor cells of ascites and the greater omentum was significantly higher than that of PEG or bare liposomes and a significant increase in cisplatin levels was observed in these tumor cells [2].
  • CEA mRNA was found to be positive in both 10 peritoneal washes and 16 greater omenta of 30 gastric cancer patients, including all 6 patients who showed positive results for both cytology and RT-PCR of peritoneal wash and omentum [3].
  • Here, we show that embryonic day 29 porcine pancreas transplanted into the omentum of adult diabetic rats undergoes endocrine tissue differentiation over 20 wk and normalizes body weights and glucose tolerance [4].
  • Bloody pleural effusion secondary to infarction of omentum through a non-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia [5].

Associations of Omentum with chemical compounds

  • The addition of paclitaxel, by either schedule, to SU6668 treatment inhibited tumor spread in the peritoneal organs (omentum, pancreas, and diaphragm) even at low doses of paclitaxel [23].
  • Rates of penetration into the omentum remained at about 9% for ceftriaxone and between 50 and 70% for ornidazole [24].
  • It is concluded that gastroepiploic veins and arteries in the human omentum respond quite differently to dopamine; the alpha adrenoceptor-mediated contraction predominates over the relaxation mediated via dopamine D1 receptor subtype in the veins, and vice versa in the arteries [25].
  • To investigate the site-specific implantation of cancer cells in peritoneal dissemination, we inoculated CDF1 mice intraperitoneally with mouse P388 leukaemia cells labelled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and then observed immunohistochemically the distribution of the cells in the greater omentum taken from the mice using an anti-BrdU antibody [26].
  • 1. The effects of vasopressin and deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP, desmopressin) were studied in artery rings (0.8-1 mm in external diameter) obtained from portions of human omentum during the course of abdominal operations (27 patients) [27].
 

Gene context of Omentum

  • Primary malignant ovarian tumors and metastases of the omentum and intestine contain TM antigen as determined by ELISA but in significantly lower concentrations than benign ovarian tumors (p=0.0056) [28].
  • Immunohistochemical analysis of CD31, CD36, and CD44 antigens in human omentum [29].
  • The regulation of tissue-plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) synthesis was studied in cultured human mesothelial cells derived from omentum (HOMC) [30].
  • Vimentin was present in both cell types, whereas cytokeratins 8 and 18 and desmin were only present in cells derived from omentum [31].
  • While normal omentum stroma produced LIF, its expression was substituted by SCF in inflamed tissues [32].
