[(89)Zr]oxinate4 for long-term in vivo cell tracking by positron emission tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

(111)In (typically as [(111)In]oxinate3) is a gold standard radiolabel for cell tracking in humans by scintigraphy. A long half-life positron-emitting radiolabel to serve the same purpose using positron emission tomography (PET) has long been sought. We aimed to develop an (89)Zr PET tracer for cell labelling and compare it with [(111)In]oxinate3 single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

Methods

[(89)Zr]Oxinate4 was synthesised and its uptake and efflux were measured in vitro in three cell lines and in human leukocytes. The in vivo biodistribution of eGFP-5T33 murine myeloma cells labelled using [(89)Zr]oxinate4 or [(111)In]oxinate3 was monitored for up to 14 days. (89)Zr retention by living radiolabelled eGFP-positive cells in vivo was monitored by FACS sorting of liver, spleen and bone marrow cells followed by gamma counting.

Results

Zr labelling was effective in all cell types with yields comparable with (111)In labelling. Retention of (89)Zr in cells in vitro after 24 h was significantly better (range 71 to >90%) than (111)In (43-52%). eGFP-5T33 cells in vivo showed the same early biodistribution whether labelled with (111)In or (89)Zr (initial pulmonary accumulation followed by migration to liver, spleen and bone marrow), but later translocation of radioactivity to kidneys was much greater for (111)In. In liver, spleen and bone marrow at least 92% of (89)Zr remained associated with eGFP-positive cells after 7 days in vivo.

Conclusion

[(89)Zr]Oxinate4 offers a potential solution to the emerging need for a long half-life PET tracer for cell tracking in vivo and deserves further evaluation of its effects on survival and behaviour of different cell types.

Synthesis and characterisation of zirconium complexes for cell tracking with Zr-89 by positron emission tomography.

Project description:The increasing availability of the long half-life positron emitter Zr-89 (half life 78.4 h) suggests that it is a strong candidate for cell labelling and hence cell tracking using positron emission tomography. The aim was to produce a range of neutral ZrL4 lipophilic complexes for cell labelling which could be prepared under radiopharmaceutical conditions. This was achieved when the ligand was oxine, tropolone or ethyl maltol. The complexes can be prepared in high yield from zirconium(iv) precursors in hydrochloric or oxalic acid solution. The oxinate and tropolonate complexes were the most amenable to chromatographic characterisation, and HPLC and ITLC protocols have been established to monitor their radiochemical purity. The radiochemical synthesis and quality control of (89)Zr(oxinate)4 is reported as well as preliminary cell labelling data for the oxinate, tropolonate and ethyl maltolate complexes which indicates that (89)Zr(oxinate)4 is the most promising candidate for further evaluation.

Automated light-induced synthesis of 89Zr-radiolabeled antibodies for immuno-positron emission tomography.

Project description:Clinical production of 89Zr-radiolabeled antibodies (89Zr-mAbs) for positron emission tomography imaging relies on the pre-conjugation of desferrioxamine B (DFO) to the purified protein, followed by isolation and characterization of the functionalized intermediate, and then manual radiosynthesis. Although highly successful, this route exposes radiochemists to a potentially large radiation dose and entails several technological and economic hurdles that limit access of 89Zr-mAbs to just a specialist few Nuclear Medicine facilities worldwide. Here, we introduce a fully automated synthesis box that can produce individual doses of 89Zr-mAbs formulated in sterile solution in < 25 min starting from [89Zr(C2O4)4]4- (89Zr-oxalate), our good laboratory practice-compliant photoactivatable desferrioxamine-based chelate (DFO-PEG3-ArN3), and clinical-grade antibodies without the need for pre-purification of protein. The automated steps include neutralization of the 89Zr-oxalate stock, chelate radiolabeling, and light-induced protein conjugation, followed by 89Zr-mAb purification, formulation, and sterile filtration. As proof-of-principle, 89ZrDFO-PEG3-azepin-trastuzumab was synthesized directly from Herceptin in < 25 min with an overall decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 20.1 ± 2.4% (n = 3), a radiochemical purity > 99%, and chemical purity > 99%. The synthesis unit can also produce 89Zr-mAbs via the conventional radiolabeling routes from pre-functionalized DFO-mAbs that are currently used in the clinic. This automated method will improve access to state-of-the-art 89Zr-mAbs at the many Nuclear Medicine and research institutions that require automated devices for radiotracer production.

Bone Marrow Cell Trafficking Analyzed by 89Zr-oxine Positron Emission Tomography in a Murine Transplantation Model.

Project description:Purpose: The success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) depends on donor cell homing to the bone marrow. However, there is no reliable method of noninvasively monitoring the kinetics and distribution of transferred cells. Using zirconium-89 (89Zr)-oxine cell labeling combined with PET imaging, we sought to visualize and quantify donor cell homing in a mouse bone marrow transplantation model.Experimental Design: The effect of 89Zr-oxine labeling on bone marrow cell viability and differentiation was evaluated in vitro89Zr-labeled bone marrow cells (2 × 107 cells, 16.6 kBq/106 cells) were transferred intravenously, and serial microPET images were obtained (n = 5). The effect of a CXCR4 inhibitor, plerixafor (5 mg/kg) and G-CSF (2.5 μg) on bone marrow homing and mobilization were examined (n = 4). Engraftment of the transferred 89Zr-labeled cells was evaluated (n = 3).Results:89Zr-oxine-labeled bone marrow cells showed delayed proliferation, but differentiated normally. Transferred bone marrow cells rapidly migrated to the bone marrow, spleen, and liver (n = 5). Approximately 36% of donor cells homed to the bone marrow within 4 hours, irrespective of prior bone marrow ablation. Inhibition of CXCR4 by plerixafor alone or with G-CSF significantly blocked the bone marrow homing (P < 0.0001, vs. nontreated, at 2 hours), confirming a crucial role of the CXCR4-CXCL12 system. Mobilization of approximately 0.64% of pretransplanted bone marrow cells induced a 3.8-fold increase of circulating bone marrow cells. 89Zr-labeled donor cells engrafted as well as nonlabeled cells.Conclusions:89Zr-oxine PET imaging reveals rapid bone marrow homing of transferred bone marrow cells without impairment of their stem cell functions, and thus, could provide useful information for optimizing HSCT.

A generic 89Zr labeling method to quantify the in vivo pharmacokinetics of liposomal nanoparticles with positron emission tomography.

Project description:Liposomal nanoparticles are versatile drug delivery vehicles that show great promise in cancer therapy. In an effort to quantitatively measure their in vivo pharmacokinetics, we developed a highly efficient 89Zr liposome-labeling method based on a rapid ligand exchange reaction between the membrane-permeable 89Zr(8-hydroxyquinolinate)4 complex and the hydrophilic liposomal cavity-encapsulated deferoxamine (DFO). This novel 89Zr-labeling strategy allowed us to prepare radiolabeled forms of a folic acid (FA)-decorated active targeting 89Zr-FA-DFO-liposome, a thermosensitive 89Zr-DFO-liposome, and a renal avid 89Zr-PEG-DFO-liposome at room temperature with near-quantitative isolated radiochemical yields of 98%±1% (n=6), 98%±2% (n=5), and 97%±1% (n=3), respectively. These 89Zr-labeled liposomal nanoparticles showed remarkable stability in phosphate-buffered saline and serum at 37°C without leakage of radioactivity for 48 h. The uptake of 89Zr-FA-DFO-liposome by the folate receptor-overexpressing KB cells was almost 15-fold higher than the 89Zr-DFO-liposome in vitro. Positron emission tomography imaging and ex vivo biodistribution studies enabled us to observe the heterogeneous distribution of the 89Zr-FA-DFO-liposome and 89Zr-DFO-liposome in the KB tumor xenografts, the extensive kidney accumulation of the 89Zr-FA-DFO-liposome and 89Zr-PEG-DFO-liposome, and the different metabolic fate of the free and liposome-encapsulated 89Zr-DFO. It also unveiled the poor resistance of all three liposomes against endothelial uptake resulting in their catabolism and high uptake of free 89Zr in the skeleton. Thus, this technically simple 89Zr-labeling method would find widespread use to guide the development and clinical applications of novel liposomal nanomedicines.

Radiation Dosimetry Study of [(89)Zr]rituximab Tracer for Clinical Translation of B cell NHL Imaging using Positron Emission Tomography.

Project description:We evaluated the dosimetry of [(89)Zr]rituximab, an anti-CD20 immunoPET tracer to image B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) using a humanized transgenic mouse model that expresses human CD20 transgenic mice (huCD20TM).Rituximab was conjugated to desferrioxamine (Df) for radiolabeling of Zirconium-89. [(89)Zr]rituximab (2.8?±?0.2 MBq) was tail vein-injected into huCD20T mice. Positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging was performed on the two groups of mice (blocking?=?2 mg/kg pre-dose of rituximab and non-blocking; n?=?5) at eight time points (1, 4, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 h) post injection.The novel [(89)Zr]rituximab PET tracer had good immunoreactivity, was stable in human serum, and was able to specifically target human CD20 in mice. The human equivalents of highest dose (mean?±?SD) organs with and without pre-dose are liver (345?±?284 ?Sv/MBq) and spleen (1165?±?149 ?Sv/MBq), respectively.Dosimetry of the human patient whole-body dose was found to be 145 MBq per annum, and the patient dose-limiting organ will be the liver (with rituximab pre-dose blocking) and spleen for non-blocking. The [(89)Zr]rituximab (t½?=?78.4 h) imaging of B cell NHL patients could permit the observation of targeting lesions in NHL patients over an extended period due to longer half-life as compared to the [(64)Cu] rituximab (t½?=?12.7 h).

Multimodal Positron Emission Tomography Imaging to Quantify Uptake of 89Zr-Labeled Liposomes in the Atherosclerotic Vessel Wall.

Project description:Nanotherapy has recently emerged as an experimental treatment option for atherosclerosis. To fulfill its promise, robust noninvasive imaging approaches for subject selection and treatment evaluation are warranted. To that end, we present here a positron emission tomography (PET)-based method for quantification of liposomal nanoparticle uptake in the atherosclerotic vessel wall. We evaluated a modular procedure to label liposomal nanoparticles with the radioisotope zirconium-89 (89Zr). Their biodistribution and vessel wall targeting in a rabbit atherosclerosis model was evaluated up to 15 days after intravenous injection by PET/computed tomography (CT) and PET/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). Vascular permeability was assessed in vivo using three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (3D DCE-MRI) and ex vivo using near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging. The 89Zr-radiolabeled liposomes displayed a biodistribution pattern typical of long-circulating nanoparticles. Importantly, they markedly accumulated in atherosclerotic lesions in the abdominal aorta, as evident on PET/MRI and confirmed by autoradiography, and this uptake moderately correlated with vascular permeability. The method presented herein facilitates the development of nanotherapy for atherosclerotic disease as it provides a tool to screen for nanoparticle targeting in individual subjects' plaques.

Iodine-124 Based Dual Positron Emission Tomography and Fluorescent Labeling Reagents for In Vivo Cell Tracking.

Project description:Understanding the in vivo behavior of experimental therapeutic cells is fundamental to their successful development and clinical translation. Iodine-124 has the longest half-life (4.2 days) among the clinically used positron emitters. Consequently, this isotope offers the longest possible tracking time for directly labeled cells using positron emission tomography (PET). Herein, we have radiosynthesized and evaluated two iodine-124/fluorescein-based dual PET and fluorescent labeling reagents, namely 124I-FIT-Mal and 124I-FIT-(PhS)2Mal for cell surface thiol bioconjugation. 124I-FIT-(PhS)2Mal labeled cells significantly more effectively than 124I-FIT-Mal. It conjugated to various cell lines in 22%-62% labeling efficiencies with prolonged iodine-124 retention. 124I-FIT-(PhS)2Mal mainly conjugated on the cell membrane, which was confirmed by high-resolution fluorescence imaging. The migration of 124I-FIT-(PhS)2Mal labeled Jurkat cells was visualized in NSG mice with excellent target-to-background contrast using PET/CT over 7 days. These data demonstrate that 124I-FIT-(PhS)2Mal can dynamically track cell migration in vivo using PET/CT over a clinically relevant time frame.

Cre/lox-assisted non-invasive in vivo tracking of specific cell populations by positron emission tomography.

Project description:Many pathophysiological processes are associated with proliferation, migration or death of distinct cell populations. Monitoring specific cell types and their progeny in a non-invasive, longitudinal and quantitative manner is still challenging. Here we show a novel cell-tracking system that combines Cre/lox-assisted cell fate mapping with a thymidine kinase (sr39tk) reporter gene for cell detection by positron emission tomography (PET). We generate Rosa26-mT/sr39tk PET reporter mice and induce sr39tk expression in platelets, T lymphocytes or cardiomyocytes. As proof of concept, we demonstrate that our mouse model permits longitudinal PET imaging and quantification of T-cell homing during inflammation and cardiomyocyte viability after myocardial infarction. Moreover, Rosa26-mT/sr39tk mice are useful for whole-body characterization of transgenic Cre mice and to detect previously unknown Cre activity. We anticipate that the Cre-switchable PET reporter mice will be broadly applicable for non-invasive long-term tracking of selected cell populations in vivo.Non-invasive cell tracking is a powerful method to visualize cells in vivo under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Here Thunemann et al. generate a mouse model for in vivo tracking and quantification of specific cell types by combining a PET reporter gene with Cre-dependent activation that can be exploited for any cell population for which a Cre mouse line is available.

Preparation of clinical-grade (89) Zr-panitumumab as a positron emission tomography biomarker for evaluating epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted therapy.

Project description:Panitumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) positive colorectal cancer. Recently, panitumumab has been radiolabeled with (89) Zr and evaluated for its potential to be used as immuno-positron emission tomography (PET) probe for EGFR positive cancers. Interesting preclinical results published by several groups of researchers have prompted us to develop a robust procedure for producing clinical-grade (89) Zr-panitumumab as an immuno-PET probe to evaluate EGFR-targeted therapy. In this process, clinical-grade panitumumab is bio-conjugated with desferrioxamine chelate and subsequently radiolabeled with (89) Zr resulting in high radiochemical yield (>70%, n?=?3) and purity (>98%, n?=?3). All quality control (QC) tests were performed according to United States Pharmacopeia specifications. QC tests showed that (89) Zr-panitumumab met all specifications for human injection. Herein, we describe a step-by-step method for the facile synthesis and QC tests of (89) Zr-panitumumab for medical use. The entire process of bioconjugation, radiolabeling, and all QC tests will take about 5?h. Because the synthesis is fully manual, two rapid, in-process QC tests have been introduced to make the procedure robust and error free.

Whole-body tracking of single cells via positron emission tomography.

Project description:In vivo molecular imaging can measure the average kinetics and movement routes of injected cells through the body. However, owing to non-specific accumulation of the contrast agent and its efflux from the cells, most of these imaging methods inaccurately estimate the distribution of the cells. Here, we show that single human breast cancer cells loaded with mesoporous silica nanoparticles concentrating the 68Ga radioisotope and injected into immunodeficient mice can be tracked in real time from the pattern of annihilation photons detected using positron emission tomography, with respect to anatomical landmarks derived from X-ray computed tomography. The cells travelled at an average velocity of 50 mm s-1 and arrested in the lungs 2-3 s after tail-vein injection into the mice, which is consistent with the blood-flow rate. Single-cell tracking could be used to determine the kinetics of cell trafficking and arrest during the earliest phase of the metastatic cascade, the trafficking of immune cells during cancer immunotherapy and the distribution of cells after transplantation.
