Utilizing the Multiradionuclide Resolving Power of SPECT and Dual Radiolabeled Single Molecules to Assess Treatment Response of Tumors.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) radionuclide pairs having distinct decay rates and different energy maxima enable simultaneous detection of dual gamma signals and real-time assessment of dynamic functional and molecular processes in vivo. Here, we report image acquisition and quantification protocols for a single molecule labeled with two different radionuclides for functional SPECT imaging. PROCEDURES:LS370 and LS734 were prepared using modular solid phase peptide synthesis. Each agent has a caspase-3 cleavable reporting motif, flanked by a tyrosine residue and a chelator at the opposite end of molecule. Cell uptake and efflux were assessed in human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Biodistribution studies were conducted in tumor naive and orthotopic 4T1 metastatic breast cancer tumor mice. NanoSPECT dual-imaging validation and attenuation correction parameters were developed using phantom vials containing varying radionuclide concentrations. Proof-of-principle SPECT imaging was performed in MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice. RESULTS:LS370 and LS734 were singly or dually radiolabeled with (125)I and (111)In or (99m)Tc. Cell assays demonstrated 11-fold higher percent uptake (P?

Project description:BackgroundMusculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) has been used worldwide in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but is beginning to play an increasing role in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The aim of this study was to investigate the application of MSUS findings of a single indicator joint in JIA to assess the disease activity and classify disease subtype.MethodsThirty-five non-systemic JIA patients with a total of 62 visits were retrospectively recruited in this study. Among the involved joints, the joint with highest value of grey-scale (GS) plus power Doppler (PD) (=GSPD) was selected as the indicator joint at each visit. The correlations between each MSUS parameter (GS, PD, GSPD) of indicator joints and the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score, the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire-disability index (CHAQ-DI), and laboratory data were analyzed. The ultrasound features in different subtypes of JIA were also compared.ResultsPD was weakly correlated with the PGA score (rho = 0.323, p = 0.010), while both GS and GSPD were moderately correlated with the PGA score (rho = 0.405, p = 0.001; rho = 0.434, p = 0.000). On the other hand, GS, PD, and GSPD were weakly correlated with CHAQ-DI. Although erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) had a weak correlation with PGA, they were not statistically correlated with GS, PD, or GSPD. The proportions of effusion, synovial hypertrophy, and enthesopathy in three different subtypes, showed significant differences (Fisher's exact test, p = 0.037; p = 0.004; p = 0.019). Enthesopathy was only seen in joints of enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA), but not in joints of polyarthritis and oligoarthritis.ConclusionsMSUS is an acceptable non-invasive tool for the patients with JIA, particularly for those with non-systemic JIA, that might assist disease classification, and whose parameters of the indicator joints may potentially contribute to the evaluation of disease activity.
