Validation of near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) probes in vivo with dual laser NIRF endoscope.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The development of NIRF cathepsin activity probes offered the ability to visualize tumor associated tumor reaction and act as a surrogate marker to delineate the dysplastic lesions. One major type is a NIRF substrate of cathepsins (SBP), which is involved in catalytic way to produce high levels of fluorescence emission. The other major type (ABP) reacts with active cathepsins in stoichiometric manner since they bind covalently with their active center. Little is known about the sensitivity and the specificity of the NIRF probes to detect autochthonous developed dysplastic lesions. Dual laser NIRF endoscope provides a good tool to determine the efficiency of various NIRF probes in vivo in the same lesions.

Experimental design

In the current study, we validated both types of NIRF probes by using the dual laser NIRF endoscope to detect lesions colon cancer mouse model (TS4Cre/cAPC +/lox).

Results

The dual laser NIRF endoscope is emitting equal power with both lasers. It can detect with the same efficiency in 680 mode, as well as, 750 mode when NIFR probes of the same scaffold in vivo. When SBP and ABP were used, our results showed both probes are efficient enough to detect large polyps but small dysplastic lesions could not efficiently imaged with the ABP.

Conclusions

The dual laser NIRF endoscope is a powerful tool to validate probes. The probes that react catalytically with the active center of cathepsins are more efficient than the ones that react stoichiometrically in detecting small lesions.

Project description:PurposeAberrantly expressed glycans in cancer are of particular interest for tumor targeting. This proof-of-concept in vivo study aims to validate the use of aberrant Lewis glycans as target for antibody-based, real-time imaging of gastrointestinal cancers.ProceduresImmunohistochemical (IHC) staining with monoclonal antibody FG88.2, targeting Lewisa/c/x, was performed on gastrointestinal tumors and their healthy counterparts. Then, FG88.2 and its chimeric human/mouse variant CH88.2 were conjugated with near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) IRDye 800CW for real-time imaging. Specific binding was evaluated in vitro on human gastrointestinal cancer cell lines with cell-based plate assays, flow cytometry, and immune-fluorescence microscopy. Subsequently, mice bearing human colon and pancreatic subcutaneous tumors were imaged in vivo after intravenous administration of 1 nmol (150 μg) CH88.2-800CW with the clinical Artemis NIRF imaging system using the Pearl Trilogy small animal imager as reference. One week post-injection of the tracer, tumors and organs were resected and tracer uptake was analyzed ex vivo.ResultsIHC analysis showed strong FG88.2 staining on colonic, gastric, and pancreatic tumors, while staining on their normal tissue counterparts was limited. Next, human cancer cell lines HT-29 (colon) and BxPC-3 and PANC-1 (both pancreatic) were identified as respectively high, moderate, and low Lewisa/c/x-expressing. Using the clinical NIRF camera system for tumor-bearing mice, a mean tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) of 2.2 ± 0.3 (Pearl: 3.1 ± 0.8) was observed in the HT-29 tumors and a TBR of 1.8 ± 0.3 (Pearl: 1.9 ± 0.5) was achieved in the moderate expression BxPC-3 model. In both models, tumors could be adequately localized and delineated by NIRF for up to 1 week. Ex vivo analysis confirmed full tumor penetration of the tracer and low fluorescence signals in other organs.ConclusionsUsing a novel chimeric Lewisa/c/x-targeting tracer in combination with a clinical NIRF imager, we demonstrate the potential of targeting Lewis glycans for fluorescence-guided surgery of gastrointestinal tumors.
