18F-labeled magnetic nanoparticles for monitoring anti-angiogenic therapeutic effects in breast cancer xenografts.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To develop a novel fluorine-18 (18F)-labeled arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-coupled ultra-small iron oxide nanoparticle (USPIO) (hereafter, referred to as 18F-RGD@USPIO) and conduct an in-depth investigation to monitor the anti-angiogenic therapeutic effects by using a novel dual-modality PET/MRI probe. METHODS:The RGD peptide and 18F were coupled onto USPIO by click chemistry. In vitro experiments including determination of stability, cytotoxicity, cell binding of the obtained 18F-RGD@USPIO were carried out, and the targeting kinetics and bio-distribution were tested on an MDA-MB-231 tumor model. A total of 20 (n?=?10 per group) MDA-MB-231 xenograft-bearing mice were treated with bevacizumab or placebo (intraperitoneal injections of bevacizumab or a volume-equivalent placebo solution at the dose of 5 mg/kg for consecutive 7 days, respectively), and underwent PET/CT and MRI examinations with 18F-RGD@USPIO before and after treatment. Imaging findings were validated by histological analysis with regard to ?3-integrin expression (CD61 expression), microvascular density (CD31 expression), and proliferation (Ki-67 expression). RESULTS:Excellent stability, low toxicity, and good specificity to endothelial of 18F-RGD@USPIO were confirmed. The best time point for MRI scan was 6 h post-injection. No intergroup differences were observed in tumor volume development between baseline and day 7. However, 18F-RGD@USPIO binding was significantly reduced after bevacizumab treatment compared with placebo, both on MRI (P?

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate the use of diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) and volume measurements for early monitoring of antiangiogenic therapy in an experimental tumor model.Materials and methods23 athymic nude rats, bearing human colon carcinoma xenografts (HT-29) were examined before and after 6 days of treatment with regorafenib (n = 12) or placebo (n = 11) in a clinical 3-Tesla MRI. For DW-MRI, a single-shot EPI sequence with 9 b-values (10-800 s/mm2) was used. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated voxelwise and its median value over a region of interest, covering the entire tumor, was defined as the tumor ADC. Tumor volume was determined using T2-weighted images. ADC and volume changes between first and second measurement were evaluated as classifiers by a receiver-operator-characteristic (ROC) analysis individually and combined using Fisher's linear discriminant analysis (FLDA).ResultsAll ADCs and volumes are stated as median±standard deviation. Tumor ADC increased significantly in the therapy group (0.76±0.09×10(-3) mm2/s to 0.90±0.12×10(-3) mm2/s; p<0.001), with significantly higher changes of tumor ADC than in the control group (0.10±0.11×10(-3) mm2/s vs. 0.03±0.09×10(-3) mm2/s; p = 0.027). Tumor volume increased significantly in both groups (therapy: 347.8±449.1 to 405.3±823.6 mm3; p = 0.034; control: 219.7±79.5 to 443.7±141.5 mm3; p<0.001), however, the therapy group showed significantly reduced tumor growth (33.30±47.30% vs. 96.43±31.66%; p<0.001). Area under the curve and accuracy of the ADC-based ROC analysis were 0.773 and 78.3%; and for the volume change 0.886 and 82.6%. The FLDA approach yielded an AUC of 0.985 and an accuracy of 95.7%.ConclusionsRegorafenib therapy significantly increased tumor ADC after 6 days of treatment and also significantly reduced tumor growth. However, ROC analyses using each parameter individually revealed a lack of accuracy in discriminating between therapy and control group. The combination of both parameters using FLDA substantially improved diagnostic accuracy, thus highlighting the potential of multi-parameter MRI as an imaging biomarker for non-invasive early tumor therapy monitoring.

Project description:Prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) is expressed on the cell surface in 83%-100% of local prostate cancers and 87%-100% of prostate cancer bone metastases. In this study, we sought to develop immunoPET agents using (124)I- and (89)Zr-labeled anti-PSCA A11 minibodies (scFv-CH3 dimer, 80 kDa) and evaluate their use for quantitative immunoPET imaging of prostate cancer.A11 anti-PSCA minibody was alternatively labeled with (124)I- or (89)Zr-desferrioxamine and injected into mice bearing either matched 22Rv1 and 22Rv1×PSCA or LAPC-9 xenografts. Small-animal PET data were obtained and quantitated with and without recovery coefficient-based partial-volume correction, and the results were compared with ex vivo biodistribution.Rapid and specific localization to PSCA-positive tumors and high-contrast imaging were observed with both (124)I- and (89)Zr-labeled A11 anti-PSCA minibody. However, the differences in tumor uptake and background uptake of the radiotracers resulted in different levels of imaging contrast. The nonresidualizing (124)I-labeled minibody had lower tumor uptake (3.62 ± 1.18 percentage injected dose per gram [%ID/g] 22Rv1×PSCA, 3.63 ± 0.59 %ID/g LAPC-9) than the residualizing (89)Zr-labeled minibody (7.87 ± 0.52 %ID/g 22Rv1×PSCA, 9.33 ± 0.87 %ID/g LAPC-9, P < 0.0001 for each), but the (124)I-labeled minibody achieved higher imaging contrast because of lower nonspecific uptake and better tumor-to-soft-tissue ratios (22Rv1×PSCA:22Rv1 positive-to-negative tumor, 13.31 ± 5.59 (124)I-A11 and 4.87 ± 0.52 (89)Zr-A11, P = 0.02). Partial-volume correction was found to greatly improve the correspondence between small-animal PET and ex vivo quantification of tumor uptake for immunoPET imaging with both radionuclides.Both (124)I- and (89)Zr-labeled A11 anti-PSCA minibody showed high-contrast imaging of PSCA expression in vivo. However, the (124)I-labeled A11 minibody was found to be the superior imaging agent because of lower nonspecific uptake and higher tumor-to-soft-tissue contrast. Partial-volume correction was found to be essential for robust quantification of immunoPET imaging with both (124)I- and (89)Zr-labeled A11 minibody.
