Predicting IGF-1R therapy response in bone sarcomas: immuno-SPECT imaging with radiolabeled R1507.

ABSTRACT: To investigate whether indium-111-labeled R1507 ((111)In-R1507) immuno-SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography), a novel noninvasive, in vivo screening method to visualize membranous insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) expression and accessibility, can be used to predict IGF-1R treatment (R1507) response in bone sarcomas.BALB/c nude mice were subcutaneously implanted with IGF-1R-expressing human bone sarcoma xenografts (OS-1, EW-5, and EW-8) which showed high, modest, or no response, respectively, to R1507, a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of IGF-1R. An IGF-1R-negative tumor (OS-33), unresponsive to IGF-1R inhibitors, was examined as well. Mice were injected with (111)In-R1507. Biodistribution and immuno-SPECT/computed tomography imaging studies were carried out 1, 3, and 7 days p.i. in mice with OS-1 and EW-5 xenografts and 3 days p.i. in mice with EW-8 and OS-33 xenografts.Biodistribution studies showed specific accumulation of (111)In-R1507 in OS-1 and EW-5 xenografts (27.5 ± 6.5%ID/g and 14.0 ± 2.8%ID/g, 3 days p.i., respectively). Most importantly, (111)In-R1507 uptake in IGF-1R positive, but unresponsive, EW-8 xenografts (6.5 ± 1.5%ID/g, 3 days p.i.) was similar to that of the IGF-1R-negative OS-33 tumor (5.5 ± 0.6%ID/g, 3 days p.i.). Uptake in normal tissues was low and nonspecific. Corresponding immuno-SPECT images clearly discriminated between high, modest, and nonresponding tumors by showing a homogeneous (OS-1), heterogeneous (EW-5), or nonspecific (EW-8 and OS-33) tumor uptake of (111)In-R1507.(111)In-R1507 immuno-SPECT is an excellent method to visualize membranous IGF-1R expression and target accessibility in vivo in human bone sarcoma xenografts and may serve as an independent marker to predict IGF-1R therapy (R1507) response in bone sarcoma patients.

Project description:PurposeRANKL expression in the tumor microenvironment has been identified as a biomarker of immune suppression, negating the effect of some cancer immunotherapies. Previously we had developed a radiotracer based on the FDA-approved RANKL-specific antibody denosumab, [89Zr]Zr-DFO-denosumab, enabling successful immuno-PET imaging. Radiolabeled denosumab, however, showed long blood circulation and delayed tumor uptake, potentially limiting its applications. Here we aimed to develop a smaller radiolabeled denosumab fragment, [64Cu]Cu-NOTA-denos-Fab, that would ideally show faster tumor accumulation and better diffusion into the tumor for the visualization of RANKL.Experimental designFab fragments were prepared from denosumab using papain and conjugated to a NOTA chelator for radiolabeling with 64Cu. The bioconjugates were characterized in vitro using SDS-PAGE analysis, and the binding affinity was assessed using a radiotracer cell binding assay. Small animal PET imaging evaluated tumor targeting and biodistribution in transduced RANKL-ME-180 xenografts.ResultsThe radiolabeling yield of [64Cu]Cu-NOTA-denos-Fab was 58 ± 9.2%, with a specific activity of 0.79 ± 0.11 MBq/µg (n = 3). A radiotracer binding assay proved specific targeting of RANKL in vitro. PET imaging showed fast blood clearance and high tumor accumulation as early as 1 h p.i. (2.14 ± 0.21% ID/mL), which peaked at 5 h p.i. (2.72 ± 0.61% ID/mL). In contrast, [64Cu]Cu-NOTA-denosumab reached its highest tumor uptake at 24 h p.i. (6.88 ± 1.12% ID/mL). [64Cu]Cu-NOTA-denos-Fab specifically targeted human RANKL in transduced ME-180 xenografts compared with the blocking group and negative ME-180 xenograft model. Histological analysis confirmed RANKL expression in RANKL-ME-180 xenografts.ConclusionsHere, we report on a novel RANKL PET imaging agent, [64Cu]Cu-NOTA-denos-Fab, that allows for fast tumor imaging with improved imaging contrast when compared with its antibody counterpart, showing promise as a potential PET RANKL imaging tool for future clinical applications.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the potential of anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)1- and anti-HER2-targeted radiolabeled antibodies and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for imaging of orthotopic malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in mouse models.Materials and methodsAnimal studies with 165 mice were performed in accordance with National Institutes of Health guidelines for the humane use of animals, and all procedures were approved by the institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Flow cytometry studies were performed to evaluate HER1 and HER2 expression in NCI-H226 and MSTO-211H mesothelioma cells. Biodistribution and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) imaging studies were performed in mice (four or five per group, depending on tumor growth) bearing subcutaneous and orthotopic MPM tumors by using HER1- and HER2-targeted indium 111 ((111)In)- and iodine 125 ((125)I)-labeled panitumumab and trastuzumab, respectively. Longitudinal MR imaging over 5 weeks was performed in three mice bearing orthotopic tumors to monitor tumor growth and metastases. SPECT/CT/MR imaging studies were performed at the final time point in the orthotopic models (n = 3). The standard unpaired Student t test was used to compare groups.ResultsOrthotopic tumors and pleural effusions were clearly visualized at MR imaging 3 weeks after tumor cell inoculation. At 2 days after injection, the mean (111)In-panitumumab uptake of 29.6% injected dose (ID) per gram ± 2.2 (standard error of the mean) was significantly greater than the (111)In-trastuzumab uptake of 13.6% ID/g ± 1.0 and the (125)I-panitumumab uptake of 7.4% ID/g ± 1.2 (P = .0006 and P = .0001, respectively). MR imaging fusion with SPECT/CT provided more accurate information about (111)In-panitumumab localization in the tumor, as the tumor was poorly visualized at CT alone.ConclusionThis study demonstrates the utility of radiolabeled anti-HER1 antibodies in the imaging of MPM in preclinical models.Supplemental materialhttp://radiology.rsna.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1148/radiol.12121021/-/DC1.
