In Vivo Assessment of Hypoxia in Gastro-intestinal Cancer Using 18F-HX4-PET: an Optimization and Reproducibility Study

ABSTRACT: Several studies have shown that tumour hypoxia may have a negative impact on the outcome of anticancer treatment. Assessment of tumor hypoxia at baseline or shortly after start of treatment may serve as a predictive marker to determine treatment efficacy at an early stage. Preferably, such an assessment is performed in vivo and non-invasively.Non-invasive imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) using the 2-nitroimidazole nucleoside analogue, 3-18F-fluoro-2-(4-((2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1- yl)propan-1-ol (18F-HX4), was tested as a new marker of tumor hypoxia. Before hypoxia-measurements can be clinically implemented for response prediction, the reproducibility of the technique should be assessed for each specific tumor type. Knowledge of reproducibility is needed to determine what change in parameters between two examinations can be considered relevant in an individual patient. Assessment of reproducibility becomes even more important in early response monitoring since the changes in the tumor induced by the treatment may be smaller during the treatment compared to response monitoring after completion of treatment. Also, as image quality of 18F-HX4-PET increases with increasing time intervals after injection, determination of the optimal time point for measurement of hypoxia is warranted.

STING-driven interferon signaling triggers metabolic alterations in pancreas cancer cells visualized by [18F]FLT PET imaging

Project description:Type I interferons (IFNs) are critical effectors of emerging cancer immunotherapies designed to activate pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). A challenge in the clinical translation of these new immuno-modulatory agents is the lack of pharmacodynamic biomarkers indicative of increased intratumoral IFN signaling following PRR activation. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging enables the visualization of tissue metabolic activity but whether IFN signaling-induced alterations in tumor cell metabolism can be detected using PET has not been investigated. We found that IFN signaling augments pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell nucleotide metabolism via transcriptional induction of metabolism-associated genes including thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP). TYMP catalyzes the first step in the catabolism of thymidine which competitively inhibits intratumoral accumulation of the nucleoside analog PET probe [18F]-fluorothymidine ([18F]FLT). Accordingly, IFN treatment stimulates cancer cell [18F]FLT uptake in the presence of thymidine and this effect is dependent on TYMP expression. In vivo, genetic activation of stimulator of interferon genes (STING), a PRR widely expressed in PDAC, enhances the [18F]FLT avidity of xenograft tumors. Treatment with a small molecule STING agonist triggers IFN signaling-dependent TYMP expression in PDAC cells and enhances both subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor [18F]FLT uptake in vivo following systemic treatment. These findings indicate that [18F]FLT accumulation in tumors is sensitive to IFN signaling and that [18F]FLT PET may serve as a novel pharmacodynamic biomarker for PRR agonist-based immunotherapies in PDAC and possibly other malignancies characterized by elevated STING expression.

68Ga-FAPI PET imaging assesses tumor immunity and guides TGF-β inhibition to sensitize metastatic colorectal cancer to immunotherapy

Project description:BACKGROUND. Improving and predicting tumor response to immunotherapy remains challenging. Combination therapy with a transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) inhibitor that targets cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) is promising to enhance efficacy of cancer immunotherapies. However, the effect of this approach in clinical trials is limited, requiring in vivo methods to better assess tumor responses to combination therapy. METHODS. We measure CAFs in vivo using gallium 68-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (68Ga-FAPI) for PET/CT imaging to guide TGF-β inhibition and sensitize metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) to immunotherapy. A total of 131 patients with metastatic CRC underwent 68Ga-FAPI and 18F-fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT imaging. Fourteen patients underwent surgery after the imaging. Relationship between uptake of 68Ga-FAPI and tumor immunity was analyzed. Mouse cohorts of metastatic CRC were treated with TGF-β receptor (TGF-βR) inhibitor combined with KN046 which blocks PD-L1 and CTLA4, followed with 68Ga-FAPI and 18F-FDG micro-PET/CT imaging to assess tumor responses. RESULTS. Patients with metastatic CRC demonstrated high uptakes of 68Ga-FAPI, along with suppressive tumor immunity and poor prognosis. TGF-βR inhibitor enhanced tumor infiltrating T cells and significantly sensitized metastatic CRC to KN046. 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT imaging accurately monitored the dynamical changes of CAFs and tumor response to combined TGF-βR inhibitor with immunotherapy. CONCLUSION. 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT imaging is powerful in assessing tumor immunity and response to immunotherapy in metastatic CRC. This study supports future clinical application of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT to stratify and guide patients with CRC for precise TGF-β inhibition plus immunotherapy, recommending 68Ga-FAPI and 18F-FDG dual PET/CT for CRC management.

Glucose metabolic profiles evaluated by PET associated with molecular characteristic landscape of gastric cancer

Project description:Although FDG-PET is widely used in cancer, its role in gastric cancer (GC) is still controversial due to variable [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) uptake. Here, we investigate the molecular landscape of GC and its association with glucose metabolic profiles noninvasively evaluated by [18F]FDG PET. Based on a genetic signature, PETscore, representing [18F]FDG avidity, was developed by imaging data acquired from thirty patient-derived xenografts (PDX). Five genes, PLS1, PYY, HBQ1, SLC6A5, NAT16, were identified for the PETscore, which was validated in independent cohorts by qRT-PCR and RNA-sequencing. By applying the PETscore on the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a significant association between glucose uptake and tumor mutational burden as well as genomic alterations was identified in GC. Our findings suggest that molecular characteristics are underlying the diverse metabolic profiles of GC. Diverse glucose metabolic profiles may apply to precise diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for GC.

Functional Genomics and Molecular Imaging of Liver Disease and Cancer

Project description:<p>Molecular imaging with 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT reveals two distinct imaging phenotypes for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as a potential source of non-invasive insight into its molecular heterogeneity. Using gene set enrichment analyses, we found 18F-fluorocholine-avid tumors to be significantly enriched by genes comprising a subset of previously published HCC-related gene signatures. Significant gene sets included those from existing molecular classification systems for HCC as well as gene signatures predictive of clinical outcomes after tumor resection. PET/CT imaging using 18F-fluorocholine might therefore provide surrogate information about tumor molecular characteristics and prognosis in HCC.</p>

Simultaneous Integrated Boost Preoperative Radiotherapy for Rectum Cancer

Project description:The investigators propose a randomized non-inferiority trial that compares preoperative Fluoro Uracil (FU)-based chemoradiotherapy to radiotherapy with a simultaneous integrated boost. In patients with T3-4 rectal cancer, the latter approach is considered preferential with regard to toxicity and cost. The metabolic response of the tumor, as assessed by 18F-2-Fluoro-2-Deoxyglucose-Positron Emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) or PET-CT, will be used as a surrogate marker of cause specific outcome

Reversal of Synapse Loss in Alzheimer Mouse Models by Targeting mGluR5 to Prevent Synaptic Tagging by C1q

Project description:Longitudinal PET imaging of Alzheimer models reveals synaptic rescue by an mGluR5 modulator with selective normalization of neuronal transcriptomes. Alzheimer’s disease symptoms are initiated by synapse loss in the setting of microglial reactivity, but the basis for immune mediator attack on synapses is not clear. The mGluR5 silent allosteric modulator (SAM), BMS-984923, prevents Alzheimer’s triggered aberrant synaptic signaling while preserving physiological Glu activation. Here, we show that oral BMS-984923 effectively occupies brain mGluR5 sites visualized by [18F]FPEB PET at doses 250-fold below adverse effect doses in rodent and non-human primate. For aged transgenic and double knock-in mouse Alzheimer’s models, SV2A PET imaging with [18F]SynVesT-1 reveals cortical and hippocampal synapse density decreases, which are fully recovered by SAM treatment. The disease-modifying benefit persists after drug washout. Tau accumulation in double knock-in mice is also reduced by SAM treatment. Single nuclei transcriptomics demonstrate that SAM treatment normalizes expression patterns to a much greater extent in neurons than glia. Production of the microglial mediator, C1q, is not altered by the mGluR5 compound, but Alzheimer gene-dependent C1q localization to synapses and synaptic engulfment are prevented. Thus, selective modulation of mGluR5 reverses neuronal gene expression changes to protect synapses from damage by microglial mediators.

Glucose partitioning in the bone marrow micro-environment in acute myeloid leukaemia [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:We used a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer 18F fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) and transcriptomic analysis to detect glucose uptake by cells in the bone marrow micro-environment with an MLL-AF9-induced mouse model. Leukaemic cells had the greatest glucose uptake. To determine whether glucose uptake is driven by intrinsic demand, we applied RNA-seq of sorted leukaemia cells (GFP+) and bone marrow micro-environment myeloid cells (GFP-CD11b+) from the MLL-AF9 transduced mouse model.
