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.

Project description:BACKGROUND:There is a growing interest in the use of F-18 FDG PET-CT to monitor tuberculosis (TB) treatment response. Tuberculosis lung lesions are often complex and diffuse, with dynamic changes during treatment and persisting metabolic activity after apparent clinical cure. This poses a challenge in quantifying scan-based markers of burden of disease and disease activity. We used semi-automated, whole lung quantification of lung lesions to analyse serial FDG PET-CT scans from the Catalysis TB Treatment Response Cohort to identify characteristics that best correlated with clinical and microbiological outcomes. RESULTS:Quantified scan metrics were already associated with clinical outcomes at diagnosis and 1 month after treatment, with further improved accuracy to differentiate clinical outcomes after standard treatment duration (month 6). A high cavity volume showed the strongest association with a risk of treatment failure (AUC 0.81 to predict failure at diagnosis), while a suboptimal reduction of the total glycolytic activity in lung lesions during treatment had the strongest association with recurrent disease (AUC 0.8 to predict pooled unfavourable outcomes). During the first year after TB treatment lesion burden reduced; but for many patients, there were continued dynamic changes of individual lesions. CONCLUSIONS:Quantification of FDG PET-CT images better characterised TB treatment outcomes than qualitative scan patterns and robustly measured the burden of disease. In future, validated metrics may be used to stratify patients and help evaluate the effectiveness of TB treatment modalities.

Project description:This early phase I trial studies how well 18F-fluoroazomycin arabinoside positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) works in diagnosing solid tumors. Using 18F-fluoroazomycin arabinoside with PET-CT may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors. 18F-fluoroazomycin arabinoside may help to show how much oxygen is present in a tumor during a PET-CT scan.

Project description:We report RNAseq analysis of 12 breast cancer patients treated with the ratiotracer 18F-Fluciclovine and the associated radiotracer uptake data. FFPE samples from 12 tumor and 7 benign tissue were sequenced. In addition, tissue samples from 6 normal breast reduction cases were sequenced for a total of 25 samples.

Project description:IntroductionThe maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) may be of prognostic significance for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the SUVmax in patients with MPM.Materials and methodsMedical records were retrospectively reviewed for the patients who were diagnosed with histopathologically proven MPM between 2009 and 2018 at Samsung Medical Center. For each patient, SUVmax was calculated for the primary lesion on PET/CT. To determine optimal cutoff values for predicting mortality, receiver operating characteristic curves were used.ResultsAmong the 54 study patients, 34 (63.0%) had epithelioid subtype, 13 (24.1%) had sarcomatoid or biphasic subtype, and 7 (13.0%) had mesothelioma, not otherwise specified (NOS). The median overall survival (OS) was 8.7 months, and the median SUVmax was 9.9. The median values of SUVmax were 5.5 in patients with epithelioid subtype, 11.7 in those with sarcomatoid/biphasic subtype, and 13.3 in those with NOS subtype (P = 0.003). The optimal cutoff values of SUVmax to predict mortality were 10.1 in all patients, and 8.5 in patients with epithelioid subtype. In multivariate analysis, SUVmax was significantly associated with overall survival in all patients (P = 0.003) and in patients with epithelioid subtype (P = 0.012), but not in those with non-epithelioid subtype.ConclusionsSUVmax in PET/CT is an independent prognostic factor in patients with MPM, especially those with epithelioid subtype. The histologic subtype of MPM should be considered when evaluating the prognostic significance of SUVmax.

Project description:Background and purposeFluorine-18 florbetapir is a recently developed β-amyloid plaque positron-emission tomography imaging agent with high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in the detection of moderate-to-frequent cerebral cortical β-amyloid plaque. However, the FDA has expressed concerns about the consistency of interpretation of [(18)F] florbetapir PET brain scans. We hypothesized that incorporating automated cerebral-to-whole-cerebellar standardized uptake value ratios into [(18)F] florbetapir PET brain scan interpretation would reduce this interreader variability.Materials and methodsThis randomized, blinded-reader study used previously acquired [(18)F] florbetapir scans from 30 anonymized patients who were enrolled in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 2. In 4 separate, blinded-reading sessions, 5 readers classified 30 cases as positive or negative for significant β-amyloid deposition either qualitatively alone or qualitatively with additional adjunct software that determined standardized uptake value ratios. A κ coefficient was used to calculate interreader agreement with and without the use of standardized uptake value ratios.ResultsThere was complete interreader agreement on 20/30 cases of [(18)F] florbetapir PET brain scans by using qualitative interpretation and on 27/30 scans interpreted with the adjunct use of standardized uptake value ratios. The κ coefficient for the studies read with standardized uptake value ratios (0.92) was significantly higher compared with the qualitatively read studies (0.69, P = .006).ConclusionsUse of standardized uptake value ratios improves interreader agreement in the interpretation of [(18)F] florbetapir images.
