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.

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.

Project description:BACKGROUND:; Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been reported in patients with a history of aminobisphosphonate use. METHODS:; In order to define ONJ and gain insights into its pathophysiology, clinical, radiographic, biochemical, and microarray profiling studies were conducted in 11 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and ONJ. RESULTS:; Eleven patients between the ages of 57 and 81 yrs were treated with either pamidronate (n=3), zoledronate (n=4), or both agents sequentially (n=4) for a mean of 38.7 months. Radiographic studies demonstrated radiolucency and sclerosis on plain films. Functional imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) demonstrated a visual increase in glucose metabolism and mineralization at sites of ONJ, using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and sodium fluoride (NaF), respectively. Quantitative regional analysis confirmed an increased standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in areas of ONJ. The target to background ratio of SUVmax was significantly greater for NaF-PET than FDG-PET scans, suggesting that NaF-PET may provide superior image quality for identifying ONJ. Transcriptional profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using the Affymetrix U133Plus 2.0 gene chip in all 11 MM patients compared with 10 age matched MM controls and 5 healthy volunteers demonstrated that genes involved in osteoblast and osteoclast signaling cascades were significantly downregulated in patients with ONJ, as were proteins confirmed by ELISA. CONCLUSIONS:; ONJ is seen in patients with a history of aminobisphosphonate use. Functional imaging with NaF PET confirms the diagnosis of ONJ. Gene and protein studies are consistent with altered bone remodeling, evidenced by suppression of both bone resorption and formation. Experiment Overall Design: Transcriptional profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was performed using the Affymetrix U133Plus 2.0 Gene Chip (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) in 11 patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw and multiple myeloma and compared with the profiles of the 10 myeloma patients on bisphosphonate therapy without osteonecrosis of the jaw and 5 healthy volunteers.

Project description:Microglia is dynamically reprogrammed according to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, clinical translation into biomarker development for functional change in microglia has not been achieved. Here, we find the close association of the metabolic reconfiguration of microglia with increased hippocampal glucose uptake, which can be noninvasively estimated by [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). We found that increased FDG activity in the hippocampus of an AD mouse model depended on microglial uptake. Single-cell RNA-sequencing of the hippocampus showed the changes of glucose metabolism profiles including glucose transporters, glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation mainly occurred in microglia. A subset of microglia with high glucose transporters with defective glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation was increased according to disease progression. Furthermore, we also found a positive association between a soluble TREM2 of cerebrospinal fluid, a marker of microglial activation, and hippocampal FDG uptake as a human study. We identified a reconfiguration of microglial glucose metabolism in the hippocampus of AD and suggested a feasible imaging biomarker based on widely used FDG PET to reflect microglial metabolic profiles.

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.

Project description:The standardized uptake value (SUV), an indicator of the glucose uptake degree in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), has been used as a prognostic factor in malignant tumors. We aimed to identify a signature reflecting prognostic SUV characteristics in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Transcriptome profiling was performed to identify a signature associated with the SUV in TNBC patients who underwent preoperative FDG-PET. We defined a signature significantly associated with the SUV (|r| > .35; P < .01). The SUV signature showed independent clinical utility for predicting BRC prognosis. Integrative analysis demonstrated a significance of the signature in predicting the response to immunotherapy and revealed that a signaling axis defined by TP53-FOXM1 and its downstream effectors in glycolysis-gluconeogenesis, including LDHA, might be important mediators in the FDG-PET process. Our results reveal characteristics of glucose uptake captured by FDG-PET, supporting an understanding of glucose metabolism as well as poor prognosis in TNBC patients with a high SUV.

Project description:Purpose: Preclinical model systems should faithfully reflect the complexity of the human pathology. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the tumor vasculature is of particular interest in diagnosis and therapy. By comparing two commonly applied preclinical model systems, diethylnitrosamine induced (DEN) and orthotopically implanted (McA) rat HCC, we aimed to measure tumor biology non-invasively and identify differences between the models.<br>Experimental design: DEN and McA tumor development was monitored by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). A slice-based correlation of imaging and histopathology was performed. Array CGH analyses were applied to determine genetic heterogeneity. Therapy response to sorafenib was tested in DEN and McA tumors.<br>Results: Histologically and biochemically confirmed liver damage resulted in increased 18F-fluordeoxyglucose (FDG) PET uptake and perfusion in DEN animals only. DEN tumors exhibited G1-3 grading compared to uniform G3 grading of McA tumors. Array comparative genomic hybridization revealed a highly variable chromosomal aberration pattern in DEN tumors. Heterogeneity of DEN tumors was reflected in more variable imaging parameter values. DEN tumors exhibited lower mean growth rates and FDG uptake and higher diffusion and perfusion values compared to McA tumors. To test the significance of these differences, the multikinase inhibitor sorafenib was administered, resulting in reduced volume growth kinetics and perfusion in the DEN group only.<br>Conclusion: This work depicts the feasibility and importance of in depth preclinical tumor model characterization and suggests the DEN model as a promising model system of multifocal nodular HCC in future therapy studies.

Project description:The standardized uptake value (SUV), an indicator of the glucose uptake degree in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), has been used as a prognostic factor in malignant tumors. We aimed to identify a signature reflecting prognostic SUV characteristics in breast cancer (BRC). Transcriptome profiling was performed to identify a signature associated with the SUV in BRC patients who underwent preoperative FDG-PET. We defined a signature consisting of 723 genes significantly correlated with the SUV (|r| > .35; P < .001). The patient subgroups classified by the signature were significantly similar to those classified by the SUV (odds ratio, 8.02; 95% CI, 2.45 to 29.3; P < 0.001). The SUV signature showed independent clinical utility for predicting BRC prognosis (hazard ratio, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.11 to 1.42; P < 0.001). Integrative analysis demonstrated a significance of the signature in predicting the response to immunotherapy and revealed that a signaling axis defined by TP53-FOXM1 and its downstream effectors in glycolysis-gluconeogenesis, including LDHA, might be important mediators in the FDG-PET process. Our results reveal characteristics of glucose uptake captured by FDG-PET, supporting an understanding of glucose metabolism as well as poor prognosis in BRC patients with a high SUV.

Project description:Abstract from the associated publication: Although PET allows an accurate staging of disease in follicular lymphoma (FL) patients, the impact of pre-treatment maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax) value in this population remains elusive as well as its real biological significance. A training cohort of 48 FL patients and a validation cohort of 84 patients unpreviously treated were included retrospectively. SUVmax of 18-FDG PET was evaluated by centrally expert review and the optimum threshold of SUVmax value was determined in the training cohort to predict progression free survival (PFS). To explore the biologic meaning of PET results, tumor samples were analyzed from the two cohorts independantly :- the tumor microenvironment immune cartography by immunochemistry , - the cell gene-expression profiles assessed using Sample enrichment score combined to CIBERSORT method and - the tumor cell mutational profile determined by targeted Next Generation Sequencing (t-NGS). At baseline, patients with a SUVmax >14.5 had a significantly lower PFS compared to patients with SUVmax ≤14.5 (2y PFS: 40% vs 86%, HR = 0.16, p = 0.0009). The prognostic value of SUVmax was confirmed in the validation cohort (p= 0.006). Neither immune cell infiltration nor immune checkpoint expression were related to the baseline PET metrics including SUVmax. By constrast, high tumor cell proliferation (assessed by Ki67 staining) was significantly related to high SUVmax level ( p= 0.007). Interestingly FOXO1 mutated patients harbored high SUVmax and high tumor proliferation, that is why FOXO1 status could reflect to proliferation of FL tumor cells through SUVmax and Ki67 staining. So, FL patients with high baseline SUVmax related to high tumor cell proliferation have a poorer PFS despite absence of lymphoma transformation.
