Abstract

UNLABELLED

Recently, some studies have shown that delayed scanning with (18)F-FDG PET may help to differentiate malignant from benign pancreatic lesions. However, no study has evaluated the relationship between temporal changes in (18)F-FDG uptake and expression of hexokinase or glucose transporter.

METHODS

Twenty-one consecutive patients with pancreatic cancer were studied preoperatively by dual-phase (18)F-FDG PET, performed 1 and 2 h after injection of (18)F-FDG. The standardized uptake value (SUV) of the pancreatic cancer was determined, and the retention index (RI) (%) was calculated by subtracting the SUV at 1 h (SUV1) from the SUV at 2 h (SUV2) and dividing by SUV1. The percentages of cells strongly expressing hexokinase type-II (HK-II) and glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) were scored on a 5-point scale (1 = 0%-20%, 2 = 20%-40%, 3 = 40%-60%, 4 = 60%-80%, 5 = 80%-100%) by visual analysis of immunohistochemical staining of paraffin sections from the tumor specimens using anti-HK-II and anti-GLUT-1 antibody (HK-index and G-index, respectively).

RESULTS

SUV2 (mean +/- SD, 5.7 +/- 2.6) was higher than SUV1 (5.1 +/- 2.1), with an RI of 8.5 +/- 11.0. Four cases of cancer, in which SUV2 showed a decline from SUV1, showed a low HK-index (1.8 +/- 1.1), whereas 4 cases with an RI of > or =20 and 13 cases with an intermediate RI (0-20) showed significantly higher HK-indices (4.3 +/- 0.7 and 3.1 +/- 1.5, respectively; P < 0.05). RI showed a positive correlation with HK-index, with an R(2) of 0.27 (P < 0.05), but no significant correlation with the G-index. SUV1 showed no relationship with the HK-index but showed a weak positive correlation with the G-index, with an R(2) of 0.05 (P = 0.055).

CONCLUSION

These preliminary findings suggest that the RI obtained from dual-phase (18)F-FDG PET can predict HK-II expression and that the SUV (at 1 h) has a positive correlation with GLUT-1 expression but not with HK-II expression.

摘要

未标记

最近，一些研究表明，（18）F-FDG PET延迟扫描可能有助于鉴别胰腺良恶性病变。然而，尚无研究评估（18）F-FDG摄取的时间变化与己糖激酶或葡萄糖转运蛋白表达之间的关系。

方法

连续21例胰腺癌患者在术前接受双期（18）F-FDG PET检查，在注射（18）F-FDG后1小时和2小时进行。测定胰腺癌的标准化摄取值（SUV），并通过用2小时时的SUV（SUV2）减去1小时时的SUV（SUV1），再除以SUV1来计算滞留指数（RI）（%）。使用抗HK-II和抗GLUT-1抗体（分别为HK指数和G指数），通过对肿瘤标本石蜡切片免疫组化染色的视觉分析，对强表达II型己糖激酶（HK-II）和葡萄糖转运蛋白-1（GLUT-1）的细胞百分比进行5分制评分（1 = 0%-20%，2 = 20%-40%，3 = 40%-60%，4 = 60%-80%，5 = 80%-100%）。

结果

SUV2（均值±标准差，5.7±2.6）高于SUV1（5.1±2.1），RI为8.5±11.0。4例SUV2较SUV1下降的癌症病例HK指数较低（1.8±1.1），而4例RI≥20的病例和13例RI为中间值（0-20）的病例HK指数显著较高（分别为4.3±0.7和3.1±1.5；P<0.05）。RI与HK指数呈正相关，R²为0.27（P<0.05），但与G指数无显著相关性。SUV1与HK指数无相关性，但与G指数呈弱正相关，R²为0.05（P = 0.055）。
