FIAU and FEAU were evaluated in vitro and in vivo as markers for HSV1-tk gene expression.
In vitro and biodistribution studies were performed in wild type and transduced HT-29 cells using [14C]FIAU and [3H]FEAU. PET imaging was performed using [18F]FIAU and [18F]FEAU.
In vitro uptake of [14C]FIAU in tk-positive cells was 39-fold, 49-fold, and 43-fold higher (p<0.001) than in wild type cells at 30, 60, and 120 min, respectively. Uptake of [3H]FEAU in transduced cells was 46-fold, 62-fold, and 121-fold higher (p<0.001) than in wild type cells at the same time points. In vivo uptake of [14C]FIAU at 2 h in HSV1-tk positive tumors was 15.48+/-3.94, 6.7-fold higher (p<0.001) than in wild type tumors. Uptake of [3H]FEAU in transduced tumors was 9.98+/-1.99, 5.0-fold higher (p<0.001) than in wild type tumors. Micro-PET images using [18F]FIAU and [18F]FEAU also showed very high uptake in HSV-tk tumors.
[18F]FIAU and [18F]FEAU appear to be potential PET imaging agents for gene expression.
在体外和体内评估FIAU和FEAU作为单纯疱疹病毒1型胸苷激酶(HSV1-tk)基因表达标志物的情况。
使用[14C]FIAU和[3H]FEAU在野生型和转导的HT-29细胞中进行体外和生物分布研究。使用[18F]FIAU和[18F]FEAU进行正电子发射断层扫描(PET)成像。
在30、60和120分钟时,tk阳性细胞中[14C]FIAU的体外摄取量分别比野生型细胞高39倍、49倍和43倍(p<0.001)。在相同时间点,转导细胞中[3H]FEAU的摄取量比野生型细胞高46倍、62倍和121倍(p<0.001)。HSV1-tk阳性肿瘤在2小时时[14C]FIAU的体内摄取量为15.48±3.94,比野生型肿瘤高6.7倍(p<0.001)。转导肿瘤中[3H]FEAU的摄取量为9.98±1.99,比野生型肿瘤高5.0倍(p<0.001)。使用[18F]FIAU和[18F]FEAU的微型PET图像也显示HSV-tk肿瘤摄取量非常高。
[18F]FIAU和[18F]FEAU似乎是用于基因表达的潜在PET成像剂。
