The aim of the study was to evaluate the uptake of [(18)F]-1-deoxy-1-fluoro-scyllo-inositol ([(18)F]-scyllo-inositol) in human breast cancer (BC) and glioma xenografts, as well as in inflammatory tissue, in immunocompromised mice. Studies of [(18)F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose ([(18)F]-FDG) under the same conditions were also performed.
Radiosynthesis of [(18)F]-scyllo-inositol was automated using a commercial synthesis module. Tumour, inflammation and normal tissue uptakes were evaluated by biodistribution studies and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using [(18)F]-scyllo-inositol and [(18)F]-FDG in mice bearing subcutaneous MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-361 human BC xenografts, intracranial U-87 MG glioma xenografts and turpentine-induced inflammation.
The radiosynthesis of [(18)F]-scyllo-inositol was automated with good radiochemical yields (24.6%±3.3%, uncorrected for decay, 65±2 min, n=5) and high specific activities (≥195 GBq/μmol at end of synthesis). Uptake of [(18)F]-scyllo-inositol was greatest in MDA-MB-231 BC tumours and was comparable to that of [(18)F]-FDG (4.6±0.5 vs. 5.5±2.1 %ID/g, respectively; P=.40), but was marginally lower in MDA-MB-361 and MCF-7 xenografts. Uptake of [(18)F]-scyllo-inositol in inflammation was lower than [(18)F]-FDG. While uptake of [(18)F]-scyllo-inositol in intracranial U-87 MG xenografts was significantly lower than [(18)F]-FDG, the tumour-to-brain ratio was significantly higher (10.6±2.5 vs. 2.1±0.6; P=.001).
Consistent with biodistribution studies, uptake of [(18)F]-scyllo-inositol was successfully visualized by PET imaging in human BC and glioma xenografts, with lower accumulation in inflammatory tissue than [(18)F]-FDG. The tumour-to-brain ratio of [(18)F]-scyllo-inositol was also significantly higher than that of [(18)F]-FDG for visualizing intracranial glioma xenografts in NOD SCID mice, giving a better contrast.
本研究旨在评估 [(18)F]-1-脱氧-1-氟代 scyllo-肌醇 ([(18)F]-scyllo-肌醇) 在荷人乳腺癌 (BC) 和神经胶质瘤异种移植瘤以及免疫缺陷小鼠炎症组织中的摄取情况。还进行了相同条件下 [(18)F]-2-氟-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖 ([(18)F]-FDG) 的研究。
使用商业合成模块自动合成 [(18)F]-scyllo-肌醇。通过 [(18)F]-scyllo-肌醇和 [(18)F]-FDG 的生物分布研究和正电子发射断层扫描 (PET) 成像,评估肿瘤、炎症和正常组织的摄取情况,在荷有 MDA-MB-231、MCF-7 和 MDA-MB-361 人 BC 异种移植瘤、颅内 U-87 MG 神经胶质瘤异种移植瘤和松节油诱导的炎症的免疫缺陷小鼠中进行。
[(18)F]-scyllo-肌醇的放射合成实现了自动化,放射化学产率良好(未经衰变校正为 24.6%±3.3%,65±2 min,n=5),比活度高(≥195GBq/μmol,在合成结束时)。[(18)F]-scyllo-肌醇在 MDA-MB-231 BC 肿瘤中的摄取最高,与 [(18)F]-FDG 相当(分别为 4.6±0.5%ID/g 和 5.5±2.1%ID/g;P=.40),但在 MDA-MB-361 和 MCF-7 异种移植瘤中略低。[(18)F]-scyllo-肌醇在炎症中的摄取低于 [(18)F]-FDG。虽然颅内 U-87 MG 异种移植瘤中 [(18)F]-scyllo-肌醇的摄取明显低于 [(18)F]-FDG,但肿瘤与脑的比值明显更高(10.6±2.5 比 2.1±0.6;P=.001)。
与生物分布研究一致,[(18)F]-scyllo-肌醇的摄取通过 PET 成像成功可视化,在人 BC 和神经胶质瘤异种移植瘤中的摄取低于 [(18)F]-FDG,在炎症组织中的摄取低于 [(18)F]-FDG。[(18)F]-scyllo-肌醇的肿瘤与脑的比值也明显高于 [(18)F]-FDG,用于可视化 NOD SCID 小鼠颅内神经胶质瘤异种移植瘤,具有更好的对比度。
