I-Radiolabeled F56 peptide was designed as a radioactive analogue of F56 (peptide WHSDMEWWYLLG) to bind with VEGFR1 receptor. It was synthesized in high radiochemical yield and specific activity. The stability of I-F56 was tested, and the bioactivity of I-F56 was confirmed by both cell uptake and binding affinity measurement in VEGFR1 positive BGC-823 cells. The time-radioactivity relationship and biodistribution of I-F56 tracer were conducted using nude mice bearing human gastric carcinoma BGC-823, by noninvasive micro-SPECT/CT imaging. The tracer's tumor uptake was further confirmed by autoradiography and HE stain of I-F56 in tumor tissues ex vivo. Those results demonstrated that I-F56 holds great potential as a diagnostic agent in both molecular imaging and radioanalysis probe for gastric cancer.
碘标记的F56肽被设计为F56(肽WHSDMEWWYLLG)的放射性类似物,用于与血管内皮生长因子受体1(VEGFR1)结合。它以高放射化学产率和比活度合成。测试了碘-F56的稳定性,并通过VEGFR1阳性的BGC-823细胞中的细胞摄取和结合亲和力测量证实了碘-F56的生物活性。使用荷人胃癌BGC-823的裸鼠,通过无创微型单光子发射计算机断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(micro-SPECT/CT)成像研究了碘-F56示踪剂的时间-放射性关系和生物分布。通过离体肿瘤组织中碘-F56的放射自显影和苏木精-伊红(HE)染色进一步证实了示踪剂的肿瘤摄取。这些结果表明,碘-F56作为胃癌分子成像和放射分析探针的诊断剂具有巨大潜力。
