All tumor imaging modalities have resolution limits below which deeply situated small metastatic foci may not be identified. Moreover, incomplete lesion excision will affect the outcomes of the patients. Scintigraphy is adept in locating lesions, and second near-infrared window (NIR-II) imaging may allow precise real-time tumor delineation. To achieve complete excision of all lesions, multimodality imaging is a promising method for tumor identification and management. Here, a NIR-II thiopyrylium salt, XB1034, was first synthesized and bound to cetuximab and trans-cyclooctene (TCO) to produce XB1034-cetuximab-TCO. This probe provides excellent sensitivity and high temporal resolution NIR-II imaging in mice bearing tumors developed from human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. To enable PET imaging, Ga-NETA-tetrazine is subsequently injected into the mice to undergo a bio-orthogonal reaction with the preinjected XB1034-cetuximab-TCO. PET images achieved in the tumor models using the pretargeting strategy are of much higher quality than those obtained using the direct radiolabeling method. Moreover, real-time NIR-II imaging allows accurate tumor excision and sentinel lymph node mapping. In conclusion, XB1034 is a promising molecular imaging probe for tumor diagnosis and treatment.
所有的肿瘤成像方式都有分辨率限制,在这些限制以下,深度位置的小转移灶可能无法被识别。此外,病变切除不完全会影响患者的治疗效果。闪烁扫描术擅长定位病变,而近红外二区(NIR-II)成像可能允许精确的实时肿瘤描绘。为了实现所有病变的完全切除,多模态成像技术是肿瘤识别和管理的一种很有前途的方法。在这里,首次合成了一种 NIR-II 噻吩盐 XB1034,并将其与西妥昔单抗和反式环辛烯(TCO)结合,得到 XB1034-西妥昔单抗-TCO。该探针在携带人乳腺癌细胞 MDA-MB-231 发展而来的肿瘤的小鼠中提供了出色的灵敏度和高时间分辨率的 NIR-II 成像。为了进行 PET 成像,随后向小鼠中注射 Ga-NETA-四嗪,使其与预先注射的 XB1034-西妥昔单抗-TCO 发生生物正交反应。使用前靶向策略在肿瘤模型中获得的 PET 图像质量远高于使用直接放射性标记方法获得的图像质量。此外,实时 NIR-II 成像允许精确的肿瘤切除和前哨淋巴结定位。总之,XB1034 是一种很有前途的用于肿瘤诊断和治疗的分子成像探针。
