Single-domain antibody fragments (sdAbs) are promising vectors for immuno-PET; however, better methods for labeling sdAbs with F are needed. Herein, we evaluate a site-specific strategy using an F residualizing motif and the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) sdAb 5F7 bearing an engineered C-terminal GGC tail (5F7GGC). 5F7GGC was site-specifically attached with a tetrazine-bearing agent via thiol-maleimide reaction. The resultant conjugate was labeled with F by inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition with a -cyclooctene attached to 6-F-fluoronicotinoyl moiety via a renal brush border enzyme-cleavable linker and a PEG chain (F-5F7GGC). For comparisons, 5F7 sdAb was labeled using the prototypical residualizing agent, -succinimidyl 3-(guanidinomethyl)-5-I-iodobenzoate (-I-SGMIB). The 2 labeled sdAbs were compared in paired-label studies performed in the HER2-expressing BT474M1 breast carcinoma cell line and athymic mice bearing BT474M1 subcutaneous xenografts. Small-animal PET/CT imaging after administration of F-5F7GGC in the above mouse model was also performed. F-5F7GGC was synthesized in an overall radiochemical yield of 8.9% ± 3.2% with retention of HER2 binding affinity and immunoreactivity. The total cell-associated and intracellular activity for F-5F7GGC was similar to that for coincubated -I-SGMIB-5F7. Likewise, the uptake of F-5F7GGC in BT474M1 xenografts in mice was similar to that for -I-SGMIB-5F7; however, F-5F7GGC exhibited significantly more rapid clearance from the kidney. Small-animal PET/CT imaging confirmed high uptake and retention in the tumor with very little background activity at 3 h except in the bladder. This site-specific and residualizing F-labeling strategy could facilitate clinical translation of 5F7 anti-HER2 sdAb as well as other sdAbs for immuno-PET.
单域抗体片段(sdAb)是免疫 PET 的有前途的载体;然而,需要更好的方法来用 F 标记 sdAb。在此,我们评估了一种使用 F 残基化基序和带有工程化 C 末端 GGC 尾巴的抗表皮生长因子受体 2(HER2)sdAb 5F7 的定点策略,该 sdAb 带有一个硫醇-马来酰亚胺反应的四嗪。通过硫醇-马来酰亚胺反应,将带有四嗪的试剂特异性地连接到 5F7GGC 的 C 末端。所得缀合物通过反向电子需求 Diels-Alder 环加成用通过肾脏刷状缘酶可切割接头和 PEG 链连接到 6-F-氟代烟酰基部分的环辛烯(F-5F7GGC)标记 F。作为比较,使用原型残基化剂 - 琥珀酰亚胺 3-(胍基甲基)-5-I-碘代苯甲酸酯(-I-SGMIB)标记 5F7 sdAb。在表达 HER2 的 BT474M1 乳腺癌细胞系和荷有 BT474M1 皮下异种移植瘤的裸鼠中进行配对标记研究,比较了这 2 种标记的 sdAb。在上述小鼠模型中给予 F-5F7GGC 后,还进行了小动物 PET/CT 成像。F-5F7GGC 的总放射性化学产率为 8.9%±3.2%,保持了与 HER2 结合亲和力和免疫反应性。F-5F7GGC 的总细胞结合和细胞内活性与同时孵育的 -I-SGMIB-5F7 相似。同样,F-5F7GGC 在小鼠 BT474M1 异种移植瘤中的摄取与 -I-SGMIB-5F7 相似;然而,F-5F7GGC 从肾脏中的清除速度明显更快。小动物 PET/CT 成像证实,在肿瘤中有高摄取和保留,除了膀胱外,背景活性非常低,在 3 小时。这种定点和残基化的 F 标记策略可以促进 5F7 抗 HER2 sdAb 以及其他用于免疫 PET 的 sdAb 的临床转化。
