The development of radioligands targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) has shown promising results for the imaging and therapy of prostate cancer. However, studies have shown that tumors and metastases can express such targets heterogeneously. To overcome this issue and to improve protein binding, radioligands with the ability to bind both PSMA and GRPR have been developed. Herein, we present the preclinical characterization of [Ga]Ga-BQ7812; a PSMA/GRPR-targeting radioligand for the diagnostic PET imaging of prostate cancer. This study aimed to evaluate [Ga]Ga-BQ7812 to promote the translation of such imaging probes into the clinic. [Ga]Ga-BQ7812 demonstrated rapid and specific binding to both targets in a PSMA/GRPR-expressing PC3-pip cell line. Results from the biodistribution study in PC3-pip xenografted mice showed specific binding to both targets, with the highest activity uptake at 1 h pi in tumor (PSMA+/GRPR+, 10.4 ± 1.0% IA/g), kidneys (PSMA+, 45 ± 16% IA/g), and pancreas (GRPR+, 5.6 ± 0.7% IA/g). At 3h pi, increased tumour-to-organ ratios could be seen due to higher retention in the tumor compared with other PSMA or GRPR-expressing organs. These results, together with low toxicity and an acceptable estimated dosimetry profile (total effective dose = 0.0083 mSv/MBq), support the clinical translation of [Ga]Ga-BQ7812 and represent a step towards its first clinical trial.
靶向前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)和胃泌素释放肽受体(GRPR)的放射性配体的开发,在前列腺癌的成像和治疗方面已显示出有前景的结果。然而,研究表明肿瘤和转移灶可能会异质性地表达这些靶点。为了克服这一问题并改善蛋白质结合,已开发出能够同时结合PSMA和GRPR的放射性配体。在此,我们展示了[镓]Ga-BQ7812的临床前特性;这是一种用于前列腺癌诊断性PET成像的靶向PSMA/GRPR的放射性配体。本研究旨在评估[镓]Ga-BQ7812,以促进此类成像探针向临床转化。[镓]Ga-BQ7812在表达PSMA/GRPR的PC3-pip细胞系中显示出对这两个靶点的快速且特异性结合。在PC3-pip异种移植小鼠中进行的生物分布研究结果显示,对这两个靶点均有特异性结合,在注射后1小时肿瘤(PSMA+/GRPR+,10.4±1.0%IA/g)、肾脏(PSMA+,45±16%IA/g)和胰腺(GRPR+,5.6±0.7%IA/g)中的活性摄取最高。在注射后3小时,由于与其他表达PSMA或GRPR的器官相比,肿瘤中的滞留更高,因此可以看到肿瘤与器官的比率增加。这些结果,连同低毒性和可接受的估计剂量学特征(总有效剂量=0.0083mSv/MBq),支持[镓]Ga-BQ7812向临床转化,并代表着迈向其首次临床试验的一步。
