Purpose
In vivo imaging of αvβ3 has important diagnostic and therapeutic applications. 18F-Galacto-arginine–glycine–aspartic acid (RGD) has been developed for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of integrin αvβ3 expression and is now being tested on humans. Dimerization and multimerization of cyclic RGD peptides have been reported to improve the integrin αvβ3-binding affinity due to the polyvalency effect. Here, we compared a number of new dimeric RGD peptide tracers with the clinically used 18F-galacto-RGD.Procedures
RGD monomers and dimers were coupled with galacto or PEG3 linkers, and labeled with 18F using 4-nitrophenyl 2-18F-fluoropropionate (18F-NFP) or N-succinimidyl 4-18F-fluorobenzoate as a prosthetic group. The newly developed tracers were evaluated by cell-based receptor-binding assay, biodistribution, and small-animal PET studies in a subcutaneous U87MG glioblastoma xenograft model.Results
Starting with 18F-F?, the total reaction time for 18F-FP-SRGD2 and 18F-FP-PRGD2 is about 120 min. The decay-corrected radiochemical yields for 18F-FP-SRGD2 and 18F-FP-PRGD2 are 52?±?9% and 80?±?7% calculated from 18F-NFP. Noninvasive small-animal PET and direct tissue sampling experiments demonstrated that the dimeric RGD peptides had significantly higher tumor uptake as compared to 18F-galacto-RGD.Conclusion
Dimeric RGD peptide tracers with relatively high tumor integrin-specific accumulation and favorable in vivo kinetics may have the potential to be translated into clinic for integrin αvβ3 imaging.2.

Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the value of 99mtechnetium-three polyethylene glycol spacers-arginine-glycine-aspartic acid ([99mTc]3PRGD2) imaging in diagnosis and staging of breast cancer compared with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) imaging, and to explore the expression of integrin αvβ3 in tumor vascular endothelial cells.Procedures
Forty-two women with suspected breast cancer underwent both [99mTc]3PRGD2 imaging and [18F]FDG imaging. Visual analysis was used to assess primary breast lesion, axillary lymph node, and distant metastasis. The tumor-blood (T/B) ratios from [99mTc]3PRGD2 imaging and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) from [18F]FDG imaging were analyzed for breast lesions. Integrin αvβ3 was analyzed through immunohistochemistry.Results
Forty-five breast lesions were found (malignant, n?=?38; benign, n?=?7). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of [99mTc]3PRGD2 and [18F]FDG imaging in visual analysis for the breast lesion were 97.4, 87.5, and 95.6 % and 97.4, 71.4, and 93.3 %, respectively (P?>?0.05). For semi-quantitative analysis, no significant difference of the area under the curves (AUC) was found in the imaging using the two radiopharmaceuticals (0.880 and 0.955; Z?=?0.88, P?>?0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for axillary lymph node metastasis with [99mTc]3PRGD2 and [18F]FDG were 78.05, 99.36, and 94.92 % and 85.37, 98.72, and 95.64 %, respectively (P?>?0.05). Nine patients with distant metastases were all detected with the two radiopharmaceuticals. The expression of integrin αvβ3 was correlated with [99mTc]3PRGD2 uptake (r?=?0.582, P?=?0.001), which were significantly higher in the HER2-positive and stage III–IV patients (P?<?0.05).Conclusions
The prospective study demonstrated that [99mTc]3PRGD2 imaging seems to be valuable for diagnosis of breast cancer and its staging. It may be less sensitive for detecting small lymph node metastatic lesions when compared with [18F]FDG imaging. Integrin αvβ3 in tumor microvessels was associated with the breast cancer subtype and its staging.4.

Purpose
To compare targeted imaging of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors vs. αvβ3 integrins in a mouse hindlimb ischemia model of peripheral artery disease.Procedures
Male wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice (8- to 10-week old) (n?=?24) underwent left femoral artery ligation. The right leg served as control. Five days later, mice were injected with either VEGF receptor targeting [99mTc]DOTA-PEG-scVEGF ([99mTc]scV) (n?=?8) or with αvβ3-targeting tracer [99mTc]HYNIC-cycloRGD ([99mTc]RGD) (n?=?8) and underwent single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) x-ray computed tomography imaging. To assess non-specific [99mTc]scV uptake, six additional mice received a mixture of [99mTc]scV and 30-fold excess of targeting protein, scVEGF. Tracer uptake as %ID was measured using volumetric regions encompassing the hindlimb muscles and as %ID/g from harvested limb muscles. Double and triple immunofluorescent analysis on tissue sections established localization of αvβ3, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, as well as certain cell lineage markers.Results
Tracer uptake, as %ID/g, was higher in ligated limbs of mice injected with [99mTc]scV compared to ligated hindlimbs in mice injected with [99mTc]RGD (p?=?0.02). The ratio of tracer uptake for ligated/control hindlimb was borderline higher for [99mTc]scV than for [99mTc]RGD (p?=?0.06). Immunofluorescent analysis showed higher prevalence of VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and αvβ3, in damaged vs. undamaged hindlimb tissue, but with little co-localization of these markers. Double immunofluorescent staining showed partial co-localization of VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and αvβ3, with endothelial cell marker FVIII, but not with CD31. Immunostaining for VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 additionally co-localized with lineage markers for endothelial progenitor cell and monocytes/macrophages, with a more diverse pattern of co-localization for VEGFR-2.Conclusion
In a mouse hindlimb ischemia model of peripheral artery disease, [99mTc]scV SPECT tracer-targeting VEGF receptors showed a more robust signal than [99mTc]RGD tracer-targeting αvβ3. Immunofluorescent analysis suggests that uptake of [99mTc]scV and [99mTc]RGD in damaged tissue is due to non-overlapping cell populations and reflects different dynamic processes and that enhanced uptake of [99mTc]scV may be due to the presence of VEGF receptors on additional cell types.5.

Purpose
Molecular imaging of αvβ3 integrin has exhibited real potential to guide the appropriate use of anti-angiogenic therapies. However, an incomplete understanding of the factors that influence binding of αvβ3 integrin-specific radiotracers currently limits their use for assessing response to therapy in cancer patients. This study identifies two fundamental factors that modulate uptake of these radiotracers.ProceduresExperiments were performed in prostate cancer (PC3) and glioblastoma (U87MG) cells, which differentially express αvβ3 integrin. αvβ3 integrin-specific radiotracers were used to investigate the effect of manipulating αvβ3 integrin expression or activation in cellular binding assays. β3 integrin and αvβ3 integrin expression were measured by western blotting and flow cytometry, respectively. The effect of select pharmacological inhibitors on αvβ3 integrin activation and expression was also determined.Results
Radiotracer binding was proportional to αvβ3 integrin expression when it was decreased (β3 knock-down cells) or increased, either using pharmacological inhibitors of cell signalling or by culturing cells for different times. Studies with both small molecule and arginine–glycine–aspartic acid (RGD)-based radiotracers revealed increased radiotracer binding after activation of αvβ3 integrin with Mn2+ or talin head domain. Moreover, inhibition of fundamental signalling pathways (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), Src and VEGFR2) decreased radiotracer binding, reflecting reduced αvβ3 integrin activity.Conclusion
Binding of small molecule ligands and radiolabelled RGD peptides is modulated by expression and activation status of αvβ3 integrin. αvβ3 integrin-specific radiotracers can provide otherwise inaccessible information of the effect of signalling pathways on αvβ3 integrin. This has significant implications for assessing response to anti-angiogenic therapies in clinical studies.6.

Purpose
Increased expression of the αvβ6 integrin correlates with advanced tumor grade and poor clinical outcome, identifying αvβ6 as a prognostic indicator and an attractive target for molecular imaging. This work investigated the ability of a disulfide-stabilized [64Cu]NOTA-αvβ6 cys-diabody to image αvβ6 expression in vivo using a nu/nu mouse model bearing human melanoma xenografts and positron-emission tomography.Procedures
Small-animal positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, quantitative ROI analysis, and ex vivo biodistribution were conducted to ascertain tumor uptake and organ distribution of the [64Cu]NOTA-αvβ6 cys-diabody. Immunohistochemical staining of tumors and mouse organs and immunoreactivity assays were utilized to correlate in vivo and ex vivo observations.Results
PET imaging of the [64Cu]NOTA-αvβ6 cys-diabody revealed low tumor uptake at 24 h p.i. in DX3Puroβ6 tumors (2.69 ± 0.45 %ID/g) with comparable results found in the DX3Puro tumors (2.24 ± 0.15 %ID/g). Quantitative biodistribution confirmed that DX3Puroβ6 tumor uptake was highest at 24 h p.i. (4.63 ± 0.18 %ID/g); however, uptake was also observed in the stomach (4.84 ± 2.99 %ID/g), small intestines (4.50 ± 1.69 %ID/g), large intestines (4.73 ± 0.97 %ID/g), gallbladder (6.04 ± 1.88 %ID/g), and lungs (3.89 ± 0.69 %ID/g).Conclusions
Small-animal PET imaging was successful in visualizing αvβ6-positive tumor uptake of the [64Cu]NOTA-αvβ6 cys-diabody. Cys-diabody cross-reactivity was observed between human and murine αvβ6 and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the presence of an endogenous αvβ6 antigen sink, which led to suboptimal tumor contrast in this mouse model. Future investigations will focus on dose escalation studies to overcome the endogenous antigen sink while increasing DX3Puroβ6 tumor uptake.7.

Background
It is well accepted that functional activity of platelet integrin αIIbβ3 is crucial for hemostasis and thrombosis. The β3 subunit of the complex undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation shown to be critical for outside-in integrin signaling and platelet clot retraction ex vivo. However, the role of this important signaling event in other aspects of prothrombotic platelet function is unknown.Method
Here, we assess the role of β3 tyrosine phosphorylation in platelet function regulation with a knock-in mouse strain, where two β3 cytoplasmic tyrosines are mutated to phenylalanine (DiYF). We employed platelet transfusion technique and intravital microscopy for observing the cellular events involved in specific steps of thrombus growth to investigate in detail the role of β3 tyrosine phosphorylation in arterial thrombosis in vivo.Results
Upon injury, DiYF mice exhibited delayed arterial occlusion and unstable thrombus formation. The mean thrombus volume in DiYF mice formed on collagen was only 50% of that in WT. This effect was attributed to DiYF platelets but not to other blood cells and endothelium, which also carry these mutations. Transfusion of isolated DiYF but not WT platelets into irradiated WT mice resulted in reversal of the thrombotic phenotype and significantly prolonged blood vessel occlusion times. DiYF platelets exhibited reduced adhesion to collagen under in vitro shear conditions compared to WT platelets. Decreased platelet microparticle release after activation, both in vitro and in vivo, were observed in DiYF mice compared to WT mice.Conclusion
β3 tyrosine phosphorylation of platelet αIIbβ3 regulates both platelet pro-thrombotic activity and the formation of a stable platelet thrombus, as well as arterial microparticle release.8.

Low flow anesthesia increases the use of CO2 absorbents, but independent data that compare canister life of the newest CO2 absorbents are scarce. Seven different pre-packed CO2 canisters were tested in vitro: Amsorb Plus, Spherasorb, LoFloSorb, Medisorb, Medisorb EF, LithoLyme, and SpiraLith. CO2 (160 mL min?1) flowed into the tip of a 2 L breathing bag that was ventilated with a tidal volume of 500 mL, a respiratory rate of 10/min, and an I:E ratio of 1:1 using the controlled mechanical ventilation mode of the Aisys ® (GE, Madison, WI, USA). In part I, canister life of each brand (all of the same lot) was tested with 12 different fresh gas flows (FGF) ranging from 0.25 to 4 L min?1. In part II, canister life of six canisters each of two different lots of each brand were tested with a 350 mL min?1 FGF. Canister life is presented as “FCU”, fractional canister usage, the fraction of a canister used per hour, and is defined for the inspired CO2 concentration (FICO2) that denotes exhaustion. In part III, canister life per 100 g fresh granule content was calculated. FCU decreased linearly with increasing FGF. The relative position of the FCU–FGF curves of the different brands depends on the FICO2 threshold because the exhaustion rate (the rate of rise once FICO2 starts to increase) differs among the brands. Intra-lot variability was 18 % or less. The different prepacks can be ranked according their efficiency (least to most efficient) as follows: Amsorb Plus = Medisorb EF < LoFloSorb < Medisorb = Spherasorb = LithoLyme < SpiraLith (all for an FICO2 threshold = 0.5 %). Canister life per 100 g fresh granule content is almost twice as long when LiOH is used as the primary absorbent. The most important factors that determine canister life of prepacks in a circle breathing system are the chemical composition of the canister, the absolute amount of absorbent present in the canister, and the FICO2 replacement threshold. The use of the fractional canister usage allows cost comparisons among different prepacks. Results should not be extrapolated to prepacks that fit onto other anesthesia machines. 相似文献

Physicians often need to measure arterial PCO2 in clinical practice. Arterial blood gas sampling is typically available only in hospitals and may be unpleasant for patients. Minimally invasive techniques for measuring PCO2 offer the potential for overcoming these limitations. The MicroStat monitor non-invasively measures PCO2 in the sublingual tissues, which should track arterial PCO2 in hemodynamically stable patients. This was a prospective observational study. Patients undergoing routine cardiac catheterization were recruited. Following arterial cannulation, two sequential sublingual PCO2 measurements were taken and a contemporaneous arterial sample was sent for blood gas analysis. For each subject we calculated the mean sublingual–arterial CO2 gradient and the test–retest sublingual PCO2 difference. Twenty-five patients were studied. Mean sublingual–arterial PCO2 gradient was +6.8 mmHg (95 % limits of agreement ?3.0 to 16.6 mmHg). Test–retest difference was 3.4 mmHg (95 % limits of agreement ?1.1 to 7.9 mmHg), p = 0.11 (Wilcoxon test), repeatability was 11 mmHg. The MicroStat sublingual PCO2 monitor over-estimates arterial PCO2 with wide limits of agreement. Test–retest repeatability was poor. Use of sublingual PCO2 monitoring with the MicroStat monitor cannot currently replace blood gas sampling. 相似文献

Purpose
Currently available positron-emitting radiotracers for imaging of the α4β2 subtype of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) exhibit high and moderate specific binding in the thalamus and extra-thalamic brain regions, respectively. In many neuropsychiatric disorders, α4β2-nAChRs are altered in the extra-thalamic brain regions, but not necessarily in the thalamus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate [18F]XTRA, a new α4β2-nAChR positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand with improved specific binding in extra-thalamic brain regions, in non-human primates.Procedures
The regional distribution of [18F]XTRA in the brain of Papio anubis baboons was evaluated in baseline and blocking experiments. Various PET modeling procedures were used for determination of volume of distribution (V T), binding potential (BPND), and receptor occupancy. Radiation dosimetry for [18F]XTRA was studied in male CD-1 mice and extrapolated to human dosimetry estimates using OLINDA/EXM software.Results
[18F]XTRA was synthesized using an automated radiochemistry module with 25 % decay-corrected radiochemical yield. [18F]XTRA readily enters the baboon brain and specifically labels α4β2-nAChRs. Mathematical modeling demonstrates high binding potential values (BPND = 7 and 1.3 in the thalamus and frontal cortex, respectively). A PET scanning time of 90–120 min was sufficient to obtain stable V T values in the extra-thalamic regions. The extrapolated human effective dose was 0.041 mSv/MBq (0.15 Rem/mCi).Conclusion
[18F]XTRA exhibits improved specific binding in the baboon brain including extra-thalamic regions and it is considered radiologically acceptable for human studies. Further evaluations of [18F]XTRA in human subjects are under way.12.

Purpose
Molecular imaging has the potential to provide quantitative information about specific biological aspects of developing atherosclerotic lesions. This requires the generation of reliable, highly specific plaque tracers. This study reports a new camelid single-domain antibody fragment (sdAb) targeting the Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1), a biomarker for the detection and molecular phenotyping of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.Procedures
A camelid sdAb was generated and selected for high affinity binding to LOX-1. Ex vivo biodistribution and in vivo single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) imaging studies were performed in wild-type mice and in fat-fed atherosclerotic apolipoprotein E-deficient mice with 99mTc-labeled sdAbs. Gamma-counting and autoradiography analyses were performed on dissected aorta segments with different degrees of plaque burden. The specificity of the LOX-1-targeting sdAb was evaluated by blocking with unlabeled sdAb or by comparison with a nontargeting 99mTc-labeled control sdAb.Results
We generated a sdAb binding LOX-1 with a KD of 280 pM?±?62 pM affinity. After 99mTc-labeling, the tracer had radiochemical purity higher then 99 % and retained specificity in in vitro binding studies. Tracer blood clearance was fast with concomitant high kidney retention. At 3 h after injection, uptake in tissues other than plaques was low and not different than background, suggesting a restricted expression pattern of LOX-1. Conversely, uptake in aortic segments increased with plaque content and was due to specific LOX-1 binding. In vivo SPECT/CT imaging 160 min after injection in atherosclerotic mice confirmed specific targeting of LOX-1-expressing aortic plaques.Conclusions
The LOX-sdAb specifically targets LOX-1-expressing atherosclerotic plaques within hours after injection. The possibility to image LOX-1 rapidly after administration combined with the favourable biodistribution of a sdAb are beneficial for molecular phenotyping of atherosclerotic plaques and the generation of a future prognostic tracer.14.

Introduction
The long-acting muscarinic antagonist tiotropium bromide is approved in many countries as maintenance therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Tiotropium is available as a dry-powder formulation delivered via HandiHaler® (18 μg once daily) and is now also approved as an aqueous solution delivered via the Respimat® Soft Mist? Inhaler (5 μg once daily, 2 puffs of 2.5 µg). Several studies have compared the efficacy of tiotropium HandiHaler (18 μg once daily) with different doses of Respimat. We aimed to compare available bronchodilator efficacy data of once-daily Respimat 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 µg, and HandiHaler 18 µg to investigate which dose of tiotropium delivered by Respimat is the closest match to tiotropium HandiHaler.Methods
Evaluation of six clinical trials (duration from 3 weeks to 2–3 years) that included lung function measures (trough forced expiratory volume in 1 s and trough forced vital capacity) as key outcomes.Results
In the six trials, bronchodilator efficacy of Respimat 5 μg and HandiHaler 18 μg was similar; however, reduced bronchodilator efficacy was observed with lower doses of Respimat (1.25 and 2.5 μg).Conclusion
These findings support the use of the marketed once-daily dose of Respimat 5 μg for the maintenance treatment of patients with COPD.Funding

Purpose
The goal of this study was to determine the specificity of 64Cu-CB-TE2A-c(RGDyK) (64Cu-RGD) for osteoclast-related diseases, such as Paget's disease or rheumatoid arthritis.Procedures
C57BL/6 mice were treated systemically with osteoprotegerin (OPG) for 15?days or RANKL for 11?days to suppress and stimulate osteoclastogenesis, respectively. The mice were then imaged by positron emission tomography/computed tomography using 64Cu-RGD, followed by determination of serum TRAP5b and bone histology. Standard uptake values were determined to quantify 64Cu-RGD in bones and other tissues.Results
Mice treated with OPG showed decreased bone uptake of 64Cu-RGD at 1, 2, and 24?h post-injection of the tracer (p?<?0.01 for all time points) compared to vehicle controls, which correlated with a post-treatment decrease in serum TRAP5b. In contrast, mice treated with RANKL showed significantly increased bone uptake at 2?h post-injection of 64Cu-RGD (p?<?0.05) compared to the vehicle control group, corresponding to increased serum TRAP5b and OC numbers as determined by bone histology.Conclusions
These data demonstrate that 64Cu-RGD localizes to areas in bone with increased osteoclast numbers and support the use of 64Cu-RGD as an imaging biomarker for osteoclast number that could be used to monitor osteoclast-related pathologies and their treatments. 相似文献16.

Introduction
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapies with antibodies and small molecular EGFR kinase inhibitors have shown poor efficacy in unselected populations of patients with advanced non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC). In contrast, patients with overexpression of EGFR and activating mutations in EGFR kinase domain demonstrated improved responses to EGFR kinase inhibitors. Therefore, we have developed a novel radiotracer, [18F]F-PEG6-IPQA for PET imaging of EGFR expression-activity in NSCLC, and have described its radiosynthesis and in vitro evaluation in two NSCLC cell lines with wild-type and L858R active mutant EGFR. 相似文献19.

Purpose
We recently reported that high thymidine phosphorylase (TP) expression is accompanied by low tumor thymidine concentration and high 3′-deoxy-3′-[18F]fluorothymidine ([18F]FLT) uptake in four untreated lung cancer xenografts. Here, we investigated whether this relationship also holds true for a broader range of tumor models.Procedures
Lysates from n = 15 different tumor models originating from n = 6 institutions were tested for TP and thymidylate synthase (TS) expression using western blots. Results were correlated to [18F]FLT accumulation in the tumors as determined by positron emission tomography (PET) measurements in the different institutions and to previously published thymidine concentrations.Results
Expression of TP correlated positively with [18F]FLT SUVmax (ρ = 0.549, P < 0.05). Furthermore, tumors with high TP levels possessed lower levels of thymidine (ρ = ??0.939, P < 0.001).Conclusions
In a broad range of tumors, [18F]FLT uptake as measured by PET is substantially influenced by TP expression and tumor thymidine concentrations. These data strengthen the role of TP as factor confounding [18F]FLT uptake.20.
