Abstract: | Purpose We aimed to elucidate trans-1-amino-3-18F]fluorocyclobutanecarboxylic acid (anti-18F]FACBC) uptake mechanisms in inflammatory and tumor cells, in comparison with those of l-methyl-11C]methionine (11C]Met) and 2-deoxy-2-18F]fluoro-d-glucose (18F]FDG). Procedures Using carbon-14-labeled tracers, in vitro time-course, pH dependence, and competitive inhibition uptake experiments were performed in rat inflammatory (T cells, B cells, granulocytes, macrophages), prostate cancer (MLLB2), and glioma (C6) cells. Results Anti-14C]FACBC uptake ratios of T/B cells to tumor cells were comparable, while those of granulocytes/macrophages to tumor cells were lower than those for 14C]FDG. Over half of anti-14C]FACBC uptake by T/B and tumor cells was mediated by Na+-dependent amino acid transporters (system ASC), whereas most 14C]Met transport in all cells was mediated by Na+-independent carriers (system L). Conclusions The low anti-18F]FACBC accumulation in granulocytes/macrophages may be advantageous in discriminating inflamed regions from tumors. The significant anti-18F]FACBC uptake in T/B cells may cause false-positives in some cancer patients who undergo FACBC-positron emission tomography (PET). |
