Popis: | Bombesin is a tetradecapeptide neurohormone that binds to gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRPR). GRPRs have been found in a variety of cancers including invasive breast and prostate tumors. The peptide MP2346 (DOTA-(Pro(1),Tyr(4))-bombesin(1-14)) was designed to bind to these GRP receptors. This study was undertaken to evaluate radiolabeled MP2346 as a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent. MP2346 was radiolabeled, in high radiochemical purity, with the positron-emitting nuclides (64)Cu (t(1/2) = 12.7 h, beta+ = 19.3%, E(avg) = 278 keV) and (86)Y (t(1/2) = 14.7 h, beta+ = 33%, E(avg) = 664 keV). (64)Cu-MP2346 and (86)Y-MP2346 were studied in vitro for cellular internalization by GRPR-expressing PC-3 (human prostate adenocarcinoma) cells. Both (64)Cu- and (86)Y-MP2346 were studied in vivo for tissue distribution in nude mice with PC-3 tumors. Biodistribution in PC3 tumor-bearing mice demonstrated higher tumor uptake, but lower liver retention, in animals injected with (86)Y-MP2346 compared to (64)Cu-MP2346. Receptor-mediated uptake was confirmed by a significant reduction in uptake in the PC-3 tumor and other receptor-rich tissues by coinjection of a blockade. Small animal PET/CT imaging was carried out in mice bearing PC-3 tumors and rats bearing AR42J tumors. It was possible to delineate PC-3 tumors in vivo with (64)Cu-MP2346, but superior (86)Y-MP2346-PET images were obtained due to lower uptake in clearance organs and lower background activity. The (86)Y analogue demonstrated excellent PET image quality in models of prostate cancer for the delineation of the GRPR-rich tumors and warrants further investigation. |
