Abstract

Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) activation plays a key role in vascular inflammatory response. Here, we report in vivo validation of [¹¹C]TZ3321, a potent S1PR1 radioligand, for imaging vascular inflammation in a rat model of carotid injury. The right common carotid artery of male adult Sprague-Dawley rats was injured by balloon overinflation that denuded the endothelium and distended the vessel wall. Animals received a 60-minute micro-positron emission tomography (micro PET) scan with [¹¹C]TZ3321 at 72 hours after injury. Ex vivo autoradiography was also conducted. The expression and cellular location of S1PR1 were examined by immunohistological analysis. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the first 100-second microPET/computed tomography (CT) image indicated the location of bilateral common carotid arteries. [¹¹C]TZ3321 displayed significantly higher accumulation (standardized uptake values: 0.93 ± 0.07 vs 0.78 ± 0.09, n = 6, P = .001) in the injured carotid artery than in the contralateral side. Increased tracer uptake in the injured artery was confirmed by autoradiography (photostimulated luminescence measures: 85.5 ± 0.93 vs 71.48 ± 6.22, n = 2). Concordantly, high S1PR1expression was observed in infiltrated inflammatory cells in the injured artery. Our studies demonstrate [¹¹C]TZ3321 microPET is able to detect the acute upregulation of S1PR1 expression in inflamed carotid artery. Therefore, [¹¹C]TZ3321 has potential to be a PET radiotracer for detecting early inflammatory response and monitoring therapeutic efficacy of vascular inflammation.

颈动脉损伤大鼠血管炎症反应中鞘氨醇-1-磷酸受体1表达的PET研究

鞘氨醇-1-磷酸受体(S1PR)的激活在血管炎症反应中起关键作用。在这里，我们报道了[11C]TZ3321(一种有效的S1PR1放射配体)在大鼠颈动脉损伤模型中用于血管炎症成像的体内验证。雄性成年sd大鼠右颈总动脉球囊过度膨胀，内皮脱落，血管壁扩张。动物在损伤后72小时用[11C]TZ3321进行60分钟的微正电子发射断层扫描(micro PET)。还进行了离体放射自显影。免疫组织学分析检测S1PR1的表达及细胞定位。首100秒微pet /计算机断层扫描(CT)图像的三维重建显示了双侧颈总动脉的位置。[11C]TZ3321在损伤颈动脉中的累积量(标准化摄取值:0.93±0.07 vs 0.78±0.09,n = 6, P = 0.001)明显高于对侧。放射自显影证实损伤动脉示踪剂摄取增加(光刺激发光测量:85.5±0.93 vs 71.48±6.22,n = 2)。同时，在损伤动脉浸润炎性细胞中观察到高s1pr1表达。我们的研究表明[11C]TZ3321微pet能够检测炎症颈动脉中S1PR1表达的急性上调。因此，[11C]TZ3321有潜力成为PET放射性示踪剂，用于检测早期炎症反应和监测血管炎症的治疗效果。
