Abstract

Objective: To investigate the value of 2-(3-[¹⁸F]fluoropropyl)-2-methyl-malonic acid ([¹⁸F]ML-8) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of rat pulmonary fibrosis.

Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 2 groups, including pulmonary fibrosis model group and control group. The rat model was established by an intratracheal instillation of bleomycin (BLM). Control rats were treated with saline. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) with [¹⁸F]ML-8 or ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([¹⁸F]FDG) was performed on 2 groups. After PET/CT imaging, lung tissues were collected for histologic examination. Data were analyzed and comparisons between 2 groups were performed using Student t test.

Results: Bleomycin-treated rats showed a higher lung uptake of [¹⁸F]ML-8 than control rats ( P < .05). In BLM-treated rats, the lung to muscle relative uptake ratio of [¹⁸F]ML-8 was also higher than that of [¹⁸F]FDG ( P < .05). Pathological examination showed overproliferation of fibroblasts and deposition of collagen in lungs from BLM-treated rats. Compared to control rats, BLM-treated rats had higher lung hydroxyproline content ( P < .05). Immunofluorescence staining indicated more apoptotic cells in BLM-treated rats than those in control rats. Moreover, the apoptosis rate of lung tissues obtained from BLM-treated rats was higher than that from control rats ( P < .05).

Conclusions: 2-(3-[¹⁸F]fluoropropyl)-2-methyl-malonic acid PET/CT could be used for noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis in a rat model.

[18F]ML-8对大鼠肺纤维化细胞凋亡的PET显像

目的:探讨2-(3-[18F]氟丙基)-2-甲基丙二酸([18F]ML-8)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)对大鼠肺纤维化的成像价值。方法:雄性Sprague-Dawley大鼠分为肺纤维化模型组和对照组。采用气管内滴注博来霉素(BLM)建立大鼠模型。对照组大鼠给予生理盐水处理。两组分别用[18F]ML-8或18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖([18F]FDG)进行正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(CT)。PET/CT成像后，收集肺组织进行组织学检查。采用Student t检验对两组数据进行分析和比较。结果:博莱霉素处理大鼠肺对[18F]ML-8的摄取高于对照组(P < 0.05)。在blm处理的大鼠中，[18F]ML-8的肺肌相对摄取比也高于[18F]FDG (P < 0.05)。病理检查显示blm处理大鼠肺内成纤维细胞过度增生，胶原沉积。与对照组相比，blm处理大鼠肺羟脯氨酸含量较高(P < 0.05)。免疫荧光染色显示，blm处理大鼠的凋亡细胞多于对照组。blm处理大鼠肺组织细胞凋亡率明显高于对照组(P < 0.05)。结论:2-(3-[18F]氟丙基)-2-甲基丙二酸PET/CT可用于大鼠肺纤维化模型的无创诊断。
