The Potential Utility of (2S,4R)-4-[18F]fluoroglutamine as a Novel Metabolic Imaging Marker for Inflammation Explored by Rat Models of Arthritis and Paw Edema.
Purpose: (2S,4R)-4-[18F]fluoroglutamine ([18F]FGln) is a promising metabolic imaging marker in cancer. Based on the fact that major inflammatory cells are heavily dependent on glutamine metabolism like cancer cells, we explored the potential utility of [18F]FGln as a metabolic imaging marker for inflammation in two rat models: carrageenan-induced paw edema (CIPE) and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).
Procedures: The CIPE model (n = 4) was generated by injecting 200 µL of 3% carrageenan solution into the left hind paw three hours before the PET. The CIA model (n = 4) was generated by injecting 200 µg of collagen emulsion subcutaneously at the tail base 3-4 weeks before the PET. A qualitative scoring system was used to assess the severity of paw inflammation. After a CT scan, 15.7 ± 4.9 MBq of [18F]FGln was injected via the tail vein, followed by a dynamic micro-PET scan for 90 min under anesthesia with isoflurane. The standard uptake value of [18F]FGln was measured by placing a volume of interest in each paw. The non-injected right hind paws of the CIPE model rats served as controls for both models. The paws with CIA were pathologically examined after PET.
Results: The CIPE models showed a trend toward higher uptake in the injected paw compared to the non-injected paw (P = 0.068). In CIA models, uptake in the paws with severe inflammation was significantly higher than the controls (P = 0.011), while that with mild and no inflammation was slightly higher (33%) and lower (-7%), respectively. Combined overall, the [18F]FGln uptake in CIA showed a significant positive correlation with inflammation severity (r = 0.88, P = 0.009). The pathological findings confirmed profound inflammation in CIA.
Conclusions: [18F]FGln uptake was increased in both acute and chronic inflammation, and the uptake level was significantly correlated with the severity, suggesting its potential utility as a novel metabolic imaging marker for inflammation.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Imaging and Biology (MIB) invites original contributions (research articles, review articles, commentaries, etc.) on the utilization of molecular imaging (i.e., nuclear imaging, optical imaging, autoradiography and pathology, MRI, MPI, ultrasound imaging, radiomics/genomics etc.) to investigate questions related to biology and health. The objective of MIB is to provide a forum to the discovery of molecular mechanisms of disease through the use of imaging techniques. We aim to investigate the biological nature of disease in patients and establish new molecular imaging diagnostic and therapy procedures.
Some areas that are covered are:
Preclinical and clinical imaging of macromolecular targets (e.g., genes, receptors, enzymes) involved in significant biological processes.
The design, characterization, and study of new molecular imaging probes and contrast agents for the functional interrogation of macromolecular targets.
Development and evaluation of imaging systems including instrumentation, image reconstruction algorithms, image analysis, and display.
Development of molecular assay approaches leading to quantification of the biological information obtained in molecular imaging.
Study of in vivo animal models of disease for the development of new molecular diagnostics and therapeutics.
Extension of in vitro and in vivo discoveries using disease models, into well designed clinical research investigations.
Clinical molecular imaging involving clinical investigations, clinical trials and medical management or cost-effectiveness studies.
