Labeling of RGD peptides with near-infrared fluorophores yields optical probes for noninvasive imaging of tumors overexpressing αvβ3 integrins. An important prerequisite for optimum detection sensitivity in vivo is strongly absorbing and highly emissive probes with a known fluorescence lifetime. The RGD-Cy5.5 optical probe was derived by coupling Cy5.5 to a cyclic arginine–glycine–aspartic acid–d-phenylalanine–lysine (RGDfK) peptide via an aminohexanoic acid spacer. Spectroscopic properties of the probe were studied in different matrices in comparison to Cy5.5. For in vivo imaging, human glioblastoma cells were subcutaneously implanted into nude mice, and in vivo fluorescence intensity and lifetime were measured. The fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime of Cy5.5 were found to be barely affected on RGD conjugation but dramatically changed in the presence of proteins. By time domain fluorescence imaging, we demonstrated specific binding of RGD-Cy5.5 to glioblastoma xenografts in nude mice. Discrimination of unspecific fluorescence by lifetime-gated analysis further enhanced the detection sensitivity of RGD-Cy5.5-derived signals. We characterized RGD-Cy5.5 as a strongly emissive and stable probe adequate for selective targeting of αvβ3 integrins. The specificity and thus the overall detection sensitivity in vivo were optimized with lifetime gating, based on the previous determination of the probes fluorescence lifetime under application-relevant conditions.

Abstract Background and PurposeTechnetium 99m-dimeric cyclic RGD peptides with three polyethylene glycol spacers (99mTc-3PRGD2) had a good performance for diagnosing breast cancer. The prospective study was to assess the performance of 99mTc-3PRGD2 tumor imaging for predicting pathological complete response (pCR) outcomes to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer patients.Materials and MethodsForty-one patients were examined using both 99mTc-3PRGD2 and 18F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (18F-FDG) imaging before NAC (baseline), and after the first and fifth NAC cycle. The tumor-to-background (T/B) ratios for 99mTc-3PRGD2 imaging and the maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) from the 18F-FDG imaging in breast tumors and axillary lymph node (ALN) metastases were separately calculated and analyzed—based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. ResultsFinally, pCR was achieved in 13 of 41 patients after NAC. The area under curve (AUC) of T/B changes (ΔT/B) in breast tumors for predicting pCR after first and fifth cycle were 0.827 and 0.687, and 0.859 and 0.778 in ALN metastases, respectively. For SUVmax changes (ΔSUVmax), the ROC-AUC were 0.859 and 0.713, as well as 0.572 and 0.802, respectively. In breast tumors, the AUCs of ΔT/B1 and ΔSUVmax1 had no significant difference (P > 0.05). However, the AUC of ΔT/B1 was significantly higher than for ΔSUVmax1 in ALN metastases (Z = 2.10, P = 0.035). Additionally, the T/B1 trends for breast tumor and ALN in pCR group were higher than for non-pCR group in HER2-positive patients (P﹤0.05). ConclusionsCompared with 18F-FDG imaging, our study shows that use of 99mTc-3PRGD2 imaging offered a similar level of predictive performance for breast cancer pCR to NAC, and early T/B1 trends of ALN showed an higher performance for predicting pCR.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02742168.

In this study, we have compared four 68Ga-labeled peptides (three Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides and substance-P) with two 18F-tracers clinically approved for tumor imaging. We have studied in vitro and in vivo characteristics of selected radiolabeled tracers in a glioblastoma multiforme tumor model. The in vitro part of the study was mainly focused on the evaluation of radiotracers stability under various conditions. We have also determined in vivo stability of studied 68Ga-radiotracers by analysis of murine urine collected at various time points after injection. The in vivo behavior of tested 68Ga-peptides was evaluated through ex vivo biodistribution studies and PET/CT imaging. The obtained data were compared with clinically used 18F-tracers. 68Ga-RGD peptides showed better imaging properties compared to 18F-tracers, i.e., higher tumor/background ratios and no accumulation in non-target organs except for excretory organs.
