Objectives In patients with prostate cancer (PC) receiving prostate-specific membrane antigen- (PSMA-) targeted radioligand therapy (RLT), higher baseline standardized uptake values (SUVs) are linked to improved outcome. Thus, readers deciding on RLT must have certainty on the repeatability of PSMA uptake metrics. As such, we aimed to evaluate the test-retest repeatability of lesion uptake in a large cohort of patients imaged with 18F-DCFPyL. Methods In this prospective, IRB-approved trial (NCT03793543), 21 patients with history of histologically proven PC underwent two 18F-DCFPyL PET/CTs within 7 days (mean 3.7, range 1 to 7 days). Lesions in the bone, lymph nodes (LN), and other organs were manually segmented on both scans, and uptake parameters were assessed (maximum (SUVmax) and mean (SUVmean) SUVs), PSMA-tumor volume (PSMA-TV), and total lesion PSMA (TL-PSMA, defined as PSMA − TV × SUVmean)). Repeatability was determined using Pearson's correlations, within-subject coefficient of variation (wCOV), and Bland-Altman analysis. Results In total, 230 pairs of lesions (177 bone, 38 LN, and 15 other) were delineated, demonstrating a wide range of SUVmax (1.5–80.5) and SUVmean (1.4–24.8). Including all sites of suspected disease, SUVs had a strong interscan correlation (R2 ≥ 0.99), with high repeatability for SUVmean and SUVmax (wCOV, 7.3% and 12.1%, respectively). High SUVs showed significantly improved wCOV relative to lower SUVs (P < 0.0001), indicating that high SUVs are more repeatable, relative to the magnitude of the underlying SUV. Repeatability for PSMA-TV and TL-PSMA, however, was low (wCOV ≥ 23.5%). Across all metrics for LN and bone lesions, interscan correlation was again strong (R2 ≥ 0.98). Moreover, LN-based SUVmean also achieved the best wCOV (3.8%), which was significantly reduced when compared to osseous lesions (7.8%, P < 0.0001). This was also noted for SUVmax (wCOV, LN 8.8% vs. bone 12.0%, P < 0.03). On a compartment-based level, wCOVs for volumetric features were ≥22.8%, demonstrating no significant differences between LN and bone lesions (PSMA-TV, P =0.63; TL-PSMA, P =0.9). Findings on an entire tumor burden level were also corroborated in a hottest lesion analysis investigating the SUVmax of the most intense lesion per patient (R2, 0.99; wCOV, 11.2%). Conclusion In this prospective test-retest setting, SUV parameters demonstrated high repeatability, in particular in LNs, while volumetric parameters demonstrated low repeatability. Further, the large number of lesions and wide distribution of SUVs included in this analysis allowed for the demonstration of a dependence of repeatability on SUV, with higher SUVs having more robust repeatability.

Immune therapy of T-cell lymphoma requires assessment of tumor-expressed programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1). Herein, we developed an immuno-PET technique that quantitatively images and monitors regulation of PD-1 expression on T-cell lymphomas. Methods. Anti-PD-1 IgG underwent sulfhydryl moiety-specific conjugation with maleimide-deferoxamine and 89Zr labeling. Binding assays and Western blotting were performed in EL4 murine T-cell lymphoma cells. In vivo pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and PET were performed in mice. Results. 89Zr-PD-1 IgG binding to EL4 cells was completely blocked by cold antibodies, confirming excellent target specificity. Following intravenous injection into mice, 89Zr-PD-1 IgG showed biexponential blood clearance and relatively low normal organ uptake after five days. PET/CT and biodistribution demonstrated high EL4 tumor uptake that was suppressed by cold antibodies. In EL4 cells, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) increased 89Zr-PD-1 IgG binding (305.5 ± 30.6%) and dose-dependent augmentation of PD-1 expression (15.8 ± 3.8 − fold of controls by 200 ng/ml). FACS showed strong PD-1 expression on all EL4 cells and positive but weaker expression on 41.6 ± 2.1% of the mouse spleen lymphocytes. PMA stimulation led to 2.7 ± 0.3-fold increase in the proportion of the strongest PD-1 expressing EL4 cells but failed to influence that of PD-1+ mouse lymphocytes. In mice, PMA treatment increased 89Zr-PD-1 IgG uptake in EL4 lymphomas from 6.6 ± 1.6 to 13.9 ± 3.6%ID/g (P = 0.01), and tumor uptake closely correlated with PD-1 level (r = 0.771, P < 0.001). On immunohistochemistry of tumor sections, infiltrating CD8α+ T lymphocytes constituted a small fraction of tumor cells. The entire tumor section showed strong PD-1 staining that was even stronger for PMA-treated mice. Investigation of involved signaling revealed that PMA increased EL4 cell and tumor HIF-1α accumulation and NFκB and JNK activation. Conclusion. 89Zr-PD-1 IgG offered high-contrast PET imaging of tumor PD-1 in mice. This was found to mostly represent binding to EL4 tumor cells, although infiltrating T lymphocytes may also have contributed. PD-1 expression on T-cell lymphomas was upregulated by PMA stimulation, and this was reliably monitored by 89Zr-PD-1 IgG PET. This technique may thus be useful for understanding the mechanisms of PD-1 regulation in lymphomas of living subjects.

Location and extent of necrosis are valuable information in the management of myocardial infarction (MI). Methods. We investigated 2-deoxy-2-18F-fluoro glucaric acid (FGA), a novel infarct-avid agent, for positron emission tomography (PET) of MI. We synthesized FGA from commercially available 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-2-D-glucose (FDG). MI was induced in mice by permanently occluding the left anterior descending coronary artery. Biodistribution of FGA was assessed 1 h after FGA injection (11 MBq). PET/CT was conducted 1 h, 6 h, 1 d, 3 d, and 4 d after MI. Subcellular compartment of FGA accumulation in necrosis was studied by tracing the uptake of biotin-labeled glucaric acid with streptavidin-HRP in H2O2-treated H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. Streptavidin-reactive protein bands were identified by LC-MS/MS. Results. We obtained a quantitative yield of FGA from FDG within 7 min (radiochemical purity > 99%). Cardiac uptake of FGA was significantly higher in MI mice than that in control mice. Imaging after 1 h of FGA injection delineated MI for 3 days after MI induction, with negligible background signal from surrounding tissues. Myocardial injury was verified by tetrazolium staining and plasma troponin (47.63 pg/mL control versus 311.77 pg/mL MI). In necrotic H9c2 myoblasts, biotinylated glucaric acid accumulated in nuclear fraction. LC-MS/MS primarily identified fibronectin in necrotic cells as a putative high fidelity target of glucaric acid. Conclusion. FGA/PET detects infarct early after onset of MI and FGA accumulation in infarct persists for 3 days. Its retention in necrotic cells appears to be a result of interaction with fibronectin that is known to accumulate in injured cardiac tissue.
