Novel technetium-99m-labeled bivalent PSMA-targeting probe based on hydroxamamide chelate for diagnosis of prostate cancer
Objective
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a well-known biomarker of prostate cancer. Previously, our group reported that the succinimidyl–cystatin–urea–glutamate (SCUE) moiety has a high affinity for PSMA. In this study, we developed the novel technetium-99m-labeled PSMA-targeting probe “[99mTc]Tc-(Ham-SCUE)2” based on a hydroxamamide chelate with a bivalent SCUE and evaluated its potential as a SPECT imaging probe for the diagnosis of PSMA-expressing prostate cancer.
Methods
Ham-SCUE was synthesized by a one-step reaction with Ham-Mal and cysteine-urea-glutamine. Then, Ham-SCUE was reacted with [99mTc]NaTcO4 for 10 min at room temperature to obtain [99mTc]Tc-(Ham-SCUE)2. [99mTc]Tc-(Ham-SCUE)2 was added to LNCaP (high PSMA expression) cells or PC3 (low PSMA expression) cells, and their radioactivity was measured 60 min after administration. The blocking study was performed by co-incubation of LNCaP cells with various concentrations of 2-PMPA (a PSMA inhibitor) for 15 min before adding [99mTc]Tc-(Ham-SCUE)2. The biodistribution of [99mTc]Tc-(Ham-SCUE)2 in LNCaP/PC3 dual xenografted C.B.-17/Icr scid/scid Jcl mice was evaluated for 120 min after intravenous injection. The blocking study was performed by pretreatment of mice with 2-PMPA (10 mg/kg weight).
Results
[99mTc]Tc-(Ham-SCUE)2 was acquired at radiochemical yields of 56% with a radiochemical purity of over 95%. The cellular uptake level of [99mTc]Tc-(Ham-SCUE)2 by LNCaP cells was significantly higher than that by PC3 cells (LNCaP: 11.12 ± 0.71 vs. PC3: 1.40 ± 0.13%uptake/mg protein, p < 0.01), and the uptake was significantly suppressed by pretreatment with 2-PMPA (2.56 ± 0.37%uptake/mg protein, p < 0.05). IC50 of 2-PMPA was 245 ± 47 nM. In the in vivo study, the radioactivity of LNCaP tumor tissue was significantly higher than that of PC3 tumor tissue at 120 min after the administration of [99mTc]Tc-(Ham-SCUE)2 (LNCaP: 9.97 ± 2.79, PC3: 1.16 ± 0.23%ID/g, p < 0.01), and was suppressed by pretreatment with 2-PMPA (2.50 ± 0.45%ID/g, p < 0.01).
Conclusion
[99mTc]Tc-(Ham-SCUE)2 has the potential to be a SPECT imaging agent for diagnosing high PSMA-expressing prostate cancer.
