- Titel:
- Longitudinal [18F]GE-180 PET Imaging Facilitates In Vivo Monitoring of TSPO Expression in the GL261 Glioblastoma Mouse Model.
- Abstract:
- The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) is increasingly recognized as an interesting target for the imaging of glioblastoma (GBM). Here, we investigated TSPO PET imaging and autoradiography in the frequently used GL261 glioblastoma mouse model and aimed to generate insights into the temporal evolution of TSPO radioligand uptake in glioblastoma in a preclinical setting. We performed a longitudinal [18F]GE-180 PET imaging study from day 4 to 14 post inoculation in the orthotopic syngeneic GL261 GBM mouse model (n = 21 GBM mice, n = 3 sham mice). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was performed at the day of the final PET scan (±1 day). [18F]GE-180 autoradiography was performed on day 7, 11 and 14 (ex vivo: n = 13 GBM mice, n = 1 sham mouse; in vitro: n = 21 GBM mice; n = 2 sham mice). Brain sections were also used for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and TSPO immunohistochemistry. [18F]GE-180 uptake in PET was elevated at the site of inoculation in GBM mice as compared to sham mice at day 11 and later (at day 14, TBRmax +27% compared to sham mice, p = 0.001). In GBM mice, [18F]GE-180 uptake continuously increased over time, e.g., at day 11, mean TBRmax +16% compared to day 4, p = 0.011. [18F]GE-180 uptake as depicted by PET was in all mice co-localized with contrast-enhancement in CT and tissue-based findings. [18F]GE-180 ex vivo and in vitro autoradiography showed highly congruent tracer distribution (r = 0.99, n = 13, p < 0.001). In conclusion, [18F]GE-180 PET imaging facilitates non-invasive in vivo monitoring of TSPO expression in the GL261 GBM mouse model. [18F]GE-180 in vitro autoradiography is a convenient surrogate for ex vivo autoradiography, allowing for straightforward identification of suitable models and scan time-points on previously generated tissue sections.
