Abstract

Alphavbeta3 and alphavbeta5 integrins are cell adhesion molecules that play a vital role in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. The ability to visualize and quantify integrin expression in vivo will foster our understanding of the role of integrins alphavbeta3 and alphavbeta5 in tumor angiogenesis and allow for direct assessment of anti-angiogenic treatment efficacy based on integrin antagonists. This study compared the tumor targeting characteristics of two dimeric 64Cu-labeled RGD peptide agonists of alphavbeta3 integrin. Dimeric RGD peptides E[c(RGDyK)]2 and E[c(RGDfK)]2 were conjugated with 1,4,7,10-tetraazadodecane-N,N',N",N"'-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) and labeled with positron emitter 64Cu(t(1/2)=12.8 h, beta+=19%). Both 64Cu-DOTA-E[c(RGDyK)]2 and 64Cu-DOTA-E[c(RGDfK)]2 were used in biodistribution, microPET imaging and whole-body autoradiography studies in athymic female nude mice with orthotopically growing MDA-MB-435 breast carcinoma xenografts. At all time points, activity accumulation of 64)Cu-DOTA-E[c(RGDyK)]2 in tumors was significantly higher compared to the D-Phe analog. Liver uptake of the D-Tyr derivative was lower than the D-Phe derivative at early time points but the difference became marginal with time. Overall...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
