Abstract

Noninvasive assessment of chemotherapeutic response in colon cancer would tremendously aid in therapeutic intervention of cancer patients and improve outcomes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of a noninvasive assessment of chemotherapeutic response by magnetic resonance imaging utilizing underglycosylated mucin 1 (uMUC1) tumor antigen as a biomarker of therapeutic response in a colon cancer mouse model. The study was performed by applying molecular imaging approach based on targeting uMUC1 with specific dual-modality imaging probe (MN-EPPT). The probe consisted of dextran-coated iron oxide nanoparticles conjugated to the near infrared fluorescent dye Cy5.5 and to a uMUC1-specific peptide (EPPT) and was used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorescence optical imaging. An orthotopic murine model of colon cancer expressing human uMUC1 peptide (MC38 MUC1) was created along with the control model devoid of the antigen (MC38 neo). Animals received chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) followed by MN-EPPT-enhanced MR and optical imaging. In vivo imaging of animals with uMUC1 expressing tumors after 5-FU therapy showed that the average deltaT2 was reduced by 7.27 ms (p = 0.045) compared with animals in ...Continue Reading
