    English, Scientific journal, PURPOSE: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) comprises simple steatosis (SS), which has a low risk of mortality, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which can progress to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Because differentiation between MASH and SS is the most important issue in the diagnosis of MASLD, the establishment of noninvasive diagnostic methods is urgently needed. In this study, we evaluated the potential of [123I]IIMU, a thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) targeted SPECT imaging probe, for differential diagnosis of MASLD in a preclinical animal model. PROCEDURES: SS and MASH mice were prepared by feeding db/db mice with a standard diet and a methionine/choline-deficient diet, respectively. Control mice were prepared by feeding m/m mice with a standard diet. TYMP expression in the liver was evaluated by RT-PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. The biodistribution of [125I]IIMU in the three model mice was evaluated at 30 min post-injection. SPECT/CT imaging studies of the three model mice were performed 30 min after injection of [123I]IIMU. RESULTS: Hepatic TYMP expression level was the highest in the SS mice and the lowest in the MASH mice at both mRNA and protein levels. The immunohistochemistry experiment showed a patchy distribution of TYMP only in the liver of MASH mice. In the biodistribution study, the hepatic accumulation of [125I]IIMU was the highest in the SS mice and the lowest in the MASH mice. The SPECT/CT imaging study showed similar results to the biodistribution experiment. CONCLUSION: Hepatic TYMP expression level may serve as a promising imaging biomarker for differential diagnosis of SS and MASH. SPECT imaging using [123I]IIMU potentially provides a novel noninvasive diagnostic method to differentiate MASH and SS.

    English, Scientific journal, Understanding the tumor redox status is important for efficient cancer treatment. Here, we noninvasively detected changes in the redox environment of tumors before and after cancer treatment in the same individuals using a novel compact and portable electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) device and compared the results with glycolytic information obtained through autoradiography using 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose ([18F]FDG). Human colon cancer HCT116 xenografts were used in the mice. We used 3-carbamoyl-PROXYL (3CP) as a paramagnetic and redox status probe for the EPRI of tumors. The first EPRI was followed by the intraperitoneal administration of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, or X-ray irradiation of the tumor. A second EPRI was performed on the following day. Autoradiography was performed after the second EPRI. After imaging, the tumor sections were evaluated by histological analysis and the amount of reducing substances in the tumor was measured. BSO treatment and X-ray irradiation significantly decreased the rate of 3CP reduction in tumors. Redox maps of tumors obtained from EPRI can be compared with tissue sections of approximately the same cross section. BSO treatment reduced glutathione levels in tumors, whereas X-ray irradiation did not alter the levels of any of the reducing substances. Comparison of the redox map with the autoradiography of [18F]FDG revealed that regions with high reducing power in the tumor were active in glucose metabolism; however, this correlation disappeared after X-ray irradiation. These results suggest that the novel compact and portable EPRI device is suitable for multimodal imaging, which can be used to study tumor redox status and therapeutic efficacy in cancer, and for combined analysis with other imaging modalities.

    English, Scientific journal, Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to devastating sequelae, demanding effective treatments. Recent advancements have unveiled the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) produced by infiltrated neutrophils in exacerbating secondary inflammation after SCI, making it a potential target for treatment intervention. Previous research has established that intravenous administration of stem cell-derived exosomes can mitigate injuries. While stem cell-derived exosomes have demonstrated the ability to modulate microglial reactions and enhance blood-brain barrier integrity, their impact on neutrophil deactivation, especially in the context of NETs, remains poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of intravenous administration of MSC-derived exosomes, with a specific focus on NET formation, and to elucidate the associated molecular mechanisms. Exosomes were isolated from the cell supernatants of amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells using the ultracentrifugation method. Spinal cord injuries were induced in Sprague-Dawley rats (9 weeks old) using a clip injury model, and 100 μg of exosomes in 1 mL of PBS or PBS alone were intravenously administered 24 h post-injury. Motor function was assessed serially for up to 28 days following the injury. On Day 3 and Day 28, spinal cord specimens were analyzed to evaluate the extent of injury and the formation of NETs. Flow cytometry was employed to examine the formation of circulating neutrophil NETs. Exogenous miRNA was electroporated into neutrophil to evaluate the effect of inflammatory NET formation. Finally, the biodistribution of exosomes was assessed using 64Cu-labeled exosomes in animal positron emission tomography (PET). Rats treated with exosomes exhibited a substantial improvement in motor function recovery and a reduction in injury size. Notably, there was a significant decrease in neutrophil infiltration and NET formation within the spinal cord, as well as a reduction in neutrophils forming NETs in the circulation. In vitro investigations indicated that exosomes accumulated in the vicinity of the nuclei of activated neutrophils, and neutrophils electroporated with the miR-125a-3p mimic exhibited a significantly diminished NET formation, while miR-125a-3p inhibitor reversed the effect. PET studies revealed that, although the majority of the transplanted exosomes were sequestered in the liver and spleen, a notably high quantity of exosomes was detected in the damaged spinal cord when compared to normal rats. MSC-derived exosomes play a pivotal role in alleviating spinal cord injury, in part through the deactivation of NET formation via miR-125a-3p.

    Scientific journal, Background. Due to the lack of effective therapies, stem cell transplantation is an anticipated treatment for chronic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and higher cell survival and engraftment are considered to be the key for recovery. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) compounded with recombinant human collagen type I scaffolds (CellSaics) have a higher potential for cell survival and engraftment compared with solo-MSCs, and we investigated the validity of intracerebral transplantation of CellSaic in a chronic ICH model. Methods. Rat CellSaics (rCellSaics) were produced by rat bone marrow-derived MSC (rBMSCs). The secretion potential of neurotrophic factors and the cell proliferation rate were compared under oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) conditions. rCellSaics, rBMSCs, or saline were transplanted into the hollow cavity of a rat chronic ICH model. Functional and histological analyses were evaluated, and single-photon emission computed tomography for benzodiazepine receptors was performed to monitor sequential changes in neuronal integrity. Furthermore, human CellSaics (hCellSaics) were transplanted into a chronic ICH model in immunodeficient rats. Antibodies neutralizing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were used to elucidate its mode of action. Results. rCellSaics demonstrated a higher secretion potential of trophic factors and showed better cell proliferation in the OGD condition. Animals receiving rCellSaics displayed better neurological recovery, higher intracerebral BDNF, and better cell engraftment; they also showed a tendency for less brain atrophy and higher benzodiazepine receptor preservation. hCellSaics also promoted significant functional recovery, which was reversed by BDNF neutralization. Conclusion. Intracerebral transplantation of CellSaics enabled neurological recovery in a chronic ICH model and may be a good option for clinical application.

  • Renal Handling of 99mTc-Labeled Antibody Fab Fragments with a Linkage Cleavable by Enzymes on Brush Border Membrane.

    English, Scientific journal, The high and persistent renal radioactivity levels after injection of radiolabeled low-molecular-weight polypeptides constitute a significant problem for their diagnostic and therapeutic applications, especially when they are labeled with metallic radionuclides. To improve the renal radioactivity levels of technetium-99m (99mTc)-labeled Fab fragments, a mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3)-based new bifunctional chelating agent with a cleavable glycyl-phenylalanyl-lysine (GFK) linkage, MAG3-GFK-suc-TFP, was designed, synthesized, and evaluated. 99mTc-labeled Fab was obtained by reacting MAG3-GFK-Fab conjugate with 99mTc-glucarate. The GFK linkage remained stable in plasma but was cleaved by enzymes on the renal brush border membrane. The comparative biodistribution studies with indium-111 (111In)-labeled Fab using SCN-CHX-A″-DTPA showed that while both radiolabeled Fabs exhibited similar elimination rates from the blood, [99mTc]Tc-MAG3-GFK-Fab registered much lower renal radioactivity levels from 30 min post-injection onward due to the release and subsequent urinary excretion of [99mTc]Tc-MAG3-Gly. However, [99mTc]Tc-MAG3-GFK-Fab showed an increase in the intestinal radioactivity levels with the time that was not observed with 111In-labeled Fab. The analysis of the intestinal contents suggested the redistribution of [99mTc]Tc-MAG3-Gly to the intestine. The retrospective comparison of [99mTc]Tc-MAG3-GFK-Fab with the radiolabeled Fabs so far prepared under the identical concept suggested that some portion of [99mTc]Tc-MAG3-Gly was generated after the coated vesicle formation and they were excreted into the blood, and subsequently redistributed in the intestine via hepatobiliary excretion. In conclusion, MAG3-GFK-suc-TFP provided 99mTc-labeled Fabs that exhibit low renal radioactivity shortly after injection by the post-labeling procedure. The present study indicated that, contrary to our earlier proposal, the generation of the radiometabolites would proceed not only during the internalization process of the parental antibody fragments but also after coated vesicle formation. This study also showed that the intracellular behaviors of radiometabolites played crucial roles in the elimination rates and the routes of the radioactivity from the kidney.

  • Manipulating Pharmacokinetics of Purification-Free 99mTc-Labeled Bivalent Probes for In Vivo Imaging of Saturable Targets

    English, Scientific journal, The accumulation of 99mTc-labeled probes targeting saturable systems of the body is hindered by the presence of a large excess of unlabeled ligands needed to ensure high radiochemical yields in a short reaction time. To address the issue, we recently reported a novel concept of a metal-coordination-mediated synthesis of a bivalent 99mTc-labeled probe from a monovalent ligand using d-penicillamine (Pen) as a chelating molecule and c(RGDfK) as a model targeting device. The Pen-conjugated c(RGDfK) via a hexanoate linkage (Pen-Hx-c(RGDfK)) provided a bivalent [99mTc]Tc-[ (Pen-Hx-c(RGDfK))2 that possessed much higher integrin αvβ3 binding affinity than Pen-Hx-c(RGDfK) and visualized a murine tumor without purification. However, high radioactivity levels were observed in the abdominal regions, which necessitated improved pharmacokinetics of the probes for practical applications. In this study, a pharmacokinetic (PK) modifier was introduced to manipulate the pharmacokinetics of the 99mTc-Pen2-based bivalent probe. The Hx linkage in Pen-Hx-c(RGDfK) was replaced with acetyl-d-serine-d-serine-glycine (Ac-ssG) or hexanoyl-d-serine-d-serine-d-serine (Hx-sss) to prepare Pen-Ac-ssG-c(RGDfK) or Pen-Hx-sss-c(RGDfK). Pen-Ac-ssG-c(RGDfK) impaired the complexation ability of Pen-Hx-c(RGDfK), and a monovalent 99mTc-labeled compound was generated at low ligand concentration. However, Pen-Hx-sss-c(RGDfK) provided the objective bivalent 99mTc-labeled probe in high radiochemical yields at a concentration similar to that of Pen-Hx-c(RGDfK). [99mTc]Tc-[Pen-Hx-sss-c(RGDfK)]2 also possessed stability and integrin αvβ3 binding affinity similar to those of [99mTc]Tc-[Pen-Hx-c(RGDfK)]2. As a result, [99mTc]Tc-[Pen-Hx-sss-c(RGDfK)]2 exhibited tumor and abdominal radioactivity levels similar to and significantly lower than those of [99mTc]Tc-[Pen-Hx-c(RGDfK)]2. These findings indicate the incorporation of a tripeptide PK modifier to Pen-Hx-c(RGDfK) preserved the complexation ability and improved the pharmacokinetics of the resulting 99mTc-labeled bivalent probe without impairing the targeting ability. Thus, the [Pen-Hx-(PK modifier)-(targeting device)] would constitute a basic formulation for preparing the 99mTc-Pen2-based bivalent probes for imaging saturable targets of the body.

    English, Scientific journal, Metallic radionuclides provide target-specific radiolabeled probes for molecular imaging in radiochemical yields sufficient for administration to subjects without purification. However, unlabeled ligands in the injectate can compete for targeted molecules with radiolabeled probes, which eventually necessitates postlabeling purification. Herein we describe a "1 to 3" design to circumvent the issue by taking advantage of inherent coordination properties of technetium-99m ((99m)Tc). A monovalent RGD ligand possessing an isonitrile as a coordinating moiety (CN-RGD) was reacted with [ (99m)Tc(CO)3(OH2)3](+) to prepare [ (99m)Tc(CO)3(CN-RGD)3](+) in over 95% radiochemical yields. This complex exhibited higher integrin αvβ3 binding affinity than its unlabeled monovalent ligand, primarily due to its multivalency. This compound visualized a murine tumor without removing unlabeled ligands, while a (99m)Tc-labeled monovalent probe derived from a monovalent ligand could not. The metal coordination-mediated synthesis of radiolabeled multivalent probes thereby can be a useful approach for preparing ready-to-use target-specific probes labeled with (99m)Tc and other metallic radionuclides of interest.

    近年、フェロトーシスと呼ばれる新しい細胞死様式が報告され、フェロトーシスを誘導する薬剤が新たながん治療薬として注目されている。このフェロトーシスの進行には、トランスフェリン受容体1 (TfR1) が深く関与することが知られている。本研究の目的は、TfR1の特異的イメージングを可能とする新たなPETイメージング剤を合成し、PETによるTfR1イメージングがフェロトーシス誘導剤の治療効果予測/判定やフェロトーシス誘導剤の開発に有効な手段となるか否かを明らかにすることにある。
    本目的達成のため、これまでに主に新たなPETイメージング剤の合成検討、及びIn vitro細胞実験を行った。その結果、TfR1への親和性を有する7残基直鎖ペプチド (DT7) を母体とした68Ga標識プローブ(68Ga-DT7)が、T98G (TfR1高発現細胞株) に対してTfR1特異的に集積することを見出した。一方で、その集積量はやや低かったことから、分子内に2つのDT7ペプチドを有する2価DT7を新たに設計し、合成に成功した。しかし、68Gaで標識した2価DT7のT98Gへの集積量は予想に反して低かった。さらに、直鎖上のDT7ペプチドを環状化した環化ペプチドを合成し、T98Gへの集積量を評価したが、TfR1特異的集積量の向上には繋がらなかった。
    上記検討結果から、TfR1への親和性がより高いリガンドを母体としたプローブを開発する必要性が示唆された。そこで、cystine dense peptideの1種でありTfR1との高い結合親和性を有するTfRB1G3を母体としたプローブの開発を開始した。

    動脈硬化病変の評価においては、早期治療を必要とする“破綻しやすいプラーク(不安定プラーク)”を的確に診断することが重要である。最近、鉄依存性酸化ストレスに起因するフェロトーシスと呼ばれる細胞死の様式が、動脈硬化の病態にも深く関与していることが報告された。本研究の目的は、フェロトーシス関連分子のPETイメージングにより、不安定プラークの診断が可能となるか検証することにある。
    フェロトーシスの進行には、トランスフェリン受容体1 (TfR1) が深く関与することが知られている。令和3年度は、TfR1への高い結合親和性を有する直鎖ペプチド (DT7) を母体とした68Ga標識プローブ(68Ga-DT7)を合成し、in vitro実験条件下でTfR1イメージング剤としての有用性を評価した。その結果、68Ga-DT7は、TfR1特異的に集積したが、細胞集積量は十分ではなかった。そこで、細胞集積量の向上を目指してペプチドの多量体化や環状化などを実施したが、68Ga-DT7の細胞集積量を上回る誘導体の創成には至らなかった。
    一方、不安定プラークにおけるフェロトーシスの関与をより多角的に評価するため、プラークにおける酸化ストレスを可視化できるプローブの合成と評価を開始した。合成した標識体は活性酸素種 (ROS)との反応によって錯体が崩壊し、酸化ストレスイメージング剤として機能する可能性が示された。
    以上の検討結果から、TfR1への結合親和性がより高いリガンドの68Ga標識体を作製する必要性が示唆された。今後、cystine dense peptideの1種であるTfRB1G3の68Ga標識体を合成し、TfR1イメージング剤としての評価を行う。また、フェロトーシス関連分子のイメージングによる不安定プラークの多角的評価に向けて、酸化ストレスイメージング剤の開発も継続する。

    私達は以前、5-フルオロウラシル系抗がん剤の治療効果予測を目的とし、チミジンホスホリラーゼ(TP)の核医学イメージング剤としてIIMUを開発した。しかし、IIMUは正常な肝臓に集積することが問題となる。そこで本研究では、①生物学的手法と②化学的手法により、がん選択的なTP核医学イメージング技術を開発することを目的とする。
    ①生物学的手法では、肝細胞とがん細胞におけるIIMUの取り込みと排出に関わるトランスポーターの解明とその制御により、IIMUのがん選択的集積性の向上を目指す。令和2年度はまず、MATE1とよばれるトランスポーターの関与について検討した。MATE1の発現の高い細胞と低い細胞を用いた検討から、IIMUの輸送過程にMATE1が関与する可能性があることが示された。
    ②化学的手法では、IIMUとは異なるトランスポーターに認識されるために肝臓に集まりにくく、がんにより選択的に集積するTPイメージング剤の開発を目指す。令和2年度は、昨年度は目的物を得るに至らなかった新規放射性標識化合物ITPTの合成に引き続き取り組み、その合成に成功した。In vitroでのTP高発現細胞とTP低発現細胞を用いた検討から、ITPTの腫瘍への集積はIIMUと比べて低いものの、腫瘍でのTP発現量に依存する可能性が示された。また、in vivoの検討から、ITPTの腫瘍への集積は低いものの、その集積量は速やかに低減することなく維持される可能性があること、また、ITPTは投与後早期に肝臓に高い集積を示すが、その量はIIMUと比べて低く、速やかに低減する可能性があることが示された。

    1. がん動物モデル作成のためのがん細胞株の選定
    前年度の研究より、CDK2への強い結合活性が認められたI-KAN化合物につき、代表的な他のCDKファミリーメンバーであるCDK1、4、5、6、7への結合特異性の解析を行ったところ、CDK2への結合活性が一番強力なものの、CDK1とCDK6に対してもその0.4~0.6倍の結合能を有することが判明している。よってI-KAN化合物は、標的としていたCDK2以外にCDK1、CDK6にも結合し、担がん動物モデルを用いた画像診断に影響を与える可能性がある。そこで、ウェスタンブロット法を用いて、種々のがん細胞株でのCDKファミリータンパク質の発現量を比較解析した。
    担がんマウス作製に用いられる代表的なヒトがん細胞株5種の全細胞抽出液を調製し調べたところ、CDK2タンパク質の発現量は細胞間で2.4倍の差が存在し、CDK1では4.8倍、CDK6では4.5倍もの発現量の差が個々の細胞種間で認められた。CDK2発現量の高いものを第一の条件として選択し、125ヨウ素標識したI-KAN化合物を用いた細胞取り込み実験にて、CDK2やその他のCDKファミリーメンバーの発現量と細胞取り込み活性との相関を解析した。その結果、125I-KAN化合物の細胞取り込み活性が高く、かつ非標識CDK2阻害剤による細胞取り込み阻害効果が高くCDK2への特異的な取り込みが認められるヒト胃がん細胞株MKN45が、担がんモデル動物の作成に適していると考察された。ヒトがん細胞株の選定は、現在も引き続き検討を進めている。

    In this study, we synthesized several radiolabeled multivalent RGD peptides targeting integrin αvβ3 and evaluated how the difference in their molecular structures affects their interactions with integrin αvβ3. As a result, we found that the difference in their scaffold structures connecting each RGD peptide substantially affected their dissociation kinetics from integrin αvβ3 positive cells. Furthermore, our results also suggested that multivalent RGD peptides whose scaffold structure is an octahedral metal complex could simultaneously bind with more than one integrin αvβ3 receptors.

    In this study, we have developed α-MSH peptide based molecular imaging agents which target MC1R, overexpressed on metastatic melanoma. At the beginning of this project, we had planned to synthesize 99mTc-labeled hexavalent α-MSH peptides from monovalent isonitrile ligands. However, because we could not obtain the objective 99mTc-labeled hexavalent α-MSH probes due to unexpected side reactions, we instead synthesized DOTA conjugated bivalent MSH analogues and evaluated them in vitro. We compared linear MSH peptides and cyclic MSH peptides as an α-MSH analogue, and the results showed that 111In-labeled bivalent cyclic MSH peptides possessed superior targeting capability to melanoma compared with the linear MSH counterparts. These results show the potential of 111In-labeled bivalent cyclic MSH peptides as a novel melanoma imaging agent.

    2016年度に実施した実験項目は、99mTc標識4価及び6価RGD体の作製とその評価である。99mTc標識4価体は、[99mTc(CO)3(OH2)3]+と1価イソニトリル配位子をpH8の水溶液中において加熱することで作製した。対応する非放射性Re錯体を用いてintegrin αvβ3に対する親和性 (IC50値) を算出したところ、4価RGD体と3価RGD体は同程度の結合親和性を有していることを認めた。また、腫瘍モデルマウスを用いたインビボ腫瘍集積においても、3価RGD体と4価RGD体は同程度の集積を示した。
    99mTc標識6価RGD体の作製は、SnCl2を還元剤として用い、99mTcO4-と1価イソニトリル配位子をpH5の水溶液中において加熱することで行った。また、6価RGD体のIC50値は3価及び4価RGD体と類似した値を示した一方で、過剰の非標識配位子混在下での投与における6価RGD体の腫瘍集積は、99mTc標識3価及び4価RGD体に比べ高い値を示した。更に、99mTc標識6価RGD作製時に必要とされた配位子濃度は100μMであり、3価及び4価RGD作製時に必要とされた配位子濃度に比べ低い濃度での作製が可能であることを明らかにした。
    今年度は、申請時に計画していた多価効果におけるスペーサ構造の影響検討や代謝性リンカー導入による腎集積低減までは実験が及ばなかった。一方これまでに得られた成果は、イソニトリルを母体とした99mTc標識多価化合物の設計に重要な知見を与えるものであると考えられ、今後、本薬剤設計をもとにリンカー構造の検討や腎集積低減に着手し、より高い腫瘍集積と低い腎集積を併せ持つ新たなプローブの開発に取り組むことを予定している。
