Abstract

Positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET/CT) is an established method in preclinical research in small animal disease models and the clinical diagnosis of cancer. It combines functional information of the positron-emitting biomarker with the anatomical data obtained from the CT image. Thus, it allows for 4D in vivo investigation of biological processes. Recently, PET/CT was used to monitor bone growth of chicken embryos using 18F-fluoride as a bone-seeking tracer. We are interested in investigating the adequacy of additional PET/CT tracers in chicken embryos as an in vivo model system. For this reason, we evaluated several positron emitting compounds typically used in clinical tests or if these were not commercially available, we synthesised them. We studied the properties of these 18F- and 68Ga-labelled tracers and of 64Cu-chloride in catheterised eggs via small animal microPET/CT. 2-Deoxy-2-[18F]fluoroglucose ([18F]FDG) was primarily absorbed at the sites of bone growth. 64Cu chloride and a 68Ga-labelled amyloid-fibril-binding antibody accumulated in the liver, while the 68Ga-albumin desferrioxamine conjugate signal in liver decreased over time. These results indicate that these biomarkers can potentially be used for the monitoring of biological processes in chicken eggs as an animal model.

Resumen

La tomografía por emisión de positrones/tomografía computarizada (PET/TC) es una técnica establecida en la investigación preclínica de enfermedades en modelos de animales pequeños y en el diagnóstico clínico de cáncer. Esta técnica combina la información funcional del biomarcador emisor de positrones con los datos anatómicos de la imagen TC, permitiendo de este modo la investigación in vivo de los procesos biológicos en 4 dimensiones. Recientemente, el crecimiento de los huesos de los embriones de pollo se ha podido monitorizar usando PET/TC con 18F fluoruro como trazador óseo. Estamos interesados en la investigación de otros trazadores PET/TC en embriones de pollo como sistema de modelo in vivo. Para ello, evaluamos varios radiotrazadores usados habitualmente en pruebas clínicas o sintetizamos aquellos que no estaban disponibles comercialmente. Utilizando un microPET/TC de animales pequeños, evaluamos las características de 18F, 68Ga y 64Cu cloruro en huevos con sondaje. La 2-Deoxy-2[18F]fluorodeoxiglucosa (18F FDG) estaba absorbida en los sitios de crecimiento de los huesos. El 64Cu cloruro y un anticuerpo de unión a fibrillas de amiloide marcado con 68Ga se acumularon en el hígado, mientras que el 68Ga ligado a un conjugado de desferroxamina disminuyó con el tiempo en ese mismo órgano. Los resultados indican que estos biomarcadores pueden ser utilizados para la monitorización de procesos biológicos en huevos de pollo como modelo animal.
