18F-FPRGD2 PET/CT imaging of musculoskeletal disorders

Abstract: The ¹⁸F-FPRGD₂ uptake in joints, spine degenerative diseases and tendons was highly prevalent in our population. Up to one-third of ¹⁸F-FPRGD₂ foci showed no FDG uptake suggesting that ¹⁸F-FPRGD₂ signal may not be related to inflammatory angiogenesis only.

“…A similar apoptosis, related to signal loss with the matrix, has been described in other systems, such as in epithelial cells, and was called anoikis [117]. Our laboratory found that integrin α V , β 3 , and β 5 were upregulated during OA chondrocyte dedifferentiation [118]. The α V β 3 complex was also upregulated at the surface of dedifferentiated OA chondrocytes, compared to freshly-isolated OA chondrocytes [118].…”

The α V β 3 complex was also upregulated at the surface of dedifferentiated OA chondrocytes, compared to freshly-isolated OA chondrocytes [118]. Differential integrin expression status might be crucial in sensitizing chondrocytes to cell death induced by the ECM component.…”

“…The selection of a RGD‐based tracer was guided by previous medical studies conducted in our Institution and by the experience acquired in Fluorine‐18 derivatives . The routine [ 18 F]FPRGD 2 production is time‐consuming and tedious; it involves a multistep radiochemical sequence, among which 1 step releases volatile radioactive compounds.…”

“…In addition, [ 18 F]FPRGD 2 uptake was also observed in glenohumeral, left hip, and right ankle joints ((a) blue arrows) as well as in the left total knee arthroplasty ((a) orange arrow). The observation of [ 18 F]FPRGD 2 uptake in musculoskeletal disorders has already been published [ 6 ].…”
