Abstract:The overexpression of gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) in cancer can be used for peptide-receptor mediated radionuclide imaging and therapy. We have previously shown that an antagonist analog of bombesin RM26 conjugated to 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-N,N',N''-triacetic acid (NOTA) via a diethyleneglycol (PEG 2 ) spacer (NOTA-PEG 2 -RM26) and labeled with 68 Ga can be used for imaging of GRPR-expressing tumors. In this study, we evaluated if a variation of mini-PEG spacer length can be used for optimization of targeting properties of the NOTA-conjugated RM26. A series of analogs with different PEG-length (n = 2, 3, 4, 6) was synthesized, radiolabeled and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The IC 50 values of nat Ga-NOTA-PEG n -RM26 (n = 2, 3, 4, 6) were 3.1 ± 0.2, 3.9 ± 0.3, 5.4 ± 0.4 and 5.8 ± 0.3 nM, respectively. In normal mice all conjugates demonstrated similar biodistribution pattern, however 68 Ga-NOTA-PEG 3 -RM26 showed lower liver uptake. Biodistribution of 68 Ga-NOTA-PEG 3 -RM26 was evaluated in OPEN ACCESSMolecules 2014, 19 10456 nude mice bearing PC-3 (prostate cancer) and BT-474 (breast cancer) xenografts. High uptake in tumors (4.6 ± 0.6%ID/g and 2.8 ± 0.4%ID/g for PC-3 and BT-474 xenografts, respectively) and high tumor-to-background ratios (tumor/blood of 44 ± 12 and 42 ± 5 for PC-3 and BT-474 xenografts, respectively) were found already at 2 h p.i. of 68 Ga-NOTA-PEG 3 -RM26. Results of this study suggest that variation in the length of the PEG spacer can be used for optimization of targeting properties of peptide-chelator conjugates. However, the influence of the mini-PEG length on biodistribution is minor when di-, tri-, tetra-and hexaethylene glycol are compared.

“…The kinetics of binding of 111 In-NOTA-PEG n -RM26 to the PC-3 cells was measured in real-time at RT using LigandTracer instruments (Ridgeview Instruments AB, Uppsala, Sweden), as described previously [42]. In addition, binding of the most promising candidate, 111 In-NOTA-PEG 3 -RM26, was measured using BT-474 cells.…”

Bombesin (BN) analogs bind with high affinity to gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRPRs) that are up-regulated in prostate cancer and can be used for the visualization of prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of radionuclide-chelator complexes on the biodistribution pattern of the 111In-labeled bombesin antagonist PEG2-D-Phe-Gln-Trp-Ala-Val-Gly-His-Sta-Leu-NH2 (PEG2-RM26) and to identify an optimal construct for SPECT imaging. A series of RM26 analogs N-terminally conjugated with NOTA, NODAGA, DOTA and DOTAGA via a PEG2 spacer were radiolabeled with 111In and evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. The conjugates were successfully labeled with 111In with 100% purity and retained binding specificity to GRPR and high stability. The cellular processing of all compounds was characterized by slow internalization. The IC50 values were in the low nanomolar range, with lower IC50 values for positively charged natIn-NOTA-PEG2-RM26 (2.6 ± 0.1 nM) and higher values for negatively charged natIn-DOTAGA-PEG2-RM26 (4.8 ± 0.5 nM). The kinetic binding studies showed KD values in the picomolar range that followed the same pattern as the IC50 data. The biodistribution of all compounds was studied in BALB/c nu/nu mice bearing PC-3 prostate cancer xenografts. Tumor targeting and biodistribution studies displayed rapid clearance of radioactivity from the blood and normal organs via kidney excretion. All conjugates showed similar uptake in tumors at 4 h p.i. The radioactivity accumulation in GRPR-expressing organs was significantly lower for DOTA- and DOTAGA-containing constructs compared to those containing NOTA and NODAGA. 111In-NOTA-PEG2-RM26 with a positively charged complex showed the highest initial uptake and the slowest clearance of radioactivity from the liver. At 4 h p.i., DOTA- and DOTAGA-coupled analogs showed significantly higher tumor-to-organ ratios compared to NOTA- and NODAGA-containing variants. The NODAGA conjugate demonstrated the best retention of radioactivity in tumors, and, at 24 h p.i., had the highest contrast to blood, muscle and bones.

“…The fluorescence intensity in the elevated area -i.e. the area without liquid-was repeatedly measured [61][62][63] . First, the base line recording was obtained in the four-spots setting, where each spot was read during 15 s. After 20 min, the instrument was paused and the various peptides (TM24 or SCR24) or anti-CX3CL1 antibody were added at the appropriate concentration.…”

CX3CL1 homo-oligomerization drives cell-to-cell adherence

During inflammatory response, blood leukocytes adhere to the endothelium. This process involves numerous adhesion molecules, including a transmembrane chemokine, CX3CL1, which behaves as a molecular cluster. How this cluster assembles and whether this association has a functional role remain unknown. The analysis of CX3CL1 clusters using native electrophoresis and single molecule fluorescence kinetics shows that CX3CL1 is a homo-oligomer of 3 to 7 monomers. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching assays reveal that the CX3CL1-transmembrane domain peptide self-associates in both cellular and acellular lipid environments, while its random counterpart (i.e. peptide with the same residues in a different order) does not. This strongly indicates that CX3CL1 oligomerization is driven by its intrinsic properties. According to the molecular modeling, CX3CL1 does not associate in compact bundles but rather with monomers linearly assembled side by side. Finally, the CX3CL1 transmembrane peptide inhibits both the CX3CL1 oligomerization and the adhesive function, while its random counterpart does not. This demonstrates that CX3CL1 oligomerization is mandatory for its adhesive potency. Our results provide a new direction to control CX3CL1-dependent cellular adherence in key immune processes. The migration of blood leukocytes to damaged tissues is the first step of the inflammation process and involves a sequence of coordinated interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells 1-3. The chemotactic cytokines called chemokines that primarily attract leukocytes, are central to the physiological and pathological inflammatory processes 4-6. Chemokines trigger leukocyte activation and their firm adhesion to the inflamed endothelium, mainly through integrins 7-9. Two members of the chemokine family are exceptions: CXCL16 and CX3CL1. In addition to their chemokine domain (CD), these two chemokines possess three domains: a mucin-like stalk, a transmembrane (TM) domain, and a cytosolic tail 10,11. When interacting with their cognate receptors (CXCR6 and CX3CR1, respectively), these chemokines induce cell-cell adhesion 12. CXCL16 and CX3CL1 can also be cleaved by metalloproteinases, such as ADAM10 and ADAM17 13-15 , to produce a soluble form with chemotactic functions. The CX3CL1 chemokine, with its unique CX3CR1 receptor 16 , is involved in adherence to the endothelium of the inflammatory monocyte population (CD14 hi CD16-CX3CR1 + CCR2 + in humans, Ly6C hi CX3CR1 + CCR2 + in mice) 12,17-20 likely through interaction with platelets 21,22. This chemokine is also involved in the recruitment of NK lymphocytes 23,24 and in lymphocyte survival as in allergic diseases 25 , as well as in monocytic 26,27 and neuronal survival 28-31. An additional function of the CX3CR1-CX3CL1 pair is the regulation of the patrolling behavior and the margination of monocytes in blood vessels 32,33 or their adherence to the bone marrow 34. The CX3CL1 chemokine is also involved in cytoadhesion of red blood cells infected with the malaria parasite Plasmodium
