ABSTRACT
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) plays a crucial role in cancer cell growth and metastasis by stabilizing overexpressed signaling proteins. Inhibiting HSP90 has emerged as a promising anti-cancer strategy. In this study, we aimed to develop and characterize a HSP90-targeted molecular imaging probe, [64Cu]Cu-DOTA-BDA-GM, based on a specific HSP90 inhibitor, geldanamycin (GM), for PET imaging of cancers. GM is modified at the C-17 position with 1,4-butane-diamine (BDA) and linked to 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) for 64Cu radiolabeling. We evaluated the probe's specific binding to HSP90-expressing cells using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and breast cancer cells including MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435S, MCF7, and KR-BR-3 cell lines. A competition study with non-radioactive GM-BDA yielded an IC50 value of 1.35 ± 0.14 nM, underscoring the probe's affinity for HSP90. In xenograft models of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer, [64Cu]Cu-DOTA-BDA-GM showcased targeted tumor localization, with significant radioactivity observed up to 18 h post-injection. Blocking studies using unlabeled GM-BDA and treatment with the anticancer drug Vorinostat (SAHA), which can affect the expression and activity of numerous proteins, such as HSPs, confirmed the specificity and sensitivity of the probe in cancer targeting. Additionally, PET/CT imaging in a lung metastasis mouse model revealed increased lung uptake of [64Cu]Cu-DOTA-BDA-GM in metastatic sites, significantly higher than in non-metastatic lungs, illustrating the probe's ability to detect metastatic breast cancer. In conclusion, [64Cu]Cu-DOTA-BDA-GM represents a sensitive and specific approach for identifying HSP90 expression in breast cancer and metastases, offering promising implications for clinical diagnosis and monitoring.
