ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a key component of B cell receptor (BCR) signaling, and as such a critical regulator of cell proliferation and survival. Aberrant BCR signaling is important in the pathogenesis of various B cell malignancies and autoimmune disorders. Here, we describe the development of a novel positron emission tomography (PET) tracer for imaging BTK expression and/or occupancy by small molecule therapeutics.METHODS:
Radiochemistry was carried out by reacting the precursor with [18F]fluoride on a GE FX-FN TracerLab synthesis module to produce [18F]BTK-1 with a 6% decay-corrected radiochemical yield, 100 ± 6 GBq/µmol molar activity, and a radiochemical purity of 99%. Following intravenous administration of [18F]BTK-1 (3.63 ± 0.59 MBq, 0.084 ± 0.05 µg), 60-min dynamic images were acquired in two xenograft models REC-1, an efficacious mantle cell lymphoma model, and U87MG, a non-efficacious glioblastoma model. Subsequent studies included vehicle, pretreatment (10 min prior to tracer injection), and displacement (30 min post-tracer injection) studies with different reversible BTK inhibitors to examine BTK binding. Human radiation dosimetry was estimated based on PET imaging in healthy rats.RESULTS:
Uptake of [18F]BTK-1 was significantly higher in BTK expressing REC-1 tumors than non-BTK expressing U87MG tumors. Administration of BTK inhibitors prior to tracer administration blocked [18F]BTK-1 binding in the REC-1 tumor model consistent with [18F]BTK-1 binding to BTK. The predicted effective dose in humans was 0.0199 ± 0.0007 mSv/MBq.CONCLUSION:
[18F]BTK-1 is a promising PET tracer for imaging of BTK, which could provide valuable information for patient selection, drug dose determination, and improving our understanding of BTK biology in humans.Palavras-chave
