64Cu-Labeled Divalent Cystine Knot Peptide for Imaging Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques.
UNLABELLED The rupture of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques that lead to stroke and myocardial infarction may be induced by macrophage infiltration and augmented by the expression of integrin αvβ3. Indeed, atherosclerotic angiogenesis may be a promising marker of inflammation. In this study, an engineered integrin αvβ3-targeting PET probe, (64)Cu-NOTA-3-4A, derived from a divalent knottin mini...
متن کاملA Radiofluorinated Divalent Cystine Knot Peptide for Tumor PET Imaging
A divalent knottin containing two separate integrin binding epitopes (RGD) in the adjacent loops, 3-4A, was recently developed and reported in our previous publication. In the current study, 3-4A was radiofluorinated with a 4-nitrophenyl 2-(18)F-fluoropropinate ((18)F-NFP) group and the resulting divalent positron emission tomography (PET) probe, (18)F-FP-3-4A, was evaluated as a novel imaging ...
متن کامل99mTc-Labeled Cystine Knot Peptide Targeting Integrin αvβ6 for Tumor SPECT Imaging
Integrin αvβ6 is overexpressed in a variety of cancers, and its expression is often associated with poor prognosis. Therefore, there is a need to develop affinity reagents for noninvasive imaging of integrin αvβ6 expression since it may provide early cancer diagnosis, more accurate prognosis, and better treatment planning. We recently engineered and validated highly stable cystine knot peptides...
متن کامل64Cu-DOTATATE PET/MRI for Detection of Activated Macrophages in Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques
All patients referred to our institution for carotid endarterectomy were screened for inclusion. Inclusion criteria were significant carotid stenosis with recent cerebrovascular symptoms; stroke, amaurosis fugax or TIA. Exclusion criteria were age <50 years, current infection, pregnancy, renal insufficiency, or severe claustrophobia. All patients underwent two simultaneous PET/MR procedures aft...
متن کاملHigh-resolution MR Imaging of Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques
High-resolution carotid MRI allows visualization of carotid atherosclerotic plaque characteristics. MRI serves as a noninvasive option for the detection of active plaque inflammation and intraplaque hemorrhage. Significant gains in signal-tonoise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio can be obtained for carotid atheroma imaging at 3T compared with 1.5T. Normalized wall index or wall area on MRI has...
