TSPO expression in brain tumours: is TSPO a target for brain tumour imaging?
Positron emission tomography (PET) alone or in combination with MRI is increasingly assuming a central role in the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for brain tumours with the aim of addressing tumour heterogeneity, assisting in patient stratification, and contributing to predicting treatment response. The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) is expressed in high-grade gliomas,...
متن کاملTSPO imaging in parkinsonian disorders
Microglial activation is a key aspect of the neuroinflammatory process in neurodegenerative disorders including idiopathic and atypical parkinsonian disorders. With positron emission tomography (PET) it has become possible to image this phenomenon in vivo and over the last years patterns of microglia activation corresponding with the known distribution of neuropathological changes in these diso...
متن کاملTwo binding sites for [3H]PBR28 in human brain: implications for TSPO PET imaging of neuroinflammation.
[(11)C]PBR28, a radioligand targeting the translocator protein (TSPO), does not produce a specific binding signal in approximately 14% of healthy volunteers. This phenomenon has not been reported for [(11)C]PK11195, another TSPO radioligand. We measured the specific binding signals with [(3)H]PK11195 and [(3)H]PBR28 in brain tissue from 22 donors. Overall, 23% of the samples did not generate a ...
متن کاملA TSPO ligand attenuates brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease without effective treatment. After ICH, the immediate infiltration of leukocytes and activation of microglia are accompanied by a rapid up-regulation of the 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO). TSPO ligands have shown anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties in models of CNS injury. In this study, we determined the impact of a TSPO ...
متن کاملIn vivo TSPO imaging in patients with multiple sclerosis: a brain PET study with [18F]FEDAA1106
BACKGROUND The activation of microglia, in general, and the upregulation of the translocator protein (18 kDa) (TSPO) system, in particular, are key features of neuroinflammation, of which the in vivo visualization and quantitative assessment are still challenging due to the lack of appropriate molecular imaging biomarkers. Recent positron emission tomography (PET) studies using TSPO radioligand...
