abstract

background: finding a suitable method for rapid, accurate and reliable estimation of absorbed dose has high priority in management of the radiation exposed persons. shortly after radiation exposure, apoptosis is a major detriment in proliferative tissues such as the hematopoietic system. therefore, quantification of apoptosis in these tissues could be useful for rapid estimation of radiation exposure. annexin v (anx) is considered as a biological probe for detection of apoptotic cells. the aim of the present study is to investigate the potential suitability of apoptosis quantification for estimation of radiation exposure. materials and methods: in order to determine the biological distribution of anx within the mice body after radiation exposure, mice whole body irradiated with 2, 4, 6 and 8 gy (60co gamma rays). ten hours later, anx conjugated with super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spio-anx) was administered intravenously and magnetic resonance imaging was conducted 3 hours later. results: average signal intensities in the regions of interest (rois) of the femur bone marrow, liver and testis were calculated and normalized to parafemoral muscle signals. spio-anx accumulated in bone marrow of irradiated groups and significantly decreased the normalized mean of signal intensity for bone marrow in comparison with control group (p< 0.01). conclusion: tracing and quantification of spio-anx in bone marrow can be used as an indicator for radiation exposure. however, development and optimization of the assay are necessary for discrimination between different radiation doses.

Preparation and biodistribution study of 99mTc-EC-Annexin-SPIO as a tracer of radiation induced apoptosis in mice model

Introduction: Apoptosis is a major consequence of ionizing radiation in proliferative tissues and quantification of the apoptotic cells could be helpful for noninvasive assessment and estimation of the radiation absorbed dose. Annexin V conjugated with super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (ANX-SPIO) is a biological probe for detection of apoptotic cells using magnetic resonance imaging. ...

In-vivo visualization of radiation-induced apoptosis using (125)I-annexin V.

BACKGROUND As apoptosis occurs in tumors within a short time after irradiation, the detection of the frequency of apoptosis may be useful as an indicator of the effect of treatment. For the evaluation of apoptosis under these conditions, tissue extraction from patients is indispensable. AIM To develop a noninvasive imaging technique to measure and monitor apoptosis in tumor cells caused by X-...

Iodination of annexin V for imaging apoptosis.

UNLABELLED Our goal in this investigation was to develop a method for iodinating annexin V that would be suitable for the in vivo detection of apoptosis. METHODS Annexin V was iodinated with (125)I using 2 different techniques: direct iodination with IODO-BEADS, resulting in the iodination of tyrosine residues; and use of the Bolton-Hunter reagent, which binds to lysine. The active fraction o...

Apoptosis imaging: beyond annexin V.

Induction of apoptosis is the primary mechanism through which most chemotherapies cause tumor cell death. Early assessment of tumor response is required to manage patients in terms of quality of life versus intensive chemotherapy. Although imaging with radiolabeled annexin V has been intensively investigated, it is still not sufficiently mature for clinical application. This article will summar...
