To construct a positron emission tomography (PET) probe
68
Ga-NOTA-376
targeting CLDN18
.2 using a non-site-specific labeling method
and to evaluate its in vitro and in vivo properties.
Methods:
The chelating agent p-SCN-Bn-NOTA was used to non-site-specifically conjugate the nanobody 376 targeting CLDN18.2
resulting in the precursor NOTA-376
which was then radiolabeled with
68
Ga. The labeling efficiency
radiochemical purity
and in vitro stability of the probe were determined by radio- thin layer chromatography (Radio-TLC)
and micro-PET/ computed tomography (CT) imaging experiments were conducted in a nude mouse model of human gastric adenocarcinoma.
Results:
68
Ga-NOTA-376 demonstrated a high labeling yield (89.98±0.07) %
high radiochemical purity (97.67±0.02)% and high specific activity (16.69±6.60) GBq/μmol
and remained stable in 5% human serum albumin (HSA) and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Micro-PET/CT results indicated that the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV
max
) of the probe in CLDN18.2-positive tumors was significantly higher than in CLDN18.2-negative tumors. At 4.0 h
the SUV
max
of CLDN18.2- positive tumors and CLDN18.2-negative tumors were 9.08±0.33 and 1.92±0.32
respectively.
Conclusion:
This study successfully constructed a CLDN18.2-targeting probe
68
Ga-NOTA-376 using a non-site-specific labeling method
which showed high labeling efficiency
good stability
and targeting capability
making it a potential PET probe for the detection of CLDN18.2 protein expression levels.
