Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the novel probe (18)F-6-fluoro-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl] pyridine-3-carboxamide ((18)F-MEL050) for the imaging of primary and metastatic melanoma. METHODS: PET using (18)F-MEL050 was performed in murine models of melanoma. The specificity of (18)F-MEL050 was studied by comparing its accumulation in pigmented B16-F0 allograft tumors with that of human amelanotic A375 xenografts using PET and high-resolution autoradiography. (18)F-MEL050 PET results were compared with (18)F-FDG PET, the current standard in melanoma molecular imaging. To test the ability of (18)F-MEL050 to assess the metastatic spread of melanoma, a murine model of lung metastasis was imaged by PET/CT, and results correlated with physical assessment of tumor burden in the lungs. RESULTS: In pigmented B16-F0 grafts, (18)F-MEL050 PET yielded a tumor-to-background ratio of approximately 20:1 at 1 h and greater than 50:1 at 2 and 3 h. In the B16-F0 melanoma allograft model, tumor-to-background ratio was more than 9-fold higher for (18)F-MEL050 than for (18)F-FDG (50.9 +/- 6.9 vs. 5.8 +/- 0.5). No uptake was observed in the amelanotic melanoma xenografts. Intense uptake of (18)F-MEL050 was evident in metastatic lesions in the lungs of B16-BL6 tumor-bearing mice on PET at 2 h after tracer injection, with high concordance between (18)F-MEL050 accumulation on PET/CT and tumor burden determined at necroscopy. CONCLUSION: (18)F-MEL050 has a rapid tumor uptake and high retention with specificity for melanin, suggesting great potential for noninvasive clinical evaluation of suspected metastatic melanoma.
