Abstract

Purpose : Integrin alpha Vbeta3 is preferentially increased on neovascular endothelial cells and is involved in ocular angiogenesis. We explored the use of integrin alphaVbeta3-targeted RGD-peptide for in vivo imaging of choroidal neovascularization and evaluated the serial angiogenic activity of 99mTc-IDA-D-[c(RGDfK)]2 for detecting the lesion of laser-irradiated choroidal tissues.

Methods : Male C57Bl/6 mice were treated with retinal argon laser photocoagulation to induce CNV. Mice were intravenously injected with 99mTc-IDA-D-[c(RGDfK)]2, synthesized by incorporating [99mTc(CO)3]+ into the precursor (IDA-D-[c(RGDfK)]2). Images of 99mTc-IDA-D-[c(RGDfK)]2 was obtained before laser induction (0 day) and 1, 3, 7, and 14 days after the induction. Regional alterations in the eye of CNV models were measured from the in vivo uptake of 99mTc-IDA-D-[c(RGDfK)]2 images created by region of intest (ROI) using a small animal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Integrin mRNA expression in the retinal andchorodial tissue was measured by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Histopatholgy and fluorescent staining assay were performed on in vivo imgaged retina/choroidal tissues with an intense 99mTc-IDA-D-[c(RGDfK)]2 signal using anti-ICAM2, Lectin-BS1-TRITC, anti-alphaVbeta3 integrin, and FITC-D-[c(RGDfK)]2

Results : The radio-uptake count in eyes with induced CNV was significantly higher than the fellow eye from Day 1 to Day 14 (all p <0.05) and peaked at Day 3. Histopathological characterization revealed that a prominent SPECT signal of 99mTc-IDA-D-[c(RGDfK)]2 corresponded to the presence of choroidal neovascularization with integrin alphaV beta3 and intercellular adhesion molecule 2 expression. Integrin alphaVbeta3 mRNA expression was remarkably increased at Day 1.

Conclusions : Our results demonstrated that 99mTc-IDA-D-[c(RGDfK)]2 SPECT is a sensitive and integrin- targeted probe for noninvasively detecting the CNV event.
