肉芽肿性多血管炎(granulomatosis with polyangiitis,GPA)是一种原发性、坏死性、肉芽肿性小血管炎,大多数患者出现血清学抗蛋白酶3(RR3)及抗中性粒细胞胞质抗体(ANCA)阳性[1],其临床表现多样,通常可影响耳、鼻、眼、呼吸道、肾脏等器...肉芽肿性多血管炎(granulomatosis with polyangiitis,GPA)是一种原发性、坏死性、肉芽肿性小血管炎,大多数患者出现血清学抗蛋白酶3(RR3)及抗中性粒细胞胞质抗体(ANCA)阳性[1],其临床表现多样,通常可影响耳、鼻、眼、呼吸道、肾脏等器官,并可累及神经系统、皮肤等。GPA的治疗包括诱导缓解和维持治疗,其中诱导缓解时主要以糖皮质激素联合环磷酰胺(CTX)或利妥昔单抗(RTX)为主。虽然大多数GPA患者经过正规有效的治疗可得到有效缓解,但机会感染的风险明显增加[2],尤其是肺孢子菌肺炎(pneumocystis pneumonia,PCP)最为凶险致命,且常出现在诱导缓解及初始治疗的前12个月[3]。因此,及早对GPA患者开展有效的PCP预防极为重要。展开更多

This study aimed to investigate the possibility of using Na1311 labeled LyP-1 peptide as an imaging agent or a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical in breast carcinoma and its metastasis. Methods The 10-mer cyclic peptide contained the LyP-1 sequence (YCGNKRTRGC) was synthesized by the solid phase method. Disulfide bonds between the cysteines maintain the cyclic structure. The LyP-1 peptide was labeled with Na1311 using the chloramine-T method. The [1311] LyP-1 peptide and a [1311] control peptide were injected via tail vein into nude mice bearing MDA-MB-435 tumor xenografts. Biodistribution and imaging results in vivo were obtained. Results The labeling efficiencies of LyP-1 peptide reached 80%+5% (n=5). The radiochemical purity was about 96%. The radiochemical purity of the labeled compound remains 92% at 24 hours in human serum at 37~C. In the biodistribution studies, the [1311] LyP-1 peptide accumulated in the tumor to a higher level than in other organs. The [1311] LyP-1 peptide can successfully image the tumor in nude mice bearing MDA-MB-435 tumor xenografts. Conclusions The LyP-1 peptide could be effectively labeled with Na1311 and the labeled compound is stable in human serum at 37℃ for 24 hours. The high specificity of [1311] LyP-1 peptide suggests it may be a promising new radiotracer for identifying tumors.展开更多
