Comparison of the Therapeutic Effects of [ 211At]NaAt and [ 131I]NaI in an NIS-Expressing Thyroid Cancer Mouse Model. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23169434. [PMID: 36012698 PMCID: PMC9409053 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23169434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Astatine (211At) is an alpha-emitter with a better treatment efficacy against differentiated thyroid cancer compared with iodine (131I), a conventional beta-emitter. However, its therapeutic comparison has not been fully evaluated. In this study, we compared the therapeutic effect between [211At]NaAt and [131I]NaI. In vitro analysis of a double-stranded DNA break (DSB) and colony formation assay were performed using K1-NIS cells. The therapeutic effect was compared using K1-NIS xenograft mice administered with [211At]NaAt (0.4 MBq (n = 7), 0.8 MBq (n = 9), and 1.2 MBq (n = 4)), and [131I]NaI (1 MBq (n = 4), 3 MBq (n = 4), and 8 MBq (n = 4)). The [211At]NaAt induced higher numbers of DSBs and had a more reduced colony formation than [131I]NaI. In K1-NIS mice, dose-dependent therapeutic effects were observed in both [211At]NaAt and [131I]NaI. In [211At]NaAt, a stronger tumour-growth suppression was observed, while tumour regrowth was not observed until 18, 25, and 46 days after injection of 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 MBq of [211At]NaAt, respectively. While in [131I]NaI, this was observed within 12 days after injection (1, 3, and 8 MBq). The superior therapeutic effect of [211At]NaAt suggests the promising clinical applicability of targeted alpha therapy using [211At]NaAt in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer refractory to standard [131I]NaI treatment.

Lee H. Relative Efficacy of 225Ac-PSMA-617 and 177Lu-PSMA-617 in Prostate Cancer Based on Subcellular Dosimetry. Mol Imaging Radionucl Ther 2022; 31:1-6.

Abstract
Objectives: Radionuclide therapy targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) with alpha-emitting 225Ac-PSMA-617 has shown clinical efficacy even in cases of failed therapy with beta-emitting 177Lu-PSMA-617. We investigated the efficacy of 225Ac-PSMA-617 relative to 177Lu-PSMA-617 using subcellular dosimetry. Methods: A 3-dimensional model of prostate cancer was constructed. For each decay, the absorbed and equivalent radiation dose to the cell nuclei was calculated. The relative efficacy per administered activity was calculated by taking into account the differences in residence time and tumor uptake. Results: As the tumor size increased, the absorbed dose from 225Ac-PSMA-617 increased linearly (R2: 0.99) and reached an asymptote near the maximum alpha range (85 µm), whereas the absorbed dose from 177Lu-PSMA-617 continued to increase linearly (R2: 0.99). The equivalent dose per decay was 2,320, 2,900, and 823-fold higher in favor of 225Ac-PSMA-617 compared to 177Lu-PSMA-617 in a single cell, 100 µm-radius micrometastasis, and macroscopic tumor, respectively. Per administered activity, the relative efficacy of 225Ac-PSMA-617 compared to 177Lu-PSMA-617 in respective tumor sizes was at least 3,480, 4,350, and 1,230-fold higher, and possibly 11,800, 14,900, and 4,200-fold higher considering differences in tumor uptake. Conclusion: At commonly administered 1,000-fold lower activity of 225Ac-PSMA-617 relative to 177Lu-PSMA-617, the equivalent radiation dose deposited by 225Ac-PSMA-617 is higher in measurable disease and much higher in microscopic disease compared to 177Lu-PSMA-617.

Fibroblast activation protein targeted therapy using [ 177Lu]FAPI-46 compared with [ 225Ac]FAPI-46 in a pancreatic cancer model. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2021; 49:871-880. [PMID: 34537893 PMCID: PMC8803706 DOI: 10.1007/s00259-021-05554-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 68] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Purpose Fibroblast activation protein (FAP), which has high expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts of epithelial cancers, can be used as a theranostic target. Our previous study used 64Cu and 225Ac-labelled FAP inhibitors (FAPI-04) for a FAP-expressing pancreatic cancer xenograft imaging and therapy. However, the optimal therapeutic radionuclide for FAPI needs to be investigated further. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of beta-emitter (177Lu)-labelled FAPI-46 and alpha-emitter (225Ac)-labelled FAPI-46 in pancreatic cancer models. Methods PET scans (1 h post injection) were acquired in PANC-1 xenograft mice (n = 9) after the administration of [18F]FAPI-74 (12.4 ± 1.7 MBq) for the companion imaging. The biodistribution of [177Lu]FAPI-46 and [225Ac]FAPI-46 were evaluated in the xenograft model (total n = 12). For the determination of treatment effects, [177Lu]FAPI-46 and [225Ac]FAPI-46 were injected into PANC-1 xenograft mice at different doses: 3 MBq (n = 6), 10 MBq (n = 6), 30 MBq (n = 6), control (n = 4) for [177Lu]FAPI-46, and 3 kBq (n = 3), 10 kBq (n = 2), 30 kBq (n = 6), control (n = 7) for [225Ac]FAPI-46. Tumour sizes and body weights were followed. Results [18F]FAPI-74 showed rapid clearance by the kidneys and high accumulation in the tumour and intestine 1 h after administration. [177Lu]FAPI-46 and [225Ac]FAPI-46 also showed rapid clearance by the kidneys and relatively high accumulation in the tumour at 3 h. Both [177Lu]FAPI-46 and [225Ac]FAPI-46 showed tumour-suppressive effects, with a mild decrease in body weight. The treatment effects of [177Lu]FAPI-46 were relatively slow but lasted longer than those of [225Ac]FAPI-46. Conclusion This study suggested the possible application of FAPI radioligand therapy in FAP-expressing pancreatic cancer. Further evaluation is necessary to find the best radionuclide with shorter half-life, as well as the combination with therapies targeting tumour cells directly.

PARP Targeted Alpha-Particle Therapy Enhances Response to PD-1 Immune-Checkpoint Blockade in a Syngeneic Mouse Model of Glioblastoma. ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci 2021; 4:344-351. [PMID: 33615184 DOI: 10.1021/acsptsci.0c00206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
We have previously demonstrated potent antitumor effects of PARP targeted alpha-therapy with astatine-211-MM4 ([211At]MM4) in neuroblastoma preclinical models, although differential sensitivity suggests it is unlikely to be curative as a single-agent in all tumor types. Alpha-particle induced DNA damage can elicit an immune response that results in T-cell activation against tumor cells; however, tumor cells can evade immune surveillance through expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). Therefore, we investigated the effects of α particle therapy in combination with immune-checkpoint blockade using astatine-211-MM4 and anti-programmed death receptor 1 (anti-PD-1) immunotherapy in a syngeneic mouse model of glioblastoma. We characterized the sensitivity of four human glioblastoma cell lines to [211At]MM4 in vitro. To evaluate [211At]MM4 treatment effects on hematological tissues, complete blood counts were performed after a single dose at 12, 24, or 36 MBq/kg. In vivo efficacy was evaluated in a syngeneic mouse model of glioblastoma using GL26 glioblastoma cells in CB57BL/6J mice treated with either 36 MBq/kg [211At]MM4, anti-PD-1 antibody, or a combination of the two. Following a single dose of [211At]MM4, lymphocytes are significantly decreased compared to control at both 72 h and 1 week following treatment followed by recovery of counts by 2 weeks. However, neutrophils showed an increase with all dose levels of [211At]MM4 exhibiting higher levels than control. The average best tumor responses for combination, anti-PD-1, and [211At]MM4 were 100%, 83.6%, and 58.2% decrease in tumor volume, respectively. Average progression free intervals for combination, anti-PD-1, [211At]MM4, and control groups was 65, 36.4, 23.2, and 3 days, respectively. The percentages of disease-free mice at the end of the study for combination and anti-PD-1 were 100% and 60%, while [211At]MM4 and control groups were both 0%. In summary, combination therapy was more effective than either single agent in all response categories analyzed, highlighting the potential for PARP targeted alpha-therapy to enhance PD-1 immune-checkpoint blockade.

Abstract
As well as being a significant source of environmental radiation exposure, α-particles are increasingly considered for use in targeted radiation therapy. A better understanding of α-particle induced damage at the DNA scale can be achieved by following their tracks in real-time in targeted living cells. Focused α-particle microbeams can facilitate this but, due to their low energy (up to a few MeV) and limited range, α-particles detection, delivery, and follow-up observations of radiation-induced damage remain difficult. In this study, we developed a thin Boron-doped Nano-Crystalline Diamond membrane that allows reliable single α-particles detection and single cell irradiation with negligible beam scattering. The radiation-induced responses of single 3 MeV α-particles delivered with focused microbeam are visualized in situ over thirty minutes after irradiation by the accumulation of the GFP-tagged RNF8 protein at DNA damaged sites.

Abstract
Radiotherapy in children causes debilitating cognitive decline, partly linked to impaired neurogenesis. Irradiation targets primarily cancer cells but also endogenous neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) leading to cell death or cell cycle arrest. Here we evaluated the effects of lithium on proliferation, cell cycle and DNA damage after irradiation of young NSPCs in vitro. NSPCs were treated with 1 or 3 mM LiCl and we investigated proliferation capacity (neurosphere volume and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation). Using flow cytometry, we analysed apoptosis (annexin V), cell cycle (propidium iodide) and DNA damage (γH2AX) after irradiation (3.5 Gy) of lithium-treated NSPCs. Lithium increased BrdU incorporation and, dose-dependently, the number of cells in replicative phase as well as neurosphere growth. Irradiation induced cell cycle arrest in G1 and G2/M phases. Treatment with 3 mM LiCl was sufficient to increase NSPCs in S phase, boost neurosphere growth and reduce DNA damage. Lithium did not affect the levels of apoptosis, suggesting that it does not rescue NSPCs committed to apoptosis due to accumulated DNA damage. Lithium is a very promising candidate for protection of the juvenile brain from radiotherapy and for its potential to thereby improve the quality of life for those children who survive their cancer.
