The theranostics system comprises a novel 89Zr-labeled drug delivery system (DDS), derived from the novel biodegradable polymeric micelle, gLactosomeh nanoparticles conjugated with specific shortened IgG variant, and aims to successfully deliver therapeutically effective molecules, such as the apoptosis-inducing small interfering RNA (siRNA) intracellularly while offering simultaneous tumor visualization via PET imaging. A 27 kDa-human single chain variable fragment (scFv) of IgG to establish clinically applicable PET imaging and theranostics in cancer medicine was fabricated to target mesothelin (MSLN), a 40 kDa-differentiation-related cell surface glycoprotein antigen, which is frequently and highly expressed by malignant tumors. This system coupled with the cell penetrating peptide (CPP)-modified and photosensitizer (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (4-aminophenyl) porphyrin (TPP))-loaded Lactosome particles for photochemical internalized (PCI) driven intracellular siRNA delivery and the combination of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) offers a promising nano-theranostic-based cancer therapy via its targeted apoptosis-inducing feature. This review focuses on the combined advances in nanotechnology and material sciences utilizing the g89Zr-labeled CPP and TPP-loaded Lactosome particlesh and future directions based on important milestones and recent developments in this platform. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=LimMelissa Siaw Han en-aut-sei=Lim en-aut-mei=Melissa Siaw Han kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtsukiTakashi en-aut-sei=Ohtsuki en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakenakaFumiaki en-aut-sei=Takenaka en-aut-mei=Fumiaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiKazuko en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Kazuko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=AkehiMasaru en-aut-sei=Akehi en-aut-mei=Masaru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=UjiHirotaka en-aut-sei=Uji en-aut-mei=Hirotaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobuchiHirotsugu en-aut-sei=Kobuchi en-aut-mei=Hirotsugu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasakiTakanori en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=OzekiEiichi en-aut-sei=Ozeki en-aut-mei=Eiichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuuraEiji en-aut-sei=Matsuura en-aut-mei=Eiji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Cell Chemistry, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering in Health Systems, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Collaborative Research Centre for OMIC, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Collaborative Research Centre for OMIC, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Collaborative Research Centre for OMIC, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Material Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Cell Chemistry, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Collaborative Research Centre for OMIC, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Technology Research Laboratory, Shimadzu Corporation kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Cell Chemistry, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=theranostics kn-keyword=theranostics en-keyword=single chain variable fragment of IgG (scFv) kn-keyword=single chain variable fragment of IgG (scFv) en-keyword=drug delivery system (DDS) kn-keyword=drug delivery system (DDS) en-keyword=photodynamic therapy (PDT) kn-keyword=photodynamic therapy (PDT) en-keyword=PET imaging kn-keyword=PET imaging en-keyword=accelerated blood clearance (ABC) kn-keyword=accelerated blood clearance (ABC) en-keyword=cell penetrating peptide (CPP) kn-keyword=cell penetrating peptide (CPP) en-keyword=siRNA kn-keyword=siRNA en-keyword=ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) kn-keyword=ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=67 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=359 end-page=367 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2013 dt-pub=201312 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=In Vitro Assessment of Factors Affecting the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient of Jurkat Cells Using Bio-phantoms en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=It is well known that many tumor tissues show lower apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, and that several factors are involved in the reduction of ADC values. The aim of this study was to clarify how much each factor contributes to decreases in ADC values. We investigate the roles of cell density, extracellular space, intracellular factors, apoptosis and necrosis in ADC values using bio-phantoms. The ADC values of bio-phantoms, in which Jurkat cells were encapsulated by gellan gum, were measured by a 1.5-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging device with constant diffusion time of 30sec. Heating at 42 was used to induce apoptosis while heating at 48 was used to induce necrosis. Cell death after heating was evaluated by flow cytometric analysis and electron microscopy. The ADC values of bio-phantoms including non-heated cells decreased linearly with increases in cell density, and showed a steep decline when the distance between cells became less than 3m. The analysis of ADC values of cells after destruction of cellular structures by sonication suggested that approximately two-thirds of the ADC values of cells originate from their cellular structures. The ADC values of bio-phantoms including necrotic cells increased while those including apoptotic cells decreased. This study quantitatively clarified the role of the cellular factors and the extracellular space in determining the ADC values produced by tumor cells. The intermediate diffusion time of 30msec might be optimal to distinguish between apoptosis and necrosis. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KatashimaKazunori en-aut-sei=Katashima

Factors Affecting the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient of Ramos Cells Using Bio-phantoms en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The roles of cell density, extracellular space, intracellular factors, and apoptosis induced by the molecularly targeted drug rituximab on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were investigated using bio-phantoms. In these bio-phantoms, Ramos cells (a human Burkitts lymphoma cell line) were encapsulated in gellan gum. The ADC values decreased linearly with the increase in cell density, and declined steeply when the extracellular space became less than 4 m. The analysis of ADC values after destruction of the cellular membrane by sonication indicated that approximately 65% of the ADC values of normal cells originate from the cell structures made of membranes and that the remaining 35% originate from intracellular components. Microparticles, defined as particles smaller than the normal cells, increased in number after rituximab treatments, migrated to the extracellular space and significantly decreased the ADC values of bio-phantoms during apoptosis. An in vitro study using bio-phantoms was conducted to quantitatively clarify the roles of cellular factors and of extracellular space in determining the ADC values yielded by tumor cells and the mechanism by which apoptosis changes those values. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SasakiTakanori en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KurodaMasahiro en-aut-sei=Kuroda en-aut-mei=Masahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatashimaKazunori en-aut-sei=Katashima en-aut-mei=Kazunori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=AshidaMasakazu en-aut-sei=Ashida en-aut-mei=Masakazu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuzakiHidenobu en-aut-sei=Matsuzaki en-aut-mei=Hidenobu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=AsaumiJunichi en-aut-sei=Asaumi en-aut-mei=Junichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MurakamiJun en-aut-sei=Murakami en-aut-mei=Jun kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhnoSeiichiro en-aut-sei=Ohno en-aut-mei=Seiichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatoHirokazu en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Hirokazu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanazawaSusumu en-aut-sei=Kanazawa en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Radiological Technology, Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Central Division of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Radiological Technology, Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Departments of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine en-keyword=apparent diffusion coefficient value kn-keyword=apparent diffusion coefficient value en-keyword=cell density kn-keyword=cell density en-keyword=extracellular space kn-keyword=extracellular space en-keyword=bio-phantom kn-keyword=bio-phantom END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=2022 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=4635171 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=20220621 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=In Vivo Functional Assessment of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporters (SGLTs) Using [F-18]Me4FDG PET in Rats en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Background. Mediating glucose absorption in the small intestine and renal clearance, sodium glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) have emerged as an attractive therapeutic target in diabetic patients. A substantial fraction of patients, however, only achieve inadequate glycemic control. Thus, we aimed to assess the potential of the SGLT-targeting PET radiotracer alpha-methyl-4-deoxy-4-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucopyranoside ([F-18]Me4FDG) as a noninvasive intestinal and renal biomarker of SGLT-mediated glucose transport. Methods. We investigated healthy rats using a dedicated small animal PET system. Dynamic imaging was conducted after administration of the reference radiotracer 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose ([F-18]FDG), or the SGLT-targeting agent, [F-18]Me4FDG either directly into the digestive tract (for assessing intestinal absorption) or via the tail vein (for evaluating kidney excretion). To confirm the specificity of [F-18]Me4FDG and responsiveness to treatment, a subset of animals was also pretreated with the SGLT inhibitor phlorizin. In this regard, an intraintestinal route of administration was used to assess tracer absorption in the digestive tract, while for renal assessment, phlorizin was injected intravenously (IV). Results. Serving as reference, intestinal administration of [F-18]FDG led to slow absorption with retention of 89.2 +/- 3.5% of administered radioactivity at 15 min. [F-18]Me4FDG, however, was rapidly absorbed into the blood and cleared from the intestine within 15 min, leading to markedly lower tracer retention of 18.5 +/- 1.2% (P < 0.0001). Intraintestinal phlorizin led to marked increase of [F-18]Me4FDG uptake (15 min, 99.9 +/- 4.7%; P < 0.0001 vs. untreated controls), supporting the notion that this PET agent can measure adequate SGLT inhibition in the digestive tract. In the kidneys, radiotracer was also sensitive to SGLT inhibition. After IV injection, [F-18]Me4FDG reabsorption in the renal cortex was significantly suppressed by phlorizin when compared to untreated animals (%ID/g at 60 min, 0.42 +/- 0.10 vs. untreated controls, 1.20 +/- 0.03; P < 0.0001). Conclusion. As a noninvasive read-out of the concurrent SGLT expression in both the digestive tract and the renal cortex, [F-18]Me4FDG PET may serve as a surrogate marker for treatment response to SGLT inhibition. As such, [F-18]Me4FDG may enable improvement in glycemic control in diabetes by PET-based monitoring strategies. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MatsusakaYohji en-aut-sei=Matsusaka en-aut-mei=Yohji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ChenXinyu en-aut-sei=Chen en-aut-mei=Xinyu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=Arias-LozaPaula en-aut-sei=Arias-Loza en-aut-mei=Paula kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=WernerRudolf A. en-aut-sei=Werner en-aut-mei=Rudolf A. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NoseNaoko en-aut-sei=Nose en-aut-mei=Naoko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasakiTakanori en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=RoweSteven P. en-aut-sei=Rowe en-aut-mei=Steven P. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=PomperMartin G. en-aut-sei=Pomper en-aut-mei=Martin G. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=LapaConstantin en-aut-sei=Lapa en-aut-mei=Constantin kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=HiguchiTakahiro en-aut-sei=Higuchi en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Nuclear Medicine and Comprehensive Heart Failure Center, University Hospital of W?rzburg kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Nuclear Medicine and Comprehensive Heart Failure Center, University Hospital of W?rzburg kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Nuclear Medicine and Comprehensive Heart Failure Center, University Hospital of W?rzburg kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Nuclear Medicine and Comprehensive Heart Failure Center, University Hospital of W?rzburg kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, The Russell H Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, The Russell H Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil= Nuclear Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Augsburg kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=10 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=1261330 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=20230907 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=In vivo tracking transplanted cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells using nuclear medicine imaging en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Introduction: Transplantation of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) is a promising treatment for heart failure. Information on long-term cell engraftment after transplantation is clinically important. However, clinically applicable evaluation methods have not yet been established.
Methods: In this study, to noninvasively assess transplanted cell engraftment, human SLC5A5, which encodes a sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) that transports radioactive tracers such as 125I, 18F-tetrafluoroborate (TFB), and 99mTc-pertechnetate (99mTcO4?), was transduced into human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and nuclear medicine imaging was used to track engrafted human iPSC-CMs.
Results: To evaluate the pluripotency of NIS-expressing human iPSCs, they were subcutaneously transplanted into immunodeficient rats. Teratomas were detected by 99mTcO4? single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging. NIS expression and the uptake ability of 125I were maintained in purified human iPSC-CMs. NIS-expressing human iPSC-CMs transplanted into immunodeficient rats could be detected over time using 99mTcO4? SPECT/CT imaging. Unexpectedly, NIS expression affected cell proliferation of human iPSCs and iPSC-derived cells.
Discussion: Such functionally designed iPSC-CMs have potential clinical applications as a noninvasive method of grafted cell evaluation, but further studies are needed to determine the effects of NIS transduction on cellular characteristics and functions. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SaitoYukihiro en-aut-sei=Saito en-aut-mei=Yukihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NoseNaoko en-aut-sei=Nose en-aut-mei=Naoko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=IidaToshihiro en-aut-sei=Iida en-aut-mei=Toshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=AkazawaKaoru en-aut-sei=Akazawa en-aut-mei=Kaoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KannoTakayuki en-aut-sei=Kanno en-aut-mei=Takayuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujimotoYuki en-aut-sei=Fujimoto en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasakiTakanori en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=AkehiMasaru en-aut-sei=Akehi en-aut-mei=Masaru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=HiguchiTakahiro en-aut-sei=Higuchi en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=AkagiSatoshi en-aut-sei=Akagi en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshidaMasashi en-aut-sei=Yoshida en-aut-mei=Masashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyoshiToru en-aut-sei=Miyoshi en-aut-mei=Toru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=ItoHiroshi en-aut-sei=Ito en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakamuraKazufumi en-aut-sei=Nakamura en-aut-mei=Kazufumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=14 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Molecular Imaging Project of RECTOR Program, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Molecular Imaging Project of RECTOR Program, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Molecular Imaging Project of RECTOR Program, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Okayama Medical Innovation Center, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Okayama Medical Innovation Center, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Molecular Imaging Project of RECTOR Program, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Chronic Kidney Disease and Cardiovascular Disease, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=13 en-affil=Department of General Internal Medicine 3, Kawasaki Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=14 en-affil=Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=sodium/iodide symporter kn-keyword=sodium/iodide symporter en-keyword=human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes kn-keyword=human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes en-keyword=single photon emission computed tomography kn-keyword=single photon emission computed tomography en-keyword=cell-based therapy kn-keyword=cell-based therapy en-keyword=in vivo imaging kn-keyword=in vivo imaging END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=2022 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=9810097 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=20220716 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Performance Evaluation of a Preclinical SPECT Scanner with a Collimator Designed for Medium-Sized Animals en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Background. Equipped with two stationary detectors, a large bore collimator for medium-sized animals has been recently introduced for dedicated preclinical single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. We aimed to evaluate the basic performance of the system using phantoms and healthy rabbits. Methods. A general-purpose medium-sized animal (GP-MSA) collimator with 135 mm bore diameter and thirty-three holes of 2.5 mm diameter was installed on an ultrahigh-resolution scanner equipped with two large stationary detectors (U-SPECT5-E/CT). The sensitivity and uniformity were investigated using a point source and a cylinder phantom containing Tc-99m-pertechnetate, respectively. Uniformity (in %) was derived using volumes of interest (VOIs) on images of the cylinder phantom and calculated as maximum count-minimum count/maximum count+minimum countx100, with lower values of % indicating superior performance. The spatial resolution and contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) were evaluated with images of a hot-rod Derenzo phantom using different activity concentrations. Feasibility of in vivo SPECT imaging was finally confirmed by rabbit imaging with the most commonly used clinical myocardial perfusion SPECT agent [Tc-99m]Tc-sestamibi (dynamic acquisition with a scan time of 5 min). Results. In the performance evaluation, a sensitivity of 790 cps/MBq, a spatial resolution with the hot-rod phantom of 2.5 mm, and a uniformity of 39.2% were achieved. The CNRs of the rod size 2.5 mm were 1.37, 1.24, 1.20, and 0.85 for activity concentration of 29.2, 1.0, 0.5, and 0.1 MBq/mL, respectively. Dynamic SPECT imaging in rabbits allowed to visualize most of the thorax and to generate time-activity curves of the left myocardial wall and ventricular cavity. Conclusion. Preclinical U-SPECT5-E/CT equipped with a large bore collimator demonstrated adequate sensitivity and resolution for in vivo rabbit imaging. Along with its unique features of SPECT molecular functional imaging is a superior collimator technology that is applicable to medium-sized animal models and thus may promote translational research for diagnostic purposes and development of novel therapeutics. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MatsusakaYohji en-aut-sei=Matsusaka en-aut-mei=Yohji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=WernerRudolf A. en-aut-sei=Werner en-aut-mei=Rudolf A. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=Arias-LozaPaula en-aut-sei=Arias-Loza en-aut-mei=Paula kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NoseNaoko en-aut-sei=Nose en-aut-mei=Naoko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasakiTakanori en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=ChenXinyu en-aut-sei=Chen en-aut-mei=Xinyu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=LapaConstantin en-aut-sei=Lapa en-aut-mei=Constantin kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=HiguchiTakahiro en-aut-sei=Higuchi en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= Department of Nuclear Medicine and Comprehensive Heart Failure Center, University Hospital of W?rzburg kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil= Department of Nuclear Medicine and Comprehensive Heart Failure Center, University Hospital of W?rzburg kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil= Department of Nuclear Medicine and Comprehensive Heart Failure Center, University Hospital of W?rzburg kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Nuclear Medicine and Comprehensive Heart Failure Center, University Hospital of W?rzburg kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Nuclear Medicine, Medical Faculty, University of Augsburg kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=30 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=1342 end-page=1349 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=20191126 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Robotic CT-guided out-of-plane needle insertion: comparison of angle accuracy with manual insertion in phantom and measurement of distance accuracy in animals en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Objectives
To evaluate the accuracy of robotic CT-guided out-of-plane needle insertion in phantom and animal experiments.
Methods
A robotic system (Zerobot), developed at our institution, was used for needle insertion. In the phantom experiment, 12 robotic needle insertions into a phantom at various angles in the XY and YZ planes were performed, and the same insertions were manually performed freehand, as well as guided by a smartphone application (SmartPuncture). Angle errors were compared between the robotic and smartphone-guided manual insertions using Studentfs t test. In the animal experiment, 6 robotic out-of-plane needle insertions toward targets of 1.0 mm in diameter placed in the kidneys and hip muscles of swine were performed, each with and without adjustment of needle orientation based on reconstructed CT images during insertion. Distance accuracy was calculated as the distance between the needle tip and the target center.
Results
In the phantom experiment, the mean angle errors of the robotic, freehand manual, and smartphone-guided manual insertions were 0.4, 7.0, and 3.7 in the XY plane and 0.6, 6.3, and 0.6 in the YZ plane, respectively. Robotic insertions in the XY plane were significantly (p < 0.001) more accurate than smartphone-guided insertions. In the animal experiment, the overall mean distance accuracy of robotic insertions with and without adjustment of needle orientation was 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm, respectively.
Conclusion
Robotic CT-guided out-of-plane needle insertions were more accurate than smartphone-guided manual insertions in the phantom and were also accurate in the in vivo procedure, particularly with adjustment during insertion. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KomakiToshiyuki en-aut-sei=Komaki en-aut-mei=Toshiyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirakiTakao en-aut-sei=Hiraki en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KamegawaTetsushi en-aut-sei=Kamegawa en-aut-mei=Tetsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsunoTakayuki en-aut-sei=Matsuno en-aut-mei=Takayuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakuraiJun en-aut-sei=Sakurai en-aut-mei=Jun kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuuraRyutaro en-aut-sei=Matsuura en-aut-mei=Ryutaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaguchiTakuya en-aut-sei=Yamaguchi en-aut-mei=Takuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasakiTakanori en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=MitsuhashiToshiharu en-aut-sei=Mitsuhashi en-aut-mei=Toshiharu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkamotoSoichiro en-aut-sei=Okamoto en-aut-mei=Soichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=UkaMayu en-aut-sei=Uka en-aut-mei=Mayu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuiYusuke en-aut-sei=Matsui en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=IguchiToshihiro en-aut-sei=Iguchi en-aut-mei=Toshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= en-aut-name=GobaraHideo en-aut-sei=Gobara en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=14 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanazawaSusumu en-aut-sei=Kanazawa en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=15 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering in Health Systems, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Center for Innovative Clinical Medicine, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Division of Radiology, Department of Medical Technology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Collaborative Research Center for OMIC, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Center for Innovative Clinical Medicine, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=13 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=14 en-affil=Division of Medical Informatics, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=15 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Medical School kn-affil= en-keyword=Robotics kn-keyword=Robotics en-keyword=Interventional radiology kn-keyword=Interventional radiology en-keyword=Animal experiments kn-keyword=Animal experiments END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=70 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=13 end-page=24 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2016 dt-pub=201602 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The Function of 2-glycoprotein I in Angiogenesis and Its in Vivo Distribution in Tumor Xenografts en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Intact 2-glycoprotein I (i2GPI) is a glycoprotein that regulates coagulation and fibrinolysis. Nicked 2GPI (n2GPI) possesses an angiogenic property at a relatively low concentration, and an antiangiogenic property at a high concentration. Here we investigated the functions of i 2GPI and n2GPI in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A-induced endothelial cell proliferation and tube formation. We used noninvasive PET imaging to analyze the in vivo distribution of intravenously injected 2GPI variants in tumor lesions in mice. i2GPI was incubated with plasmin to obtain n2GPI, and its N-terminal sequence was analyzed. n2GPI had at least one other cleavage site upstream of the 2GPI?s domain V, whereas the former plasmin-cleavage site locates between K317 and T318. Both of intact and nicked 2GPI significantly inhibited the VEGF-A-induced cell proliferation and the tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). PET imaging visualized considerably distributed intensities of all tested 2GPI variants in tumor lesions of pancreatic tumor cell-xenografts. These results indicate that 2GPI may be physiologically and pathophysiologically important in the regulation of not only coagulation and fibrinolysis, but also angiogenesis. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=Arum Tri Wahyuningsih en-aut-sei=Arum Tri Wahyuningsih en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShenLianhua en-aut-sei=Shen en-aut-mei=Lianhua kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiKazuko en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Kazuko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasakiTakanori en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakenakaFumiaki en-aut-sei=Takenaka en-aut-mei=Fumiaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=HanadaTakahisa en-aut-sei=Hanada en-aut-mei=Takahisa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=AkehiMasaru en-aut-sei=Akehi en-aut-mei=Masaru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=AkahoshiAkiya en-aut-sei=Akahoshi en-aut-mei=Akiya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=OzekiEiichi en-aut-sei=Ozeki en-aut-mei=Eiichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=AndoEiji en-aut-sei=Ando en-aut-mei=Eiji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuuraEiji en-aut-sei=Matsuura en-aut-mei=Eiji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Cell Chemistry , Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Collaborative Research Center (OMIC), Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Collaborative Research Center (OMIC), Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Collaborative Research Center (OMIC), Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Collaborative Research Center (OMIC), Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Collaborative Research Center (OMIC), Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Collaborative Research Center (OMIC), Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Collaborative Research Center (OMIC), Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Technology Research Laboratory, Shimadzu Corporation affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Life Science Business Department, Shimadzu Corporation affil-num=11 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Cell Chemistry , Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences en-keyword=2-glycoprotein I (2GPI) kn-keyword=2-glycoprotein I (2GPI) en-keyword=angiogenesis kn-keyword=angiogenesis en-keyword=vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) kn-keyword=vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) en-keyword=positron emission tomography (PET) imaging kn-keyword=positron emission tomography (PET) imaging END
