    Abstract The phrase "molecular imaging" is unquestionably current and is receiving ever increasing use. For example, two organizations, the Institute for Molecular Imaging and the Academy of Molecular Imaging have recently been established with molecular imaging as their focus, with journal entitled "Molecular Imaging" and "Molecular Imaging and Biology," respectively. Furthermore, the two leading journals in the field of nuclear medicine have recently added this phrase to their covers-becoming the "European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging" and "The Journal of Nuclear Medicine-advancing molecular imaging." The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering is the newest institute of the NIH. With this degree of attention, it may be surprising that there is as yet no universally accepted definition of molecular imaging. Numerous diverse definitions, some quite complex, have been proposed. With some exceptions, they all refer to imaging in the living animal of function at the cellular or molecular level. Thus molecular imaging may be defined as the observation of biological function at the molecular level in health and disease through some process involving non-invasive imaging of the living mammals.

    Abstract The field of antisense targeting is changing rapidly as additional results from in vitro studies and animal and patient trials become available. While these developments apply primarily to antisense chemotherapy, many have implications for antisense imaging and radiotherapy. It may now be profitable to reconsider antisense imaging in the light of these recent developments. With the benefit of further insight, it may be possible to predict which antisense mechanisms will be preferable for antisense imaging. It is also possible to consider the influences of carriers (vectors) on the targeting of antisense DNA and whether this might improve imaging. Furthermore, estimates showing only low mRNA steady-state copy numbers per cell may be reconsidered in refining predictions of tissue counting rates. Finally, recent results suggest that radiolabeling antisense DNAs may not adversely influence the targeting properties of antisense DNAs.

    Abstract The aim of this study is to explore the optimal labeling condition of technetium-99m labeled antisense oligonucleotides (ASON) DNA and sense oligonueleotides (SON) DNA against multi-drug resistance gene-1 (MIDR1) mRNA, to prepare its two-step icefrozen kits, and to perform the quality control of technetium-99m labeled ASON and SON DNAs and its two-step icefrozen kits. A 20 mer single-stranded ASON sequence and its SON sequence against MDR1 mRNA were synthesized respectively, both of the ASON and SON DNAs were uniform phosphorothioated for this investigation with a primary amine on the 5'-end via a six-carbon alkyl linker, and then were labeled with technetium-99m by conjugating with the bifunctional chelator S-Acetyl NHS-MAG3 to form ASON- and SON-MAC3 DNAs. The optimal labeling condition was explored by varying the amount of ASON- and SON-MAG3 DNAs, SnCl2.2H2O and buffer, the pH value in the reaction medium was also adjusted. The technetium-99m labeled ASON and SON DNAs' two-step icefrozen kits were developed. The radiochemical purities, labeling stability of ASON- and SON-MAG3 DNAs in vivo and vitro were measured, and stability of the two-step icefrozen kits were also studied. The recycled rates of ASON- and SON-MAG3 DNAs were over 70% (n >6), the two-step icefrozen kits of ASON- and SON-MAG3 DNAs were colourless ice crystal. The radiochemical purities of technetium-99m labeled ASON- and SON-MAG3 DNAs were over 92 %. The radiochemical purities were over 90% after stored at room temperature for 24 hours. The kits were stable within 6 months when stored at 0 degrees C, the radiochemical purities of technetium-99m labeled ASON- and SON-MAG3 DNAs were still over 90%. The two-step icefrozen kits of ASON- and SON-MAG3 DNAs were successfully developed. The radiochemical purities were all over 90%. The labeling method was simple, feasible and efficient with good stability.

    Abstract Despite many uncertainties concerning mechanism, synthetic single-strand antisense deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) are now in clinical trials for the chemotherapy of viral infections such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human papilloma virus; several cancers, including follicular lymphoma and acute myelogenous leukemia; inflammatory processes such as Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis and in allergic disorders. There are approximately 10 trials, and early results are generally encouraging. Therefore, the expectation is that antisense DNAs will be important to future chemotherapy. The question considered here is whether antisense DNAs will also be important to future nuclear medicine imaging. While efforts toward developing antisense imaging are comparatively nonexistent thus far, investigations into the mechanisms of cellular transport and localization and the development of a second generation of antisense DNAs have occurred largely within the antisense chemotherapy industry. Fortunately, many of the properties of DNA for antisense imaging, such as high in vivo stability and adequate cell membrane transport, are the same as those for antisense chemotherapy. Unfortunately, interests diverge in the case of several other key properties. For example, rapid localization and clearance kinetics of the radiolabel and prolonged retention in the target are requirements unique to nuclear medicine. No doubt the development of antisense imaging will continue to benefit from improvements in the antisense chemotherapy industry. However, a considerable effort will be required to optimize this approach for imaging (and radiotherapy). The potential of specifically targeting virtually any disease or normal tissue should make this effort worthwhile.

    Abstract This study was performed to explore the feasibility of antisense imaging with radiolabeled antisense oligonucleotides DNA in tumored nude mice in vivo. Two different tumor cell lines, KB-G2 and KB-31,were used; both antisense and control sense DNAs were administrated intratumorally. The hybridization activities analysis of MAG3 conjugated DNAs oligonucleotides was demonstrated by Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis. The whole body imaging was performed 22 h after administration of radiolabeled antisense and control sense DNAs at 1.0 microg DNAs (100 microCi) in 100 microl per animal. Then the animals were sacrificed at 24 h after administration and the organs and tissues were dissected and weighed; the radioactivity of each sample was detected by r-counter; injection dose percentage per gram tissue (%ID/g) was calculated and the biodistribution obtained. Both MAGS conjugated oligonucleotides DNAs and natural oligonucleotides DNAs have the same hybridization activities. The whole body images demonstrate improved targeting of antisense DNAs vs sense DNAs in the KB-G2 but not the KB-31 animals. Tumor levels in the KB-G2 animals were significantly higher for the antisense DNAs vs sense DNAs (14.7 vs 8.5% ID/g) while this difference (8.6 vs 4.3% ID/g) was insignificant in the KB-31 animals. Evidence for tumor targeting in vivo by an antisense in that mechanism has been obtained; statistically higher tumor accumulations of the 99mTc-antisense DNA were observed when compared to the control 99mTc-sense DNA. The successful localization of antisense DNA in tumor demonstrates that antisense tumor targeting in vivo is feasible even though improvement in tumor delivery and normal tissue clearance are needed for practical antisense imaging.

    Abstract Single-stranded oligomers are attractive candidates for the next generation of radiopharmaceuticals because of their ability to bind specifically to their complementary single-stranded oligomers by hybridization. However, native, phosphodiester DNAs have been universally judged to be unsuitable because of excessive in vivo nuclease hydrolysis. Chemical modifications to phosphodiester DNAs are therefore required to improve pharmacokinetic properties before the potential of oligomers for radiopharmaceutical use can be realized. Fortunately, hundreds of modified oligomers have been prepared and tested, mostly in vitro, in connection with antisense chemotherapy. This chapter provides an overview of those results which are relevant to the use of the more important of these modified oligomers as radiopharmaceuticals. In brief, the phosphorothioate DNAs are stable in vivo but may be unsuitable in all forms because of high protein binding affinities which delay clearance and increase background radioactivity levels. The methylphosphonate DNAs are also stable but do not show high protein binding affinities. Like the vast majority of modified oligomers, they have not as yet been investigated as radiopharmaceuticals. However, it may be the synthetic oligomers which are the most attractive at present. In particular, PNA has been radiolabeled with 99mTc and shown in mouse studies to be stable, to clear rapidly without excessive protein binding and to hybridize to its complement in vivo. In conclusion, several oligomers display pharmacokinetic properties in preliminary studies which suggest that they deserve further consideration for use as radiopharmaceuticals.

    Abstract Oligonucleotides labeled with gamma-emitting radionuclides are likely to find eventual applications as radiopharmaceuticals. Accordingly, methods of radiolabeling single-stranded DNA by chelation with the gamma-emitting radionuclide 111In and, more importantly, with 99mTc, have been developed. As an emerging technology, the results of only two pharmacokinetic investigations with 99mTc-labeled DNA have been reported thus far, both from this laboratory. This review focuses on the pharmacokinetic properties in mice of 99mTc when radiolabeled by one method (SHNH) to a 22-base native phosphodiester and phosphorothioate DNA. The labeled phosphodiester DNA displayed an affinity for proteins through its 99mTc-SHNH chelate. The affinity for proteins of the labeled phosphorothioate DNA was even greater and was attributed in this case to both the chelate and to the modified, and lipophilic, DNA backbone. As a consequence of this binding, and the recognized increased stability of the phosphorothioate DNA towards nucleases, probably explained the long-term retention of label in organs such as liver, spleen and kidney. In conclusion, under the conditions of these investigations, the labeled phosphodiester and phosphorothioate DNAs studied were both judged to be unsuitable for most applications as radiopharmaceuticals.
