Abstract:

To investigate the potential of 64Cu labeled DOTA-[Tyr3]-octreotate(DOTA-TATE) molecular probe in detecting somatostatin receptor(SSTR) positive tumors. The somatostatin analogue DOTA-TATE was radiolabeled with 64Cu to prepare 64Cu-DOTA-TATE. The stability of the probe was measured in 5%(volume ratio) HSA and 0.9%(volume ratio) saline solutions. After purification, 18.5 MBq of 64Cu-DOTA-TATE was injected intravenously to nude mice bearing human pancreatic cancer via tail vein, micro-PET images were taken after radiotracer injection 1 and 10 h. After purification with 80%(volume ratio) ethanol, the radiochemical purity of 64Cu-DOTA-TATE was over 99%, and could keep stable for 40 h in 5% HSA and 0.9% saline solutions. As shown in micro-PET imaging, tumor uptake was visualized after post injection 1 h, with the uptake increased after 10 h. 64Cu-DOTA-TATE may be useful for imaging somatostatin receptor-positive tumors.
