摘要

We are developing quantitative assays to repeatedly and noninvasively image expression of reporter genes in living animals, using Positron emission tomography (PET). We synthesized positron-emitting 8-[18F]fluorogan -ciclovir (FGCV) and demonstrated that this compound is a substrate for the herpes simplex virus 1 thymidine kinase enzyme (HSV1-TK). Using positron- emitting FGCV as a PET reporter probe, we imaged adellovirus-directed hepatic expression of the HSVl-tk reporter gene in living mice. There is a significant positive correlation between the percent injected dose of FGCV retained per gram of liver and the levels of hepatic HSV1-tk reporter gene expression ofr2 > 0.80). Over a similar range of HSV1-tk expression in vivo, the percent injected dose retained per gram of liver was 0-23 for ganciclovir and 0-3 for FGCV. Repeated, noninvasive, and quantitativc imaging of PET reporter gene expression should be a valuable tool for studies of human gene therapy, of organ/cell transplantation, and of both environmental and behavioral modulation of gene expression in transgenic mice.
