oxi-4503 and Neoplasm-Metastasis

We aimed to test the ability of texture analysis to differentiate the spatial heterogeneity of (125)I-A5B7 anti-carcinoembryonic antigen antibody distribution by nano-single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in well-differentiated (SW1222) and poorly differentiated (LS174T) hepatic metastatic colorectal cancer models before and after combretastatin A1 di-phosphate anti-vascular therapy.. Nano-SPECT imaging was performed following tail vein injection of 20 MBq (125)I-A5B7 in control CD1 nude mice (LS174T, n=3 and SW1222, n=4), and CA1P-treated mice (LS174T, n=3; SW1222, n=4) with liver metastases. Grey-level co-occurrence matrix textural features (uniformity, homogeneity, entropy and contrast) were calculated in up to three liver metastases in 14 mice from control and treatment groups.. Before treatment, the LS174T metastases (n=7) were more heterogeneous than SW1222 metastases (n=12) (uniformity, P=0.028; homogeneity, P=0.01; contrast, P=0.045). Following CA1P, LS174T metastases (n=8) showed less heterogeneity than untreated LS174T controls (uniformity, P=0.021; entropy, P=0.006). Combretastatin A1 di-phosphate-treated SW1222 metastases (n=11) showed no difference in texture features compared with controls (all P>0.05).. Supporting the potential for novel imaging biomarkers, texture analysis of (125)I-A5B7 SPECT shows differences in spatial heterogeneity of antibody distribution between well-differentiated (SW1222) and poorly differentiated (LS174T) liver metastases before treatment. Following anti-vascular treatment, LS174T metastases, but not SW1222 metastases, were less heterogeneous.
