Purpose The novel molecular imaging probe(99m)Tc-HYNIC-H10F was developed for patient screening and efficacy monitoring of trastuzumab therapy by SPECT imaging of HER2 expression in breast cancer. Methods Tc-99m-HYNIC-H10F was developed by labeling H10F peptide with(99m)Tc following an optimized protocol. Biodistribution and SPECT/CT were performed in mouse models bearing HER2-positive SK-BR3 and HER2-negative MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer xenografts, respectively. The treatment response to trastuzumab was monitored and quantified by SPECT/CT in two HER2-positive breast cancer models (SK-BR3 and MDA-MB-361). The preliminary clinical study was performed in two patients with breast cancer. Results SPECT/CT with(99m)Tc-HYNIC-H10F showed that the SK-BR3 tumors were clearly visualized, while the signals from MDA-MB-231 tumors were much lower. The tumor uptake of(99m)Tc-HYNIC-H10F could be blocked by excess unlabeled H10F peptide but not by excess trastuzumab. The growth of two HER2-positive tumors was prominently suppressed at day 11 post-treatment. However, SPECT/CT reflected much earlier therapy response at day 4 post-treatment. The HER2 expression in tumors of breast cancer patients could be detected by(99m)Tc-HYNIC-H10F SPECT/CT imaging. Conclusions Tc-99m-HYNIC-H10F specifically accumulates in HER2-positive tumors. Compared with trastuzumab,Tc-99m-HYNIC-H10F binds to a different domain of HER2 antigen, providing new opportunities to monitor HER2 expression levels before/during/after trastuzumab treatment for more effective personalized treatment.
