PurposeRadioligand therapy (RLT) targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is emerging as an effective treatment option for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). An imaging-based method to quantify early treatment responses can help to understand and optimize RLT.MethodsWe developed a self-triggered probe2targeting the colocalization of PSMA and caspase-3 for fluorescence imaging of RLT-induced apoptosis.ResultsThe probe binds to PSMA potently with aKiof 4.12 nM, and its fluorescence can be effectively switched on by caspase-3 with aKmof 67.62 μM. Cellular and in vivo studies demonstrated its specificity for imaging radiation-induced caspase-3 upregulation in prostate cancer. To identify the detection limit of our method, we showed that probe 2 could achieve 1.79 times fluorescence enhancement in response to177Lu-RLT in a medium PSMA-expressing 22Rv1 xenograft model.ConclusionProbe2can potently bind to PSMA, and the fluorescence signal can be sensitively switched on by caspase-3 both in vitro and in vivo. This method may provide an effective tool to investigate and optimize PSMA-RLT.
