BackgroundEribulin, an inhibitor of microtubule dynamics, shows antitumor potency against a variety of solid cancers through its antivascular activity and remodeling of tumor vasculature. F-18-Fluoromisonidazole (F-18-FMISO) is the most widely used PET probe for imaging tumor hypoxia. In this study, we utilized F-18-FMISO to clarify the effects of eribulin on the tumor hypoxic condition in comparison with histological findings.Material and methodsMice bearing a human cancer cell xenograft were intraperitoneally administered a single dose of eribulin (0.3 or 1.0mg/kg) or saline. Three days after the treatment, mice were injected with F-18-FMISO and pimonidazole (hypoxia marker for immunohistochemistry), and intertumoral F-18-FMISO accumulation levels and histological characteristics were determined. PET/CT was performed pre- and post-treatment with eribulin (0.3mg/kg, i.p.).ResultsThe F-18-FMISO accumulation levels and percent pimonidazole-positive hypoxic area were significantly lower, whereas the number of microvessels was higher in the tumors treated with eribulin. The PET/CT confirmed that F-18-FMISO distribution in the tumor was decreased after the eribulin treatment.ConclusionsUsing F-18-FMISO, we demonstrated the elimination of the tumor hypoxic condition by eribulin treatment, concomitantly with the increase in microvessel density. These findings indicate that PET imaging using F-18-FMISO may provide the possibility to detect the early treatment response in clinical patients undergoing eribulin treatment.
