[C-11]Choline is a potential tracer to detect tumors, especially brain and prostate cancers. The metabolism of [C-11]choline defines the accumulation pattern of [C-11]choline in tumors depicted by positron emission tomography. Choline is a precursor of phosphatidylcholine that is a major constituent of membrane lipids. Membrane lipid synthesis as well as DNA synthesis is activated during cell proliferation. We investigated the relation between [C-14]choline metabolism and proliferative activity using 10 tumor cell lines and fibroblasts. [C-14] Choline uptake was higher in tumor cells than in fibroblasts and was correlated with the proliferative activity, though the sensitivity of [C-14] choline uptake to proliferative activity was less than that of [1-C-14]acetate. [C-14]Phosphocholine produced from [C-14]choline by phosphorylation mainly contributed to this accumulation. [C-11]Choline can be used for the evaluation of tumor proliferation through estimating choline kinase activity. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
