PurposeAlthough a preparation method for F-18-labeled proteins that used a cell-free translation system and 4-[F-18]fluoro-L-proline instead of L-proline has been reported, its introduction depends on amino acid sequences of target proteins. The purpose of the study was to propose site-specific labeling method of F-18 by using cell-free translation systems supplemented with an engineered orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase derived from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (pCNF-RS)/suppressor tRNA (tRNA(CUA)(opt)) pair, O-2-[F-18]fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine ([F-18]FET), and template DNA inserted with an amber codon.Procedures[F-18]FET was prepared from the corresponding precursor and determined whether [F-18]FET could be incorporated into an affibody molecule for human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2; Z(HER2:342)) as the 21st amino acid used with the pCNF-RS-tRNA(CUA)(opt) pair and template DNA inserted with an amber codon in a cell-free translation system. Using SKOV-3 cells, we performed an in vitro binding assay of [F-18]FET-Z(HER2:342). Furthermore, in vivo positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in SKOV-3 xenograft-bearing mice was performed after the intravenous administration of [F-18]FET-Z(HER2:342).Results[F-18]FET was successfully incorporated into proteins by using commercially available cell-free protein synthesis reagents with a pCNF-RS-tRNA(CUA)(opt) pair and template DNA of the desired proteins inserted with an amber codon. The mean radiochemical yield (non-decay-corrected) of [F-18]FET-Z(HER2:342) was 6.54.1%. An in vitro cell binding assay revealed that SKOV-3 cells-bound [F-18]FET-Z(HER2:342) expressed HER2. The in vivo PET imaging in SKOV-3 xenograft-bearing mice revealed that [F-18]FET-Z(HER2:342) accumulated in SKOV-3 xenografts.Conclusion The method proposed in this study might be useful for preparing proteins with F-18 and molecular imaging in the preclinical development.
