Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) neutraliza-tion has become increasingly important in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). A series of monoclonal antibodies were approved in the clinic for anti-TNF-alpha therapy. However, a comprehensive assessment of TNF-alpha levels throughout the colon, which facilitates the diagnosis of IBD and predicts anti-TNF-alpha efficacy, remains challenging. Here, we radiolabeled infliximab with long-lived radionuclides 89Zr for immuno-positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of TNF-alpha in vivo. The increased TNF-alpha level was detected in the inflammatory colon of the dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis mice. The immuno-PET imaging of 89Zr-desferrioxamine-infliximab reveals a high uptake (7.1 & PLUSMN; 0.3%ID/g) in the inflammatory colon, which is significantly higher than in the healthy control and blocked groups. The colon-to-muscle ratio reached more than 10 and was maintained at a high level for 10 h after injection. The ex vivo biodistribution study also verified the superior uptake in the inflammatory colon. This study provides an in vivo immune-PET approach to molecular imaging of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha. It is promising in diagnosing and predicting efficacy in both IBD and other autoimmune diseases.
