Annexin B1, a novel Ca2+-dependent PS-binding protein, has been shown to have a high affinity for PS exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells. To develop and bioevaluate an annexin B1 based PS-targeting radiotracer, annexin B1 was radiolabeled with99mTc using HYNIC as a bifunctional chelator. Binding assays with activated platelets and apoptotic SP2/0 cells were carried out to evaluate the in vitro biological activity of99mTc-HYNIC-annexin B1. Biodistribution of this radioligand was studied in normal mice. Dexamethasone-induced murine thymus apoptosis and fas-mediated murine liver apoptosis models were used to investigate the ability of radiolabeled annexin B1 to detect apoptosis in vivo. The labeling procedure yielded a compound with up to 98% radiochemical purity and good in vitro stability. The in vitro binding assays indicated that99mTc-HYNIC-annexin B1 retain its PS-binding activity. Biodistribution of the compound in mice showed that99mTc-HYNIC-annexin B1 is rapidly cleared from the blood and predominantly accumulates in the kidney. The marked increase in dexamethasone-treated murine thymus uptake and fas-mediated murine liver uptake correlated with histologic evidence of apoptosis. These data suggested that99mTc-HYNIC-annexin B1 retain its in vitro and in vivo biological activities. This radiotracer may therefore be useful as a novel radioligand for the noninvasive detecting of PS externalization associated with apoptosis.
