Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACI) are emerging as growth inhibitory compounds that modulate gene expression and inhibit tumor cell proliferation. We assessed whether 3'-deoxy-3'-[F-18]fluorothymidine-positron emission tomography ([F-18]FLT-PET) could he used to noninvasively measure the biological activity of a novel HDACI LAQ824 in vivo. We initially showed that thymidine kinase 1 (TK1; EC2.7.1.21), the enzyme responsible for [F-18]FLT retention in cells, was regulated by LAQ824 in a drug concentration-dependent manner in vitro. In HCT116 colon carcinoma xenograft-bearing mice, LAQ824 significantly decreased tumor [F-18]FLT uptake in a dose-dependent manner. At day 4 of treatment, [F-18]FLT tumor-to-heart ratios at 60 minutes (NUV60) were 2.16 +/- 0.15, 1.86 +/- 0.13, and 1.45 +/- 0.20 in vehicle, and 5 and 25 mg/kg LAQ824 treatment groups, respectively (P 25 mg/kg LAQ824, providing a rationale for the use of [F-18]FLT-PET in this setting. We also observed increases in Rb hypophosphorylation and p21 levels, factors that could have contributed to the alteration in TK1 transcription in vivo. In conclusion, we have shown the utility of [F-18]FLT-PET for monitoring the biological activity of the HDACI, LAQ824. Drug-induced changes in tumor [F-18]FLT uptake were due, at least in part, to reductions in TK1 transcription and translation.
