Purpose:We describe a noninvasive PET imaging method that monitors early therapeutic efficacy of BAY 87-2243, a novel small-molecule inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I as a function of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α) activity.Experimental Design:Four PET tracers [18F-FDG,18F-Fpp(RGD)2,18F-FLT, and18F-FAZA] were assessed for uptake into tumor xenografts of drug-responsive (H460, PC3) or drug-resistant (786-0) carcinoma cells. Mice were treated with BAY 87-2243 or vehicle. At each point, RNA from treated and vehicle H460 tumor xenografts (n= 3 each) was isolated and analyzed for target genes.Results:Significant changes in uptake of18F-FAZA,18F-FLT, and18F-Fpp(RGD)2(P< 0.01) occurred with BAY 87-2243 treatment with18F-FAZA being the most prominent.18F-FDG uptake was unaffected.18F-FAZA tumor uptake declined by 55% to 70% (1.21% ± 0.10%ID/g to 0.35 ± 0.1%ID/g;n= 6, vehicle vs. treatment) in both H460 (P< 0.001) and PC3 (P< 0.05) xenografts 1 to 3 days after drug administration.18F-FAZA uptake in 786-0 xenografts was unaffected. Decline occurred before significant differences in tumor volume, thus suggesting18F-FAZA decrease reflected early changes in tumor metabolism. BAY 87-2243 reduced expression of hypoxia-regulated genesCA IX,ANGPTL4, andEGLN-3by 99%, 93%, and 83%, respectively (P< 0.001 for all), which corresponds with reduced18F-FAZA uptake upon drug treatment. Heterogeneous expression of genes associated with glucose metabolism, vessel density, and proliferation was observed.Conclusions:Our studies suggest suitability of18F-FAZA-PET as an early pharmacodynamic monitor on the efficacy of anticancer agents that target the mitochondrial complex I and intratumor oxygen levels (e.g., BAY 87-2243).Clin Cancer Res; 21(2); 335–46. ©2014 AACR.
