This study optimized the radiolabeling of cisplatin with technetium-99m (99mTc) and evaluated its biodistribution in an experimental model of lung carcinogenesis. The percentage labeling of cisplatin with 99mTc was assessed using an ascending chromatographic technique. For biodistribution studies, male rats were divided into 2 groups. The control group received normal saline intratracheally, whereas the treatment group received intratracheal administration of carcinogen 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight. The resulting radiopharmaceutical (99mTc-cisplatin) showed 98% labeling efficiency and was found to be stable for up to 6 hours both in both serum and saline under normal conditions. The blood clearance of the 99mTc-cisplatin followed a biphasic release pattern whereby a fast-release phase was observed at 35 seconds and a slow-release phase was observed after 30 minutes of drug administration. The biodistribution studies of control and treated animals revealed high uptake of 99mTc-cisplatin by the liver and slow excretion via the kidneys. However, a time-dependent increase in the lung-to-muscle specific uptake ratio was observed in DMBA-treated rats. The study concluded that 99mTc-cisplatin possesses selectivity toward cancerous lung tissue and can be explored further for its diagnostic potential in the detection of lung cancer and the evaluation of treatment response.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of baseline PD-L1 targeted peptide Ga-NOTA-WL12 PET/CT in neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy of resectable NSCLC.
Methods: Patients with resectable NSCLC (n = 20) enrolled in this prospective study received baseline paired Ga-NOTA-WL12 PET/CT and F-FDG PET/CT. After 2-4 cycles of toripalimab plus nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin, surgery was performed if R0 resection was available.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy based on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) has shown significant development in treating several carcinomas, but not all patients respond to this therapy due to the heterogeneity of PD-L1 expression. The sensitive and accurate quantitative analysis of in vivo PD-L1 expression is critical for treatment decisions and monitoring therapy. In the present study, an aptamer-based dual-modality positron emission tomography/near-infrared fluorescence (PET/NIRF) imaging probe was developed, and its specificity and sensitivity to PD-L1 were assessed in vitro and in vivo.

The long-standing interest in thiosemicarbazones (TSCs) has been largely driven by their potential toward theranostic applications including cellular imaging assays and multimodality imaging. We focus herein on the results of our new investigations into: (a) the structural chemistry of a family of rigid mono(thiosemicarbazone) ligands characterized by extended and aromatic backbones and (b) the formation of their corresponding thiosemicarbazonato Zn(II) and Cu(II) metal complexes. The synthesis of new ligands and their Zn(II) complexes was performed using a rapid, efficient and straightforward microwave-assisted method which superseded their preparation by conventional heating.

Auger electrons can induce nanoscale physiochemical damage to DNA. The present study reports a sequential and systematic evaluation of the relationship between DNA damage such as double-strand breaks (DSBs) and the cell cycle for the Auger electron-emitting agent radiolabeled cisplatin with DNA binding ability. For dynamic imaging analysis, we used U2OS-derived cancer cells expressing two fluorescent fusion proteins: tumor-suppressor p53 binding protein 1 with a green fluorescent protein (53BP1-EGFP) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen with a red fluorescent protein (PCNA-DsRed).

Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP), previously called cicatricial pemphigoid, is a rare subepidermal immunobullous disorder that primarily affects the mucous membranes (1,2). MMP is divided into two major subtypes, anti-BP180-type MMP and anti-laminin-332 (previously called laminin 5 or epiligrin) MMP. Anti-laminin-332 MMP is known to be associated with malignant tumors (3), which may cause overexpression of autoantibodies and induce autoimmunity to laminin-332 (4).
