68Ga-NODAGA-Indole: An Allysine-Reactive Positron Emission Tomography Probe for Molecular Imaging of Pulmonary Fibrogenesis
Oxidized collagen, wherein lysine residues are converted to the aldehyde allysine, is a universal feature of fibrogenesis, i.e. actively progressive fibrosis. Here we report the small molecule, allysine-binding positron emission tomography probe, 68Ga-NODAGA-indole, that can noninvasively detect and...

Summary: | Oxidized collagen, wherein lysine residues are converted to the aldehyde allysine, is a universal feature of fibrogenesis, i.e. actively progressive fibrosis. Here we report the small molecule, allysine-binding positron emission tomography probe, 68Ga-NODAGA-indole, that can noninvasively detect and quantify pulmonary fibrogenesis. We demonstrate that the uptake of 68Ga-NODAGA-indole in actively fibrotic lungs is 7-fold higher than in control groups and that uptake is linearly correlated (R 2 = 0.98) with the concentration of lung allysine. |
