Bone Marrow Cell Trafficking Analyzed by 89 Zr-oxine Positron Emission Tomography in a Murine Transplantation Model.
Clinical Cancer Research 2017 June 2
Purpose: The success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) depends on donor cell homing to the bone marrow. However, there is no reliable method of noninvasively monitoring the kinetics and distribution of transferred cells. Using zirconium-89 (89 Zr)-oxine cell labeling combined with PET imaging, we sought to visualize and quantify donor cell homing in a mouse bone marrow transplantation model. Experimental Design: The effect of 89 Zr-oxine labeling on bone marrow cell viability and differentiation was evaluated in vitro 89 Zr-labeled bone marrow cells (2 × 107 cells, 16.6 kBq/106 cells) were transferred intravenously, and serial microPET images were obtained ( n = 5). The effect of a CXCR4 inhibitor, plerixafor (5 mg/kg) and G-CSF (2.5 μg) on bone marrow homing and mobilization were examined ( n = 4). Engraftment of the transferred 89 Zr-labeled cells was evaluated ( n = 3). Results: 89 Zr-oxine-labeled bone marrow cells showed delayed proliferation, but differentiated normally. Transferred bone marrow cells rapidly migrated to the bone marrow, spleen, and liver ( n = 5). Approximately 36% of donor cells homed to the bone marrow within 4 hours, irrespective of prior bone marrow ablation. Inhibition of CXCR4 by plerixafor alone or with G-CSF significantly blocked the bone marrow homing ( P < 0.0001, vs. nontreated, at 2 hours), confirming a crucial role of the CXCR4-CXCL12 system. Mobilization of approximately 0.64% of pretransplanted bone marrow cells induced a 3.8-fold increase of circulating bone marrow cells. 89 Zr-labeled donor cells engrafted as well as nonlabeled cells. Conclusions: 89 Zr-oxine PET imaging reveals rapid bone marrow homing of transferred bone marrow cells without impairment of their stem cell functions, and thus, could provide useful information for optimizing HSCT.
