BACKGROUND: To facilitate onsite decision-making during endoscopy, both accurate detection and in vivo characterization of preneoplasia are prerequisites. However, no endoscopy technique is available that meets both demands satisfactorily. We evaluated endothelin-receptor A (ETAR)-guided fluorescence endoscopy (FE) in vivo and fluorescence reflectance imaging (FRI) ex vivo for detection and characterization of early dysplastic colitis-associated colonic lesions.
METHODS: Colorectal cancerogenesis was investigated in the inflammatory driven AOM-DSS model and spontaneous adenoma development in ApcMin mice. A Cy5.5-labeled nonpeptidic ETAR-specific imaging probe was injected intravenously to assess tumor development in vivo by white light endoscopy (WLE) and FE. Ex vivo tumors were evaluated by FRI, histological examination, and western blot analysis. In addition, tissue samples from patients with colitis-associated malignant and nonmalignant mucosal alterations were analyzed. Specificity experiments were performed using an unspecific Cy3.5-glycine tracer.
RESULTS: Overall, 62 adenomas were observed. FE was able to detect and quantify ETAR expression targeting the ETAR-specific photoprobe. A significantly higher fluorescent contrast was detected in colonic adenomas compared to adjacent nonmalignant mucosa by FE (64.3 ± 7.9 vs. 56.6. ± 7.0; P < 0.001). These results were confirmed by FRI examination, immunochemistry, and western blot analysis. Additionally, ETAR expression in samples from human patients with colitis-associated cancer was highly elevated compared to nonmalignant alterations. Specificity experiments indicated a high binding-specificity of the applied ETAR photoprobe (1.4 ± 0.3 vs. 2.5 ± 0.7; P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: We introduced ETAR guided FE in mice for successful in vivo detection and characterization of colorectal neoplasia on a molecular level.
