Abstract:
PURPOSE:The mTOR kinase inhibitor AZD8055 inhibits both mTORC1 and mTORC2 leading to disruption of glucose metabolism and proliferation pathways. This study assessed the impact of single and multiple doses of AZD8055 on the uptake of the glucose metabolism marker 2-deoxy-2-[(18) F]fluoro-D-glucose ([(18) F]FDG) and the proliferation marker 3'-deoxy-3'-[(18) F]fluorothymidine ([(18) F]FLT) in U87-MG glioma xenografts. PROCEDURES:Mice bearing U87-MG tumours received either vehicle or AZD8055 (20 mg/kg) once daily p.o. Mice were imaged with either [(18) F]FDG or [(18) F]FLT PET to assess treatment response. Comparisons were made between in vivo imaging and ex vivo histopathology data. RESULTS:Tumour uptake of [(18) F]FDG was reduced by 33 % 1 h after a single dose of AZD8055 and by 49 % following 4 days of dosing. These changes coincided with suppression of the mTOR pathway biomarkers pS6 and pAKT. In contrast, the effect of AZD8055 on [(18) F]FLT uptake was inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS:The very rapid change in [(18) F]FDG uptake following acute AZD8055 treatment suggests that this could be used as an early mechanistic biomarker of metabolic changes resulting from mTOR inhibition. The utility of [(18) F]FLT for measuring the anti-proliferative effect of AZD8055 remains unclear.
