La tomographie par émission de positon (TEP) est une technique d’imagerie médicale permettant le diagnostic et le suivi de patient en oncologie. L’utilisation des anticorps et de leurs fragments pour le ciblage de biomarqueurs en TEP présente de nombreuses difficultés liées notamment à leur clairance lente (taille >100 kDa). Leur marquage, faisant intervenir principalement des réactions peu spécifiques, conduit à un mélange hétérogène de produits et parfois à l’inactivation des protéines.
Le développement d’un nouvel outil de suivi in vivo des patients à l’aide de petites protéines alternatives aux anticorps, les Nanofitines (NF), permet de s’affranchir des contraintes liées à la taille (NF ≈ 10 kDa). La mise en place d’une stratégie de marquage originale et site- spécifique d’une NF sans étape de couplage chimique a d’abord été envisagée dans cette étude.
L’approche est basée sur la capacité naturelle des phosphates à fixer des cations métalliques. L’insertion génétique d’une étiquette peptidique phosphorylable, in vivo ou in vitro, a permis la chélation d’un lanthanide en solution, le Tb(III), avec une affinité de l’ordre du μM. La seconde génération d’étiquettes peptidiques obtenues par mutagenèse a permis la chélation du Tb(III) avec une affinité d’environ 500 nM à pH7 et 50 nM à pH5,5, et une affinité pour le Ga(III) de l’ordre du μM à pH5,5. Parallèlement, la biodistribution et le ciblage spécifique in vivo d’une NF anti-EGFR radiomarquée à l’aide du 18F-FBEM ont été évalués dans un double modèle tumoral murin. Les images TEP obtenues avec un bon contraste ont permis de valider la preuve de concept quant à l’utilisation des NF en tant qu’outil en imagerie médicale.

Indeed, with RES-3 as acceptor substrate, Q345F is able to transfer a glucosyl moiety in position 4′-OH, what had been reported as impossible in the literature.

abstract = {Introduction
Nanofitins are low molecular weight, single chain and cysteine-free protein scaffolds able to selectively bind a defined biological target. They derive from Sac7d bacterial protein family and are highly stable over a wide range of pH (0–13) and temperature (Tm ~80°C). Their extreme stability, low cost of production and high tolerability for chemical coupling make Nanofitins a very interesting alternative to antibodies and their fragments. Here, a hexahistidine tagged model Nanofitin (H4) directed against hen egg white lysozyme was radiolabelled and injected in mice to provide a baseline biodistribution and pharmacokinetic profiles to support future Nanofitin development programs.
Method
A single cysteine residue has been genetically inserted in a model Nanofitin and its regioselective radiolabelling has been performed with 4-[18F]fluorobenzamido-N-ethylamino-maleimide ([18F]FBEM). The synthesis of [18F]FBEM has been completely implemented on a radiosynthesis unit (FastLab) including HPLC purification and formulation. Coupling with the [18F]FBEM has been achieved on a solid support (Ni magnetic beads) allowing rapid purification at room temperature without organic solvent. PET-MRI studies on C57BL/6 mice were conducted after injection of [18F]FBEM-Cys-H4 in order to access the biodistribution of this Nanofitin model.
Results Radiochemical yield (decay corrected) of 54±7% (n=4) was obtained after optimization for coupling the [18F]FBEM to Nanofitin. Pharmacokinetics results of [18F]FBEM-Cys-H4 revealed a fast clearance through the liver and the kidneys.
Conclusion
An efficient new method on Ni magnetic beads was developed to radiolabelled his-tagged biomolecules with [18F]FBEM. This procedure was applied on a Nanofitin model Cys-H4 and biodistribution kinetic studies were achieved to evaluate the potential use of Nanofitin for diagnostic imaging.
