In Vivo Detection of Age- and Disease-Related Increases in Neuroinflammation by18F-GE180 TSPO MicroPET Imaging in Wild-Type and Alzheimer's Transgenic Mice
Open accessAbstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Neuroinflammation appears to play an important role in AD pathogenesis. Ligands of the 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO), a marker for activated microglia, have been used as positron emission tomography (PET) tracers to reflect neuroinflammation in humans and mouse models. Here, we used the novel TSPO-targeted PET tracer 18 F-GE180 (flutriciclamide) to investigate differences in neuroinflammation between young and old WT and APP/PS1dE9 transgenic (Tg) mice.In vivo PET scans revealed an overt age-dependent elevation in whole-brain uptake of 18 F-GE180 in both WT and Tg mice, and a significant increase in whole-brain uptake of 18 F-GE180 (peak-uptake and retention) in old Tg mice compared with young Tg mice and all WT mice. Similarly, the 18 F-GE180 binding potential in hippocampus was highest to lowest in old Tg > old WT > young Tg > young WT mice using MRI coregistration.Ex vivo PET and autoradiography analysis further confirmed our in vivo PET results: enhanced uptake and specific binding (SUV 75%) of 18 F-GE180 in hippocampus and cortex was highest in old Tg mice followed by old WT, young Tg, and finally young WT mice.18 F-GE180 specificity was confirmed by an in vivo cold tracer competition study. We also examined 18 F-GE180 metabolites in 4-month-old WT mice and found that, although total radioactivity declined over 2 h, of the remaining radioactivity, ∼90% was due to parent 18 F-GE180. In conclusion,18 F-GE180 PET scans may be useful for longitudinal monitoring of neuroinflammation during AD progression and treatment. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Microglial activation, a player in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, is thought to reflect neuroinflammation. Using in vivo microPET imaging with a novel TSPO radioligand,18 F-GE180, we detected significantly enhanced neuroinflammation during normal aging in WT mice and in response to AD-associated pathology in APP/PS1dE9 Tg mice, an AD mouse model. Increased uptake and specific binding of 18 F-GE180 in whole brain and hippocampus were confirmed by ex vivo PET and autoradiography. The binding specificity and stability of 18 F-GE180 was further confirmed by a cold tracer competition study and a metabolite study, respectively. Therefore,18 F-GE180 PET imaging may be useful for longitudinal monitoring of neuroinflammation during AD progression and treatment and may also be useful for other neurodegenerative diseases.

In models of Alzheimer's-like neurodegeneration, TSPO positive microglia, astrocytes and endothelium are all increased.
“Similarly, others have found that TSPO positive microglia, astrocytes and endothelium are all increased in models of Alzheimer’s-like neurodegeneration [48–51] and in postmortem human Alzheimer’s disease brains [27].”
From Pharmacological modulation of TSPO in microglia/macrophages and neurons in a chronic neurodegenerative model of prion disease (2023) · cites this paper as [49]
The colocalization results (page not available) show TSPO-positive microglia associated with amyloid plaques in APP/PS1dE9 mice. They report only rare overlap between TSPO and the astrocyte marker GFAP, and the passages examined do not establish an increase in TSPO-positive endothelium. The source therefore does not support the claim that all three cell types are increased. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
