Octanoate is taken up by the brain and converted in astrocytes to glutamine through the TCA cycle after β-oxidation. Consequently, [111C]octanoate might serve as a useful positron emission tomography (PET) probe for studying cerebral oxidative metabolism and/or astroglial functions. The present study attempted to evaluate the utility of using [111C]octanoate as a PET tracer for imaging and evaluating the pathopysiology of ischemic stroke. We used a canine model of thromboembolic stroke. Five male beagle dogs were implanted with an indwelling catheter in the left internal carotid artery. A single autologous blood clot was injected into the left internal carotid artery through the catheter. The brain distribution of [111C]octanoate and cerebral blood flow (CBF) were determined 24 h after insult using a high resolution PET scanner. Post mortem brain regions unstained with 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) were defined as infarcts. In the region of an infarct, accumulation of [111C]octanoate decreased concurrently with CBF reduction. In contrast, normal accumulation of [111C]octanoate was observed in ischemic but vital regions, suggesting that an increased accumulation of [111C]octanoate relative to CBF takes place in these regions. In conclusion, [111C]octanoate accumulated in ischemic but vital retions, indicating that [111C]octanoate is potentially useful PET tracer for imaging and evaluating the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke.
八烷酸在β氧化后被脑部吸收,并在星形胶质细胞中通过三羧酸循环转化为谷氨酰胺。因此,[111C]八烷酸可能作为一种有用的正电子发射断层扫描(PET)探针,用于研究大脑的氧化代谢和/或星胶质功能。本研究旨在评估使用[111C]八烷酸作为PET示踪剂在成像和评估缺血性中风的病理生理学中的实用性。我们采用了一种犬模型的血栓栓塞中风。将五只雄性比格犬的左侧颈内动脉植入了一个留置导管。通过导管向左侧颈内动脉注入一个自体血栓。在受损后24小时,使用高分辨率PET扫描仪确定[111C]八烷酸的脑部分布和大脑血流(CBF)。用2, 3, 5-三苯基氮杂氛丙酮(TTC)染色后未着色的脑区被定义为梗死区。在梗死区,[111C]八烷酸的积累与CBF减少同时发生减少。相反,在缺血但仍然存活的区域观察到了正常的[111C]八烷酸积累,提示这些区域的[111C]八烷酸相对于CBF有增加的积累。总之,[111C]八烷酸在缺血但存活的区域中积累,这表明[111C]八烷酸可能是用于成像和评估缺血性中风病理生理学的有用PET示踪剂。
