A method of detecting an atherosclerotic plaque vulnerable to rupture in a subject comprises providing to the subject a labelled necrostatin or a derivative thereof, and visualizing the label, wherein a localization of the label in a plaque indicates the plaque is vulnerable to rupture. A method of detecting and treating an atherosclerotic plaque vulnerable to rupture comprises providing to the subject a labelled necrostatin or a derivative thereof, visualizing the label, wherein a localization of the label in a plaque indicates the plaque is vulnerable to rupture; and providing a necroptosis inhibitor or derivative thereof to the subject when the visualizing indicates that the plaque is vulnerable to rupture. The necroptosis inhibitor may comprise a necrostatin, such as Nec-1. The label may be a radiolabel such as
123
I. By visualizing plaques vulnerable to rupture, atherosclerotic plaques may be identified and treated in advance of rupture.
在一个主体中检测易破裂的动脉粥样硬化斑块的方法包括向主体提供标记的坏死激酶抑制剂或其衍生物,并可视化标记,标记在斑块中的定位表明该斑块易破裂。检测和治疗易破裂的动脉粥样硬化斑块的方法包括向主体提供标记的坏死激酶抑制剂或其衍生物,可视化标记,标记在斑块中的定位表明该斑块易破裂;当可视化表明斑块易破裂时,向主体提供坏死激酶抑制剂或其衍生物。坏死激酶抑制剂可能包括坏死激酶,如Nec-1。标记可以是放射性标记,如123I。通过可视化易破裂的斑块,可以提前识别和治疗动脉粥样硬化斑块。
