abstract = {Amino acids such as [(11)C-methyl]l-methionine are
particularly useful in brain tumor diagnosis, but unspecific
uptake (e.g., in cerebral ischemia) has been reported.
O-(2-[(18)F]fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine ([(18)F]FET) shows a
clinical potential similar to that of l-methionine (MET) in
brain tumor diagnosis but is applicable on a wider clinical
scale. The aim of this study was to evaluate the uptake of
[(18)F]FET and [(3)H]MET in focal cortical ischemia in rats
by dual-tracer autoradiography.Focal cortical ischemia was
induced in 25 CDF rats using the photothrombosis (PT) model.
At different time points up to 6 weeks after the induction
of PT, [(18)F]FET and [(3)H]MET were injected intravenously.
Additionally, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) was performed in 10 animals. One hour after tracer
injection, brains were cut in coronal sections and evaluated
by dual-tracer autoradiography. Lesion-to-brain (L/B) ratios
were calculated by dividing the maximal uptake in the lesion
by the mean uptake in the brain. An L/B ratio of >2.0 was
considered indicative of pathological uptake. Histological
slices were stained by cresyl violet and supplemented by
immunostainings for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)
and CD68 in selected cases.A variably increased uptake of
both tracers was observed in the PT lesion and its
demarcation zone up to 7 days after PT for [(18)F]FET and up
to 6 weeks for [(3)H]MET. The cutoff level of 2.0 was
exceeded in 12/25 animals for [(18)F]FET and in 18/25
animals for [(3)H]MET. Focally increased tracer uptake
matched contrast enhancement in MRI in 3/10 cases for
[(18)F]FET and in 5/10 cases for [(3)H]MET.
Immunohistochemical staining in lesions with differential
uptake of [(18)F]FET and [(3)H]MET revealed that selective
uptake of [(18)F]FET was associated with GFAP-positive
astrogliosis while selective [(3)H]MET uptake correlated
with CD68-positive macrophage infiltration.[(18)F]FET, like
[(3)H]MET, may exhibit significant uptake in the periphery
of cortical infarctions, which has to be considered in the
differential diagnosis of unknown brain lesions. There are
discrepancies between [(18)F]FET and [(3)H]MET uptake in the
area of infarctions that appear to be caused by the
preferential uptake of [(18)F]FET in reactive astrocytes
versus the preferential uptake of [(3)H]MET in macrophages.},
