Tumor imaging using radiolabelled matrix metalloproteinase-activated anthrax proteins

Abstract:

Purpose: Increased activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is associated with worse prognosis in different cancer types. The protective antigen (PA-WT) of the binary anthrax lethal toxin was modified to form a pore in cell membranes only when cleaved by MMPs (PA-L1). Anthrax lethal factor (LF) is then able to translocate through these pores. Here, we used an 111In-radiolabelled form of LF with the PA/LF system for non-invasive in vivo imaging of MMP activit...
