  1. Preload and afterload with L-amino acids to enhance the differentiation between tumor and inflammation by labelled amino acids PET imaging Laïque Salma [1], Egrise Dominique [1], Lemaire Christian [2], Monclus Michel [1], Schmitz Frédéric [1], Luxen André [2], Goldman Serge [1] [1] PET/Biomedical Cyclotron Unit, ULB, Hopital Erasme, Route de Lennik 808, 1070 Anderlecht, BELGIUM [2] Cyclotron Research Center, ULG, B 30 Building, 4000 Liège, BELGIUM Aim :Among labelled amino-acids, FET and FT are transported across the cellular membrane by the exchanger l–system. In vitro utilisation of FET and FT, after preload or prior to postload of non-radioactive L-amino-acids, was evaluated to measure the effects of intra- and extra cellular amino-acid content on the differential tracers uptake in tumor (ROS 17/2.8) and inflammatory cells (human leukocytes). FET : O-(2-[18F] fluoroethyl)-L-Tyrosine : not incorporated into proteins FT : 2-[18F] fluoro-L-Tyrosine : incorporated into proteins Figure 2 : FDG-PET revealing, an inflammatory lesion in the mediastinum, in a patient suffering from sarcoidosis Figure 1 : principle of PET Scan imaging FT Chemistry (2) : FET Chemistry (1): FET Biology : FT Biology : L-tyrosine preload prior to FT administration on ROS 17/2.8 : figure 5 L-tyrosine preload prior to FET administration on ROS 17/2.8 and leukocytes : figure 3 Figure 5 : preload effect = ratio between the tracer uptake into preloaded cells and control cells Figure 3 : preload effect = ratio between the tracer uptake into preloaded cells and control cells L-methionine preload prior to FET administration on ROS 17/2.8 and leukocytes : figure 4 Conclusions : L–tyrosine preload, prior to FET administration, can help in the differentiation between tumours and inflammatory lesions : see figure 6 References : L-phenylalanine load after FET administration on ROS 17/2.8 and leukocytes : table 1 Figure 4 : preload effect = ratio between the tracer uptake into preloaded cells and control cells Figure 6 : tracer uptake = % of loaded activity (1) Wester HJ, Herz M, Weber W, Heiss P, Senekowitsh-Schmidtke R, Schwaiger M, Stöcklin G.
