  1. Concurrence between position of tumor estimated from the sterotactic platform and high trityl amplitude tumor measurements

  2. Interesting common (though not universal) concurrence • of tumor and high EPR OX063 peak height from • correlation with MRI Using Image Registration: • Registered T2 or T2 weighted MRI • defines tumor voxels in EPROI MRI,

  3. Therapeutic Puzzle • Oxygen known to potentiate radiation therapy • TNF known to produce vascular destruction • One would think that combining TNF with radiation would be a prescription for failure • BUT • Using a genetically engineered adenvirus to locally produce TNF in response to radiation gives the following

  4. Induction of TNFa expression IR-mediated cell killing

  5. Effect of Gene Therapy + IR

  6. Probe the physiology with DCE and EPRI oxygen images • 9mm PC3 human prostate tumors in nude mice • Pre-treatment T2 and DCE MRI plus EPRI Oxygen images • 10 Gy Radiation plus AdEGRTNFa or sham • 3 days post Rx T2 and DCE MRI plus EPRI Oxygen images

  7. Image pO2 Statistics • Control animals: Day 0 Day 3 • Mean pO2 55.1+/- 4 52.0+/-4.4 • 10 torr hypoxic Fx 5.8+/-2.0 5.0+/-3.8 • Treated animals • Mean pO2 53.0+/-1.3 72.7+/-3.5 • 10 torr hypoxic Fx 1.3 +/-0.3 0.2+/-0.2 • Significance of difference between Control and Treated on different days: • Day 0 pO2 p=0.8 • Day 3 pO2 p=0.01 Students 2 tailed t test

  8. Mouse 69: control, day 0 (top), day 3(bottom)

  9. Mouse 73, treated: day 0 (top), day 3 (bottom)

  10. How can this be? • Antivascular therapy is increasing the oxygenation: How could this be • What if the antivascular therapy specifically targeted chaotic tumor vessels and had less effect on the well functioning ones • Ad EGR TNFa is locally produced. Tumor vessels can’t get rid of it but fully functional vessels can. • It’s a large molecule: on form 51KD, monomer 17KD • The TNF selectively eliminates chaotic tumor vessels and allows better oxygenation from the functioning vessels.

  11. EPRI Oxygen Images PredictRadiation Curability of Tumors • MDAnderson FSa Fibrosarcomas in C3H mice • Radiation given to tumors of air breathing animals + loosely and tightly clamped tumors • Doses given near the TCD50 • Images obtained prior to therapy in same state • Tumor voxels determined with either co-registered MRI or stereotactic surface “touch”

  12. EPRI Hypoxic Fraction Predicts Radiation Curability of Tumors Dose-Hypoxia Boundary HF10: Fraction of tumor voxels w pO2<10 torr XRT: p=0.01 EPRI oxygen: p=0.023

  13. EPRI Hypoxic Fraction Predicts Radiation Curability of Tumors • Bivariate logit model of response • Dose correlates with cure p=0.01 • Fraction of voxels with pO2<10 torrcorrelates with cure p=0.023 • Slope of the boundary curve is approximately 1 Gy/%voxels less than 10 torr • Minimum cure dose (abscissa intercept): 25 Gy

  14. Pulse: Another Approach to EPRI • As indicated in the first lecture, information about the reality term, the G or friction term which is a determinant of linewidth equally affects the Rate of decay of the transverse magnetization, • R2=1/T2. R2=dBg where g is the electron gyromagnetic ratio = 17.06 rad/sec/gauss

  15. Deadtime Limits Pulse Detection • Magnetization created with a short high power pulse • To rotate magnetization from the direction of spin sample magnetization preparation (z axis) to the transverse axis conventionally taken as the x axis, RF B1 in the y direction to precess <S> by p/2 • Bloch’s equation with T1, T2≈ ∞, d<S>/dt=gB1 or gB1Dt=p/2 • Broad band pulse covers frequency encoded sample (Dn large) => Dt small =>B1 large => high power pulse • It takes time to dissipate the magnetization creation power to a low level for signal detection

  16. Trityl Spin Probes Defeat Dead Time Limits for Oxygen Imaging • Pulse Problem: • Magnetization may relax before the excitation energy dissipates enough for detection • Solution: Spin probe with small relaxation rate (R) or long relaxation time (T=1/R) • Trityls have long relaxation times ~ 5ms • Dead time minimum ~ 0.5 ms so this works

  17. Electron Spin Echo (ESE) Imaging • Diminishes the dependence of image noise on dead time • Pulse sequence π/2-τ-πspin echo imaging • t is the time between the p/2 and p pulses • Echo pulse is delayed t relative to the p pulse • Long relaxation times ~ 5 ms for trityls

  18. Electron Spin Echo Experiment Measure magnetization voltage near here Magnetization envelope decay time constant=R2 = 1/T2

  24. Real Test of EPR Oxygen Imaging • Treat with radiation to a single dose – TCD50 • Model 450 ml FSafibrosarcomas, in legs of C3H mice • Tumor oxygenation status with ESE EPROI Do EPROI voxels with low pO2 predict radiation failure or success? • HF10- Fraction of voxels pO2 <10 torr

  25. Typical ESEOI slices from failed and controlled tumors

  26. HF10: Fraction Tumor Voxels pO2< 10 torr

  27. Tumor Control vs HF10 • HF10 < 9% Tumor control 18/20 or 90% • HF10 > 9% Tumor control 7/19 or 37% • Failed

  28. 39 Animals/tumors: pO2 statistics of failures vs controlled tumors

  29. Freedom from Failure HF10 > or < 9% Wilcoxon Analysis p=0.0002

  30. SBRT and IGRT enable safe delivery of high radiation doses/fraction (1-3Fx18-24Gy) to tumors residing in soft tissues, bone, lung and the liver • Single dose (≥24Gy) results in ~90% long-term local control of oligometastatic (M1) cancer regardless of the histological phenotype or the target organ of the metastatic lesion • Single large doses (>24 Gy) results in 80% disease free survival at 18 months for Stages I and II medically inoperable lung cancer, comparable with surgery.

  31. MCA/129 Fibrosarcoma; 4hr after 15 Gy Human Ovarian Carcinoma Control 20 20 50% 0.35% 15 Apoptotic Tumor cells Apoptotic endothelial cells 15 10 10 17% 0.2% 5 5 17Gy 0 -Ceramide -ASMase 0 0 4 6 24 10 Time after 15 Gy (hours) Control 15 Gy 30 sec The earliest visible response of tumors to high-dose radiation is an acute wave of endothelial apoptosis • Initiated by a plasma membrane, not DNA damage, response • Involves ASMase activation and ceramide generation • Inhibited in apoptosis-deficient cells (asmase-/-, Bax-/-) • Does not effect DNA repair-deficient phenotypes (SCID, atm-/-)

  32. The Apoptosis Inhibits Repair of Radiation Damage • Oxygen necessary for radiation damage repair • The vascular apoptosis creates rapid hypoxia • This sensitizes tumors to large doses of radiation • THE EFFECT HAS ONLY BEEN SEEN IN HISTOLOGIC SECTIONS, NOT IN VIVO

  33. IS THERE A RAPID HYPOXIC RESPONSE IN VIVO? • Electron Spin Echo allows oxygen images in 10 minutes • Oxygen images can be obtained before a 20 Gy radiation dose • Compared with the oxygenation after the dose • Voxels from the tumor provide a large statistical sample. • Large variability of pO2 voxels in the tumor

  35. Results: Δtin 50 min (~30 min) post 20 Gy +/+: Significantly  pO2   repair  ↑ sensitivity

  49. Conclusions • CW 4D Images of phantoms can be obtained with ~1 mm spatial resolution and ~1.5mG spectral resolution or ~ 3 torr in ~ 30 minutes • Quantitative oxygen images spatially correspond to Oxyliteoxymeter measurements. • EPROI shows that anti-vascular agents attack ineffective tumor vessels -> improve oxygen delivery • EPR Oxygen images + dose predict tumor cure • T1based IRESE recover most of the oxygen accuracy at a small expense (30%) in SNR and give a 1 torr resolution with a 1 mm pO2resolution • EPRI may enable radiation dose painting • Larger tumor capability promises human imaging
