Objeetive To explore the value of antisense imaging of 99Tcm-labeled ASON targeting mouse double minute 2(MDM2) mRNA for the diagnosis of human prostate cancer.Methods The ASON targeting MDM2 mRNA and the mismatched oligonucleotide (ASONM) were synthesized and radiolabeled with 99Tcm using the bifunctional chelator HYNIC.The labeling efficiency and radiochemical purity were investigated.Animal models of nude mice bearing human prostate cancer LNCaP were established and divided into 3 groups with 10 mice in each group.99Tcm-HYNIC-ASON,99Tcm-HYNIC-ASONM (study groups) and 99TcmO4-(control group) were injected at the dose of 7.4 MBq through the tail vein,respectively.Tumor imaging was acquired with SPECT and the tumor-to-muscle (T/M) ratio was measured.The data was compared by one-way analysis of variance.Results The labeling efficiencies of ASON and ASONM were (65.15± 2.05) ％ and (64.93±2.18) ％,respectively.Their radiochemical purity was greater than 90％.At 1,4 and 10 h post injection,the T/M ratios of 99Tcm-HYNIC-ASON group were 3.217±0.125,3.749± 0.201 and 4.028±0.186,and those of 99Tcm-HYNIC-ASONM group were 1.579t0.128,1.715±1.140 and 1.683±0.139,and control group 2.146±0.132,1.847±0.124,1.528±0.152,respectively.The T/M ratios in control group and 99Tcm-HYNIC-ASONM group were significantly lower than those in 99Tcm-HYNICASON group at 1,4 and 10 h,respectively (F=213.37-235.41,t=3.527-4.738; all P＜0.01).The T/M ratios of 99Tcm-HYNIC-ASONM group and control group were not significantly different at 1,4 and 10 h (t=2.154,2.287 and 2.236,all P＞0.05).Conclusion The antisense probe of MDM2 can accumulate specifically in prostate cancer tissue in animal models,which might be useful as a non-invasive genetic tool for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Objective: To explore the clinical and laboratory characteristics and therapeutic effect of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(2;17;15). Methods: The G-banding technique was used for karyotypic analysis in a female patient with APL who was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in December 2018. PML-RARα fusion gene was quickly detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detection 43 kinds of fusion gene, and the gene mutations were detected by next generation sequencing (NGS). The induction therapy was given with oral retinoic acid+ intravenous infusion of arsenic trioxide, followed by 3 courses of retinoic acid+ arsenic trioxide consolidation therapy. Results: The G-banding karyotypic analysis demonstrated 46, XX, t(2;17;15) (q31;q21;q22)[8]/46, XX[2]. FISH results indicated that 62.0% of analyzed cells were positive for the PML-RARα fusion gene. RT-PCR further revealed the positive PML-RARα fusion gene transcript. NGS detection of gene mutations showed no obvious abnormalities. After 39 days of induction therapy with retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide, the patient achieved complete remission (CR). The karyotype was 46XX[20], and PML-RARα/ABL was 0/100. Then, the patient was treated with 3 courses of consolidation therapy, and the results remained in CR. Conclusions APL with complex t(2;17;15) (q31;q21;q22) is rare, and the morphological characteristics are not typical, but it is still associated with the formation of PML-RARα fusion gene. Retinoic acid+ arsenic trioxide has a good therapeutic effect, and the long-term efficacy still needs follow-up.
