Abstract:
Objective:To explore the impact of phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN)/tumor protein 53 (TP53) expression on the 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 and 18F-FDG molecular imaging phenotypes in primary prostate cancer. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 75 prostate cancer patients (age (67.9±6.3) years) who received both 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging on initial diagnosis and subsequent radical prostatectomy at Renji Hospital, Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, between Auguest 2018 and July 2022. The correlation between PTEN and TP53 expression in prostate cancer and molecular imaging phenotype was analyzed by χ2 test, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test and Bonferroni method based on the uptake of imaging agents in primary lesions and the results of immunohistochemical analysis of surgical specimens. Results:In prostate cancer tissues with PTEN expression loss, the positive rates of 18F-FDG uptake and 68Ga-PSMA uptake were 14/14 and 11/14, with the SUV max of 7.70(6.15, 11.05) and 15.55(6.75, 23.49) respectively. In prostate cancer tissues with TP53 expression loss, the positive rates of 18F-FDG uptake and 68Ga-PSMA uptake were 10/10 and 6/10, with the SUV max of 7.70(6.95, 8.05) and 9.50(5.38, 19.89) respectively. In prostate cancer tissues with different expression patterns of PTEN and TP53, there were significant differences in the positive rates of 18F-FDG uptake ( χ2=20.45, P< 0.001), 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake ( χ2=14.97, P=0.002), and the SUV max of 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake ( H=9.62, P=0.022). Additionally, patients with concurrent loss of PTEN and TP53 expression in the primary tumor had significantly lower SUV max of 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake compared to those with expression of both PTEN and TP53 (5.70(4.40, 11.70) vs 20.95(13.73, 37.58); P=0.003 (Bonferroni method corrected)). Conclusion:PTEN/TP53 expression is associated with the 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 18F-FDG molecular imaging phenotype in primary prostate cancer.
