Uptake of bone-seekers is solely associated with mineralisation! A study with 99mTc-MDP, 153Sm-EDTMP and 18F-fluoride on osteoblasts

Abstract: This study provides evidence that binding of the evaluated radiotracers is not associated with osteoblast numbers but only with the concentration of bone-forming minerals. The presented correlations substantiate our recently presented pre-vivo model for the evaluation of bone-seekers: mechanisms associated with the uptake of bone-seekers are irreversible and mineral-associated processes.

“…In contrast, most guidelines recognize that patients with bone metastases should forgo local therapy to avoid unnecessary side effects and be treated with systemic therapy instead (5). Early metastases to bone may be missed with bone scanning because this technique relies on osteoblastic activity (mineralization) rather than detection of actual tumor cells (6). A true and sensitive measure of the presence of disease in bone should lead to earlier detection of metastatic spread and a more robust measure of changes in tumor burden that could guide patient management.…”

“…18 F-fluoride ion, a positron-emitting isotope, has been shown to deposit preferentially at the surface of bone, where the greatest activity of remodeling and turnover are seen [32,33]. 18 F-fluoride ion exchanges with hydroxyl groups on hydroxyapatite to form fluoroapatite, which subsequently incorporates into the formation of bone matrix [33,34]. The uptake of 18 Ffluoride tracer correlates with skeletal blood flow and has been shown to exhibit superior pharmacokinetic properties compared to 99m Tc-labeled biphosphonates [35][36][37][38][39][40].…”
