- This thesis is focused on pre-clinical evaluation of in vivo detection of HER2-expression in prostate cancer (PCa) patients and on the possibility of using targeted molecular imaging to personalize treatment of disseminated PCa. The work is divided into three distinct parts: (1) the establishment of a preclinical model for further studies, (2) imaging of HER2 in a murine model of PCa and (3) exploration of new treatment regimes against PCa. The characterized cell line panel reflect the heterogeneity of PCa in a way that one cell line never could, and is crucial for a better understanding of different developmental stages during the progression toward androgen independence. The possibility of molecular detection of HER2 in PCa was determined in vitro using 111In-labeled CHX-A’’DTPA-trastuzumab and anti-HER2 ABY-025 affibody molecules. A novel real-time assay for radiolabeled tracer kinetics on living cells was evaluated, in an attempt to bring early developmental work a step closer to the target environment (imaging in living systems). The second part demonstrated the possibility of imaging PCa xenografts, despite the low expression levels, and that ABY-025 is better adapted for this than the therapeutic anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab. The study also demonstrated that a residualizing radiometal-label further improves imaging contrast. A comparative study of a HER2-binding affibody molecule N-terminally conjugated to DOTA, NOTA or NODAGA highlighted the influence of the chelator on biodistribution and emphasized the importance of taking into account potential metastatic sited during tracer development. The final study used the previously established in vitro model to explore the hypothesis of using molecular imaging of HER2 to identify PCa patients that may benefit from complemental treatment.One conclusion from this thesis is that for imaging of PCa, molecular biological context and expression of the molecular target are equally important to consider. Another, that evaluation of response to treatment also need to consider the effect on the overall phenotypic profile, and consequently what this could mean for the efficacy of the treatment. The results of this thesis are in a larger perspective related to how the heterogeneity of tumors may affect the models used for diagnostics and monitoring of cancer in general.
