Abstract

Optical fluorescence-guided imaging is increasingly used to guide surgery and endoscopic procedures. Sprayable enzyme-activatable probes are particularly useful because of high target-to-background ratios that increase sensitivity for tiny cancer foci. However, green fluorescent activatable probes suffers from interference from autofluorescence found in biological tissue. Dynamic imaging followed by the kinetic analysis could be detected local enzyme activity and used to differentiate specific fluorescence arising from an activated probe in a tumor from autofluorescence in background tissues especially when low concentrations of the dye are applied to detect tiny cancer foci. Serial fluorescence imaging was performed using various concentrations of γ-glutamyl hydroxymethyl rhodamine green (gGlu-HMRG) which was sprayed on the peritoneal surface with tiny implants of SHIN3-dsRed ovarian cancer tumors. Temporal differences in signal between specific green fluorescence in cancer foci and non-specific autofluorescence in background tissue was measured and processed into three kinetic maps reflecting maximum fluorescence signal (MF), wash-in rate (WIR), and area under the curve (AUC), respectively. Especially at lower concentrations, kinetic maps derived from dynamic fluorescence imaging were clearly superior to unprocessed images for detection small cancer foci.
