Non-invasive in vivo imaging of changes in Collagen III turnover in myocardial fibrosis

Résumé

Abstract Heart failure (HF) affects 64 million people globally with enormous societal and healthcare costs. Myocardial fibrosis, characterised by changes in collagen content drives HF. Despite evidence that collagen type III (COL3) content changes during myocardial fibrosis, in vivo imaging of COL3 has not been achieved. Here, we discovered the first imaging probe that binds to COL3 with high affinity and specificity, by screening candidate peptide-based probes. Characterisation of the probe showed favourable magnetic and biodistribution properties. The probe’s potential for in vivo molecular cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated in a murine model of myocardial infarction. Using the new probe, we were able to map and quantify, previously undetectable, spatiotemporal changes in COL3 after myocardial infarction and monitor response to treatment. This innovative probe provides a promising tool to non-invasively study the unexplored roles of COL3 in cardiac fibrosis and other cardiovascular conditions marked by changes in COL3.
