<meta name="description" content="The primary function of the liver is to remove toxins from the body through metabolism and excretion, and to synthesize complex biologically active substances such as clotting factors and albumin. Impairment of liver function as a result of hepatitis, infections, jaundice, cirrhosis, or cancer can lead to a variety of gastrointestinal disorders. The evaluation of hepatic function is an important parameter in the determination of the physiological state of the liver, particularly for patients who have been diagnosed with liver disease for which a hepatectomy or liver transplantation is the treatment of choice (1). Therefore, determination of the hepatic function is now considered important before and after a hepatectomy or liver transplantation to predict patient outcome (2).">

Impairment of liver function as a result of hepatitis, infections, jaundice, cirrhosis, or cancer can lead to a variety of gastrointestinal disorders. The evaluation of hepatic function is an important parameter in the determination of the physiological state of the liver, particularly for patients who have been diagnosed with liver disease for which a hepatectomy or liver transplantation is the treatment of choice (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.1" rid="GSATc99m.REF.1">1</a>). Therefore, determination of the hepatic function is now considered important before and after a hepatectomy or liver transplantation to predict patient outcome (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.2" rid="GSATc99m.REF.2">2</a>).</p><p>The asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGP-R) exist specifically on hepatic cell membranes and are believed to be necessary for intracellular trafficking and endocytic activity in the liver. The number of ASGP-R on the hepatocytes of individuals with liver disease is altered and is thus considered a good indicator for the evaluation of liver function (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.3" rid="GSATc99m.REF.3 GSATc99m.REF.4">3, 4</a>). Technetium [<sup>99m</sup>Tc]-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-galactosyl-human serum albumin (<sup>99m</sup>Tc-GSA), originally known as <sup>99m</sup>Tc-galactosyl-neoglycoalbumin (<sup>99m</sup>Tc-NGA), is an ASGP-R ligand that accumulates specifically in the liver and is used for liver scintigraphy to determine hepatocyte mass and function (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.1" rid="GSATc99m.REF.1 GSATc99m.REF.5 GSATc99m.REF.6">1, 5, 6</a>). <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GSA is available as a commercial kit in Japan (<a href="http://www.nmp.co.jp/eng/about/index.html" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">www.nmp.co.jp/eng/about/index.html</a>, in English, and www.nmp.co.jp/index.html, in Japanese). According to Stadalnik and Vera, <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GSA has been available only at one institution in the United States, the University of California, Davis Medical Center (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.6" rid="GSATc99m.REF.6">6</a>).</p></div><div id="GSATc99m.Synthesis"><h2 id="_GSATc99m_Synthesis_">Synthesis</h2><p>[<a href="/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=PureSearch&#x00026;db=pubmed&#x00026;details_term=99mTc-GSA%20synthesis" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>The synthesis of <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GSA in the laboratory was described by Kudo et al. (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.7" rid="GSATc99m.REF.7">7</a>). Galactose was derivatized to produce cyanomethyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-<i>O</i>-acetyl-1-thio-&#x003b2;-D-galactose (CNM-thiogalactose). The CNM-thiogalactose was purified by repeated recrystallization from dry methanol. It was then re-dissolved in methanol, and sodium methoxide was added to the solution. This mixture was kept at room temperature for 48 h. The solvent was evaporated <i>in vacuo</i> at 40<sup>o</sup>C to obtain 2-imino-2-methoxyethyl-1-thio- &#x003b2;-D-galactose (IME-thiogalactose). This reaction step had an estimated yield of 55%.</p><p>Human serum albumin (HSA), diluted in borate buffer at pH 8.5, was added to IME-thiogalactose, and the mixture was stirred at 37<sup>o</sup>C for 1.5 h to yield HSA derivatives with 30&#x02013;40 moles of galactose coupled per mole of HSA. Subsequently, cyclic diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (cDTPA) was slowly added to the reaction mixture, and the coupling was allowed to proceed for 10 min at 37<sup>o</sup>C with continuous stirring. This reaction yielded HSA derivatives containing 4.5&#x02013;7.0 moles of DTPA per mole of HSA. The GSA monomers were isolated from the HSA derivative mixture by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a NaCl solution as the elution solvent. GSA obtained by this method was &#x0003e;95% pure. The amount of galactose bound to HSA and the degree of DTPA conjugation was determined by methods described by Kudo et al. (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.7" rid="GSATc99m.REF.7">7</a>).</p><p>To radiolabel GSA with metastable <sup>99m</sup>Tc, the concentration of HPLC-purified GSA was adjusted to 3 mg/ml at pH 3.1&#x02013;3.4. The solution was deoxygenated by flushing argon gas through it until the oxygen concentration became &#x0003c;100 parts per billion. Then SnCl<sub>2</sub> and ascorbic acid were added to obtain a final concentration of 0.1 and 0.5 &#x000b5;M, respectively. The solution was then dispensed into glass vials (each with a rubber stopper) through a 0.22-&#x000b5;m filter membrane. At this stage the vials may be frozen for the short term or lyophilized for long-term storage. To obtain <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GSA, a <sup>99m</sup>Tc solution was added to each vial and mixed gently at room temperature for ~1 min. Purity of <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GSA was determined to be &#x0003e;98% by thin-layer chromatography. Specific activity of the final product obtained with this method was not provided by the authors.</p><p>Another procedure, described by Vera et al., is also available for the preparation of <sup>99m</sup>Tc-NGA (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.8" rid="GSATc99m.REF.8">8</a>).</p></div><div id="GSATc99m.In_Vitro_Studies_Tes"><h2 id="_GSATc99m_In_Vitro_Studies_Tes_"><i>In Vitro</i> Studies: Testing in Cells and Tissues</h2><p>[<a href="/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=PureSearch&#x00026;db=pubmed&#x00026;details_term=99mTc-GSA%20in%20vitro" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>Using patient biopsies, Kudo et al.

The maximal binding (<i>B</i><sub>max</sub>) of <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GSA to the hepatocyte membranes and ketone body ratio (KBR) that reflects cell injury in the medium was determined for three durations of hypoxia (1, 2, and 3 h). The <i>B</i><sub>max</sub> for receptor binding and endocytosis decreased (ng/dish) with the increase in hypoxia, although the number of viable cells remained constant. The KBR was also significantly decreased during hypoxic conditions, which indicated that the extent of cell injury depended on duration of hypoxia. The investigators concluded that the hypoxic conditions reduced the number of ASGP-R binding sites involved in endocytosis per hepatocyte and that the cells were irreversibly injured if maintained under these conditions for a prolonged period.</p><p>In another study that used cultured primary hepatocytes, Hata and Ishii showed that galactose inhibited the binding to and the internalization of <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GSA into the hepatocytes (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.11" rid="GSATc99m.REF.11">11</a>).</p></div><div id="GSATc99m.Animal_Studies"><h2 id="_GSATc99m_Animal_Studies_">Animal Studies</h2><div id="GSATc99m.Rodents"><h3>Rodents</h3><p>[<a href="/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=PureSearch&#x00026;db=pubmed&#x00026;details_term=99mTc-GSA%20rodentia" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>Toxicological studies with <sup>99m</sup>Tc-NGA were performed in mice and rabbits (<a class="bibr" href="#GSATc99m.REF.8" rid="GSATc99m.REF.8">8</a>), and the animals showed no toxicological effects with the treatment.
