Introduction: Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nano-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by Gram-negative bacteria into their environment. SpyCatcher (SpC) is a protein that forms a spontaneous isopeptide bond with the peptide tag SpyTag (SpT).
Aims: Designing a novel approach for the radiolabeling and quantitative molecular imaging of bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs).
Method: SpyCatcher is anchored to the OMV surface using surface display systems based on bacterial autotransporters AIDA and Hbp that are expressed using a novel genetically engineered E. coli BL21(DE3) ΔnlpI, ΔlpxM strain. Cu-64 is an appropriate isotope for radiolabeling and tracking different protein, peptide or particulate systems in biological in vivo studies.
Results: Cu-64 half-life of 12.7 hours allows for flexible detection of the positron-emitting decay using appropriately sensitive imaging systems up to 5 days after injection. SpT was radiolabeled with Cu-64 through a macrocylic chelator, then purified and incubated along with OMV-s. After incubation and size exclusion based filtration, radiolabeled OMV-s were produced and ready for in vivo use. Biodistribution of radiolabeled OMVs in mice was measured using positron emission tomography (PET) following intravenous administration. Conclusion: The novel method can serve as a basis for a general OMV radiolabeling scheme and could be integrated into vaccine- and drug-carrier development based on bioengineered OMVs.
