The aim of this study was to understand the relationship of lipid deposition to the macrophage content, macrophage metabolism, and apoptosis in plaque. We compared the uptake of 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-[C-14]glucose ([C-14]FDG) and [Tc-99m]HYNIC-annexin V ([Tc-99m]annexin A5) with the lesion histology in apolipoprotein E knockout (apoE(-/-)) mice. Male apoE(-/-) mice (n = 9) were injected with [C-14]FDG and [Tc-99m]annexin A5. Cryostat sections of aorta samples (n = 49) were used for dual-tracer autoradiography, and regional tracer uptake levels were evaluated. Lesions were identified histologically with Movat's pentachrome (AHA lesion phenotypes), Mac-2 staining (macrophage infiltration) and Oil Red O staining (lipid deposition). The highest uptakes of [C-14]FDG (3.10 +/- 1.50 %ID x kilogram per square millimeter) and [Tc-99m]annexin A5 (0.49 +/- 0.20 %ID x kilogram per square millimeter) were shown in atheromatous lesions (types III and IV). Each tracer uptake showed better correlation with macrophage infiltration than lipid deposition ([C-14]FDG, r = 0.44 vs. r = 0.14; [Tc-99m]annexin A5, r = 0.65 vs. r = 0.48). Both tracers were concentrated in type III and IV atheromatous lesions which corresponded to macrophage infiltration rather than lipid deposition.
