-NGR2 was determined using a Miniscan TLC scanner (Bioscan, Washington, DC, USA) with Polygram SIL G (Macherey-Nagel GmbH, Germany) plates. The developing solvent was sodium citrate (0.1 M, pH = 5); radiolabeled peptide remained in the origin, whereas free 68 Ga moved with the solvent front (R f

= 0.8

 1.0).

= 0.8-1.0).

Western Blot Analysis.

Cell extracts were obtained by lysing cells in cell lysis buffer (Beyotime, China) supplemented with protease inhibitors (Roche, Canada).Then the extracts was centrifugated at 12,000 rpm for 10 min at 4

°C, protein concentration of supernatant was determined with the Bradford Protein Assay Kit

(Beyotime, China). Cell extracts (40 μg of protein) were loaded on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA). Membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk and incubated with anti-CD13 monoclonal antibody (1:100, ABCAM) / anti-integrin α v monoclonal antibody (1:300, ABCAM) overnight and peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody

(1:400, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) for 2 h according to the manufacturer's instructions, developed using the ECL detection system (Thermo, USA) with ChemiDOC XRS+

(Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Beta-actin was detected with anti-β-actin as an internal loading control.

expression of HT-1080 and

HT-29 cells. Beta-actin was used as a loading control. The data demonstrated that CD13 receptors and integrin α v

are overexpressed in HT-1080 cells, but not in HT-29 cells.

Cell Uptake and Efflux Studies

The cellular uptake and efflux studies were performed as described previously with some modifications(Chen et al. 2013). Briefly, HT-1080 cells were seeded into a 48-well plate at a density of

2.5 × 10 5 cells per well, and grown overnight. The tumor cells were then incubated with 68 Ga-labeled

tracers (~ 18 kBq/well) at 37 °C for 15, 30, 60, and 120 min. At the end of the incubation period, tumor cells were washed three times with chilled PBS, and harvested by trypsinization with 0.25% trypsin/0.02% EDTA (Beyotime, China). The cell suspensions were collected and measured in a gamma counter (Beijing PET CO., Ltd., China). The cellular uptake of labeled tracers was expressed as the percentage of total input dose after decay correction. Experiments were performed twice with triplicate wells.

For efflux studies, tumor cells were incubated with 68 Ga-labeled tracers (~ 18 kBq/well) for 1 h at

37 °C to allow internalization. The cells were then washed twice with PBS, and incubated in culture medium for 15, 30, 60, and 120 min. After washing three times with PBS, cells were harvested by trypsinization with 0.25% trypsin/0.02% EDTA (Beyotime, China). Cell suspensions were collected and measured in a gamma-counter. Experiments were performed twice in triplicate. Efflux data were presented as the percentage of the added dose after decay correction.

All 68 Ga-labeled tracers bound to HT-1080 cells. The uptake of 68 Ga-labeled tracers was maximal after

2 h incubation. For 68 Ga-NOTA-G

3

-RGD2 1.19 ± 0.21% of probe uptake occurred during the first hour, and 1.66 ± 0.14% at the end of the 2 h incubation. The cell uptake of 68 Ga-NOTA-G

3

-NGR2 was 1.25

± 0.13% during the first hour, and 1.58 ± 0.22% after 2 h incubation (Fig S4). HT-1080 cells had good retention of both tracers. For 68 Ga- NOTA-G

3

-RGD2, ~ 0.64% (from 1.32 to 0.68% of total input radioactivity) of the efflux was measured, compared with ~ 0.63% (from 1.28 to 0.65% of total input radioactivity) for 68 Ga-NOTA-G

-NGR2 at the end of the incubation (Fig S4). There was no significant difference in the cellular uptake and efflux of 68 Ga-NOTA-G

H&E and Indirect Immunohistochemistry of CD13 Receptor/integrin α

v

of

HT-1080 Tumor

After imaging, mice were killed and tumors were cut and fixed in 10% formalin. Routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and indirect immunohistochemistry of CD13 receptor/integrin α v

of HT-1080 tumor were carried out as described previously. The working dilution of anti-CD13 antibody and anti-integrin

α v

monoclonal antibody was all 1:100. Afterwards, slides were observed under an Olympus microscope and the images were captured. Brown-colored staining in the cell membrane was considered as a positive result of CD13/integrin α v

expression.

MicroPET imaging

To follow tumor growth, 18 F-FDG microPET images were acquired before 68 Ga-NOTA-G
