The basis for the use of nucleoside tracers in PET is that activity of the cell-growth-dependent enzyme thymidine kinase 1 is the rate-limiting factor driving tracer retention in tumors. Recent publications suggest that nucleoside transporters might influence uptake and thereby affect the tracer signal in vivo. Understanding transport mechanisms for different nucleoside PET tracers is important for evaluating clinical results. This study examined the relative role of different nucleoside transport mechanisms in uptake and retention of [methyl-(3)H]-3'-deoxy-3'-fluorothymidine ((3)H-FLT), [methyl-(3)H]-thymidine ((3)H-thymidine), and (3)H-1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-methyluracil ((3)H-FMAU).
