In this study, we synthesized ~77Lutetium (177Lu)-trastuzumabiron oxide nanoparticles as a double radiopharmaceutical agent for treatment and better estimation of organ activity in a new way by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: ^177Lu-trastuzumab-iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized and all the quality control tests such as labeling yield, nanoparticle size determination, stability in buffer and blood serum up to 4 d, immunoreactivity and biodistribution in normal mice were determined. In mice bearing breast tumor, liver and tumor activities were calculated with three methods: single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), MRI and organ extraction, which were compared with each other. Results: The good results of quality control tests (labeling yield: 61%±2%, mean nanoparticle hydrodynamic size: 41±15 nm, stability in buffer: 86%±5%, stability in blood serum: 80%±3%, immunoreactivity: 80%±2%) indicated that ^177Lu-trastuzumab-iron oxide nanoparticles could be used as a double radiopharmaceutical agent in mice bearing tumor. Results showed that ^177Lu-trastuzumab-iron oxide nanoparticles with MRI had the ability to measure organ activities more accurate than SPECT. Conclusions: Co-conjugating radiopharmaceutical to MRI contrast agents such as iron oxide nanoparticles may be a good way for better dosimetry in nuclear medicine treatment.展开更多

SPECT imaging and biodistribution were performed at 4, 24, 48, or 72 h after injection of 153Sm-labeled compounds. Five groups of nude mice subcutaneously grafted with human colon carcinoma were treated 3 d after grafting. One group received the injection with 100 μg CEA McAb-Bt followed by cold avidin (80 μg)after 2 d and 11.1 MBq 153Sm-DB2 after 1d. Four control groups were treated respectively with 11.1 MBq 153SmCEA McAb, 11.1 MBq 153Sm-nmIgG, 11.1 MBq 153Sm-DB2,100 Μl normal saline. Toxicity was evaluated by changes of leukocyte count, and the efficacy by variation in tumor volume. Histological analyses of tumors were performed.RESULTS: The three-step procedure allowed faster blood clearance and yielded higher tumor blood ratios (5.76 at4 h and 12.94 at 24 h) of the 153Sm-DB2. The tumor was clearly visualized at 4 h in y-imaging after the injection of 153Sm-DB2, while a significant accumulation of 153Sm-SA in the tumor was observed only 24 h after the injection and tumor blood ratios at 4 and 24 h were 1.00 and 2.03,respectively, in the two-step procedure. Pretargeting RIT and 153Sm-CEA McAb had a strong tumor-inhibiting effect.The tumor inhibitory rate was 80.67% and 78.44%,respectively, five weeks after therapy. Histopathological evidence also indicated radioactive damage in tumor tissues as necrosis of tumor cells, while in the other organs such as liver and kidney no radioactive damage was observed. Leukocyte counts showed significant decrease after treatment in groups of 153Sm-CEA Mc Ab and 153SmnmIgG.CONCLUSION: The two kinds of pretargeting strategies can elevate the target-to-nontarget ratio, decrease the blood background and shorten the imaging time compared to 153Sm-CEA McAb. Three-step pretargeting RIT is as efficient as 153Sm-CEA Mc Ab, but markedly less toxic. This study provides experimental evidence for the clinical application of pretargeting RII and RIT.展开更多

SPECT imaging and biodistribution study were performed at 28-48 h after the injection of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt. Three groups of nude mice subcutaneously grafted with human colon carcinoma were treated 7 d after the graft. Mice in the avidin chase group received intravenous injection of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt (11.1 MBq/20 μg) followed by intravenous injection of cold avidin (80 μg) after 24 h. Mice in the control group (treated group without avidin chase) only received the injection of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt (11.1 MBq/20 μg), another control group (non-treated group) only received 0.1 mL normal saline solution. Toxicity was evaluated on the basis of change of body weight and peripheral WBC counts, and therapy effects were determined by variation in tumor volume. Histological analysis of tumors was also performed.RESULTS: Avidin chase markedly accelerated the clearance of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt from the blood and normal tissues. The tumor uptakes of 188Re-CEA Mc Ab-Bt at 28 h were 5.90 and 6.42% ID/g, respectively, in chase group and in non-chase group, while the tumor-to-background (T/NT) ratios were 3.19 and 0.56, respectively. The tumor uptake was slightly decreased by avidin chase, but the T/NT ratios were increased. In treated groups the growth rate of body weight and the number of WBC decreased after injection of 188Re-CEA McAb-Bt, and the WBC counts recovered earlier in the group with avidin chase than in the group without avidin chase. Compared to the nontreated group, treated groups with and without avidin chase showed significant anti-tumor effects.CONCLUSION: Avidin chase can effectively reduce the side effects of RIT, and improve therapeutic efficacy.展开更多

Twenty of them had abnormal serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP,>20 ng/ml). Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan and quantitative assay of AFP were performed after RIT. The results revealed that when the tumor to liver ratio (T/L) was higher than 3.5 (Group A , n =3) , the serum AFP level declined markedly and then kept in stable for a tongtime; when the T/L ratio was less than 1.2 (Group C ,n=5), the serum AFP level did not change evidently within 2 months postinfusion; while the T/L ratio was between 1. 2 3. 5 (Group B, n= 12) , the serum AFP level increased transiently and then decreased within 2 4 weeks postinfusion. Sequentiat resection was achieved in all of the 3 patients of Group A, in 6 patients (50%) of Group B, and none in Group C. The correlation of serum AFP and effective treatment demonstrates the usefulness of this oncofetal protein marker as an indicator of neoplastic activity for HCC and T/L ratio might be a good indicator to predict tumor response to RIT in patients with展开更多

The cytotoxic effect of BEZ235 was investigated using a colony formation assay. Therapeutic efficacy enhancement by oral BEZ235 administration was assessed using mice bearing Bx PC-3 xenograft tumors. Tumor volume measurements and immunohistochemical analyses(cell proliferation marker Ki-67, DNA damage marker p-H2 AX and p-4 EBP1 staining) of tumors were performed for evaluation of combined treatment with ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 plus BEZ235, or each arm alone.RESULTS We found that phosphorylation of Akt(p-Akt), 4 EBP1(p-4 EBP1) and S6(p-S6) was inhibited by BEZ235. Colony formation in Bx PC-3 cells was additively suppressed by the combination of ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 and BEZ235. Pretreatment with BEZ235 before ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 exposure resulted in significant reduction of cells plating efficiency(PE)(0.54 ± 0.11 vs 2.81 ± 0.14 with 185 k Bq/m L ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 exposure, P < 0.01; 0.39 ± 0.08 vs 1.88 ± 0.09 with 370 k Bq/m L ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 exposure, P < 0.01) when 5 × 10~3 cells per dish were plated. In vivo, the combined treatment with ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 plus BEZ235 enhanced the inhibition of tumor growth and statistically significant differences of relative tumor volume were observed for 27 d after the treatment start date when compared with the ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 single injection treatment(1.03 ± 0.38 vs 1.5 ± 0.15 at Day 27, P < 0.05), and for 41 d when compared with the BEZ235 treatment alone(1.8 ± 0.7 vs 3.14 ± 1.19 at Day 41, P < 0.05). Tumors from treatment groups showed reduction in volumes, decreased Ki-67-positive cells, increased p-H2 AX-positive cells and decreased p-4 EBP1 expression. CONCLUSION The therapeutic efficacy of ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4-RIT can be improved by combining with dual PI3 K and m TOR inhibitor, BEZ235, in a pancreatic cancer model suggesting potential clinical application.展开更多

Multi- variable analysis with Cox' s regression model revealed that the statistically sig-nifieant factors include tumor size, activity of 131I administered each time and the second-look resection. Survival of patients with tumor diameter less than 10 cm was higher than that of patients with tumor diameter more than 10 cm (1-year survival; 84% versus 50%) 3-year survival; 63% versus 9% ). Patients administered with 5. 55×108 Bq to 9. 25× 10(?) of 131I-FtAb each time yielded better effect than those administered with more than 9. 25×108 Bq of 131I -FtAb (1-year, survival: 86% ver- sus 55%; 3-year survival: 50% versus 18%). When tumor shrank, patients underwent second-look resection had a higher survival than those without receiving second- look resection (1- year survival, 80%versus 66 %; 3-year survival; 80% versus 11%).展开更多

文摘B7 homolog 3(B7-H3)has attracted much attention in glioblastoma(GBM)radioimmunotherapy(RIT)due to its abnormally high expression on tumor cells.In this study,we report that two specific humanized anti-human B7-H3 antibodies(hu4G4 and hu4H12)derived from mouse anti-human B7-H3 antibodies that were generated by computer-aided design and exclusively recognize membrane expression of B7-H3 by human glioma cells,Hu4G4 and hu4H12 were radiolabeled with^(89)Zr for RIT antibody screening.Micro-positron emission tomography(PET)imaging,biodistribution and pharmacokinetic(PK)analyses of^(89)Zr-labeled antibodies were performed in U87-xenografted models.^(125)I labelling of the antibodies for single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)imaging was also used to investigate the biological behavior of the antibodies in vivo.Fu rthermore,the pharmacodynamic(PD)of the^(131)Ilabeled antibodies were evaluated in U87-xenografted mice and GL261 Red-FLuc-B7-H3 in situ glioma tumor models.Micro-PET imaging and biodistribution analysis with a gamma counter showed that^(89)Zr-deferoxamine(DFO)-hu4G4 had higher tumor targeting performance with lower liver uptake than^(89)Zr-DFO-(hu4H12,immunoglobulin G(IgG)).The biodistribution results of^(125)I-SPECT imaging were similar to those of^(89)Zr-PET imaging,though the biodistribution in long bone joints and the thyroid varied.The PD analysis results indicated that^(131)I-hu4G4 had an excellent therapeutic effect and high safety with no apparent toxicity.Interestingly,^(131)I-hu4G4 improved the tumor vasculature in tissues with higher expression of collagen typeⅣand platelet-derived growth factor receptorβ(PDGFR-β)compared with control treatment,as determined by immunofluorescence(IF),which contributed to inhibiting tumor growth.Taken together,our data indicate that hu4G4 exhibits good tumor targeting and specificity,achieves low nonspecific concentrations in normal tissues,and has acceptable PK characteristics.^(131)I-hu4G4 also exerts effective antitumor effects with an ideal safety profile.Therefore,we expect hu4G4 to be an excellent antibody for the development of GBM RIT.
文摘Objective: Estimation of activity accumulated in tumor and organs is very important in predicting the response of radiopharmaceuticals treatment. In this study, we synthesized ~77Lutetium (177Lu)-trastuzumabiron oxide nanoparticles as a double radiopharmaceutical agent for treatment and better estimation of organ activity in a new way by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: ^177Lu-trastuzumab-iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized and all the quality control tests such as labeling yield, nanoparticle size determination, stability in buffer and blood serum up to 4 d, immunoreactivity and biodistribution in normal mice were determined. In mice bearing breast tumor, liver and tumor activities were calculated with three methods: single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), MRI and organ extraction, which were compared with each other. Results: The good results of quality control tests (labeling yield: 61%±2%, mean nanoparticle hydrodynamic size: 41±15 nm, stability in buffer: 86%±5%, stability in blood serum: 80%±3%, immunoreactivity: 80%±2%) indicated that ^177Lu-trastuzumab-iron oxide nanoparticles could be used as a double radiopharmaceutical agent in mice bearing tumor. Results showed that ^177Lu-trastuzumab-iron oxide nanoparticles with MRI had the ability to measure organ activities more accurate than SPECT. Conclusions: Co-conjugating radiopharmaceutical to MRI contrast agents such as iron oxide nanoparticles may be a good way for better dosimetry in nuclear medicine treatment.
文摘AIM: To evaluate the multi-step pretargeting radioimmunoimaging (RII) and radioimmunotherapy (RIT) in nude mice bearing human colon carcinoma with avidin-biotin system labeled with 153Sm.METHODS: Two- and three-step strategies for avidinbiotin system pretargeting techniques were established.In a three-step procedure, human colon carcinoma bearing nude mice were first injected with biotinylated monoclonal antibody (McAb-Bt) followed by cold avidin (Av) 48 h later and then 153Sm-DB2 24 h thereafter;whereas the twostep procedure consisted of injection of 153Sm-SA 48 h after pretargeting with biotinylated anti-CEA monoclonal antibody (CEA McAb-Bt). SPECT imaging and biodistribution were performed at 4, 24, 48, or 72 h after injection of 153Sm-labeled compounds. Five groups of nude mice subcutaneously grafted with human colon carcinoma were treated 3 d after grafting. One group received the injection with 100 μg CEA McAb-Bt followed by cold avidin (80 μg)after 2 d and 11.1 MBq 153Sm-DB2 after 1d. Four control groups were treated respectively with 11.1 MBq 153SmCEA McAb, 11.1 MBq 153Sm-nmIgG, 11.1 MBq 153Sm-DB2,100 Μl normal saline. Toxicity was evaluated by changes of leukocyte count, and the efficacy by variation in tumor volume. Histological analyses of tumors were performed.RESULTS: The three-step procedure allowed faster blood clearance and yielded higher tumor blood ratios (5.76 at4 h and 12.94 at 24 h) of the 153Sm-DB2. The tumor was clearly visualized at 4 h in y-imaging after the injection of 153Sm-DB2, while a significant accumulation of 153Sm-SA in the tumor was observed only 24 h after the injection and tumor blood ratios at 4 and 24 h were 1.00 and 2.03,respectively, in the two-step procedure. Pretargeting RIT and 153Sm-CEA McAb had a strong tumor-inhibiting effect.The tumor inhibitory rate was 80.67% and 78.44%,respectively, five weeks after therapy. Histopathological evidence also indicated radioactive damage in tumor tissues as necrosis of tumor cells, while in the other organs such as liver and kidney no radioactive damage was observed. Leukocyte counts showed significant decrease after treatment in groups of 153Sm-CEA Mc Ab and 153SmnmIgG.CONCLUSION: The two kinds of pretargeting strategies can elevate the target-to-nontarget ratio, decrease the blood background and shorten the imaging time compared to 153Sm-CEA McAb. Three-step pretargeting RIT is as efficient as 153Sm-CEA Mc Ab, but markedly less toxic. This study provides experimental evidence for the clinical application of pretargeting RII and RIT.

文摘AIM To investigate the therapeutic effect of combined integrin α6β4-targeted radioimmunotherapy(RIT) and PI3 K/m TOR inhibitor BEZ235 in a pancreatic cancer model.METHODS Phosphorylation of Akt, m TOR, the downstream effectors eukaryotic initiation factor 4 E binding protein 1(4 EBP1) and S6 ribosomal protein(S6) were evaluated in Bx PC-3 human pancreatic cancer cells treated with Yttrium-^(90)(^(90) Y) labeled anti-integrin α6β4 antibody(ITGA6 B4) and BEZ235 by western blotting. The cytotoxic effect of BEZ235 was investigated using a colony formation assay. Therapeutic efficacy enhancement by oral BEZ235 administration was assessed using mice bearing Bx PC-3 xenograft tumors. Tumor volume measurements and immunohistochemical analyses(cell proliferation marker Ki-67, DNA damage marker p-H2 AX and p-4 EBP1 staining) of tumors were performed for evaluation of combined treatment with ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 plus BEZ235, or each arm alone.RESULTS We found that phosphorylation of Akt(p-Akt), 4 EBP1(p-4 EBP1) and S6(p-S6) was inhibited by BEZ235. Colony formation in Bx PC-3 cells was additively suppressed by the combination of ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 and BEZ235. Pretreatment with BEZ235 before ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 exposure resulted in significant reduction of cells plating efficiency(PE)(0.54 ± 0.11 vs 2.81 ± 0.14 with 185 k Bq/m L ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 exposure, P < 0.01; 0.39 ± 0.08 vs 1.88 ± 0.09 with 370 k Bq/m L ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 exposure, P < 0.01) when 5 × 10~3 cells per dish were plated. In vivo, the combined treatment with ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 plus BEZ235 enhanced the inhibition of tumor growth and statistically significant differences of relative tumor volume were observed for 27 d after the treatment start date when compared with the ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4 single injection treatment(1.03 ± 0.38 vs 1.5 ± 0.15 at Day 27, P < 0.05), and for 41 d when compared with the BEZ235 treatment alone(1.8 ± 0.7 vs 3.14 ± 1.19 at Day 41, P < 0.05). Tumors from treatment groups showed reduction in volumes, decreased Ki-67-positive cells, increased p-H2 AX-positive cells and decreased p-4 EBP1 expression. CONCLUSION The therapeutic efficacy of ^(90) Y-ITGA6 B4-RIT can be improved by combining with dual PI3 K and m TOR inhibitor, BEZ235, in a pancreatic cancer model suggesting potential clinical application.

文摘Radiotherapy(RT)is a widely used way for cancer treatment.However,the efficiency of RT may come with various challenges such as low specificity,limitation by resistance,high dose and so on.Nitric oxide(NO)is known a very effective radiosensitizer of hypoxic tumor.However,NO cannot circulate in body with high concentration.Herein,an NIR light-responsive NO delivery system is developed for controlled and precisely release of NO to hypoxic tumors during radiotherapy.Tert-Butyl nitrite,which is an efficient NO source,is coupled to Ag2S quantum dots(QDs).NO could be generated and released from the Ag2S QDs effectively under the NIR irradiation due to the thermal effect.In addition,Ag is also a type of heavy metal that can benefit the RT therapy.We demonstrate that Ag2S NO delivery platforms remarkably maximize radiotherapy effects to inhibit tumor growth in CT26 tumor model.Furthermore,immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment is improved by our NO delivery system,significantly enhancing the anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy.100% survival rate is achieved by the radio-immune combined therapy strategy based on the Ag2S NO delivery platforms.Our results suggest the promise of Ag2S NO delivery platforms for multifunctional cancer radioimmunotherapy.
文摘Factors influencing the therapeutic effect of radiolmmunotherapy with 131I labeled anti- human hepa-tocellular carcinoma (HCC) ferritin antibody (131I -FtAb) on thirty three patients with surgically proven unresectable HCC were studied. Multi- variable analysis with Cox' s regression model revealed that the statistically sig-nifieant factors include tumor size, activity of 131I administered each time and the second-look resection. Survival of patients with tumor diameter less than 10 cm was higher than that of patients with tumor diameter more than 10 cm (1-year survival; 84% versus 50%) 3-year survival; 63% versus 9% ). Patients administered with 5. 55×108 Bq to 9. 25× 10(?) of 131I-FtAb each time yielded better effect than those administered with more than 9. 25×108 Bq of 131I -FtAb (1-year, survival: 86% ver- sus 55%; 3-year survival: 50% versus 18%). When tumor shrank, patients underwent second-look resection had a higher survival than those without receiving second- look resection (1- year survival, 80%versus 66 %; 3-year survival; 80% versus 11%).
