Enhanced Tumor Targeting of Radiolabeled Mouse/Human Chimeric Anti-Tn Antibody in Losartan-Treated Mice Bearing Tn-Expressing Lung Tumors.
Cancer Biotherapy & Radiopharmaceuticals 2024 January 13
Aim: ChiTn, a mouse/human chimeric anti-Tn monoclonal antibody, was radiolabeled with iodine-131 (131 I) and technetium-99m (99m Tc) to assess its biodistribution and internalization in Tn-expressing (Tn+) and wild-type (Tn-) LL/2 lung cancer cells. Results: Selective accumulation and gradual internalization of ChiTn were observed in Tn+ cells. Biodistribution in mice with both Tn+ or Tn- lung tumors indicated that the uptake of radiolabeled ChiTn within tumors increased over time. Dual-labeling experiments with 99m Tc and 131 I showed different biodistribution patterns, with 99m Tc exhibiting higher values in the liver, spleen, and kidneys, while 131 I showed higher uptake in the thyroid and stomach. However, tumor uptake did not significantly differ between Tn+ and Tn- tumors. To improve tumor targeting, Losartan, an antihypertensive drug known to enhance tumor perfusion and drug delivery, was investigated. Biodistribution studies in Losartan-treated mice revealed significantly higher radiolabeled ChiTn uptake in Tn+ tumors. No significant changes were observed in the uptake of the control molecule IgG-HYNIC-99m Tc. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate the enhanced tumor targeting of radiolabeled ChiTn in Losartan-treated mice with Tn-expressing lung tumors. They highlight the potential of ChiTn as a theranostic agent for cancer treatment and emphasize the importance of Losartan as an adjunctive treatment to improve tumor perfusion and drug delivery.
