DNA markers are useful in assessing cell proliferation. The purpose of this study was to synthesize (99m)Tc-ethylenedicysteine-guanine (EC-Guan) for evaluation of cell proliferation.
Tumor cells were incubated with (99m)Tc-EC-Guan for cell cycle analysis. Prostate tumor cells that were overexpressing the HSV thymidine kinase gene, or various tumor cells were incubated with (99m)Tc-EC-Guan at 0.5-2 h. Thymidine incorporation assays were performed in lung cancer cells incubated with EC-Guan at 0.1-1 mg/well. Tissue distribution, autoradiography, and planar scintigraphy of (99m)Tc-EC-Guan and (99m)Tc-EC (control) were determined in tumor-bearing rodents at 0.5-4 h.
Cell culture assays indicated that EC-Guan was incorporated in DNA, and there was no significant uptake difference between HSVTK overexpressed and normal groups. Biodistribution and scintigraphic imaging studies of (99m)Tc-EC-Guan showed increased tumor/tissue count density ratios as a function of time.
Our results indicate that (99m)Tc-EC-Guan may be useful as a tumor proliferation imaging agent.
DNA标记物在评估细胞增殖方面很有用。本研究的目的是合成99m锝-乙二巯基半胱氨酸-鸟嘌呤(EC-鸟嘌呤)用于评估细胞增殖。
将肿瘤细胞与99m锝-EC-鸟嘌呤一起孵育用于细胞周期分析。将过表达单纯疱疹病毒胸苷激酶基因的前列腺肿瘤细胞或各种肿瘤细胞与99m锝-EC-鸟嘌呤在0.5至2小时内孵育。在以0.1至1毫克/孔的EC-鸟嘌呤孵育的肺癌细胞中进行胸苷掺入试验。在荷瘤啮齿动物中于0.5至4小时测定99m锝-EC-鸟嘌呤和99m锝-EC(对照)的组织分布、放射自显影和平面闪烁显像。
细胞培养试验表明EC-鸟嘌呤掺入了DNA,并且在过表达HSVTK的组和正常组之间没有显著的摄取差异。99m锝-EC-鸟嘌呤的生物分布和闪烁显像研究表明,肿瘤/组织计数密度比随时间增加。
我们的结果表明99m锝-EC-鸟嘌呤可能作为一种肿瘤增殖显像剂有用。
