Prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) is upregulated in prostate cancer tissues. Here we aimed to study the therapeutic efficacy of a monoclonal antibody of PSCA-labeled I131 (I131-PSCA-mAb) in orthotopic mouse models of prostate cancer.
The proliferation, apoptosis and invasion abilities of PC-3 and LNCaP cells treated with I131-PSCA-mAb were measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay, flow cytometry and transwell culture, respectively. The human prostate cancer models were established by orthotopic implantation of PC-3 and LNCaP cells in nude mice. I131-PSCA-mAb distribution and tumor cell apoptosis in the tumor-bearing nude mice were measured.
The inhibitory and apoptosis rates of PC-3 and LNCaP cells treated with I131-PSCA-mAb reached a maximum of 84%, 80% and 50%, 46%, respectively, which were obviously higher than in the cells treated with I131-IgG or PSCA-mAb. The invaded number of PC-3 and LNCaP cells treated with I131-PSCA-mAbe was significantly reduced (P < 0.01) compared with the control group. The ratios of I131-PSCA-mAb in tumor to intramuscular I131-PSCA-mAb (T/NT) in tumor-bearing nude mice were increased with time and reached the highest level after 8 h. T/NT stayed above 3.0 after 12 h, and the tumor could still be developed after 24 h. The number of apoptotic cells in tumor tissue of nude mice treated with I131-PSCA-mAb was larger than that in the control group.
I131-PSCA-mAb has the potential to become a new targeted therapy drug for the treatment of prostate cancer.
前列腺干细胞抗原(PSCA)在前列腺癌组织中上调。本研究旨在探讨 PSCA 标记的单克隆抗体 I131-PSCA-mAb 在前列腺癌原位模型小鼠中的治疗效果。
采用噻唑蓝比色法、流式细胞术和 Transwell 培养分别检测 I131-PSCA-mAb 处理的 PC-3 和 LNCaP 细胞的增殖、凋亡和侵袭能力。通过将 PC-3 和 LNCaP 细胞原位植入裸鼠建立人前列腺癌模型。检测荷瘤裸鼠中 I131-PSCA-mAb 的分布和肿瘤细胞凋亡。
I131-PSCA-mAb 处理的 PC-3 和 LNCaP 细胞的抑制率和凋亡率分别达到 84%、80%和 50%、46%,明显高于 I131-IgG 或 PSCA-mAb 处理的细胞。I131-PSCA-mAb 处理的 PC-3 和 LNCaP 细胞的侵袭数量明显减少(P < 0.01)。荷瘤裸鼠中 I131-PSCA-mAb 在肿瘤与肌肉内 I131-PSCA-mAb(T/NT)的比值随时间增加,8 h 时达到最高水平。12 h 后 T/NT 仍保持在 3.0 以上,24 h 后肿瘤仍可显影。I131-PSCA-mAb 处理的裸鼠肿瘤组织中的凋亡细胞数量多于对照组。
I131-PSCA-mAb 有可能成为治疗前列腺癌的一种新的靶向治疗药物。
