Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A2 (EphA2) is overexpressed in cancer cells and causes abnormal cell proliferation. Therefore, it has attracted attention as a target for diagnostic agents. In this study, the EphA2-230-1 monoclonal antibody (EphA2-230-1) was labeled with [In]In and evaluated as an imaging tracer for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of EphA2. EphA2-230-1 was conjugated with 2-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (p-SCN-BnDTPA) and then labeled with [In]In. [In]In-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1 was evaluated in cell-binding, biodistribution, and SPECT/computed tomography (CT) studies. The cellular uptake ratio of [In]In-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1 was 14.0 ± 2.1%/mg protein at 4 h in the cell-binding study. In the biodistribution study, a high uptake of [In]In-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1 was observed in tumor tissue (14.6 ± 3.2% injected dose/g at 72 h). The superior accumulation of [In]In-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1 in tumors was also confirmed using SPECT/CT. Therefore, [In]In-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1 has potential as a SPECT imaging tracer for EphA2.
促红细胞生成素产生肝细胞受体A2(EphA2)在癌细胞中过度表达并导致细胞异常增殖。因此,它作为诊断剂的靶点已引起关注。在本研究中,EphA2-230-1单克隆抗体(EphA2-230-1)用[铟]铟标记,并作为EphA2单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)的成像示踪剂进行评估。EphA2-230-1与2-(4-异硫氰酸苄基)-二亚乙基三胺五乙酸(p-SCN-BnDTPA)偶联,然后用[铟]铟标记。[铟]铟-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1在细胞结合、生物分布和SPECT/计算机断层扫描(CT)研究中进行了评估。在细胞结合研究中,4小时时[铟]铟-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1的细胞摄取率为14.0±2.1%/mg蛋白。在生物分布研究中,在肿瘤组织中观察到[铟]铟-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1的高摄取(72小时时为14.6±3.2%注射剂量/g)。使用SPECT/CT也证实了[铟]铟-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1在肿瘤中的优越蓄积。因此,[铟]铟-BnDTPA-EphA2-230-1有潜力作为EphA2的SPECT成像示踪剂。
