Abstract
The formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) is a feature common to all solid tumors. The integrin receptor alpha(V)beta(3), which is found on endothelial cells lining newly growing blood vessels at a higher density than on mature blood vessels, is being explored as a marker for tumor angiogenesis. Bitistatin, a member of the disintegrin family of polypeptides, has affinity for alpha(V)beta(3) integrins. To determine whether radiolabeled bitistatin could target tumors, its biodistribution was tested in tumor-bearing mice. For initial validation studies, (125)I-bitistatin was injected into BALB/c mice bearing EMT-6 mouse mammary carcinoma tumors, a model that is highly vascular but which lacks alpha(V)beta(3) directly on tumor cells. Tumor uptake reached maximal values (11.7 +/- 4.6 %ID/g) at 2 h. Co-injection of 200 microg of unlabeled bitistatin reduced tumor uptake 62%, suggesting that the binding of (125)I-bitistatin is receptor-mediated. This work was extended to include the beta(+)-emitting radionuclide (64)Cu, which was attached to bitistatin via 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N' ',N' "-tetraacetic acid (DOTA). This modification did not significantly alter receptor binding in vitro. MicroPET images obtained with...Continue Reading
