Radiolabeling of epidermal growth factor with 99mTc and in vivo localization following intracerebral injection into normal and glioma-bearing rats

Bioconjugate Chemistry
J CapalaB A Rhodes

Abstract

High grade gliomas may have amplified expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene c-erb-B, which often is associated with increased expression of transmembrane EGFR. The purpose of the present study was to develop a method for labeling EGF with 99mTc and to determine whether the resulting radioligand would localize, following intracerebral injection, in rats bearing EGFR-positive gliomas. EGF has a relatively low molecular mass (approximately 6 kDa) compared to monoclonal antibodies, and this has allowed smaller bioconjugates, which should diffuse more rapidly within the brain and more effectively target disseminated glioma cells, to be constructed. In the present study, EGF has been labeled with either 131I or 99mTc, and in vitro uptake of the resulting radioligand has been investigated using C6EGFR rat glioma cells, which had been transfected with the EGFR gene. Cellular uptake of 131I radioactivity peaked after approximately 30 min of incubation with [131I]EGF, following which time it declined, while 99mTc radioactivity continued to increase over a 6 h incubation with [99mTc]-EGF. To determine if radiolabeled EGF had in vivo tumor-localizing properties, C6EGFR glioma cells were implanted stereotactically i...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
