Abstract

The outstanding sensitivity of pentagastrin in detecting the presence of primary, recurrent or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) suggests widespread expression of the corresponding receptor type in human MTC. Indeed, recent autoradiographic studies have demonstrated the presence of cholecystokinin (CCK)-B (= gastrin) receptors not only in more than 90% of MTCs but also in a high percentage of small cell lung cancers, stromal ovarian cancers, astrocytomas and several other tumour types. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether radiolabelled gastrin may be suitable for targeting CCK-B receptor-expressing tumours in vivo. For this purpose, the biodistribution of the radioiodinated human heptadecapeptide gastrin-I was studied in nude mice bearing subcutaneous xenografts of the human MTC cell line, TT. Initial therapy experiments were undertaken. Finally, the biodistribution of iodine-131- labelled gastrin-I was studied in a patient with metastatic MTC. At a peptide amount of approximately 1 microg, maximum tumour uptake (8.9+/-2.9%ID/g) was observed in animals at 1 h post injection, with tumour-to-blood ratios as high as 6.3+/-1.9. Physiological CCK-B receptors in the stomach, gallbladder and pancreas of the mice were ...Continue Reading
