Abstract
Background
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent primary bone cancer affecting both humans and canines. This study describes initial insights into the interaction of the human monoclonal antibody IF3 to an insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) radiolabeled with either alpha-emitting Actinium-225 (225Ac) or beta-emitting Lutetium-177 (177Lu) radionuclides with the OS cells and tumor microenvironment (TME) in experimental human and canine OS.
Basic procedures
SCID mice bearing canine Gracie or human OS-33 OS tumors were treated with 177Lu- or 225Ac-labeled IF3 antibody, sacrificed at 24, 72 or 168 h post-treatment and their tumors were analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the presence of OS cells, various elements of TME as well as for the double DNA strand breaks with γH2AX and caspase 3 assays.
Main findings
IHC revealed a reduction in IGF2R-positive OS cells and OS stem cell populations post therapy with 225Ac- and 177Lu-labeled IF3 antibody. Notably, radiolabeled IF3 antibody effectively diminished pro-tumorigenic M2 macrophages, highlighting its therapeutic promise. The study also unveiled varied responses of natural killer (NK) cells and M1 macrophages, shedding light on the intricate TME interplay. Time-dependent increase in γ-H2AX staining in canine Gracie and human OS-33 tumors treated with [177Lu]Lu-IF3 and [225Ac]Ac-IF3 was observed at 24 and 72 h post-RIT.
Principal conclusions
These findings suggest that radiolabeled antibodies offer a hopeful avenue for personalized OS treatment, emphasizing the importance of understanding their impact on the TME and potential synergies with immunotherapy.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine and Biology publishes original research addressing all aspects of radiopharmaceutical science: synthesis, in vitro and ex vivo studies, in vivo biodistribution by dissection or imaging, radiopharmacology, radiopharmacy, and translational clinical studies of new targeted radiotracers. The importance of the target to an unmet clinical need should be the first consideration. If the synthesis of a new radiopharmaceutical is submitted without in vitro or in vivo data, then the uniqueness of the chemistry must be emphasized.
These multidisciplinary studies should validate the mechanism of localization whether the probe is based on binding to a receptor, enzyme, tumor antigen, or another well-defined target. The studies should be aimed at evaluating how the chemical and radiopharmaceutical properties affect pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, or therapeutic efficacy. Ideally, the study would address the sensitivity of the probe to changes in disease or treatment, although studies validating mechanism alone are acceptable. Radiopharmacy practice, addressing the issues of preparation, automation, quality control, dispensing, and regulations applicable to qualification and administration of radiopharmaceuticals to humans, is an important aspect of the developmental process, but only if the study has a significant impact on the field.
Contributions on the subject of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals also are appropriate provided that the specificity of labeled compound localization and therapeutic effect have been addressed.
