目的:鉴定CD133^+-HepG2肝癌细胞的干细胞特性,然后通过^131I标记CD133单克隆抗体(^131I-CD133抗体),研究其在人肝癌HepG2细胞裸鼠模型体内的生物学分布及对移植肿瘤的放射免疫靶向性。方法:采用免疫磁珠法分选出人肝癌CD133^+-HepG2细胞,应用FCM法检测其CD133表达率,然后应用体外成球、克隆形成及体内成瘤实验鉴定其干细胞特性;采用氯胺T法制备^131I—CD133抗体,并鉴定其标记率、放化纯度、稳定性及细胞结合活性;建立HepG2肝癌裸鼠模型,向模型鼠尾静脉注射^131I—CD133抗体,2、12、24和48h时测量并计算模型鼠体内各组织器官的每克组织百分注射剂量率;同时采用同型^131I—IgG作为对照,比较24h时2种标记物在HepG2肝癌裸鼠模型体内的各组织生物分布及肿瘤/非肿瘤组织比值。结果:成功分选出人肝癌CD133^+-HepG2细胞,其CD133表达率为(93.58±3.74)%,并具有很强的体外成球、克隆形成及体内成瘤能力。^131I—CD133抗体的标记率为(86.95±1.16)%,放化纯度为98.07%;与血清孵育48h后,^131I—CD133抗体的放化纯度仍为(89.63±0.64)%;^131I—CD133抗体与CD133^+-HepG2细胞的结合率最高可达(69.30±0.69)%。^131I—CD133抗体注入HepG2肝癌裸鼠模型后,随着时间延长,包括肿瘤在内各组织器官的每克组织百分注射剂量率均降低;与^131I—IgG对照组相比,^131I—CD133抗体组在24h时的肿瘤放射性摄取量以及肿瘤/非肿瘤组织(除血液和胃)比值明显增加(P〈0.05)。结论:^131I—CD133抗体在裸鼠体内能有效结合CD133^+肝癌细胞,从而聚集在肿瘤组织中。推测CD133有可能成为肝癌治疗的新靶点。
Objective: To identify the stem cell characteristics of human hepatocellular carcinoma CD133-positive (CD133^+)-HepG2 cells, and to investigate the systemic distribution of ^131I-labeled anti- CD133 (^131I-CD1 33) antibody and their radio-immunotargeting in transplanted tumors of HepG2 cells in nude mice. Methods: Magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) method was used to sort CD133^+ cells from HepG2 cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD133 of the sorted cells. The stem cell properties of the sorted CD133^+-HepG2 cells were validated by in vitro sphere-forming assay and colony-formation assay and in vivo tumor formation experiment. ^131I-CD133 antibody was prepared using chloramine T method, and its labeling efficiency, radiochemical purity, stability and cell-binding property were measured. The HepG2 tumor-bearing nude mouse model was established and injected with ^131I-CD133 antibody via tail vein. The percentage of inJected dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) in major organs was calculated at 2, 12, 24, and 48 h after injection. Using isotype ^131I-IgG as a control, the biodistributions of these two labels in different organs/tissues and the tumor were compared, and a tumor/non-tumor (T/NT) ratio was calculated at 24 h after injection. Results: The CD133^+-HepG2 cells were successfully sorted with a CD133 expression rate of (93.58±3.74)% and had strong abilities of sphere-, colony- and tumor-formation in vivo. The labeling efficiency and the radiochemical purity of ^131I-CD133 antibody were (86.95±1.16)% and 98.07%, respectively. After incubation with serum for 48 h, the radiochemical purity of ^131I-CD133 antibody was similar [(89.63± 0.64)%] to the value before incubation. The binding rate of ^131I-CD133 antibody to CD133^+-HepG2 cells was up to (69.30±0.69)%. After intravenous injection of ^131I-CD133 antibody into HepG2 tumor-bearing mice, the %ID/g values of ^131I-CD133 antibody were reduced over time in different organs and tissu
