UNLABELLED: Targeting the folate receptor (alpha-FR) with radiolabeled folates for the noninvasive diagnosis and therapy of alpha-FR-overexpressing neoplastic tissue is of great interest. However, the tumor uptake of folate-based radiotracers was shown to be low compared with the high renal retention of radioactivity attributable to alpha-FR expression in the proximal tubule cells. In order to increase the tumor uptake of radiofolates, we wanted to stimulate alpha-FR expression or transport through coapplication of the antifolates methotrexate (MTX), raltitrexed (RTX), and pemetrexed (PMX).
METHODS: (99m)Tc-picolylamine monoacetic acid folate ((99m)Tc-PAMA-folate) was used for these studies. The in vitro experiments with antifolates were performed with alpha-FR-positive KB cancer cells. In vivo experiments were performed with KB tumor-bearing athymic nude mice. In vivo images were acquired with a small-animal SPECT/CT scanner.
RESULTS: KB cells incubated with solutions (10 micro mol/L) of MTX, RTX, or PMX for 24 h displayed twice as much (99m)Tc-PAMA-folate uptake as untreated cells. In contrast, KB tumor-bearing mice that received MTX intravenously 24 h before (99m)Tc-PAMA-folate showed significantly lower uptake of the radiofolate in tumors (1.35 +/- 0.33 percentage injected dose per gram of tissue [%ID/g] [mean +/- SD]) and the alpha-FR-positive kidneys (9.35 +/- 1.73 %ID/g) than did control mice (2.33 +/- 0.36 and 18.48 +/- 0.72 %ID/g, respectively, at 4 h after injection). When the antifolate PMX and (99m)Tc-PAMA-folate were injected 1 h apart, the tumor uptake of the radiotracer was unaffected (2.21 +/- 0.34 %ID/g at 4 h after injection), whereas radioactivity in the kidneys was significantly decreased (1.14 +/- 0.18 %ID/g at 4 h after injection). In vivo SPECT/CT studies demonstrated the specific accumulation of (99m)Tc-PAMA-folate in tumors and almost a complete absence of radioactivity in the renal tissue of mice preinjected with PMX.
CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that the preadministration of antifolates improves tumor-to-kidney ratios of radiofolates and opens a "therapeutic window" for folates radiolabeled with particle-emitting nuclides, which could otherwise be nephrotoxic.
