Orthotopic pleural mesothelioma in mice: SPECT/CT and MR imaging with HER1- and HER2-targeted radiolabeled antibodies.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the potential of anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)1- and anti-HER2-targeted radiolabeled antibodies and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for imaging of orthotopic malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in mouse models.Animal studies with 165 mice were performed in accordance with National Institutes of Health guidelines for the humane use of animals, and all procedures were approved by the institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Flow cytometry studies were performed to evaluate HER1 and HER2 expression in NCI-H226 and MSTO-211H mesothelioma cells. Biodistribution and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) imaging studies were performed in mice (four or five per group, depending on tumor growth) bearing subcutaneous and orthotopic MPM tumors by using HER1- and HER2-targeted indium 111 ((111)In)- and iodine 125 ((125)I)-labeled panitumumab and trastuzumab, respectively. Longitudinal MR imaging over 5 weeks was performed in three mice bearing orthotopic tumors to monitor tumor growth and metastases. SPECT/CT/MR imaging studies were performed at the final time point in the orthotopic models (n = 3). The standard unpaired Student t test was used to compare groups.Orthotopic tumors and pleural effusions were clearly visualized at MR imaging 3 weeks after tumor cell inoculation. At 2 days after injection, the mean (111)In-panitumumab uptake of 29.6% injected dose (ID) per gram ± 2.2 (standard error of the mean) was significantly greater than the (111)In-trastuzumab uptake of 13.6% ID/g ± 1.0 and the (125)I-panitumumab uptake of 7.4% ID/g ± 1.2 (P = .0006 and P = .0001, respectively). MR imaging fusion with SPECT/CT provided more accurate information about (111)In-panitumumab localization in the tumor, as the tumor was poorly visualized at CT alone.This study demonstrates the utility of radiolabeled anti-HER1 antibodies in the imaging of MPM in preclinical models.http://radiology.rsna.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1148/radiol.12121021/-/DC1.

Project description:Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly lethal, poorly understood neoplasm that is typically associated with asbestos exposure. We performed transcriptional profiling using high-density oligonucleotide microarrays containing approximately 22,000 genes to elucidate potential molecular and pathobiological pathways in MPM using discarded human MPM tumor specimens (n=40), normal lung specimens (n=4), normal pleura specimens (n=5), and MPM and SV40-immortalized mesothelial cell lines (n=5). In global expression analysis using unsupervised clustering techniques, we found two potential subclasses of mesothelioma which correlate loosely with tumor histology. We also identified sets of genes with expression levels that distinguish between multiple tumor subclasses, normal and tumor tissues, and tumors with different morphologies. Microarray gene expression data were confirmed using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and protein analysis for three novel candidate oncogenes (NME2, CRI1, and PDGFC) and one candidate tumor suppressor (GSN). Finally, we used bioinformatics tools (i.e. software) to create and explore complex physiological pathways that may be relevant in mesothelioma tumorigenesis, pathobiology, or both. Tissues and cell lines profiled using microarrays. Discarded MPM surgical specimens (n=40), normal pleura specimens (n=5), and normal lung specimens (n=4) were freshly collected (and snap frozen) from patients who underwent surgery at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) between October 1998 and August 2000. All of these patients underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy with heated intra-pleural cisplatin chemotherapy delivered after the specimens were removed. All normal specimens were obtained from patients who were never diagnosed with MPM. Two human MPM cell lines (MS589 and MS428) were kindly provided by Jonathan A. Fletcher, M.D., Department of Pathology, BWH. The JMN1B MPM cell line19,20 has been described previously. The SV40-immortalized, non-tumorigenic mesothelial cell line (Met-5A)21 and the MPM cell line MSTO-211H22 were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection. Normal tissues were obtained from additional consented patients undergoing treatment for diseases other than MPM. All MPM samples used in these studies contained relatively pure tumor (greater than 50% tumor cells per high power field examined in a section adjacent to the tissue used). The microscopic slides from the patients' resection specimens were reviewed by one of the authors (J.G.), and the diagnosis and histologic subclassification of MPM confirmed in all cases. Linked clinical and pathological data were obtained for all patients who contributed tumor specimens. Specimens and data were rendered anonymous to protect patient confidentiality. Studies utilizing human tissues were approved by and conducted in accordance with the policies of the Institutional Review Board at BWH.
