Abstract:

In vivo phage display was used to isolate tumor-targeting peptides. A cycloheptapeptide CSIHYPLSC(YC11) ligand targeting A549 human lung tumor was identified and radioiodinated. The labeled complex 131I-YC11 and 131I-NGR(control peptide) were isolated and purified by reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC). The radiochemical purity was estimated to be better than 99%. The biodistribution results of 131I-YC11 and control peptide 131I-NGR in mice bearing A549 tumor demonstrated that the tumor-to-blood, tumor-to-heart, tumor-to-lung and tumor-to-liver uptake ratios of 131I-YC11 were 0.62, 2.06, 1.11 and 0.81, respectively, and slightly higher than those of 131I-NGR. The uptake of 131I-YC11 in tumor was 2.79%ID/g, more than that of 131I-NGR(1.61%ID/g). 131I-YC11 was more concentrated in A549 tumor than 131I-NGR. Conclusively, YC11 could be a potential lung cancer targeting agent.
