177Lu标记的靶向CLDN18.2放射免疫药物制备及生物学评价

Preparation and Biological Evaluation of 177Lu-labeled Radioimmunoconjugate Targeting CLDN18.2

  • 摘要: CLDN18.2在胃癌、胰腺癌等多种实体瘤中具有特异性高表达,是近年来广受关注的新兴抗肿瘤药物靶点。本研究构建了一种靶向CLDN18.2的177Lu标记放射免疫治疗药物177Lu-DOTA-h1D6,并对其体外稳定性、荷瘤鼠体内生物分布、Micro-SPECT/CT显像性能及抗肿瘤药效进行了初步评价。采用双功能螯合剂(p-SCN-Bn-DOTA)修饰与CLDN18.2高度亲合的人源化单克隆抗体h1D6,采用放射性核素177Lu进行标记,经纯化后获得177Lu-DOTA-h1D6偶联物。结果表明,177Lu-DOTA-h1D6的放射化学纯度大于95%,脂水分配系数(lg D)为−3.16±0.09,亲水性良好。由体外稳定性结果可知,177Lu-DOTA-h1D6于37 ℃放置168 h,其放射化学纯度仍保持在95%以上,体外稳定性良好。荷瘤鼠生物分布结果显示,177Lu-DOTA-h1D6在BGC823CLDN18.2荷瘤鼠中靶向摄取迅速,4 h肿瘤摄取值达(14.59±2.23)%ID/g,72 h达峰值(47.73±14.90)%ID/g,且在240 h内((13.65±3.62)%ID/g)呈现持续特异性滞留;血液清除较快,靶与非靶比随时间显著升高。Micro-SPECT/CT显像及体内药效学结果显示,荷瘤鼠肿瘤病灶自24 h起明显放射性浓聚并持续显影至240 h;单次尾静脉给药(18.5 MBq)即可显著抑制荷瘤鼠的肿瘤生长,无明显全身毒性反应,进一步证实了该偶联物的体内靶向特异性及治疗有效性。本研究制备的靶向CLDN18.2的177Lu-DOTA-h1D6偶联物体外稳定性良好,体内靶向特异性较高且抑瘤效果显著,在CLDN18.2阳性肿瘤的放射免疫治疗中展现出潜在应用价值。

     

    Abstract: CLDN18.2 exhibits specific high expression in various solid tumors, such as gastric and pancreatic cancers, and has emerged as a widely investigated anti-tumor drug target in recent years. In this study, a 177Lu-labeled radioimmunotherapy agent targeting CLDN18.2, 177Lu-DOTA-h1D6, was constructed, and its in vitro stability, in vivo biodistribution in tumor-bearing mice, Micro-SPECT/CT imaging performance, and anti-tumor efficacy were preliminarily evaluated. The fully humanized monoclonal antibody h1D6 with high affinity for CLDN18.2 was modified with the bifunctional chelator (p-SCN-Bn-DOTA) and labeled with the radionuclide 177Lu. Gentisic acid was introduced into the reaction system as a radiostabilizer, and the 177Lu-DOTA-h1D6 conjugate was obtained after purification. The results show that the radiochemical purity (RCP) of 177Lu-DOTA-h1D6 is greater than 95%, and the partition coefficient (lg D) is −3.16±0.09, indicating good hydrophilicity. The in vitro stability results indicate that the RCP remains above 95% after 168 h of incubation at 37 ℃, demonstrating good in vitro stability. The biodistribution results in tumor-bearing mice show that 177Lu-DOTA-h1D6 is rapidly and specifically taken up in BGC823CLDN18.2 xenografts. The tumor uptake reaches (14.59±2.23)%ID/g at 4 h, peaks at (47.73±14.90)%ID/g at 72 h, and exhibits continuous specific retention within 240 h ((13.65±3.62)%ID/g). The clearance from blood is relatively fast, and the target-to-non-target ratio increases significantly over time. Micro-SPECT/CT imaging and in vivo pharmacodynamics results demonstrate distinct radioactive accumulation in the tumor lesions starting from 24 h and continuous visualization up to 240 h. A single intravenous injection (18.5 MBq) significantly inhibits tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice without obvious systemic toxicity, further confirming the in vivo targeting specificity and therapeutic efficacy of 177Lu-DOTA-h1D6. The 177Lu-DOTA-h1D6 prepared in this study exhibits good in vitro stability, high in vivo targeting specificity, and significant anti-tumor effects, showing potential application value in the radioimmunotherapy of CLDN18.2-positive tumors.
