Abstract
Background : Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that immunotherapy has effectively delayed tumor progression, and the clinical outcomes of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy were related to PD-L1 expression level in the tumors. A 131 I-labeled anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody tracer, 131 I-PD-L1-Mab, was developed to study the target ability of non-invasive Cerenkov luminescence imaging in colorectal cancer xenograft mice.Method: Anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody labeled with 131 I( 131 I-PD-L1-Mab), and in vitro binding assays were used to evaluate the affinity of 131 I-PD-L1-Mab to PD-L1 and their binding level to different colorectal cancer cells, and compared with flow cytometry, western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence staining. The clinical application value of 131 I-PD-L1-Mab was evaluated through biodistribution and Cerenkov luminescence imaging, and different tumor-bearing models expressing PD-L1 were evaluated.Results: 131 I-PD-L1-Mab showed high affinity to PD-L1, and the equilibrium dissociation constant was 1.069×10 -9 M. The competitive inhibition assay further confirmed the specific binding ability of 131 I-PD-L1-Mab. In four different tumor-bearing models with different PD-L1 expression, the biodistribution and Cerenkov luminescence imaging showed that the RKO tumors demonstrated the highest uptake of the tracer 131 I-PD-L1-Mab, with a maximum uptake of 1.613 ± 0.738% ID/g at 120 h.Conclusions: There is a great potential for 131 I-PD-L1-Mab noninvasive Cerenkov luminescence imaging to assess the status of tumor PD-L1 expression and select patients for anti-PD-L1 targeted therapy.
