Abstract ChiTn, a mouse/human chimeric anti-Tn monoclonal antibody, was radiolabeled with iodine-131 (131I) and technetium-99m (99mTc) to assess its biodistribution and internalization in Tn-expressing (Tn+) and wild-type (Tn-) LL/2 lung cancer cells. Selective accumulation and gradual internalization of ChiTn were observed in Tn + cells. Biodistribution in mice with both Tn + or Tn- lung tumors indicated that the uptake of radiolabeled ChiTn within tumors increased over time. Dual-labeling experiments with 99mTc and 131I showed different biodistribution patterns, with 99mTc exhibiting higher values in the liver, spleen, and kidneys, while 131I showed higher uptake in the thyroid and stomach. However, tumor uptake did not significantly differ between Tn + and Tn- tumors. To improve tumor targeting, Losartan, an antihypertensive drug known to enhance tumor perfusion and drug delivery, was investigated. Biodistribution studies in Losartan-treated mice revealed significantly higher radiolabeled ChiTn uptake in Tn + tumors. No significant changes were observed in the uptake of the control molecule IgG-HYNIC-99mTc. These findings demonstrate the enhanced tumor targeting of radiolabeled ChiTn in Losartan-treated mice with Tn-expressing lung tumors. They highlight the potential of ChiTn as a theranostic agent for cancer treatment and emphasize the importance of Losartan as an adjunctive treatment to improve tumor perfusion and drug delivery.
