Purpose: Met, an oncogene product and receptor tyrosine kinase, is a keystone molecule for malignant progression in solid human tumors. We are developing Met-directed imaging and therapeutic agents, including anti-Met monoclonal antibodies (MetSeek(TM)). In this study, we compared two antibodies, Met5 and Met3, for nuclear imaging of human and canine Met-expressing tumor xenografts in nude mice.Experimental Design: Xenografts representing cancers of three different human tissue origins and metastatic canine prostate cancer were raised s.c. in host athymic nude mice. Animals were injected i.v.. with I-125-Met5 or I-125-Met3, posterior total body gamma camera images were acquired for several days postinjection, and quantitative region-of-interest activity analysis was done.Results: PC-3, SK-LMS-1/HGF, and CNE-2 xenografts imaged with I-125-Met5 were compared with PC-3, SK-LMS-1/HGF, and DU145 xenografts imaged with I-125-Met3. Nuclear imaging contrast was qualitatively similar for I-125-Met5 and I-125-Met3 in PC-3 and SK-LMS-1/HGF host mice. However, by region-of-interest analysis, the set of human tumors imaged with I-125-Met3 exhibited a pattern of rapid initial tumor uptake followed by a continuous decline in activity, whereas the set of human tumors imaged with I-125-Met5 showed slow initial uptake, peak tumor-associated activity at 1 day postinjection, and persistence of activity in xenografts for at least 5 days. GN4 canine prostate cancer xenografts were readily imaged with I-125-Met5.Conclusions: We conclude that radioiodinated Met3 and Met5 offer qualitatively similar nuclear images in xenograft-bearing mice, but quantitative considerations indicate that Met5 might be more useful for radioimmunotherapy. Moreover, canine prostate cancer seems to be a suitable model for second-stage preclinical evaluation of Met5.
