Objective: Technetium-99m sestamibi (MIBI) has been utilized to evaluate multi-drug resistance (MDR) phenomenon of malignant tumors and to predict chemotherapeutic effects on them. The current investigation examined the possibility of monitoring changes with respect to mRNA expression of multi-drug resistance associated protein (MRP) following antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (AS-ODN) treatment involving Tc-99m-MIBI. Methods: The human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line and its MDR-induced MCF-7/VP cell line were employed. Cell suspensions of the two cell lines at I X 10(4) cells/ml were inoculated in 24-well plates (0.2 ml/well) and incubated for one day. Antisense (AS) 20-mer phosphorothioate ODN complementary to the coding region of MRP mRNA and its sense (S) ODN were administered at final concentrations up to 25 mu M, followed by a 5-day incubation. Tc-99m-MIBI solution was added to each well and incubated for 30 min. Cellular Tc-99m-MIBI uptake was corrected for protein concentration. MRP mRNA expression levels were analyzed via the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: Cellular uptake of Tc-99m-MIBI in MCF-7/VP cells was only 15% of that of MCF-7 cells. Following AS-ODN treatment at 25 mu M for five days, Tc-99m-MIBI uptake in MCF-7/VP cells increased 2.4-fold in comparison with non-treated control cells. Tc-99m-MIBI uptake in MCF-7 cells was unaffected by AS-ODN administration. Sense ODN did not alter uptake in either cell line. RT-PCR confirmed reduction of MRP mRNA in MCF-7/VP cells following AS-ODN treatment. Conclusion: Effects of AS-ODN administration on MRP function can be monitored via assessment of cellular uptake of Tc-99m-MIBI.
