ObjectiveIncreased expression of sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) is required for reporter gene imaging and effective radioiodine treatment of tumor. We investigated whether increased accumulation of iodine can be induced by sodium butyrate through a newly developed baculoviral transfer of the human NIS (hNIS) gene in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma. MethodsA recombinant baculovirus [Bac–cytomegalovirus (CMV)–hNIS] encoding hNIS gene under the control of the CMV promoter was constructed. After A549 cells were transfected with Bac–CMV–hNIS in the presence of sodium butyrate, the expression of hNIS protein was detected by immunofluorescence and western blot analysis. The uptake and efflux of iodine were determined after the incubation of the transfected cells with 125I-iodide in the presence or absence of sodium butyrate. ResultsImmunocytochemical staining and western blot analysis showed increased hNIS protein expression in A549 cells transfected with Bac–CMV–hNIS after sodium butyrate treatment. Bac–CMV–hNIS transfected A549 cells accumulated up to about nine times more 125I than nontransfected cells; the amount of 125I uptake increased in a sodium butyrate in dose-dependent manner (P<0.001). However, rapid efflux of radioactivity was observed, with 50% lost during the first 2 min after 125I-containing medium had been replaced by a nonradioactive medium. ConclusionOur results indicated that an improved efficiency of baculovirus-mediated hNIS reporter gene imaging in lung adenocarcinoma is possible with treatment with sodium butyrate. However, additional conditions need to be defined to reduce the rapid efflux of radioiodine for the purpose of radionuclide therapy.
