| Abstract | The aim of this study was to introduce human somatostatin receptors subtype-2 (hsstr2) gene into A549 lung carcinoma cells in order to investigate the role of these receptors, and to observe the lethal effect of $^{131}$I-RC-160 (RC-160, vapreotide, an analog of somatostatin) on transfected cells through tumor scintigraphy. Clones overexpressing SSTR2 were selected for radioligand-receptor binding assay and assessment of $^{125}$I-RC-160 internalization. The methylthiazolyl tetrazolium test was used to observe the lethal effect of $^{131}$I-RC-160, Na$^{131}$I, and RC-160 on hSSTR2-transfected A549 cells (A549-hSSTR2). Planar imaging was performed with a gamma camera equipped with pinhole collimator in nude mice bearing both A549-hSSTR2 tumors overexpressing SSTR2 and A549-pcDNA3 (pcDNA3-transfected A549 cells) tumors as control. Images were obtained at 0.5, 6, and 24 h after injection of 3.7 × 10$^{6}$ Bq $^{99m}$Tc-RC-160 via the tail vein. The inhibitory effects of $^{131}$I-RC-160, RC-160, and Na$^{131}$I on the tumors were recorded by measuring the tumor volumes. At the end of the study, the tumors were excised and HE staining was performed. The binding radioactivity (sum of membrane-bound and internalized radioligand) of A549-hSSTR2 cells was 18.24 ± 1.9 % of total counts added after 1 h of incubation, and was higher than that of A549-pcDNA3 cells 5.7 ± 1.4 % (P < 0.05). The inhibition ratio of A549-hSSTR2 cells was 78.8 ± 5.9 %. Clear images of tumor lesions in nude mice were achieved at 0.5 h post injection. In the A549-hSSTR2 xenograft tumor group, the growth of the tumors treated with $^{131}$I-RC-160 was significantly inhibited as compared to tumors in the group treated with RC-160 (P < 0.01). This study demonstrated that it was possible to introduce hsstr2 to non-expressing tumor cell lines and treat tumors with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
