Pharmacodynamic study of 131 I-labeled CA215 antibody on an animal model of estrogen-resistant OC-3-VGH ovarian cancer

The aim of the present study was to explore the inhibitory effect of I-labeled ovarian cancer antigen 215 ( I-CA215) antibody on human OC-3-VGH ovarian cancer. A subcutaneous transplanted tumor model of estrogen-resistant human OC-3-VGH ovarian cancer in nude mice was established. The model mice were randomly divided into seven groups, which were the negative control (NC), positive control (PC; 60 mg/kg cyclophosphamide), high-dose CA215 antibody (HA; 10 mg/kg), low-dose CA215 antibody (LA; 2 mg/kg), high-dose I-CA215 antibody ( I-HA; 10 mg/kg + 125 μCi), medium-dose I-CA215 antibody ( I-MA; 6 mg/kg + 75 μCi) and low-dose I-CA215 antibody ( I-LA; 2 mg/kg + 25 μCi) groups. Each group received intraperitoneal administration for 14 consecutive days. At 24 h after the final administration, the tumor was removed and weighed to calculate the tumor inhibition rate (TIR) and the relative tumor increase rate (T/C). Compared with the NC group, the HA group, as well as the I-HA and I-MA antibody groups, exhibited significantly inhibited tumor growth. The relative T/C values were 54, 30 and 48%, respectively, and the TIRs were 33.59, 64.89 and 45.80%, respectively. All differences were statistically significant. The difference between the HA and I-HA groups also presented statistical significance. CA215 and I-CA215 antibodies can markedly inhibit OC-3-VGH ovarian cancer. The high-dose I-CA215 antibody demonstrated a clear synergetic effect.
