The effects of metabolic inhibition on the uptake of 99mTc-teboroxime were assessed in cultured myocardial cells and compared with 201Tl and 99mTc-sestamibi. Metabolic impairment was induced by cyanide (CN), a blocker of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, iodoacetate (IAA), an inhibitor of the glycolytic pathway, and ouabain, an inhibitor of Na(+)-K+ sarcolemmal ATPase. Cellular viability was appreciated by the trypan blue exclusion method. The effects of low temperature and of cellular death resulting from osmotic lysis were also assessed. Net cellular uptake of the radiotracers and the amount of proteins in the culture dishes were measured. All experiments were performed in parallel with control conditions and the results were expressed relatively to the control values. Teboroxime uptake was clearly decreased at low temperature (29.6% +/- 2.2% at 0 degree C, p < 0.001), while metabolic inhibition or osmotic lysis had no definite effect. The uptake of 201Tl and sestamibi was severely diminished in the presence of a mixture of 5 mM CN and 0.1 mM IAA, but 201Tl was less resistant than sestamibi (13.7% +/- 0.3% and 73.5% +/- 3.3%, respectively, after 1 hr of preincubation, p < 0.001 for both). Uptake of both tracers was very low in the presence of dead cells (12.1% +/- 1.3% for 201Tl and 4.1% +/- 0.2% for sestamibi, p < 0.001 for both). Ouabain had a detrimental effect only on 201Tl uptake at doses higher than 100 microM. Of these three currently available coronary blood flow imaging agents, teboroxime shows the lowest sensitivity to metabolic impairment.
