Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is a potent mitogen for many tumor cell lines, and IGF-I receptors are overexpressed in many tumors. Specific IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) modulate the interaction of IGF and its receptors. Consequently, radiolabeled IGF-I has been considered for tumor imaging. In the present study, we investigated the biodistribution of 125I-labeled des(1-3)IGF-I, a truncated analogue of IGF-I, in tumor-bearing nude mice. Additional studies included its catabolism by tumor cells in vitro and its binding to serum IGFBPs in vivo in nude mice. We also compared groups that were and were not injected with unlabeled peptide analogue. Our data showed that 125I-labeled des(1-3)IGF-I catabolized very fast, with a rapid appearance of nonprecipitable iodine, when incubated at 37 degrees C, but it was not catabolized at 4 degrees C incubation. 125I-labeled des(1-3)IGF-I was bound to serum-binding proteins, mainly in a complex with a molecular weight of M(r) 150,000. The uptake of radioactivity in normal tissues decreased quickly with time, particularly in the kidneys. In mice receiving higher doses of des(1-3)IGF-I, the radioactivity in all normal tissues was lower than in the mice with no carrier-added des(1-3)IGF-I, except in the stomach and spleen. These data suggest that 125I-labeled des(1-3)IGF-I is rapidly internalized after binding to the IGF receptor and is rapidly catabolized with release of breakdown products. Lower specific activity of 125I-labeled des(1-3)IGF-I resulted in altered biodistribution, including faster blood clearance and higher tumor uptake, by decreasing the formation of complexes with IGFBPs.
