Abstract:

Objective

To observe the effect of cetuximab in tumor with small animal PET/CT by establishing the xenogenous implant model of colorectal cancer in nude mice.

Methods

HCT116 and LIM1215 tumor-bearing nude mouse models were developed by subcutaneous implantation of HCT116 and LIM1215 cells into BALB/c-nu mice. The tumor models were divided into the control group and cetuximab treatment group (n=5), and to observe the growth of tumor. Then the tumor models were evaluated by small animal 18F-FDG PET/CT after one week, and we measured the maximum percentage injected dose per gram from tissue and organ at the same time.

Results

The uptake of 18F-FDG in tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues. Compared with control group, the 18F-FDG uptake rates of tumors/tissue or organ were generally lower in treatment group, which had significant difference in the ratio of tumor/neck, tumor/tumor and heart/liver (P=0.047、0.008、0.024). But the growth trends of tumor volume had no significant difference between treatment group and control group.

Conclusion

Small animal 18F-FDG PET/CT can monitor the change of glucose metabolism in tumor, while there is no obvious inhibitory effect in tumor growth with cetuximab treating xenogenous implant nude mice of colorectal cancer.
