Abstract
Background: The formation of the complex interleukin-11(IL-11) and IL-11 receptor (IL-11R) is closely related with tumor progression. Binding of IL-11 to the IL-11 receptor α-chain (IL-11Rα) has been suggested as a target for human cancer. The cyclic peptide c(CGRRAGGSC) is a mimic of IL-11.
Objective: To explore 131I-Y-c(CGRRAGGSC) synthesis and radiosynthesis, and metabolism in SKOV3 tumorbearing mice.
Method: In this study, 131I labeled c(CGRRAGGSC) was designed and characterized. For radiolabeling, tyrosine was used as a linker to connect c(CGRRAGGSC) and 131I. Balb/c nude mice bearing SKOV3 human ovarian carcinoma were used for in vivo studies. Uptake of 131I-cyclic nonapeptide by the tumor was visualized by single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT).
Results: The entire labeling process, which took 15 min by chloramine-T method, resulted in a high labeling yield (93.03±6.78%), and high radiochemical purity (RCP) (>95%). SPECT imaging showed that accumulation of the probe in the tumor was close to background levels. In addition, biodistribution studies showed that the accumulation of 131I-Y-c(CGRRAGGSC) in normal mice was similar to that of Na131I.
Conclusion: Tyrosine is a suitable chelating agent for the use of radioiodine labeling, however the bioactivity of the conjugate needs further investigation.
Keywords: c(CGRRAGGSC), interleukin 11, ovarian cancer, SPECT, radiosynthesis, receptor.

Discovery of Lead compounds targeting transcriptional regulation
Transcriptional regulation plays key physiological functions in body growth and development. Transcriptional dysregulation is one of important biomarkers of tumor genesis and progression, which is involved in regulating tumor cell processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Additionally, it plays a pivotal role in angiogenesis and promotes tumor metastasis ...read more
Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
