Increased MIBG uptake after transfer of the human norepinephrine transporter gene in rat hepatoma

The Journal of Nuclear Medicine | June 1, 2003| | Copyright

The transport of MIBG by the human norepinephrine transporter (hNET) seems to be the critical step in the treatment of MIBG-concentrating tumors. Therefore, we investigated whether the accumulation of MIBG may be induced by retroviral transfection of the hNET gene in Morris hepatoma cells. Methods: A bicistronic retroviral vector for the transfer of the hNET coding sequence and the hygromycin resistance gene was generated. Morris hepatoma cells (MH3924A) were infected with the respective retroviral particles, and hNET-expressing cell lines MHhNEThyg1 to MHhNEThyg9 were obtained through ...
