| Summary: | The aim of this study is to determine the percentage uptake of different tracer
by the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7), hence finding the optimum condition for the
cells to absorb the radiopharmaceuticals. In addition, this study is to investigate the
number of cell viable for different radioactivity with different type of tracers used. In
the other hand, this study also to show the reliability and applicability of well counter in
measuring different activity of tracer. 100k number of MCF-7 cell lines were prescribed with 100, 200, 300, 400,
and 500 µCi of 99mTc-MDP, 99mTc-DTPA and 99mTc04 inside 6-well plate and
incubated for an hour at 37°C. After the incubation finished, the cells were washed with
phosphate buffer saline solution (PBS) to remove the extracellular tracers (99n'Tc-MDP,99mTc-DTPA and 99mTc04') suspended in the cell media, leaving cells monolayer to
detach them from the well's bottom, so that the cells can be transferred into centrifuge
tubes. Trypsine was added into the cell monolayers to detach the from the well's bottom.
The measurement of activity of the cells and the washed media were taken by using
well-counter. The percentage uptake of 99mTc-MDP, 99mTc-DTPA and 99mTcOf into
cells was calculated and analyzed. Both 99mTc-DTPA and 99mTc-MDP shows the same pattern of
percent intercellular uptake. While, TcO4 shows different pattern of percent intercellular
uptake. All of the tracers (99mTc-MDP, 99mTc-DTPA and 99mTc04) have optimum
uptake in the range of 200 µCi to 400 µCi. The percentage uptake of 99mTc-MDP,
99mTc-DTPA and 99mTc04 are 66.04%, 65.91% and 44.06%,. The number of cell viable
(cell count/mL) for each tracer was found to be reduced as the activity increased. It was highlighted that different radioactivity used (µCi) give different
intercellular uptake measured from each tracer. Different radioactivity used (µCi) also
affected the number of cell viability for each tracer. In future, for study of cell uptake by
using well-counter with wipe test software is not so applicable as it show high
sensitivity toward low radioactivity. The acceptance counting activities is up to
approximately 37 kBq. |
