UNLABELLED: Because 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) appears to be a potent candidate for multidrug resistance (MDR) evaluation in tumors, its cellular uptake should be similar to that of 3H-daunomycin in a variety of conditions of expression and inhibition of MDR activity. METHODS: We used a human rhinopharyngeal carcinoma cell line (KB-3-1) and its MDR variant (KB-A1). Cells were incubated 2 h with 99mTc-MIBI and 3H-daunomycin under control conditions or in the presence of a reversing agent such as verapamil (10 pmol/L), PSC833 (1 micromol/L) or S9788 (5 micromol/L). RESULTS: Relative to the KB-3-1-sensitive cells, accumulations of 99mTc-MIBI and 3H-daunomycin were reduced to 31% +/- 5% and 36% +/- 11% (P < 0.001 for both) in KB-A1-resistant cells. In sensitive cells, accumulation of both agents was increased by verapamil and PSC833 (range 115%-140%; P < 0.05) but not by S9788. In KB-A1 cells, only S9788 significantly increased the cellular uptake of 99mTc-MIBI (138% +/- 25%; P < 0.01), whereas the intracellular uptake of 3H-daunomycin was markedly increased with the three reversing agents (up to 311% +/- 37% with S9788; P < 0.001). With this last treatment, uptake of 3H-daunomycin in KB-A1 cells nearly returned to its basal level in sensitive cells. CONCLUSION: 99mTc-MIBI monitors the MDR phenotype of tumor cells effectively but responds to reversing agents differently than 3H-daunomycin.
