The effect of a combination of anti-transferrin receptor (TFR) antibody, 42/6, and Ga(No3)3 on cell growth was examined in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines: classic, NCl-H209, NCl-H345, NCl-H510; and variant, NCl-H82 and NCl-N417. The role of TFR and transferrin(TF) in Ga(No3)3 cellular uptake was also tested. Exogenous TF did not enhance the cytotoxicity of Ga. At 〉 3 μg/mL, Ga(No3)3 inhibited growth in all cell lines in TF-supplemented or deficient media. At 〈 3 μg/mL, Ga stimulated growth for all cells but this effect was eliminated by TF or 42/6. Classic SCLC lines required 3-4-fold less exogenous gallium than variant lines to reduce cell number by 50%. The mean Ga uptake (ng/106 cells) in H345 and H209 cell lines was 4-5-fold compared to H82 and N417 uptake (P 〈 0.001). 42/6 reduced exogenous TF-stimulated growth. Antibody plus Ga(No3)3 caused a slight further cell number decline in all cell lines in TF-supplemented or deficient media. These results suggest that the addition of 42/6 antibody treatment would not increase the effectiveness of Ga(No3)3 in patients. Both exogenous and endogenous TF and TFR play an important role in Ga uptake in these cells. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
