Objective: CSL360 is a chimeric IgG1 mAb recognizing CD123+/CD131- LSCs responsible for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The in vitro targeting properties of 111In-labeled CSL360 modified with nuclear localization sequence (NLS) were evaluated in AML cells. Methods: 111In-NLS-CSL360 was constructed and its binding affinity, cellular uptake and nuclear importation were analyzed on CD123+ cells. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by clonogenic assays on AML cells (CD123+/CD131-). Results: 111In-NLS-CSL360 exhibited preserved binding to CD123. High cellular and nuclear uptake was observed at 266 nM after 24 hour of incubation. Nuclear uptake of 111In-NLS-CSL360 (266 nM) was 2.0-fold higher than 111In-CSL360 (266 nM) after 24 hour of incubation. Clonogenic survival (CS) of AML cells was reduced to 27.5 ± 4.1%. The nuclear uptake and cytotoxicity were reduced when pre-exposed to unlabeled CSL360, indicating 111In-NLS-CSL360 was CD123-specific. Conclusion: 111In-NLS-CSL360 could be a promising radioimmunotherapeutic agent specific for LSCs.
