RESUMEN

Gd chelates have occupied most of the market of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for decades. However, there have been some problems (nephrotoxicity, non-specificity, and low r1 ) that limit their applications. Herein, a wet-chemical method is proposed for facile synthesis of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) stabilized exceedingly small gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (ES-GON-PAA) with an excellent water dispersibility and a size smaller than 2.0 nm, which is a powerful T1 -weighted MRI contrast agent for diagnosis of diseases due to its remarkable relaxivities (r1 = 70.2 ± 1.8 mM-1 s-1 , and r2 /r1 = 1.02 ± 0.03, at 1.5 T). The r1 is much higher and the r2 /r1 is lower than that of the commercial Gd chelates and reported gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (GONs). Further ES-GON-PAA is developed with conjugation of RGD2 (RGD dimer) (i.e., ES-GON-PAA@RGD2) for T1 -weighted MRI of tumors that overexpress RGD receptors (i.e., integrin αv ß3 ). The maximum signal enhancement (ΔSNR) for T1 -weighted MRI of tumors reaches up to 372 ± 56% at 2 h post-injection of ES-GON-PAA@RGD2, which is much higher than commercial Gd-chelates (<80%). Due to the high biocompatibility and high tumor accumulation, ES-GON-PAA@RGD2 with remarkable relaxivities is a promising and powerful T1 -weighted MRI contrast agent.

RESUMEN

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) surface modification can make nanomaterials highly hydrophilic, reducing their sequestration in the reticuloendothelial system. In this study, polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers bearing gadolinium (Gd) chelates were PEGylated with different PEG-chain lengths, and the effects on paramagnetic and pharmacokinetic properties were evaluated. Specifically, Gd chelate-bearing PAMAM dendrimers (generations 4 and 5; G4 and G5) were conjugated with two different PEG chains (2 kDa and 5 kDa; 2k and 5k). Long PEG chains (5k) on the smaller (G4) dendrimer resulted in reduced relaxivity compared to non-PEGylated dendrimers, whereas short PEG chains (2k) on a larger (G5) dendrimer produced relaxivities comparable to non-PEGylated G4 dendrimers. The relaxivity of all PEGylated or lysine-conjugated dendrimers increased at higher temperature, whereas that of intact G4 Gd-PAMAM dendrimer decreased. All PEGylated dendrimers had minimal liver and kidney uptake and remained in circulation for at least 1 hour. Thus, surface-PEGylated Gd-PAMAM dendrimers showed decreased plasma clearance and prolonged retention in the blood pool. Shorter PEG, higher generation conjugates led to higher relaxivity. FROM THE CLINICAL EDITOR: In this study, polyamidoamine dendrimers bearing gadolinium (Gd) chelates were PEGylated with different PEG-chain lengths, and the effects on paramagnetic and pharmacokinetic properties were evaluated.

RESUMEN

We report in this communication a simple, facile surface modification strategy to transfer hydrophobic manganese oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) into water by using polyaspartic acid (PASP). We systematically investigated the effect of the size of PASP-MONPs on MRI of normal liver and found that the particles with a core size of 10 nm exhibited greater enhancement than those with larger core sizes.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To label mammalian and stem cells by combining commercially available transfection agents (TAs) with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three TAs were incubated with ferumoxides and MION-46L in cell culture medium at various concentrations. Human mesenchymal stem cells, mouse lymphocytes, rat oligodendrocyte progenitor CG-4 cells, and human cervical carcinoma cells were incubated 2-48 hours with 25 microg of iron per milliliter of combined TAs and SPIO. Cellular labeling was evaluated with T2 relaxometry, MR imaging of labeled cell suspensions, and Prussian blue staining for iron assessment. Proliferation and viability of mesenchymal stem cells and human cervical carcinoma cells labeled with a combination of TAs and ferumoxides were evaluated. RESULTS: When ferumoxides-TA or MION-46L-TA was used, intracytoplasmic particles stained with Prussian blue stain were detected for all cell lines with a labeling efficiency of nearly 100%. Limited or no uptake was observed for cells incubated with ferumoxides or MION-46L alone. For TA-SPIO-labeled cells, MR images and relaxometry findings showed a 50%-90% decrease in signal intensity and a more than 40-fold increase in T2s. Cell viability varied from 103.7% +/- 9 to 123.0% +/- 9 compared with control cell viability at 9 days, and cell proliferation was not affected by endosomal incorporation of SPIO nanoparticles. Iron concentrations varied with ferumoxides-TA combinations and cells with a maximum of 30.1 pg +/- 3.7 of iron per cell for labeled mesenchymal stem cells. CONCLUSION: Magnetic labeling of mammalian cells with use of ferumoxides and TAs is possible and may enable cellular MR imaging and tracking in experimental and clinical settings.
