BACKGROUND: The development of T-T dual contrast agent (CA) favors the visualization of the lesion in a more accurate and reliable manner by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The relaxivity and the interference between T and T CA are the main concerns for their design. METHODS: In this work, we constructed an FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO nanocomplex where BSA-GdO NPs and FeO NPs were chosen as T and T MRI CAs and a 20 nm mesoporous silica (mSiO) nanoshell was introduced to reduce the interference between them. We performed transmis sion electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, UV-vis absorption spectra, and Fourier transform infrared absorption (FTIR) spectra to characterize the prepared nanocom-plex and MRI scanning to evaluate their MRI behaviors. Furthermore, 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and hematologic and biochemical analyses were introduced to evaluate their in vitro and in vivo toxicity. Finally, the specific MRI of 786-0 cells with FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO-AS1411 nanoprobe in vitro was realized. In vivo biodistribution of FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO nanocomplex in the mouse was determined by the quantification of the Gd element by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. RESULTS: The prepared FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO nanocomplex possessed high longitudinal (=11.47 mM s Gd) and transverse (=195.1 mM s Fe) relaxivities, enabling its use as a T-T dual contrast agent for MRI. MTT testing and hematologic and biochemical analysis indicated the good biocompatibility of FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO nanocomplex in vitro and in vivo. After further conjugation with AS1411 aptamer, they could target tumor cells successfully by T and T MRI in vitro. The possible metabolic pathway of the tail vein-injected FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO nanocomplex in mouse was mainly via kidney. CONCLUSION: A T-T dual-mode contrast agent, FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO nano-complex, was developed and its good performance for tumor cell targeting in vitro and kidney contrast-enhanced MRI in mice indicated its promising potential as an effective T-T dual-mode contrast agent for in vivo MRI with self-confirmation.
背景:T-T 双对比剂(CA)的发展有利于通过磁共振成像(MRI)更准确、可靠地显示病变。弛豫率和 T 和 T CA 之间的干扰是其设计的主要关注点。
方法:在这项工作中,我们构建了一种 FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO 纳米复合物,其中选择 BSA-GdO NPs 和 FeO NPs 作为 T 和 T MRI CA,并引入 20nm 介孔硅(mSiO)纳米壳来减少它们之间的干扰。我们通过透射电子显微镜、X 射线粉末衍射、紫外可见吸收光谱和傅里叶变换红外吸收(FTIR)光谱对制备的纳米复合物进行了表征,并进行了 MRI 扫描以评估它们的 MRI 行为。此外,还引入了 3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-2,5-二苯基四氮唑溴盐(MTT)测定和血液学及血液生化分析,以评估其体外和体内毒性。最后,通过体外 786-0 细胞与 FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO-AS1411 纳米探针的特异性 MRI 实现了 FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO 纳米探针的特异性 MRI。通过电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)定量测定 Gd 元素,确定 FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO 纳米复合物在小鼠体内的分布。
结果:制备的 FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO 纳米复合物具有较高的纵向(=11.47mM s Gd)和横向(=195.1mM s Fe)弛豫率,可作为 T-T 双对比剂用于 MRI。MTT 测试和血液学及血液生化分析表明,FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO 纳米复合物在体外和体内具有良好的生物相容性。进一步与 AS1411 适配体偶联后,它们能够通过体外 T 和 T MRI 成功靶向肿瘤细胞。静脉注射 FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO 纳米复合物在小鼠体内的可能代谢途径主要通过肾脏。
结论:开发了一种 T-T 双模造影剂 FeO@mSiO/PDDA/BSA-GdO 纳米复合物,其在体外对肿瘤细胞靶向性和在小鼠肾脏增强 MRI 中的良好性能表明,它作为一种有效的 T-T 双模造影剂,具有自我证实的体内 MRI 应用潜力。
