In vivo imaging with a cell-permeable porphyrin-based MRI contrast agent.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with molecular probes offers the potential to monitor physiological parameters with comparatively high spatial and temporal resolution in living subjects. For detection of intracellular analytes, construction of cell-permeable imaging agents remains a challenge. Here we show that a porphyrin-based MRI molecular imaging agent, Mn-(DPA-C(2))(2)-TPPS(3), effectivel...
متن کاملA novel MRI contrast agent synthesized by ion exchange method
Objective: In this study, the zeolite-coated iron oxide nanoparticles were evaluated as MRI contrast agent and effect of the nanocomposite synthesis method on MRI contrast was tested. Materials and Methods: Ion exchange method was used for synthesis of iron oxide-zeolite and the as prepared nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, FESEM and TEM. The nanocomposite toxicity in the cell culture, a...
متن کاملReceptor-mediated Uptake of an Enzyme-activated Mri Contrast Agent
In recent report (Nature Biotechnology 2000, 16:321-325) we presented a new approach for obtaining high resolution in vivo images of gene expression using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We prepared MRI contrast agents in which the access of water to the fust coordination sphere of a chelated paramagnetic ion is blocked with a galactopyranose residue that can he cleaved by beta-galactosidase,...
متن کاملA self-calibrating PARACEST MRI contrast agent that detects esterase enzyme activity.
The CEST effect of many PARACEST MRI contrast agents changes in response to a molecular biomarker. However, other molecular biomarkers or environmental factors can influence CEST, so that a change in CEST is not conclusive proof for detecting the biomarker. To overcome this problem, a second control CEST effect may be included in the same PARACEST agent, which is responsive to all factors that ...
متن کاملA responsive MRI contrast agent to monitor functional cell status.
It has been shown that insoluble Gd chelates are suitable MRI contrast agents for conditional activation by intracellular lipases. The DTPA-based, insoluble, inactive contrast agent was internalized into dendritic cells by phagocytosis. Cleavage of long aliphatic side chains by intracellular lipase activity leads to the contrast agents solubility and hereby its activation depending on the enzym...
