Manganese-Enhanced MRI for Preclinical Evaluation of Retinal Degeneration Treatments.
PURPOSE Apply manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) to assess ion channel activity and structure of retinas from mice subject to light-induced retinal degeneration treated with prophylactic agents. METHODS Abca4(-/-)Rdh8(-/-) double knockout mice with and without prophylactic retinylamine (Ret-NH2) treatment were illuminated with strong light. Manganese-enhanced MRI was used t...
متن کاملMultiparametric MRI evaluation of kainic acid-induced neuronal activation in rat hippocampus.
We investigated the pathogenic mechanisms of hippocampal structural changes and neuronal activation in a kainic acid (KA)-treated rat model using non-invasive high-resolution diffusion-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging, and manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI). We found that high-resolution MRI can reveal KA-induced subtle lesions in hippocampus. The signal changes were fir...
متن کاملManganese enhanced MRI in rat hippocampus: A correlative study with synchrotron X-ray microprobe
Manganese enhanced MRI (MEMRI) offers many possibilities such as tract tracing and functional imaging in vivo. Mn is however neurotoxic and may induce symptoms similar to those associated with Parkinson's disease (manganism). The mechanisms of Mn-induced neurotoxicity are not clear. In this study, we combine synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microprobe (SR-XRF) and MEMRI techniques to investigate ...
متن کاملManganese-enhanced MRI reveals multiple cellular and vascular layers in normal and degenerated retinas.
PURPOSE To use manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) at 25 × 25 × 800 μm(3) to image different retinal and vascular layers in the rat retinas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Manganese-chloride was injected intraocularly in normal (n = 5) and Royal College of Surgeons (RCS, an model of photoreceptor degeneration) (n = 5) rats at postnatal day 90. MEMRI at 4.7 T was performed 24 hours la...
