The phenomenon of a hundredfold more rapid blood clearance of biotinylated immunoglobulins after post-injection of an equiponderate dose of avidin is described. The concentration of 125I-labeled biotinylated IgG in rat circulation slowly decreased to 20% of the initial level in 24 hours. Avidin injection at any moment of this period induced a 90-95% reduction of blood radioactivity in 15 minutes. Up to 70% of the radioactivity was recovered in the liver. The technique of enhanced blood clearance developed in rats was checked in dogs using biotinylated monoclonal anti-human fibrinogen antibodies, capable of concentrating in dog thrombus. The results obtained offer the possibility of thrombus/blood contrast increase in radioimmunoimaging. 相似文献

Biodegradable PEGylated Gd-DTPA l-cystine copolymers, PEG-g-poly(GdDTPA-co-l-cystine), were prepared and tested as a blood pool contrast agent in mice. The biodegradable macromolecular agent was designed to be broken down into smaller Gd complexes by endogenous thiols via the disulfide-thiol exchange reaction to facilitate the clearance of Gd complexes after the contrast-enhanced MRI examination. Gd-DTPA l-cystine copolymers were synthesized by condensation polymerization of l-cystine and DTPA-dianhydride in water followed by chelating with Gd(OAc)(3). MPEG-NH(2) (MW = 2000) was then conjugated to the polymeric backbone in different ratios. The macromolecular contrast agent was readily degraded with the incubation of l-cysteine. It also demonstrated superior contrast enhancement in the heart and blood vessels as compared to a low molecular weight control agent, Gd-(DTPA-BMA). At 1 h postcontrast, the PEGylated macromolecular agent still showed prominent enhancement, while little contrast enhancement was detectable in the blood pool by the control agent. PEG-g-poly(GdDTPA-co-l-cystine) shows promise as an MR blood pool imaging agent. 相似文献

The aim of the study was a comparison of 2 novel macromolecular contrast agents, Gadomer-17 and Polylysine-Gd-DTPA, with commercially available Gd-DTPA in determining the quality of tumor microvasculature by dynamic contrast enhanced MRI. Three groups of 5 mice with SA-1 tumors were studied. To each group of animals one contrast agent was administered; i.e. the first group got Gd-DTPA, the second group Gadomer-17 and the third group Polylysine-Gd-DTPA. To perform dynamic contrast enhanced MRI a standard keyhole approach was used by which consecutive signal intensity change due to contrast agent accumulation in the tumor was measured. From the obtained data, tissue permeability surface area product PS and fractional blood volume BV were calculated on a pixel-by-pixel basis. PS and BV values were calculated for each contrast agent. Based on the values, contrast agents were classified according to their performance in characterizing tumor microvasculature. Results of our study suggest that Gadomer-17 and Polylysine-Gd-DTPA are significantly superior to Gd-DTPA in characterizing tumor microvasculature. 相似文献

Macromolecular Gd(III) chelates are superior magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for blood pool and tumor imaging. However, their clinical development is limited by the safety concerns related to the slow excretion and long-term gadolinium tissue accumulation. A generation 6 PAMAM Gd(III) chelate conjugate with a cleavable disulfide spacer, PAMAM-G6-cystamine-(Gd-DO3A), was prepared as a biodegradable macromolecular MRI contrast agent with rapid excretion from the body. T(1) and T(2) relaxivities of the contrast agent were 11.6 and 13.3 mM(-1)sec(-1) at 3T, respectively. Blood pool and tumor contrast enhancement of the agent were evaluated in female nude mice bearing MDA-MB-231 human breast carcinoma xenografts with a nondegradable conjugate PAMAM-G6-(Gd-DO3A) as a control. PAMAM-G6-cystamine-(Gd-DO3A) resulted in significant contrast enhancement in the blood for about 5 mins, and Gd-DO3A was released from the conjugate and rapidly excreted via renal filtration after the disulfide spacer was cleaved. The nondegradable control had much longer blood circulation and excreted more slowly from the body. PAMAM-G6-cystamine-(Gd-DO3A) also resulted in more prominent tumor contrast enhancement than the control. However, PAMAM-G6-cystamine-(Gd-DO3A) demonstrated high toxicity due to the intrinsic toxicity of PAMAM dendrimers. In conclusion, although PAMAM-G6-cystamine-(Gd-DO3A) showed some advantages compared with the nondegradable control, PAMAM dendrimers are not suitable carriers for biodegradable macromolecular MRI contrast agents, due to their high toxicity. 相似文献

The study of in vivo developmental events has undergone significant advances with the advent of biological molecular imaging techniques such as computer enhanced light microscopy imaging, positron emission tomography (PET), micro-CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI has proven to be a particularly powerful tool in clinical and biological settings. Images can be acquired of opaque living animals, with the benefit of tracking events of extended periods of time on the same specimen. Contrast agents are routinely used to enhance regions, tissues, and cells that are magnetically similar but histologically distinct. A principal barrier to the development of MR contrast agents for investigating developmental biological questions is the ability to deliver the agent across cellular membranes. As part of our research, we are investigating a number of small molecules that facilitate transport of charged and uncharged species across cell membranes. Here we describe the synthesis and testing of a Gd(III)-based MR contrast agent conjugated to polyarginine that is able to permeate cell membranes. We confirmed cellular uptake of the agent using two-photon laser microscopy to visualize a Eu(III) derivative of the contrast agent in cell culture, and verified this uptake by T1

The objective of this study was to compare the blood pool agent Gadomer with a small contrast agent for the visualization of ultra-small, collateral arteries (diameter<1 mm) with high resolution steady-state MR angiography (SS-MRA) in a rabbit hind limb ischemia model. Ten rabbits underwent unilateral femoral artery ligation. On days 14 and 21, high resolution SS-MRA (voxel size 0.49×0.49×0.50 mm3) was performed on a 3 Tesla clinical system after administration of either Gadomer (dose: 0.10 mmol/kg) or a small contrast agent (gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA), dose: 0.20 mmol/kg). All animals received both contrast agents on separate days. Selective intra-arterial x-ray angiograms (XRAs) were obtained in the ligated limb as a reference. The number of collaterals was counted by two independent observers. Image quality was evaluated with the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in the femoral artery and collateral arteries. CNR for Gadomer was higher in both the femoral artery (Gadomer: 73±5 (mean ± SE); Gd-DTPA: 40±3; p<0.01) and collateral arteries (Gadomer: 18±4; Gd-DTPA: 9±1; p = 0.04). Neither day of acquisition nor contrast agent used influenced the number of identified collateral arteries (p = 0.30 and p = 0.14, respectively). An average of 4.5±1.0 (day 14, mean ± SD) and 5.3±1.2 (day 21) collaterals was found, which was comparable to XRA (5.6±1.7, averaged over days 14 and 21; p>0.10). Inter-observer variation was 24% and 18% for Gadomer and Gd-DTPA, respectively. In conclusion, blood pool agent Gadomer improved vessel conspicuity compared to Gd-DTPA. Steady-state MRA can be considered as an excellent non-invasive alternative to intra-arterial XRA for the visualization of ultra-small collateral arteries. 相似文献

A new class of dye-based MRI contrast agents, EB-DTPA-Gd, was designed and synthesized. The contrast agent was found to accumulate at the site of endothelial injury when the reagent was applied to isolated porcine blood vessels or in an ex vivo experiment using rat. In vivo MR detection of vascular endothelial injury was also successful in rat with its common carotid artery injured by balloon treatment. These results indicate that EB-DTPA-Gd is potentially useful for the diagnosis of vascular diseases. 相似文献

A novel conjugate of a polysaccharide and a Gd(III) chelate with potential as contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was synthesized. The structure of the chelate was derived from H5DTPA by replacing the central pendant arm by a phosphinic acid functional group, which was covalently bound to the polysaccharide inulin. On the average, each monosaccharide unit of the inulin was attached to approximately one (0.9) chelate moiety. The average molecular weight is 23110 and the average number of Gd3+ ions per molecule is 24. The ligand binds the Gd3+ ion in an octadentate fashion via three nitrogen atoms, four carboxylate oxygen atoms, and one P-O oxygen atom, and its first coordination sphere is completed by a water molecule. This compound shows promising properties for application as a contrast agent for MRI thanks to a favorable residence lifetime of this water molecule (170 ns at 298 K), a relatively long rotational correlation time (866 ps at 298 K), and the presence of two water molecules in the second coordination sphere of the Gd3+ ion. Furthermore, its stability toward transmetalation with Zn(II) is as high as that of the clinically used [Gd(DTPA)(H2O)]2-. 相似文献

We report the development of functionalized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with a PEG-modified, phospholipid micelle coating, and their delivery into living cells. The size of the coated particles, as determined by dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy, was found to be between 12 and 14 nm. The PEG-phospholipid coating resulted in high water solubility and stability, and the functional groups of modified PEG allowed for bioconjugation of various moieties, including a fluorescent dye and the Tat peptide. Efficient delivery of the functionalized nanoparticles into living cells was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy, relaxation time measurements, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This demonstrates the feasibility of using functionalized magnetic nanoparticles with uniform (~10 nm) sizes as an MRI contrast agent for intracellular molecular imaging in deep tissue. These micelle-coated iron oxide nanoparticles offer a versatile platform for conjugation of a variety of moieties, and their small size confers advantages for intracellular molecular imaging with minimal perturbation.Abbreviations CPP cell penetrating peptide - CPMG Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill spin-echo method - CTAB cetyltrimethylammonium bromide - DLS dynamic light scattering - DMEM Dulbeccos modified Eagles medium - DSPE 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine - FCS fetal calf serum - FGM-2 fibroblast growth medium 2 - HDF human dermal fibroblast - HS horse serum - MDBK Madin–Darby bovine kidney - MIONs superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles - mMIONs micelle-coated MIONs - MRI magnetic resonance imaging - PBS phosphate-buffered saline - PEG poly(ethylene glycol) - SPDP N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate - TCEP tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride - TEM transmission electron microscopy 相似文献

The ligand DOTASA was designed and synthesized in the aim of obtaining a kinetically and thermodynamically stable Gd(III)
chelate which, through its uncoordinated carboxylate function, will provide an efficient pathway to couple the complex to
bio- or macromolecules without affecting the coordination pattern of DOTA. Furthermore, it allows us to study the influence
of an extra carboxylate arm on the parameters determining proton relaxivity in comparison to the commercial agent [Gd(DOTA)(H2O)]–. A combined variable-temperature 17O NMR, EPR and nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion study on the Gd(III) chelate resulted in k

R=125±2 ps for the rotational correlation time. The slight increase in both k
298
ex and τ298
R, as compared to those for [Gd(DOTA)(H2O)]–, is attributed to the presence of the extra negative charge. The longer rotational correlation time results in a proton relaxivity
of 5.03 mM–1 s–1 for [Gd(DOTASA)(H2O)]2–, which is approximately 30% higher than that for [Gd(DOTA)(H2O)]–. The increased water exchange rate of [Gd(DOTASA)(H2O)]2– has no consequence for proton relaxivity since this latter is exclusively limited by fast rotation for both complexes. However,
for slowly rotating macromolecular agents, which contain a covalently coupled DOTASA unit instead of a coupled DOTA, this
increased exchange rate will have a significant positive effect.

The majority of clinically used contrast agents (CAs) for magnetic resonance imaging have low relaxivities and thus require high concentrations for signal enhancement. Research has turned to multivalent, macromolecular CAs to increase CA efficiency. However, previously developed macromolecular CAs do not provide high relaxivities, have limited biocompatibility, and/or do not have a structure that is readily modifiable to tailor to particular applications. We report a new family of multivalent, biomacromolecular, genetically engineered protein polymer-based CAs; the protein backbone contains evenly spaced lysines that are derivatized with gadolinium (Gd(III)) chelators. The protein's length and repeating amino acid sequence are genetically specified. We reproducibly obtained conjugates with an average of 8-9 Gd(III) chelators per protein. These multivalent CAs reproducibly provide a high relaxivity of 7.3 mM (-1) s (-1) per Gd(III) and 62.6 mM (-1) s (-1) per molecule. Furthermore, they can be incorporated into biomaterial hydrogels via chemical cross-linking of the remaining free lysines, and provide a dramatic contrast enhancement. Thus, these protein polymer CAs could be a useful tool for following the evolution of tissue engineering scaffolds. 相似文献

Reproducible enrichment of extracellular heat shock proteins from blood serum using monomeric avidin
Extracellular heat shock proteins (eHsps) in blood circulation have been associated with various diseases, including cancer. However, the lack of methods to enrich eHsps from serum samples has hampered the characterization of eHsps. This Letter presents our serendipitous finding that the monomeric avidin resin can serve as an affinity resin to enrich eHsps from blood serum. Biochemical mechanism of this eHsp enrichment as well as implications in biomarker discovery is discussed. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on the endothelium of bloodvessels in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli is of major importance for the regulation oflocal inflammation in cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarctionand stroke. In vivo molecular imaging of ICAM-1 will improve diagnosis and follow-up ofpatients by non-invasive monitoring of the progression of inflammation. RESULTS: A paramagnetic liposomal contrast agent functionalized with anti-ICAM-1 antibodies formultimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorescence imaging of endothelialICAM-1 expression is presented. The ICAM-1-targeted liposomes were extensivelycharacterized in terms of size, morphology, relaxivity and the ability for binding to ICAM-1-expressing endothelial cells in vitro. ICAM-1-targeted liposomes exhibited strong binding toendothelial cells that depended on both the ICAM-1 expression level and the concentration ofliposomes. The liposomes had a high longitudinal and transversal relaxivity, which enableddifferentiation between basal and upregulated levels of ICAM-1 expression by MRI. Theliposome affinity for ICAM-1 was preserved in the competing presence of leukocytes andunder physiological flow conditions. CONCLUSION: This liposomal contrast agent displays great potential for in vivo MRI of inflammation-relatedICAM-1 expression. 相似文献

Comparison of a tartaric acid derived polymeric MRI contrast agent to a small molecule model chelate
Contrast agents with high relaxivity are needed to increase the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for novel clinical and research applications. For this reason, polymeric structures containing multiple Gd(III) chelates are of current interest. Described in this communication are the syntheses and characterization of a glycopolymer derived from L-tartaric acid, Gd 4(H2O), as well as a low molecular weight compound, Gd 10(H2O), that models the Gd(III) chelate structure in the repeat unit of polymer Gd 4(H2O). Luminescence lifetime measurements in H2O and D2O for Eu(III) analogues of Gd 4(H2O) and Gd 10(H2O) [named Eu 4(H2O) and Eu 10(H2O)] reveal that the lanthanide in both structures likely has one water ligand in the primary coordination sphere. The relaxivity of the model chelate Gd 10(H 2O) at 400 MHz and 310 K was determined to be 4.7 mmol (-1).s (-1), representing a nearly 50% increase over Magnevist (3.2 mmol (-1).s (-1)). Relaxivity values on a per Gd basis for the polymeric structure Gd 4(H2O) prepared at two degrees of polymerization, n = 12 and 19, are similar, but slightly lower than Gd 10(H2O) (4.4 mmol (-1).s (-1) and 4.5 mmol (-1).s (-1), respectively). However, their molecular relaxivities of 51 mmol (-1).s (-1) and 80 mmol (-1).s (-1), respectively, provide a substantial increase over that of Magnevist. 相似文献

Sudden fibrous cap disruption of 'high-risk' atherosclerotic plaques can trigger the formation of an occlusive thrombus in coronary arteries, causing acute coronary syndromes. High-risk atherosclerotic plaques are characterized by their specific cellular and biological content (in particular, a high density of macrophages), rather than by their impact on the vessel lumen. Early identification of high-risk plaques may be useful for preventing ischemic events. One major hurdle in detecting high-risk atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries is the lack of an imaging modality that allows for the identification of atherosclerotic plaque composition with high spatial and temporal resolutions. Here we show that macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques of rabbits can be detected with a clinical X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner after the intravenous injection of a contrast agent formed of iodinated nanoparticles dispersed with surfactant. This contrast agent may become an important adjunct to the clinical evaluation of coronary arteries with CT. 相似文献

The work is directed toward the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) coated with paramagnetic Gd-complex of DTPA-bis(amide) conjugate of glutathione (GdL) for use as a highly efficient MRI contrast agent. Well-dispersed spherical Au NPs coated with gadolinium complexes, abbreviated as Au@GdL, have been obtained; the mean size of Au@GdL is 5-7 nm, and the numbers of GdL are 1.36x10(4) per Au NP. Au@GdL exhibits high longitudinal (r1) and transverse (r2) relaxivities of 1.87x10(5) and 3.02x10(5) mM(-1) s(-1), respectively. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the behavior of magnetofluorescent products injected in mice intravenously. STUDY DESIGN: The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) products were labelled with fluorescent molecules to examine the biodistribution process in vivo and observe them at the cellular level by means of confocal microscopy. Three-dimensional (3D) sequences of images were obtained by spectral analysis of sample preparations in a multiphoton confocal microscope and analyzed by the factor analysis of medical image sequence algorithm, which provides factor curves. Factor images are the result of image-processing methods that utilize information from emission spectra. Preparations are also screened in the counting mode to provide fluorescent lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) characterizations. RESULTS: Factor images and FLIM images can help to analyze MRI targeting inside the liver and thoracic aorta of mice. They show positive detection of Fe-Texas red and BOPTA-Eu in the liver and positive detection of Fe-Texas red and negative detection of BOPTA-Eu inside the thoracic aorta. CONCLUSION: This investigation established the utility of fluorescent MRI contrast agents as in vivo staining tools for cellular sites. 相似文献
