In situ theranostic platform combining highly localized magnetic fluid hyperthermia, magnetic particle imaging, and thermometry in 3D.

ABSTRACT: Theranostic platforms, combining diagnostic and therapeutic approaches within one system, have garnered interest in augmenting invasive surgical, chemical, and ionizing interventions. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) offers a quite recent alternative to established radiation-based diagnostic modalities with its versatile tracer material (superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, SPION). It also offers a bimodal theranostic framework that can combine tomographic imaging with therapeutic techniques using the very same SPION. Methods: We show the interleaved combination of MPI-based imaging, therapy (highly localized magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH)) and therapy safety control (MPI-based thermometry) within one theranostic platform in all three spatial dimensions using a commercial MPI system and a custom-made heating insert. The heating characteristics as well as theranostic applications of the platform were demonstrated by various phantom experiments using commercial SPION. Results: We have shown the feasibility of an MPI-MFH-based theranostic platform by demonstrating high spatial control of the therapeutic target, adequate MPI-based thermometry, and successful in situ interleaved MPI-MFH application. Conclusions: MPI-MFH-based theranostic platforms serve as valuable tools that enable the synergistic integration of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The transition into in vivo studies will be essential to further validate their potential, and it holds promising prospects for future advancements.

Project description:Magnetic resonance (MR) nano-theranostic hyperthermia uses magnetic nanoparticles to target and accumulate at the lesions and generate heat to kill lesion cells directly through hyperthermia or indirectly through thermal activation and control releasing of drugs. Preclinical and translational applications of MR nano-theranostic hyperthermia are currently limited by a few major theoretical difficulties and experimental challenges in in vivo conditions. For example, conventional models for estimating the heat generated and the optimal magnetic nanoparticle sizes for hyperthermia do not accurately reproduce reported in vivo experimental results. In this work, a revised cluster-based model was proposed to predict the specific loss power (SLP) by explicitly considering magnetic nanoparticle aggregation in in vivo conditions. By comparing with the reported experimental results of magnetite Fe3O4 and cobalt ferrite CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles, it is shown that the revised cluster-based model provides a more accurate prediction of the experimental values than the conventional models that assume magnetic nanoparticles act as single units. It also provides a clear physical picture: the aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles increases the cluster magnetic anisotropy while reducing both the cluster domain magnetization and the average magnetic moment, which, in turn, shift the predicted SLP toward a smaller magnetic nanoparticle diameter with lower peak values. As a result, the heating efficiency and the SLP values are decreased. The improvement in the prediction accuracy in in vivo conditions is particularly pronounced when the magnetic nanoparticle diameter is in the range of ~10-20 nm. This happens to be an important size range for MR cancer nano-theranostics, as it exhibits the highest efficacy against both primary and metastatic tumors in vivo. Our studies show that a relatively 20%-25% smaller magnetic nanoparticle diameter should be chosen to reach the maximal heating efficiency in comparison with the optimal size predicted by previous models.
