Functionalization of Gadolinium Chelates Silica Nanoparticle through Silane Chemistry for Simultaneous MRI/64Cu PET Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Multimodal nanoprobes are highly demanded for biomedical imaging applications to enhance the reliability of the diagnostic results. Among different types of nano-objects, ultrasmall silica gadolinium nanoparticle (SiGdNP) appears as a safe, effective, and versatile platform for this purpose. In this study, a new method to functionalize SiGdNP based on silane chemistry has been reported. Two types of chelating silanes (APTES-DOTAGA and APTES-NODAGA) have been synthesized and grafted on SiGdNP by a simple one-step protocol. This functionalization strategy requires no other reactants or catalyzers and does not compromise the ultrasmall size of the particles. NODAGA-functionalized particle has been labeled with 64Cu isotope and injected intravenously to mice bearing TS/A carcinoma tumor for biodistribution study to demonstrate its potential as a bimodal MRI/PET imaging agent. A fully integrated MRI/PET system was used to simultaneously monitor the distribution of the particle. The results showed that the functionalized particle maintained properties of a renal clearable NP which could rapidly escape through kidneys and had low retention in other organs, especially liver, even though its accumulation in the tumor was modest.

Project description:Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have revolutionized MRI, enabling physicians to obtain crucial life-saving medical information that often cannot be obtained with other imaging modalities. Since initial approval in 1988, over 450 million intravenous GBCA doses have been administered worldwide, with an extremely favorable pharmacologic safety profile; however, recent information has raised new concerns over the safety of GBCAs. Mounting evidence has shown there is long-term retention of gadolinium in human tissues. Further, a small subset of patients have attributed a constellation of symptoms to GBCA exposure, although the association of these symptoms with GBCA administration or gadolinium retention has not been proven by scientific investigation. Despite evidence that macrocyclic GBCAs show less gadolinium retention than linear GBCAs, the safety implications of gadolinium retention are unknown. The mechanism and chemical forms of gadolinium retention, as well as the biologic activity and clinical importance of these retained gadolinium species, remain poorly understood and underscore the need for additional research. In February 2018, an international meeting was held in Bethesda, Md, at the National Institutes of Health to discuss the current literature and knowledge gaps about gadolinium retention, to prioritize future research initiatives to better understand this phenomenon, and to foster collaborative standardized studies. The greatest priorities are to determine (a) if gadolinium retention adversely affects the function of human tissues, (b) if retention is causally associated with short- or long-term clinical manifestations of disease, and (c) if vulnerable populations, such as children, are at greater risk for experiencing clinical disease. The purpose of the research roadmap is to highlight important information that is not known and to identify and prioritize needed research. ©RSNA, 2018 Online supplemental material is available for this article .
