A dual-responsive probe for detecting cellular hypoxia using 19F magnetic resonance and fluorescence.

ABSTRACT: We report the first dual-responsive 19F MRI and fluorescence imaging probe for cellular hypoxia. The Cu2+-based probe exhibits no 19F MR signal and reduced fluorescence signal due to paramagnetic quenching; however, the probe turns-on in both modes following reduction to Cu+. This bimodal agent can differentiate hypoxic and normoxic cells in both modalities.

Responsive fluorinated nanoemulsions for <sup>19</sup>F magnetic resonance detection of cellular hypoxia.

Project description:We report two highly fluorinated Cu-based imaging agents, CuL1 and CuL2, for detecting cellular hypoxia as nanoemulsion formulations. Both complexes retained their initial quenched 19F MR signals due to paramagnetic Cu2+; however, both complexes displayed a large signal increase when the complex was reduced. DLS studies showed that the CuL1 nanoemulsion (NECuL1) had a hydrodiameter of approximately 100 nm and that it was stable for four weeks post-preparation. Hypoxic cells incubated with NECuL1 showed that 40% of the Cu2+ taken up was reduced in low oxygen environments.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles for 19F magnetic resonance imaging, fluorescence imaging, and drug delivery.

Project description:Multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are good candidates for multimodal applications in drug delivery, bioimaging, and cell targeting. In particular, controlled release of drugs from MSN pores constitutes one of the superior features of MSNs. In this study, a novel drug delivery carrier based on MSNs, which encapsulated highly sensitive 19F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents inside MSNs, was developed. The nanoparticles were labeled with fluorescent dyes and functionalized with small molecule-based ligands for active targeting. This drug delivery system facilitated the monitoring of the biodistribution of the drug carrier by dual modal imaging (NIR/19F MRI). Furthermore, we demonstrated targeted drug delivery and cellular imaging by the conjugation of nanoparticles with folic acid. An anticancer drug (doxorubicin, DOX) was loaded in the pores of folate-functionalized MSNs for intracellular drug delivery. The release rates of DOX from the nanoparticles increased under acidic conditions, and were favorable for controlled drug release to cancer cells. Our results suggested that MSNs may serve as promising 19F MRI-traceable drug carriers for application in cancer therapy and bio-imaging.

Probe-Specific Procedure to Estimate Sensitivity and Detection Limits for 19F Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Project description:Due to low fluorine background signal in vivo, 19F is a good marker to study the fate of exogenous molecules by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using equilibrium nuclear spin polarization schemes. Since 19F MRI applications require high sensitivity, it can be important to assess experimental feasibility during the design stage already by estimating the minimum detectable fluorine concentration. Here we propose a simple method for the calibration of MRI hardware, providing sensitivity estimates for a given scanner and coil configuration. An experimental "calibration factor" to account for variations in coil configuration and hardware set-up is specified. Once it has been determined in a calibration experiment, the sensitivity of an experiment or, alternatively, the minimum number of required spins or the minimum marker concentration can be estimated without the need for a pilot experiment. The definition of this calibration factor is derived based on standard equations for the sensitivity in magnetic resonance, yet the method is not restricted by the limited validity of these equations, since additional instrument-dependent factors are implicitly included during calibration. The method is demonstrated using MR spectroscopy and imaging experiments with different 19F samples, both paramagnetically and susceptibility broadened, to approximate a range of realistic environments.

A phase I study of the nitroimidazole hypoxia marker SR4554 using 19F magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Project description:BackgroundSR4554 is a fluorine-containing 2-nitroimidazole, designed as a hypoxia marker detectable with 19F magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). In an initial phase I study of SR4554, nausea/vomiting was found to be dose-limiting, and 1400 mg m(-2) was established as MTD. Preliminary MRS studies demonstrated some evidence of 19F retention in tumour. In this study we investigated higher doses of SR4554 and intratumoral localisation of the 19F MRS signal.MethodsPatients had tumours > or = 3 cm in diameter and < or = 4 cm deep. Measurements were performed using 1H/19F surface coils and localised 19F MRS acquisition. SR4554 was administered at 1400 mg m(-2), with subsequent increase to 2600 mg m(-2) using prophylactic metoclopramide. Spectra were obtained immediately post infusion (MRS no. 1), at 16 h (MRS no. 2) and 20 h (MRS no. 3), based on the SR4554 half-life of 3.5 h determined from a previous study. 19Fluorine retention index (%) was defined as (MRS no. 2/MRS no. 1)*100.ResultsA total of 26 patients enrolled at: 1400 (n=16), 1800 (n=1), 2200 (n=1) and 2600 mg m(-2) (n=8). SR4554 was well tolerated and toxicities were all < or = grade 1; mean plasma elimination half-life was 3.7+/-0.9 h. SR4554 signal was seen on both unlocalised and localised MRS no. 1 in all patients. Localised 19F signals were detected at MRS no. 2 in 5 out of 9 patients and 4 out of 5 patients at MRS no. 3. The mean retention index in tumour was 13.6 (range 0.6-43.7) compared with 4.1 (range 0.6-7.3) for plasma samples taken at the same times (P=0.001) suggesting (19)F retention in tumour and, therefore, the presence of hypoxia.ConclusionWe have demonstrated the feasibility of using 19F MRS with SR4554 as a potential method of detecting hypoxia. Certain patients showed evidence of 19F retention in tumour, supporting further development of this technique for detection of tumour hypoxia.

Hypoxia-activated probe for NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic dual-mode tumor imaging.

Project description:Construction of tumor microenvironment responsive probe with more than one imaging modality, in particular toward hypoxia of solid tumors, is an appealing yet significantly challenging task. In this work, we designed a hypoxia-activated probe TBTO (Triphenylamine-Benzothiadiazole-Triphenylamine derivative featuring four diethylamino N-Oxide groups) for in vivo imaging. TBTO could undergo bioreduction in a hypoxic microenvironment to yield compound TBT sharing both near-infrared (NIR) aggregation-induced emission and strong twisted intramolecular charge transfer features, which endows the probe with excellent performance in NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic dual-mode tumor imaging. This study offers useful insights into designing a new generation agent for clinical cancer diagnosis.

Perfluorocarbons-Based 19F Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Biomedicine

Project description:Abstract Fluorine-19 (19F) magnetic resonance (MR) molecular imaging is a promising noninvasive and quantitative molecular imaging approach with intensive research due to the high sensitivity and low endogenous background signal of the 19F atom in vivo. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) have been used as blood substitutes since 1970s. More recently, a variety of PFC nanoparticles have been designed for the detection and imaging of physiological and pathological changes. These molecular imaging probes have been developed to label cells, target specific epitopes in tumors, monitor the prognosis and therapy efficacy and quantitate characterization of tumors and changes in tumor microenvironment noninvasively, therefore, significantly improving the prognosis and therapy efficacy. Herein, we discuss the recent development and applications of 19F MR techniques with PFC nanoparticles in biomedicine, with particular emphasis on ligand-targeted and quantitative 19F MR imaging approaches for tumor detection, oxygenation measurement, smart stimulus response and therapy efficacy monitoring, et al.

Copper(ii) complexes for cysteine detection using 19F magnetic resonance.

Project description:Cysteine plays an essential role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and perturbations in cysteine concentration are associated with cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and cancer. 19F MRI is a promising modality for detecting cysteine in biology due to its high tissue penetration and negligible biological background signal. Herein we report fluorinated macrocyclic copper complexes that display a 19F NMR/MRI turn-on response following reduction of the Cu(ii) complexes by cysteine. The reactivity with cysteine was studied by monitoring the appearance of a robust diamagnetic 19F signal following addition of cysteine in conjunction with UV-vis and EPR spectroscopies. Importantly, complexes with -CH2CF3 tags display good water solubility. Studies with this complex in HeLa cells demonstrate the applicability of these probes to detect cysteine in complex biological environments.

Fluorescence and Magnetic Resonance Dual-Modality Imaging-Guided Photothermal and Photodynamic Dual-Therapy with Magnetic Porphyrin-Metal Organic Framework Nanocomposites.

Project description:Phototherapy shows some unique advantages in clinical application, such as remote controllability, improved selectivity, and low bio-toxicity, than chemotherapy. In order to improve the safety and therapeutic efficacy, imaging-guided therapy seems particularly important because it integrates visible information to speculate the distribution and metabolism of the probe. Here we prepare biocompatible core-shell nanocomposites for dual-modality imaging-guided photothermal and photodynamic dual-therapy by the in situ growth of porphyrin-metal organic framework (PMOF) on Fe3O4@C core. Fe3O4@C core was used as T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) agent. The optical properties of porphyrin were well remained in PMOF, and PMOF was therefore selected for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and fluorescence imaging. Fluorescence and MR dual-modality imaging-guided PTT and PDT dual-therapy was confirmed with tumour-bearing mice as model. The high tumour accumulation of Fe3O4@C@PMOF and controllable light excitation at the tumour site achieved efficient cancer therapy, but low toxicity was observed to the normal tissues. The results demonstrated that Fe3O4@C@PMOF was a promising dual-imaging guided PTT and PDT dual-therapy platform for tumour diagnosis and treatment with low cytotoxicity and negligible in vivo toxicity.

Stimuli-responsive colorimetric and NIR fluorescence combination probe for selective reporting of cellular hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a key reactive oxygen species and a messenger in cellular signal transduction apart from playing a vital role in many biological processes in living organisms. In this article, we present phenyl boronic acid-functionalized quinone-cyanine (QCy-BA) in combination with AT-rich DNA (exogenous or endogenous cellular DNA), i.e., QCy-BA?DNA as a stimuli-responsive NIR fluorescence probe for measuring in vitro levels of H2O2. In response to cellular H2O2 stimulus, QCy-BA converts into QCy-DT, a one-donor-two-acceptor (D2A) system that exhibits switch-on NIR fluorescence upon binding to the DNA minor groove. Fluorescence studies on the combination probe QCy-BA?DNA showed strong NIR fluorescence selectively in the presence of H2O2. Furthermore, glucose oxidase (GOx) assay confirmed the high efficiency of the combination probe QCy-BA?DNA for probing H2O2 generated in situ through GOx-mediated glucose oxidation. Quantitative analysis through fluorescence plate reader, flow cytometry and live imaging approaches showed that QCy-BA is a promising probe to detect the normal as well as elevated levels of H2O2 produced by EGF/Nox pathways and post-genotoxic stress in both primary and senescent cells. Overall, QCy-BA, in combination with exogenous or cellular DNA, is a versatile probe to quantify and image H2O2 in normal and disease-associated cells.

Amphiphilic hyperbranched fluoropolymers as nanoscopic 19F magnetic resonance imaging agent assemblies.

Project description:Three hyperbranched fluoropolymers were synthesized and their micelles were constructed as potential (19)F MRI agents. A hyperbranched star-like core was first synthesized via atom transfer radical self-condensing vinyl (co)polymerization (ATR-SCVCP) of 4-chloromethyl styrene (CMS), lauryl acrylate (LA), and 1,1,1-tris(4'-(2''-bromoisobutyryloxy)phenyl)ethane (TBBPE). The polymerization gave a small core with M n of 5.5 kDa with PDI of 1.6, which served as a macroinitiator. Trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) and tert-butyl acrylate (tBA) in different ratios were then "grafted" from the core to give three polymers with M(n) of about 120 kDa and PDI values of about 1.6-1.8. After acidolysis of the tert-butyl ester groups, amphiphilic, hyperbranched star-like polymers with M(n) of about 100 kDa were obtained. These structures were subjected to micelle formation in aqueous solution to give micelles having TEM-measured diameters ranging from 3-8 nm and DLS-measured hydrodynamic diameters from 20-30 nm. These micelles gave a narrow, single resonance by (19)F NMR spectroscopy, with a half-width of approximately 130 Hz. The T1/T2 parameters were about 500 and 50 ms, respectively, and were not significantly affected by the composition and sizes of the micelles. (19)F MRI phantom images of these fluorinated micelles were acquired, which demonstrated that these fluorinated micelles maybe useful as novel (19)F MRI agents for a variety of biomedical studies.
