Survey of water proton longitudinal relaxation in liver in vivo.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the variability, and preferred values, for normal liver longitudinal water proton relaxation rate R₁ in the published literature.

Methods

Values of mean R₁ and between-subject variance were obtained from literature searching. Weighted means were fitted to a heuristic and to a model.

Results

After exclusions, 116 publications (143 studies) remained, representing apparently normal liver in 3392 humans, 99 mice and 249 rats. Seventeen field strengths were included between 0.04 T and 9.4 T. Older studies tended to report higher between-subject coefficients of variation (CoV), but for studies published since 1992, the median between-subject CoV was 7.4%, and in half of those studies, measured R₁ deviated from model by 8.0% or less.

Discussion

The within-study between-subject CoV incorporates repeatability error and true between-subject variation. Between-study variation also incorporates between-population variation, together with bias from interactions between methodology and physiology. While quantitative relaxometry ultimately requires validation with phantoms and analysis of propagation of errors, this survey allows investigators to compare their own R₁ and variability values with the range of existing literature.

Water proton spin saturation affects measured protein backbone 15N spin relaxation rates.

Project description:Protein backbone 15N NMR spin relaxation rates are useful in characterizing the protein dynamics and structures. To observe the protein nuclear-spin resonances a pulse sequence has to include a water suppression scheme. There are two commonly employed methods, saturating or dephasing the water spins with pulse field gradients and keeping them unperturbed with flip-back pulses. Here different water suppression methods were incorporated into pulse sequences to measure 15N longitudinal T1 and transversal rotating-frame T1? spin relaxation. Unexpectedly the 15N T1 relaxation time constants varied significantly with the choice of water suppression method. For a 25-kDa Escherichiacoli. glutamine binding protein (GlnBP) the T1 values acquired with the pulse sequence containing a water dephasing gradient are on average 20% longer than the ones obtained using a pulse sequence containing the water flip-back pulse. In contrast the two T1? data sets are correlated without an apparent offset. The average T1 difference was reduced to 12% when the experimental recycle delay was doubled, while the average T1 values from the flip-back measurements were nearly unchanged. Analysis of spectral signal to noise ratios (s/n) showed the apparent slower 15N relaxation obtained with the water dephasing experiment originated from the differences in 1HN recovery for each relaxation time point. This in turn offset signal reduction from 15N relaxation decay. The artifact becomes noticeable when the measured 15N relaxation time constant is comparable to recycle delay, e.g., the 15N T1 of medium to large proteins. The 15N relaxation rates measured with either water suppression schemes yield reasonable fits to the structure. However, data from the saturated scheme results in significantly lower Model-Free order parameters (<S2>=0.81) than the non-saturated ones (<S2>=0.88), indicating such order parameters may be previously underestimated.

Quantitative theory for the longitudinal relaxation time of blood water.

Project description:To propose and evaluate a model for the blood water T1 that takes into account the effects of hematocrit fraction, oxygenation fraction, erythrocyte hemoglobin concentration, methemoglobin fraction, and plasma albumin concentration.Whole blood and lysed blood T1 data were acquired at magnetic fields of 3 Tesla (T), 7T, 9.4T, and 11.7T using inversion-recovery measurements and a home-built blood circulation system for maintaining physiological conditions. A quantitative model was derived based on multivariable fitting of this data.Fitting of the model to the data allowed determination of the different parameters describing the blood water T1 such as those for the diamagnetic and paramagnetic effects of albumin and hemoglobin, and the contribution of methemoglobin. The model correctly predicts blood T1 at multiple fields, as verified by comparison with existing literature.The model provides physical and physiological parameters describing the effects of hematocrit fraction, oxygenation, hemoglobin concentration, methemoglobin fraction, and albumin concentration on blood water T1 . It can be used to predict blood T1 at multiple fields. Magn Reson Med 76:270-281, 2016. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Linear dependence of the water proton transverse relaxation rate on the shear modulus of hydrogels.

Project description:It is found that hydrogelation of peptides enhances the transverse relaxation rate R2 of water protons but has no effect on the longitudinal relaxation rate R1 and the diffusion coefficient D. The magnitude of water proton R2 enhancement increases linearly with the shear modulus G of hydrogels.

Mechanisms of Gadographene-Mediated Proton Spin Relaxation.

Project description:Gd(III) associated with carbon nanomaterials relaxes water proton spins at an effectiveness that approaches or exceeds the theoretical limit for a single bound water molecule. These Gd(III)-labeled materials represent a potential breakthrough in sensitivity for Gd(III)-based contrast agents used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, their mechanism of action remains unclear. A gadographene library encompassing GdCl3, two different Gd(III)-complexes, graphene oxide (GO), and graphene suspended by two different surfactants and subjected to varying degrees of sonication was prepared and characterized for their relaxometric properties. Gadographene was found to perform comparably to other Gd(III)-carbon nanomaterials; its longitudinal (r1) and transverse (r2) relaxivity is modulated between 12-85 mM-1s-1 and 24-115 mM-1s-1, respectively, depending on the Gd(III)-carbon backbone combination. The unusually large relaxivity and its variance can be understood under the modified Florence model incorporating the Lipari-Szabo approach. Changes in hydration number (q), water residence time (?M), molecular tumbling rate (?R), and local motion (?fast) sufficiently explain most of the measured relaxivities. Furthermore, results implicated the coupling between graphene and Gd(III) as a minor contributor to proton spin relaxation.

Metabolic T1 dynamics and longitudinal relaxation enhancement in vivo at ultrahigh magnetic fields on ischemia.

Project description:Interruptions in cerebral blood flow may lead to devastating neural outcomes. Magnetic resonance has a central role in diagnosing and monitoring these insufficiencies, as well as in understanding their underlying metabolic consequences. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in particular can probe ischemia via the signatures of endogenous metabolites including lactic acid (Lac), N-acetylaspartate, creatine (Cre), and cholines. Typically, MRS reports on these metabolites' concentrations. This study focuses on establishing the potential occurrence of in vivo longitudinal relaxation enhancement (LRE) effects-a phenomenon involving a reduction of the apparent T1 with selective bandwidth excitations- in a rat stroke model at 21.1 T. Statistically significant reductions in Cre's apparent T1s were observed at all the examined post-ischemia time points for both ipsi- and contralateral hemispheres, thereby establishing the existence of LREs for this metabolite in vivo. Ischemia-dependent LRE trends were also noted for Lac in the ipsilateral hemisphere only 24 hours after ischemia. Metabolic T1s were also found to vary significantly as a function of post-stroke recovery time, with the most remarkable and rapid changes observed for Lac T1s. The potential of such measurements to understand stroke at a molecular level and assist in its diagnosis, is discussed.

¹³C relaxation experiments for aromatic side chains employing longitudinal- and transverse-relaxation optimized NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Aromatic side chains are prevalent in protein binding sites, perform functional roles in enzymatic catalysis, and form an integral part of the hydrophobic core of proteins. Thus, it is of great interest to probe the conformational dynamics of aromatic side chains and its response to biologically relevant events. Indeed, measurements of (13)C relaxation rates in aromatic moieties have a long history in biomolecular NMR, primarily in the context of samples without isotope enrichment that avoid complications due to the strong coupling between neighboring (13)C spins present in uniformly enriched proteins. Recently established protocols for specific (13)C labeling of aromatic side chains enable measurement of (13)C relaxation that can be analyzed in a straightforward manner. Here we present longitudinal- and transverse-relaxation optimized pulse sequences for measuring R (1), R (2), and {(1)H}-(13)C NOE in specifically (13)C-labeled aromatic side chains. The optimized R (1) and R (2) experiments offer an increase in sensitivity of up to 35 % for medium-sized proteins, and increasingly greater gains are expected with increasing molecular weight and higher static magnetic field strengths. Our results highlight the importance of controlling the magnetizations of water and aliphatic protons during the relaxation period in order to obtain accurate relaxation rate measurements and achieve full sensitivity enhancement. We further demonstrate that potential complications due to residual two-bond (13)C-(13)C scalar couplings or dipolar interactions with neighboring (1)H spins do not significantly affect the experiments. The approach presented here should serve as a valuable complement to methods developed for other types of protein side chains.

Eta(z)/kappa: a transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy NMR experiment measuring longitudinal relaxation interference.

Project description:NMR spin relaxation experiments provide a powerful tool for the measurement of global and local biomolecular rotational dynamics at subnanosecond time scales. Technical limitations restrict most spin relaxation studies to biomolecules weighing less than 10 kDa, considerably smaller than the average protein molecular weight of 30 kDa. In particular, experiments measuring eta(z), the longitudinal (1)H(N)-(15)N dipole-dipole (DD)/(15)N chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) cross-correlated relaxation rate, are among those least suitable for use with larger biosystems. This is unfortunate because these experiments yield valuable insight into the variability of the (15)N CSA tensor over the polypeptide backbone, and this knowledge is critical to the correct interpretation of most (15)N-NMR backbone relaxation experiments, including R(2) and R(1). In order to remedy this situation, we present a new (1)H(N)-(15)N transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy experiment measuring eta(z) suitable for applications with larger proteins (up to at least 30 kDa). The presented experiment also yields kappa, the site-specific rate of longitudinal (1)H(N)-(1)H(') DD cross relaxation. We describe the eta(z)/kappa experiment's performance in protonated human ubiquitin at 30.0 degrees C and in protonated calcium-saturated calmodulin/peptide complex at 20.0 degrees C, and demonstrate preliminary experimental results for a deuterated E. coli DnaK ATPase domain construct at 34 degrees C.

Excited States of Nucleic Acids Probed by Proton Relaxation Dispersion NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:In this work an improved stable isotope labeling protocol for nucleic acids is introduced. The novel building blocks eliminate/minimize homonuclear (13) C and (1) H scalar couplings thus allowing proton relaxation dispersion (RD) experiments to report accurately on the chemical exchange of nucleic acids. Using site-specific (2) H and (13) C labeling, spin topologies are introduced into DNA and RNA that make (1) H relaxation dispersion experiments applicable in a straightforward manner. The novel RNA/DNA building blocks were successfully incorporated into two nucleic acids. The A-site RNA was previously shown to undergo a two site exchange process in the micro- to millisecond time regime. Using proton relaxation dispersion experiments the exchange parameters determined earlier could be recapitulated, thus validating the proposed approach. We further investigated the dynamics of the cTAR DNA, a DNA transcript that is involved in the viral replication cycle of HIV-1. Again, an exchange process could be characterized and quantified. This shows the general applicablility of the novel labeling scheme for (1) H RD experiments of nucleic acids.

Quantification of brain proton longitudinal relaxation (T<sub>1</sub> ) in lithium-treated and lithium-naive patients with bipolar disorder in comparison to healthy controls.

Project description:BackgroundProton longitudinal relaxation (T1 ) is a quantitative MRI-derived tissue parameter sensitive to myelin, macromolecular, iron and water content. There is some evidence to suggest that cortical T1 is elevated in bipolar disorder and that lithium administration reduces cortical T1 . However, T1 has not yet been quantified in separate groups containing lithium-treated patients, lithium-naïve patients, and matched healthy controls.MethodsEuthymic patients with bipolar disorder receiving lithium (n = 18, BDL) and those on other medications but naïve to lithium (n = 20, BDC) underwent quantitative T1 mapping alongside healthy controls (n = 18, HC). T1 was compared between groups within the cortex, white matter and subcortical structures using regions of interest (ROI) derived from the Desikan-Killiany atlas. Effect sizes for each ROI were computed for BDC vs BDL groups and Bipolar Disorder vs HC groups.ResultsNo significant differences in T1 were identified between BDL and BDC groups when corrected for multiple comparisons. Patients with bipolar disorder had significantly higher mean T1 in a range of ROIs compared to healthy controls, including bilateral motor, somatosensory and superior temporal regions, subcortical structures and white matter.ConclusionsThe higher T1 values observed in the patients with bipolar disorder may reflect abnormal tissue microstructure. Whilst the precise mechanism remains unknown, these findings may have a basis in differences in myelination, macromolecular content, iron and water content between patients and controls.

Accelerated Vibrational Energy Relaxation of Water in Alkaline Environments.

Project description:We observe that hydrated hydroxide ions introduce an additional relaxation channel for the vibrational relaxation of the OD vibrations of HDO molecules in aqueous NaOH solutions. This additional relaxation path involves resonant (Förster) vibrational energy transfer from the excited OD vibration to OH stretch vibrations of hydrated OH- complexes. This energy transfer constitutes an efficient mechanism for dissipation of the OD vibrational energy, as the accepting OH stretch vibrations show an extremely rapid subsequent relaxation with a time constant of <200 fs. We find that the Förster energy transfer is characterized by a Förster radius of 2.8 ± 0.2 Å.
