Project description:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important key for non-invasive visualization of immigrating cells in in vivo studies. We use Perflourcarbons (PFC) coupled to green fluorescent protein (GFP) for a 1H and 19F MRI detection. To this end, we engineered synthetic cell surface receptors, “Cargo Internalization Receptors” (CIR), which contain a GFP-nanobody and specifically bind GFP, followed by a rapid internalization of the GFP-PFC particles, but without inducing any signaling in the targeted cells. In order to explore the suitability of different uptake mechanisms we constructed three different CIRs, which contain different cytoplasmic domains that have different internalizations motifs and properties to enable the specific uptake of the GFP-PFC cargo in CIR-transfected cells. We show that the CIR approach is working in vitro, and has the potential to specifically track CIR containing cells by 1H and 19F MRI.

Project description:This pilot clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET-computed tomography (CT) as diagnostic imaging in patients with colon and/or rectal cancer. New diagnostic imaging procedures, such as PET-MRI, may help find and diagnose rectal cancer or recurrence of colorectal cancer

Project description:It has been recently reported that the patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) had accompanied with cardiac dysfunction. However, an animal model of steatohepatitis related cardiomyopathy has not been reported. In the current study, we have developed a mouse model of steatohepatitis-related cardiomyopathy and examined whether a selective PPARα modulator, pemafibrate would improve both steatohepatitis and cardiomyopathy. C57Bl/6 male mice were fed 1. normal chow diet (C group), 2. high fat/high cholesterol/high sucrose/bile acid diet (N group), or 3. N with pemafibrate 0.1 mg/kg (NP group) for three or eight weeks, respectively. Cardiac function was evaluated by ultra-high magnetic field 7-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Even at the eight weeks, we have detected cholesterol crystals, free cholesterol accumulation in liver, followed by macrophage infiltration and fibrosis as wells as activation of NLRP3, caspase-1 and IL-1βmRNA. At the same time in heart, the ratio of heart to body was increased in N group compared to C group. Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) was moderately decreased in N group compared to C group (50.2±2.8 vs 59.8±2.1, p<0.05). LV circumferential strain and radial strain are focally attenuated in N group, suggesting the early lesion of myocardial damages. mRNA expression of Nlrp3, Caspase1 and Il1b were enhanced in N group, followed by increased protein levels of Caspase-1 and Asc. Rna-sequence analysis revealed that NOD-like receptor and PI3 kinase-AKT pathways were up-regulated, suggesting hypertrophic phenotypes. in N group. Importantly, NLRP3 inflammasome activation were suppressed both in liver and heart in NP group, suggesting pemafibrate had the beneficial effect on steatohepatitis and cardiomyopathy. In addition, four week treatment by pemafibrate improved steatohepatitis and cardiomyopathy after development for eight week. We have first developed the animal model of steatohepatitis-related cardiomyopathy, characterized by the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome pathway both in liver and heart. Steatohepatitis-related cardiomyopathy displayed moderate reduction of LVEF and focal impairment of LV strain by 7T-MRI. Pemafibrate suppressed steatohepatitis, hepatic fibrosis and cardiomyopathy.

Project description:The objectives for this study include:
* Testing a unique way of imaging people with colorectal cancer and other cancers that has spread to the liver using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
* Seeing if the MRI process can be used across multiple imaging platforms;
* Determining whether the results of the imaging can be reproduced;
* Reviewing how MRI results relate to cancer response to combination therapy and to clinical endpoints.

Project description:<p>Urea cycle disorders represent a group of rare inborn errors of metabolism that lead to accumulation of ammonia, a toxic product of protein metabolism. Individuals with urea cycle disorders cannot metabolize the ammonia that accumulates due to enzyme deficiency. The symptoms of these disorders may present at birth, childhood or adulthood (milder deficiencies). There are currently eight enzyme deficiencies that constitute the range of inborn errors of ureagenesis. This project will focus on the most common enzyme disorder of the urea cycle, ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, inherited as an X-linked trait.</p> <p>This project will study cognitive and motor dysfunction in patients who are female carriers of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) or are males with late onset presentation of OTCD, utilizing state of the art MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), a non -invasive technique. This project seeks to improve our understanding of the underlying neural mechanisms that contribute to metabolic, cognitive, sensory and motor abnormalities in urea cycle disorders, which although individually rare, collectively constitute a major cause of neonatal encephalopathy, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. As a result of this study, a greater understanding of the anatomic, cognitive, motor, and biochemical underpinnings of neurologic damage attributable to this metabolic disorder will be gained. Experimental approaches will combine sensory, cognitive and motor testing with structural, functional and molecular magnetic resonance imaging to study symptomatic and asymptomatic heterozygous female carriers of X-linked ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD), and late onset hemizygous males. Participants to be included in the studies will range from ages 18-60 years and will be compared to an age-matched typically developed (TD) comparison group.</p> <p>For our research, we use anatomic MRI, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to monitor brain activity. The technique of fMRI provides detailed maps of the brain areas underlying human mental activities. By using fMRI, we are able to observe how the brain is functioning while a person is performing a specific task, such as reading. We can not only observe differences in the structure of the brain, but can also measure differences in brain function and activity as well. This information will ultimately be used to provide a basis for designing more effective interventions and methods for early identification of learning disabilities in patients with OTCD and related disorders. We will also use MRS to study various brain chemicals such as glutamine using the non-invasive MRI imaging techniques.</p>

Project description:1. Primovist-enhanced Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Diffusion Weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is superior to Multidetector Computed axial Tomography (MDCT) in the detection of colorectal liver metastases. Fatty changes in the liver after chemotherapy treatment likely reduces the chances of seeing metastatic lesions on CT especially when the lesions are small (<10 mm). When compared with CT, Primovist-enhanced MRI and DW-MRI have the potential to provide higher contrast resolution enabling better detection of colorectal liver metastases following chemotherapy.
2. Primovist-enhanced MRI and DW-MRI are superior to CT in assessing and predicting treatment response of patients with colorectal liver metastases to chemotherapy. Primovist-enhanced MRI by providing superior resolution may provide improved accuracy in metastatic lesion margin detection thereby providing higher accuracy in estimating tumor response based on size criteria. DW-MRI provides information indirectly about tumor composition and therefore is likely to be superior to MD-CT in assessing treatment response.
Two groups of patients will be analyzed. The second group consists of patients with colorectal liver metastases who are to go for chemotherapy prior to surgery for metastases resection. This group will be CT and MRI scanned prior to chemotherapy and after chemotherapy. The first group of patients will consist of those patients who have already received chemotherapy and are likely to have surgery to resect liver metastases. This group will have only one set of scans done 4-6 weeks prior to their operation. The pathology of the resected metastases and CT and MRI images will be analyzed and compared.
