Gold-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) coated with methyl-polyethylene glycol (mPEG) are synthesized and investigated as a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent. The synthesized mPEG-core@shells are characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), zeta-potential analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In addition, the transverse relaxivity of the mPEG-core@shells is measured using a 3 T MRI scanner. The cytotoxicity of the mPEG-core@shells is tested in the LNCaP cell line using an 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The results show that the mPEG-core@shell particles are semispherical with hydrodynamic size of ∼ 65 nm and a transverse relaxivity of 162.3 mM-1 S-1. The mPEG-core@shell particles demonstrate good stability in biological media without any significant in vitro cytotoxicity under high cellular uptake conditions. Finally, in vivo imaging shows that mPEG-core@shells are a potential contrast agent for use in early-stage detection.

Contrast Agent Injection

The purpose of this study is to establish the minimal injection doses of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that can achieve optimized images while improving the safety of injectable MRI drugs. Gadolinium-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA) and ferucarbotran, commonly used in clinical practice, were selected and evaluated with in vitro and in vivo experiments. MRI was acquired using T1-weighted (T1W) and T2-weighted (T2W) sequences, and the results were quantitatively analyzed. For in vitro experiments, results showed that T1W and T2W images were optimal when Gd-DTPA-bisamide (2-oxoethyl) (Gd-DTPA-BMEA) and ferucarbotran were diluted to a volume percentage of 0.6% and 0.05%; all comparisons were significant differences in grayscale statistics using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). For in vivo experiments, the contrast agent with optimal concentration percentages determined from in vitro experiments were injected into mice with an injection volume of 100 μL, and the images of brain, heart, liver, and mesentery before and after injection were compared. The statistical results showed that the p values of both T1W and T2W were less than 0.001, which were statistically significant. Under safety considerations for MRI contrast agent injection, optimized MRI images could still be obtained after reducing the injection concentration, which can provide a reference for the safety concentrations of MRI contrast agent injection in the future.
