Abstract
In this work, core/shell of CuFe2O4/ZnFe2O4 nanostructure composite was prepared by hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, transmission electron microscope imaging, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared techniques were used to prove the phase formation, morphology, elemental analysis, and cation distribution of core/shell structure, respectively. Furthermore, measurement of the optical properties proved the decrease of photoluminescence (PL) efficiency. The magnetic measurements showed an enhancement of the magnetization by about 63% relative to pure Cu ferrite, and the magnetization curve exhibited superparamagnetic behavior. These results were explained in terms of the depression of the magnetic dead layer thickness in the core/shell structure. The results unleash the promising applications of the prepared samples as transformer cores in the high frequency range and as a photocatalytic agent for water purification and hydrogen production.

Magnetic-driven Interleukin-4 internalization promotes magnetic nanoparticle morphology and size-dependent macrophage polarization. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 655:286-295. [PMID: 37944376 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
Macrophages are known to depict two major phenotypes: classically activated macrophages (M1), associated with high production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and alternatively activated macrophages (M2), which present an anti-inflammatory function. A precise control over M1-M2 polarization is a promising strategy in therapeutics to modulate both tissue regeneration and tumor progression processes. However, this is not a simple task as macrophages behave differently depending on the microenvironment. In agreement with this, non-consistent data have been reported regarding macrophages response to magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs). To investigate the impact of both tissue microenvironment and MNPs properties on the obtained macrophage responses, single-core (SC) and multi-core (MC) citrate coated MNPs, are synthesized and, afterwards, loaded with a macrophage polarization trigger, IL-4. The developed MNPs are then tested in macrophages subjected to different stimuli. We demonstrate that macrophages treated with low concentrations of MNPs behave differently depending on the polarization stage independently of the concentration of iron. Moreover, we find out that MNPs size and morphology determines the effect of the IL-4 loaded MNPs on M1 macrophages, since IL-4 loaded SC MNPs favor the polarization of M1 macrophages towards M2 phenotype, while IL-4 loaded MC MNPs further stimulate the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Nanodiamonds (NDs) are emerging with great potential in biomedical applications like biomarking through fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), targeted drug delivery, and cancer therapy. The magnetic and optical properties of NDs could be tuned by selective doping. Therefore, we report multifunctional manganese-incorporated NDs (Mn-NDs) fabricated by Mn ion implantation. The fluorescent properties of Mn-NDs were tuned by inducing the defects by ion implantation and enhancing the residual nitrogen vacancy density achieved by a two-step annealing process. The cytotoxicity of Mn-NDs was investigated using NCTC clone 929 cells, and the results revealed no cytotoxicity effect. Mn-NDs have demonstrated dual mode contrast enhancement for both T 1- and T 2-weighted in vitro MR imaging. Furthermore, Mn-NDs have illustrated a significant increase in longitudinal relaxivity (fivefold) and transversal relaxivity (17-fold) compared to the as-received NDs. Mn-NDs are employed to investigate their ability for in vivo MR imaging by intraperitoneal (ip) injection of Mn-NDs into mice with liver tumors. After 2.5 h of ip injection, the enhancement of contrast in T 1- and T 2-weighted images has been observed via the accumulation of Mn-NDs in liver tumors of mice. Therefore, Mn-NDs have great potential for in vivo imaging by MR imaging in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Magnetic hyperthermia is emerging as a promising alternative to the currently available cancer treatment modalities. Superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are extensively studied functional nanomaterials for biomedical applications, owing to their tunable physio-chemical properties and magnetic properties. Out of various ferrite classes, spinel and inverse-spinel ferrites are widely used but are affected by particle size distribution, particle shape, particle-particle interaction, geometry, and crystallinity. Notably, their heating ability makes them suitable candidates for heat-mediated cancer cell ablation or hyperthermia therapy. Exposing SPIONs to an externally applied magnetic field of appropriate frequency and intensity causes them to release heat to ablate cancer cells. Majorly, three heating mechanisms are exhibited by magnetic nanomaterials: Nèel relaxation, Brownian relaxation, and hysteresis losses. In SPIONs, Nèel and Brownian relaxations dominate, whereas hysteric losses are negligible. These nanomaterials possess high magnetization values capable of generating heat to ablate cancer cells. Furthermore, surface functionalization of these materials imparts the ability to selectively target cancer cells and deliver cargo to the affected area sparing the normal body cells. The surface of nanoparticles can be functionalized with various physical, chemical, and biological coatings. Moreover, hyperthermia can be applied in combination with other cancer treatment modalities in order to enhance the efficiency of treatment.

Abstract
The potential clinical application of gadolinium-neutron capture therapy (Gd-NCT) for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treatment has been compromised by the fast clearance and nonspecific biodistribution of gadolinium-based agents. We have developed a stem cell-nanoparticle system (SNS) to actively target GBM for advanced Gd-NCT by magnetizing umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs) using gadodiamide-concealed magnetic nanoparticles (Gd-FPFNP). Nanoformulated gadodiamide shielded by a dense surface composed of fucoidan and polyvinyl alcohol demonstrates enhanced cellular association and biocompatibility in UMSCs. The SNS preserves the ability of UMSCs to actively penetrate the blood brain barrier and home to GBM and, when magnetically navigates by an external magnetic field, an 8-fold increase in tumor-to-blood ratio is achieved compared with clinical data. In an orthotopic GBM-bearing rat model, using a single dose of irradiation and an ultra-low gadolinium dose (200 μg kg-1), SNS significantly attenuates GBM progression without inducing safety issues, prolonging median survival 2.5-fold compared to free gadodiamide. The SNS is a cell-based delivery system that integrates the strengths of cell therapy and nanotechnology, which provides an alternative strategy for the treatment of brain diseases.

Abstract
Ultrasmall nanoparticle contrast agents provide dual-mode MRI. However, the application of ultrasmall nanoparticle contrast agents is limited by low manufacturing outputs and cumbersome preparation processes. Herein, we report a novel continuous-flow coprecipitation method for the preparation of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles magnetic fluid (CFCPFe) coated with ultrasmall cysteine-terminated polymethacrylic acid (Cys-PMAA). The preparation process is more coherent, simpler, and less expensive. Compared with magnetic fluids prepared by the conventional method (Cys-PMAA@Fe3O4), CFCPFe has smaller particle sizes (3.27 ± 0.93 nm). Moreover, CFCPFe demonstrates excellent stability for >180 days with different pH values (pH = 2-12) and salt concentrations (up to 2 mol/L). In addition, HEK293T cytotoxicity tests, hemolysis tests, and H&E tissue sections show excellent in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility. In vitro magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1.5 T shows that the r2 value (50.51 mM-1·s-1) of CFCPFe is slightly lower than that of Combidex (r2 = 65 mM-1·s-1) and that the r1 value (9.54 mM-1·s-1) is 2.7 times higher than that of Gd-DTPA (r1 = 3.5 mM-1·s-1). Finally, in vivo imaging shows that CFCPFe reaches the tumor region of the mouse liver cancer model, and a small tumor can be observed in dual-mode imaging. This work offers an effective method for the preparation of a low-cost, stable, and biocompatible ultrasmall contrast agent exhibiting a strong magnetic-imaging effect for dual-mode imaging.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop and characterize a Prussian Blue based biocompatible and chemically stable T1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent with near infrared (NIR) optical contrast for preclinical application. The physical properties of the Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) (iron (II); iron (III);octadecacyanide) were characterized with dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In vitro contrast enhancement properties of PBNPs were determined by MRI. In vivo T1-weighted contrast of the prepared PBNPs was investigated by MRI and optical imaging modality after intravenous administration into NMRI-Foxn1 nu/nu mice. The biodistribution studies showed the presence of PBNPs predominantly in the cardiovascular system. Briefly, in this paper we show a novel approach for the synthesis of PBNPs with enhanced iron content for T1 MRI contrast. This newly synthetized PBNP platform could lead to a new diagnostic agent, replacing the currently used Gadolinium based substances.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticle (IONP) with unique magnetic property and high biocompatibility have been widely used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent (CA) for long time. However, a review which comprehensively summarizes the recent development of IONP as traditional T2 CA and its new application for different modality of MRI, such as T1 imaging, simultaneous T2/T1 or MRI/other imaging modality, and as environment responsive CA is rare. This review starts with an investigation of direction on the development of high-performance MRI CA in both T2 and T1 modal based on quantum mechanical outer sphere and Solomon–Bloembergen–Morgan (SBM) theory. Recent rational attempts to increase the MRI contrast of IONP by adjusting the key parameters, including magnetization, size, effective radius, inhomogeneity of surrounding generated magnetic field, crystal phase, coordination number of water, electronic relaxation time, and surface modification are summarized. Besides the strategies to improve r2 or r1 values, strategies to increase the in vivo contrast efficiency of IONP have been reviewed from three different aspects, those are introducing second imaging modality to increase the imaging accuracy, endowing IONP with environment response capacity to elevate the signal difference between lesion and normal tissue, and optimizing the interface structure to improve the accumulation amount of IONP in lesion. This detailed review provides a deep understanding of recent researches on the development of high-performance IONP based MRI CAs. It is hoped to trigger deep thinking for design of next generation MRI CAs for early and accurate diagnosis. T2 contrast capacity of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) could be improved based on quantum mechanical outer sphere theory. IONPs could be expand to be used as effective T1 CAs by improving q value, extending τs, and optimizing interface structure. Environment responsive MRI CAs have been developed to improve the diagnosis accuracy. Introducing other imaging contrast moiety into IONPs could increase the contrast efficiency. Optimizing in vivo behavior of IONPs have been proved to enlarge the signal difference between normal tissue and lesion.

Abstract
Nowadays, about 30% of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams need contrast agents (CAs) to improve the sensitivity and quality of the images for accurate diagnosis. Here, a multifunctional nano-agent with ring-like vortex-domain iron oxide as core and gadolinium oxide as shell (vortex nanoring Fe3O4 @Gd2O3, abbreviated as VNFG) was firstly designed and prepared for highly enhanced T1-T2 dual-modality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided magnetic thermal cancer therapy. After thorough characterization, the core-shell structure of VNFG was confirmed. Moreover, the excellent heat generation property (SAR=984.26 W/g) of the proposed VNFG under alternating magnetic fields was firmly demonstrated. Furthermore, both in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed a good preliminary indication of VNFG's biological compatibility, dual-modality enhancing feature and antitumor efficacy. This work demonstrates that the proposed VNFG can be a high-performance tumor diagnosis and theranostic treatment agent and may have great potential for clinical application in the future.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been extensively investigated during the last couple of decades because of their potential applications across various disciplines ranging from spintronics to nanotheranostics. However, pure iron oxide nanoparticles cannot meet the requirement for practical applications. Doping is considered as one of the most prominent and simplest techniques to achieve optimized multifunctional properties in nanomaterials. Doped iron oxides, particularly, rare-earth (RE) doped nanostructures have shown much-improved performance for a wide range of biomedical applications, including magnetic hyperthermia and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), compared to pure iron oxide. Extensive investigations have revealed that bigger-sized RE ions possessing high magnetic moment and strong spin-orbit coupling can serve as promising dopants to significantly regulate the properties of iron oxides for advanced biomedical applications. This review provides a detailed investigation on the role of RE ions as primary dopants for engineering the structural and magnetic properties of Fe3 O4 nanoparticles to carefully introspect and correlate their impact on cancer theranostics with a special focus on magnetic hyperthermia and MRI. In addition, prospects for achieving high-performance magnetic hyperthermia and MRI are thoroughly discussed. Finally, suggestions on future work in these two areas are also proposed.

[PMID: 34868634 PMCID: PMC8634494 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbab062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 11/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant brain tumour, with a median survival of 3 months without treatment and 15 months with treatment. Early GBM diagnosis can significantly improve patient survival due to early treatment and management procedures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using contrast agents is the preferred method for the preoperative detection of GBM tumours. However, commercially available clinical contrast agents do not accurately distinguish between GBM, surrounding normal tissue and other cancer types due to their limited ability to cross the blood–brain barrier, their low relaxivity and their potential toxicity. New GBM-specific contrast agents are urgently needed to overcome the limitations of current contrast agents. Recent advances in nanotechnology have produced alternative GBM-targeting contrast agents. The surfaces of nanoparticles (NPs) can be modified with multimodal contrast imaging agents and ligands that can specifically enhance the accumulation of NPs at GBM sites. Using advanced imaging technology, multimodal NP-based contrast agents have been used to obtain accurate GBM diagnoses in addition to an increased amount of clinical diagnostic information. NPs can also serve as drug delivery systems for GBM treatments. This review focuses on the research progress for GBM-targeting MRI contrast agents as well as MRI-guided GBM therapy.

Recent Advances in Metal-Based Magnetic Composites as High-Efficiency Candidates for Ultrasound-Assisted Effects in Cancer Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910461. [PMID: 34638801 PMCID: PMC8508863 DOI: 10.3390/ijms221910461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Metal-based magnetic materials have been used in different fields due to their particular physical or chemical properties. The original magnetic properties can be influenced by the composition of constituent metals. As utilized in different application fields, such as imaging monitoring, thermal treatment, and combined integration in cancer therapies, fabricated metal-based magnetic materials can be doped with target metal elements in research. Furthermore, there is one possible new trend in human activities and basic cancer treatment. As has appeared in characterizations such as magnetic resonance, catalytic performance, thermal efficiency, etc., structural information about the real morphology, size distribution, and composition play important roles in its further applications. In cancer studies, metal-based magnetic materials are considered one appropriate material because of their ability to penetrate biological tissues, interact with cellular components, and induce noxious effects. The disruptions of cytoskeletons, membranes, and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) further influence the efficiency of metal-based magnetic materials in related applications. While combining with cancer cells, these magnetic materials are not only applied in imaging monitoring focus areas but also could give the exact area information in the cure process while integrating ultrasound treatment. Here, we provide an overview of metal-based magnetic materials of various types and then their real applications in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) field and cancer cell treatments. We will demonstrate advancements in using ultrasound fields co-worked with MRI or ROS approaches. Besides iron oxides, there is a super-family of heterogeneous magnetic materials used as magnetic agents, imaging materials, catalytic candidates in cell signaling and tissue imaging, and the expression of cancer cells and their high sensitivity to chemical, thermal, and mechanical stimuli. On the other hand, the interactions between magnetic candidates and cancer tissues may be used in drug delivery systems. The materials’ surface structure characteristics are introduced as drug loading substrates as much as possible. We emphasize that further research is required to fully characterize the mechanisms of underlying ultrasounds induced together, and their appropriate relevance for materials toxicology and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Over the last decade, an important challenge in nanomedicine imaging has been the work to design multifunctional agents that can be detected by single and/or multimodal techniques. Among the broad spectrum of nanoscale materials being investigated for imaging use, iron oxide nanoparticles have gained significant attention due to their intrinsic magnetic properties, low toxicity, large magnetic moments, superparamagnetic behaviour and large surface area-the latter being a particular advantage in its conjunction with specific moieties, dye molecules, and imaging probes. Tracers-based nanoparticles are promising candidates, since they combine synergistic advantages for non-invasive, highly sensitive, high-resolution, and quantitative imaging on different modalities. This study represents an overview of current advancements in magnetic materials with clinical potential that will hopefully provide an effective system for diagnosis in the near future. Further exploration is still needed to reveal their potential as promising candidates from simple functionalization of metal oxide nanomaterials up to medical imaging.

Abstract
Millions of people a year receive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for the diagnosis of conditions as diverse as fatty liver disease and cancer. Gadolinium chelates, which provide preferred T1 contrast, are the current standard but face an uncertain future due to increasing concerns about their nephrogenic toxicity as well as poor performance in high-field MRI scanners. Gadolinium-containing nanocrystals are interesting alternatives as they bypass the kidneys and can offer the possibility of both intracellular accumulation and active targeting. Nanocrystal contrast performance is notably limited, however, as their organic coatings block water from close interactions with surface Gadoliniums. Here, these steric barriers to water exchange are minimized through shape engineering of plate-like nanocrystals that possess accessible Gadoliniums at their edges. Sulfonated surface polymers promote second-sphere relaxation processes that contribute remarkable contrast even at the highest fields (r1 = 32.6 × 10-3 m Gd-1 s-1 at 9.4 T). These noncytotoxic materials release no detectable free Gadolinium even under mild acidic conditions. They preferentially accumulate in the liver of mice with a circulation half-life 50% longer than commercial agents. These features allow these T1 MRI contrast agents to be applied for the first time to the ex vivo detection of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in mice.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used non-invasive methodology for both preclinical and clinical studies. However, MRI lacks molecular specificity. Molecular contrast agents for MRI would be highly beneficial for detecting specific pathological lesions and quantitatively evaluating therapeutic efficacy in vivo. In this study, an optimized Magnetization Prepared—RApid Gradient Echo (MP-RAGE) with 2 inversion times called MP2RAGE combined with advanced image co-registration is presented as an effective non-invasive methodology to quantitatively detect T1 MR contrast agents. The optimized MP2RAGE produced high quality in vivo mouse brain T1 (or R1 = 1/T1) map with high spatial resolution, 160 × 160 × 160 µm3 voxel at 9.4 T. Test–retest signal to noise was > 20 for most voxels. Extremely small iron oxide nanoparticles (ESIONPs) having 3 nm core size and 11 nm hydrodynamic radius after polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating were intracranially injected into mouse brain and detected as a proof-of-concept. Two independent MP2RAGE MR scans were performed pre- and post-injection of ESIONPs followed by advanced image co-registration. The comparison of two T1 (or R1) maps after image co-registration provided precise and quantitative assessment of the effects of the injected ESIONPs at each voxel. The proposed MR protocol has potential for future use in the detection of T1 molecular contrast agents.

Abstract
A novel theranostic nanoplatform was prepared based on Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) coated with gadolinium ions decorated-polycyclodextrin (PCD) layer (Fe3O4@PCD-Gd) and employed for Curcumin (CUR) loading. The dissolution profile of CUR indicated a pH sensitive release manner. Fe3O4@PCD-Gd NPs exhibited no significant toxicity against both normal and cancerous cell lines (MCF 10A and 4T1, respectively); while the CUR-free NPs showed more toxicity against 4T1 than MCF 10A cells. In vivo anticancer study revealed appropriate capability of the system in tumor shrinking with no tissue toxicity and adverse effect on body weight. In vivo MR imaging of BALB/c mouse showed both T1 and T2 contrast enhancement on the tumor cells. Fe3O4@PCD-Gd/CUR NPs showed significant features as a promising multifunctional system having appropriate T1-T2 dual contrast enhancement and therapeutic efficacy in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
To overcome the negative contrast limitations, and to improve the sensitivity of the magnetic resonance signals, the mesoporous silica coated Fe/Mn multilayered nanowires (NWs) were used as a T1 -T2 dual-mode contrast agents (CAs). The single component Fe and Mn NWs, and Fe/Mn multilayer NWs were synthesized by electrodeposition in the homemade anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates with the aperture of about 30 nm. The structural characterization and morphology of single component and multisegmented NWs was done by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The elemental composition of Fe/Mn multilayerd NWs was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray and energy-dispersive spectrometer. Vibrating sample magnetometer was used to test the magnetic properties, and 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner was used to measure the relaxation efficiency. Importantly, the MRI study indicated that the Fe/Mn multilayer NWs showed a significant T1 -T2 imaging effect, and have longitudinal relaxivity (r1 ) value, that is, 1.25 ± 0.0329 × 10-4 μM-1 s-1 and transverse relaxivity (r2 ), that is, 5.13 ± 0.123 × 10-4 μM-1 s-1 , which was two times of r1 value (0.654 ± 0.00899 × 10-4 μM-1 s-1 ) of Mn NWs, and r2 value (2.96 ± 0.0415 × 10-4 μM-1 s-1 ) of Fe NWs. Hence, Fe/Mn multilayer NWs have potential to be used as T1 -T2 dual-mode CAs.

Abstract
In this communication, a paramagnetic bifunctional manganese(ii) chelate ([Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2-) containing a catechol group is designed and synthesized. The catechol can bind iron ions on the surface of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanocrystals to form core-shell nanoparticles. Both 4 and 7 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- show good water solubility, single-crystal dispersion, and low cytotoxicity. The study of the interplay between the longitudinal and transverse relaxation revealed that 4 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- with lower r 2/r 1 = 1.75 at 0.5 T tends to be a perfect T 1 contrast agent while 7 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- with a higher r 2/r 1 = 15.0 at 3.0 T tends to be a T 2 contrast agent. Interestingly, 4 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- with an intermediate value of r 2/r 1 = 5.26 at 3.0 T could act as T 1-T 2 dual-modal contrast agent. In vivo imaging with the 4 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- nanoparticle shows unique imaging features: (1) long-acting vascular imaging and different signal intensity changes between the liver parenchyma and blood vessels with the CEMRA sequence; (2) the synergistic contrast enhancement of hepatic imaging with the T 1WI and T 2WI sequence. In summary, these Fe/Mn hybrid core-shell nanoparticles, with their ease of synthesis, good biocompatibility, and synergistic contrast enhancement ability, may provide a useful method for tissue and vascular MR imaging.

Encapsulation of gadolinium ferrite nanoparticle in generation 4.5 poly(amidoamine) dendrimer for cancer theranostics applications using low frequency alternating magnetic field. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2019; 184:110531. [PMID: 31590053 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2019.110531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2019] [Revised: 09/21/2019] [Accepted: 09/24/2019] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Iron oxide-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents have negative contrast limitations in cancer diagnosis. Gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents show toxicity. To overcome these limitations, Gd-doped ferrite (Gd:Fe3O4 (GdIO) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized as T1-T2 dual-modal contrast agents for MRI-traced drug delivery. A theranostics GdIO encapsulated in a Generation 4.5 PAMAM dendrimer (G4.5-GdIO) was developed by alkaline coprecipitation. The drug-loading efficiency of the NPs was ∼24%. In the presence of a low-frequency alternating magnetic field (LFAMF), a maximum cumulative doxorubicin (DOX) release of ∼77.47% was achieved in a mildly acidic (pH = 5.0) simulated endosomal microenvironment. Relaxometric measurements indicated superior r1 (5.19 mM-1s-1) and r2 (26.13 mM-1s-1) for G4.5-GdIO relative to commercially available Gd-DTPA. Thus, G4.5-GdIO is promising as an alternative noninvasive MRI-traced cancer drug delivery system.

Abstract
Synthesizing iron oxide nanoparticles for positive contrast in magnetic resonance imaging is the most promising approach to bring this nanomaterial back to the clinical field. The success of this approach depends on several aspects: the longitudinal relaxivity values, the complexity of the synthetic protocol, and the reproducibility of the synthesis. Here, we show our latest results on this goal. We have studied the effect of Cu doping on the physicochemical, magnetic, and relaxometric properties of iron oxide nanoparticles designed to provide positive contrast in magnetic resonance imaging. We have used a one-step, 10 min synthesis to produce nanoparticles with excellent colloidal stability. We have synthesized three different Cu-doped iron oxide nanoparticles showing modest to very large longitudinal relaxivity values. Finally, we have demonstrated the in vivo use of these kinds of nanoparticles both in angiography and targeted molecular imaging.

Abstract
The development of tumor-specific imaging nanoprobes with the potential to improve the accuracy of cancer diagnosis has become an area of intense research. Aminopeptidase N (CD13) predominantly expresses on the surface of ovarian tumor cells and can be specifically recognized by Asn-Gly-Arg (NGR) peptide. The applicability of CD13 as a target for specific ovarian tumor imaging, however, remains unexploited so far. In this study, Cy5.5-labeled, NGR-conjugated iron oxide nanoparticles (Cy5.5-NGR-Fe3O4 NPs) were prepared as an ovarian tumor specific bimodal imaging nanoprobe. It is demonstrated that the conjugation of NGR targeting moiety leads to a higher cellular uptake toward ES-2 cells, the human ovarian carcinoma cells that highly express CD13. Moreover, magnetic resonance imaging of ovarian tumor xenograft reveals that the Fe3O4-Cy5.5-NGR NPs results in a significant T2* signal reduction in the tumor. Meanwhile, near infrared fluorescence imaging indicates a higher accumulation of Fe3O4-Cy5.5-NGR NPs in the tumor xenograft. Therefore, CD13 could be applied as a novel and efficient target for constructing ovarian tumor specific nanoprobes with improved accuracy for ovarian tumor diagnosis.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are considered as chemically inert materials and, therefore, being extensively applied in the areas of imaging, targeting, drug delivery and biosensors. Their unique properties such as low toxicity, biocompatibility, potent magnetic and catalytic behavior and superior role in multifunctional modalities have epitomized them as an appropriate candidate for biomedical applications. Recent developments in the area of materials science have enabled the facile synthesis of Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) offering easy tuning of surface properties and surface functionalization with desired biomolecules. Such developments have enabled IONPs to be easily accommodated in nanocomposite platform or devices. Additionally, the tag of biocompatible material has realized their potential in myriad applications of nanomedicines including imaging modalities, sensing, and therapeutics. Further, IONPs enzyme mimetic activity pronounced their role as nanozymes in detecting biomolecules like glucose, and cholesterol etc. Hence, based on their versatile applications in biomedicine, the present review article focusses on the current trends, developments and future prospects of IONPs in MRI, hyperthermia, photothermal therapy, biomolecules detection, chemotherapy, antimicrobial activity and also their role as the multifunctional agent in diagnosis and nanomedicines.

Abstract
Due to their unique optical properties, diamonds are the most valued gemstones. However, beyond the sparkle, diamonds have a number of unique properties. Their extreme hardness gives them outstanding performance as abrasives and cutting tools. Similar to many materials, their nanometer-sized form has yet other unique properties. Nanodiamonds are very inert but still can be functionalized on the surface. Additionally, they can be made in very small sizes and a narrow size distribution. Nanodiamonds can also host very stable fluorescent defects. Since they are protected in the crystal lattice, they never bleach. These defects can also be utilized for nanoscale sensing since they change their optical properties, for example, based on temperature or magnetic fields in their surroundings. In this Review, in vivo applications are focused upon. To this end, how different diamond materials are made and how this affects their properties are discussed first. Next, in vivo biocompatibility studies are reviewed. Finally, the reader is introduced to in vivo applications of diamonds. These include drug delivery, aiding radiology, labeling, and use in cosmetics. The field is critically reviewed and a perspective on future developments is provided.

Abstract
Nowadays, thanks to the successful discoveries in the biomedical field achieved in the last two decades, a deeper understanding about the complexity of mechanistic aspects of different pathological processes has been obtained. As a consequence, even the standard therapeutic protocols have undergone a vast redesign. In fact, the awareness about the necessity to progress towards a combined multitherapy in order to potentially increase the final healing chances has become a reality. One of the crucial elements of this novel approach is that large amounts of detailed information are highly needed and in vivo imaging techniques represent one of the most powerful tools to visualize and monitor the pathological state of the patient. To this scope, due to their unique features, nanostructured materials have emerged as attractive elements for the development of multifunctional tools for diagnosis and therapy. Hence, in this review, the most recent and relevant advances achieved by applying multifunctional nanostructures in multimodal theranosis of different diseases will be discussed. In more detail, the preparation and application of single multifunctional nano-radiotracers based on iron oxides and enabling PET/MRI dual imaging will be firstly detailed. After that, especially considering their highly promising clinical potential, the preparation and application of multifunctional liposomes useful for multimodal imaging and therapy will be reviewed. In both cases, a special focus will be set on the application of such a multifunctional nanocarriers in cancer as well as cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The present work introduces deliberate synthesis of Gd(III)-doped silica nanoparticles with high relaxivity at magnetic field strengths below 1.5T. Modified microemulsion water-in-oil procedure was used in order to achieve superficial localization of Gd(III) complexes within 40-55nm sized silica spheres. The relaxivities of the prepared nanoparticles were measured at 0.47, 1.41 and 1.5T with the use of both NMR analyzer and whole body NMR scanner. Longitudinal relaxivities of the obtained silica nanoparticles reveal significant dependence on the confinement mode, changing from 4.1 to 49.6mM-1s-1 at 0.47T when the localization of Gd(III) complexes changes from core to superficial zones of the silica spheres. The results highlight predominant contribution of the complexes located close to silica/water interface to the relaxivity of the nanoparticles. Low effect of blood proteins on the relaxivity in the aqueous colloids of the nanoparticles was exemplified by serum bovine albumin. T1- weighted MRI data indicate that the nanoparticles provide strong positive contrast at 1.5T, which along with low cytotoxicity effect make a good basis for their application as contrast agents.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are one of the most highlighted carbon-based materials for biological applications, such as optical imaging nanoprobes, which are used for labeling cells in cancer treatment mainly due to their biocompatibility and unique optical properties. In this study, gadolinium (Gd)-complex-containing CDs were obtained through a one-step microwave method to develop multimodal nanoprobes integrating the advantages of optical and magnetic imaging. The obtained Gd-CDs exhibited highly fluorescent properties with excellent water solubility and biological compatibility. Natural apoferritin (AFn) nanocages, an excellent drug delivery carrier, are hollow in structure, with their pH-dependent, unfolding-refolding process at pH 2.0 and 7.4. The chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) can be highly effective and encapsulated into AFn cavity. A widely used tumor-targeting molecule, folic acid (FA), functionalized the surface of AFn to obtain an active tumor targeting effect on MCF-7 cells and malignant tumors in mice models. In this study, an AFn nanocarrier encapsulating high concentration of DOX labeled with magnetic and fluorescent Gd-CDs probe was developed. Gd-CDs exhibited a unique green photoluminescence and almost no toxicity compared with free GdCl3. Furthermore, Gd-doped CDs significantly increased the circulation time and decreased the toxicity of Gd3+ in in vitro and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging, which demonstrated that the AFn nanocages labeled with Gd-CD compounds could serve as an excellent T1 contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. The self-assembling multifunctional Gd-CDs/AFn (DOX)/FA nanoparticles have a great potential for cancer theranostic applications.

Abstract
Uniform wüstite Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers have been successfully developed as an innovative theranostic agent with T1 -T2 dual-mode magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for diagnostic applications and therapeutic interventions via magnetic hyperthermia. Unlike their antiferromagnetic bulk counterpart, the obtained Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers show unique room-temperature ferromagnetic behavior, probably due to the presence of an exchange coupling effect. Combined with the flower-like morphology, ferromagnetic Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers are demonstrated to possess dual-modal MRI sensitivity, with longitudinal relaxivity r1 and transverse relaxivity r2 as high as 4.9 and 61.2 mm(-1) s(-1) [Fe]+[Mn], respectively. Further in vivo MRI carried out on the mouse orthotopic glioma model revealed gliomas are clearly delineated in both T1 - and T2 -weighted MR images, after administration of the Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers. In addition, the Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers also exhibit excellent magnetic induction heating effects. Both in vitro and in vivo magnetic hyperthermia experimentation has demonstrated that magnetic hyperthermia by using the innovative Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers can induce MCF-7 breast cancer cell apoptosis and a complete tumor regression without appreciable side effects. The results have demonstrated that the innovative Fe0.6 Mn0.4 O nanoflowers can be a new magnetic theranostic platform for in vivo T1 -T2 dual-mode MRI and magnetic thermotherapy, thereby achieving a one-stop diagnosis cum effective therapeutic modality in cancer management.

Gd-nanoparticles functionalization with specific peptides for ß-amyloid plaques targeting. J Nanobiotechnology 2016; 14:60.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amyloidoses are characterized by the extracellular deposition of insoluble fibrillar proteinaceous aggregates highly organized into cross-β structure and referred to as amyloid fibrils. Nowadays, the diagnosis of these diseases remains tedious and involves multiple examinations while an early and accurate protein typing is crucial for the patients' treatment. Routinely used neuroimaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) using Pittsburgh compound B, [(11)C]PIB, provide structural information and allow to assess the amyloid burden, respectively, but cannot discriminate between different amyloid deposits. Therefore, the availability of efficient multimodal imaging nanoparticles targeting specific amyloid fibrils would provide a minimally-invasive imaging tool useful for amyloidoses typing and early diagnosis. In the present study, we have functionalized gadolinium-based MRI nanoparticles (AGuIX) with peptides highly specific for Aβ amyloid fibrils, LPFFD and KLVFF. The capacity of such nanoparticles grafted with peptide to discriminate among different amyloid proteins, was tested with Aβ(1-42) fibrils and with mutated-(V30M) transthyretin (TTR) fibrils. RESULTS The results of surface plasmon resonance studies showed that both functionalized nanoparticles interact with Aβ(1-42) fibrils with equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) values of 403 and 350 µM respectively, whilst they did not interact with V30M-TTR fibrils. Similar experiments, performed with PIB, displayed an interaction both with Aβ(1-42) fibrils and V30M-TTR fibrils, with Kd values of 6 and 10 µM respectively, confirming this agent as a general amyloid fibril marker. Thereafter, the ability of functionalized nanoparticle to target and bind selectively Aβ aggregates was further investigated by immunohistochemistry on AD like-neuropathology brain tissue. Pictures clearly indicated that KLVFF-grafted or LPFFD-grafted to AGuIX nanoparticle recognized and bound the Aβ amyloid plaque localized in the mouse hippocampus. CONCLUSION These results constitute a first step for considering these functionalized nanoparticles as a valuable multimodal imaging tool to selectively discriminate and diagnose amyloidoses.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles are widely used for biological applications thanks to their outstanding balance between magnetic properties, surface-to-volume ratio suitable for efficient functionalization and proven biocompatibility. Their development for MRI or magnetic particle hyperthermia concentrates much of the attention as these nanomaterials are already used within the health system as contrast agents and heating mediators. As such, the constant improvement and development for better and more reliable materials is of key importance. On this basis, this review aims to cover the rational design of iron oxide nanoparticles to be used as MRI contrast agents or heating mediators in magnetic hyperthermia, and reviews the state of the art of their use as nanomedicine tools.

Abstract
Gadolinium-based contrast agents are extensively used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents due to their outstanding signal enhancement and ease of chemical modification. However, it is increasingly recognized that information obtained from single modal molecular imaging cannot satisfy the higher requirements on the efficiency and accuracy for clinical diagnosis and medical research, due to its limitation and default rooted in single molecular imaging technique itself. To compensate for the deficiencies of single function magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, the combination of multi-modality imaging has turned to be the research hotpot in recent years. This review presents an overview on the recent developments of the functionalization of gadolinium-based contrast agents, and their application in biomedicine applications.

Abstract
Combination of complementary imaging techniques, like hybrid PET/MRI, allows protocols to be developed that exploit the best features of both. In order to get the best of these combinations the use of dual probes is highly desirable. On this sense the combination of biocompatible iron oxide nanoparticles and 68Ga isotope is a powerful development for the new generation of hybrid systems and multimodality approaches. Our objective was the synthesis and application of a chelator-free 68Ga-iron oxide nanotracer with improved stability, radiolabeling yield and in vivo performance in dual PET/MRI. We carried out the core doping of iron oxide nanoparticles, without the use of any chelator, by a microwave-driven protocol. The synthesis allowed the production of extremely small (2.5 nm) 68Ga core-doped iron oxide nanoparticles. The microwave approach allowed an extremely fast synthesis with a 90% radiolabeling yield and T1 contrast in MRI. With the same microwave approach the nano-radiotracer was functionalized in a fast and efficient way. We finally evaluated these dual targeting nanoparticles in an angiogenesis murine model by PET/MR imaging. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

T₁-MRI Fluorescent Iron Oxide Nanoparticles by Microwave Assisted Synthesis. NANOMATERIALS 2015; 5:1880-1890. [PMID: 28347101 PMCID: PMC5304808 DOI: 10.3390/nano5041880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2015] [Revised: 10/26/2015] [Accepted: 10/28/2015] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles have long been studied as a T2 contrast agent in MRI due to their superparamagnetic behavior. T1-based positive contrast, being much more favorable for clinical application due to brighter and more accurate signaling is, however, still limited to gadolinium- or manganese-based imaging tools. Though being the only available commercial positive-contrast agents, they lack an efficient argument when it comes to biological toxicity and their circulatory half-life in blood. The need arises to design a biocompatible contrast agent with a scope for easy surface functionalization for long circulation in blood and/or targeted imaging. We hereby propose an extremely fast microwave synthesis for fluorescein-labeled extremely-small iron oxide nanoparticles (fdIONP), in a single step, as a viable tool for cell labeling and T1-MRI. We demonstrate the capabilities of such an approach through high-quality magnetic resonance angiographic images of mice.

[PMID: 26520409 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2015.10.058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 202] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2015] [Revised: 10/20/2015] [Accepted: 10/22/2015] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Recently superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been extensively used in cancer therapy and diagnosis (theranostics) via magnetic targeting, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. due to their remarkable magnetic properties, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. However, the magnetic properties of SPIONs are influenced by various physicochemical and synthesis parameters. So, this review mainly focuses on the influence of spin canting effects, introduced by the variations in size, shape, and organic/inorganic surface coatings, on the magnetic properties of SPIONs. This review also describes the several predominant chemical synthesis procedures and role of the synthesis parameters for monitoring the size, shape, crystallinity and composition of the SPIONs. Moreover, this review discusses about the latest developments of the inorganic materials and organic polymers for encapsulation of the SPIONs. Finally, the most recent advancements of the SPIONs and their nanopackages in combination with other imaging/therapeutic agents have been comprehensively discussed for their effective usage as in vitro and in vivo theranostic agents in cancer treatments.
