JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133029. [PMID: 38042005 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
Tracking and imaging of nano-plastics are extremely challenging, especially in fresh biological samples. Here, we propose a new strategy in which polystyrene (PS) was doped with the europium chelate Eu (DBM)3bpy to quantify, track, and in situ image nano-plastics in fresh cucumber based on inherent metals using cryogenic laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (cryo-LA-ICP-MS). The cryogenic conditions provide a stable condition for imaging fresh cucumber, suppressing the evaporation of water in fresh plants, and maintaining the original structure of plants with respect to room temperature imaging in LA-ICP-MS. The plants were cultivated in two types of nano-plastics solutions with low (50 mg/L) and high (200 mg/L) concentrations for 9 days. The results showed that nano-plastics mainly enrich the roots and have negative effects, which decrease the trace elements of Zn, Mn, and Cu in cucumber. Smaller PS particles are able to penetrate the plant more easily and inflict serious damage. Novel imaging method provides a novel insight into the tracking and imaging of nano-plastics in fresh plant samples. The results illustrated that nano-plastics deposition on plants has the potential to have direct ecological effects as well as consequences for potential health.

Abstract
The gadolinium-based contrast agent Gadoxetic acid and the platinum-based antitumor agent Cisplatin were quantitatively imaged in liver and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) tissue of rats by means of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. HCC bearing rats simultaneously received a tail vein injection of the hepatocyte-specific magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent Gadoxetic acid and a transarterial injection of Cisplatin 15 min before sacrifice and liver removal. Resecting HCC with adjacent liver tissue allows the comparison of Gd, Pt, and endogenous elements like Fe, Cu, and Zn in the various tissue types. Region of interest analysis reveals lower concentrations of Gd in HCC and higher Gd content in the adjacent liver, fitting the selective uptake of Gadoxetic acid into hepatocytes. Furthermore, two malignancy grades and their possible impact on the Gadoxetic acid and Cisplatin uptake are compared. For this, four high grade (G3) and two moderate grade (G2) HCCs were analysed, including a control sample each. Gd concentrations were lower in HCC irrespective of the grade of dedifferentiation (G2, G3) compared to adjacent liver. Despite local arterial Cisplatin injection, concentrations of Pt were similar or also reduced in HCC compared to liver tissue. In addition, endogenous Fe, Cu, and Zn were quantified. While Zn was homogenously distributed, higher Fe concentrations were determined in liver tissue compared to HCC. Hotspots of Cu suggest a deregulated copper homeostasis in certain liver lesions. The Gd and Fe distributions are compared in detail with cellular alterations examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining.

Abstract
In this study, a laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) method for in-situ determination of yttrium and trace elements in yttrium-doped barium fluoride (BaF2: Y) crystals was proposed. A facile, micro-damage procedure for quantifying the segregation coefficient of doping elements was investigated, and it was found that the actual yttrium doping concentration increases from the seed end to the tail end in BaF2: Y crystals. In micro-area analysis, this method has higher mass sensitivity which was applied to quantify the impurity content and distribution during the growth of BaF2: Y crystals. Regression coefficient of calibration curve for each element ranged from 0.9918 to 0.9995. Detection limits (DLs) were 0.05, 0.03, 0.01 and 0.01 μg g-1 for Mg, Zn, Sr and Pb, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed method was verified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry/atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-MS/AES) with wet-chemical pretreatment. The objective of the presented work was to provide a less damaging and more novelty approach for crystal sample analysis.

Abstract
Background The use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) is linked to gadolinium retention in the skeleton of healthy individuals. The mechanism of gadolinium incorporation into bone tissue is not fully understood and requires spatially resolved analysis to locate the gadolinium. Purpose To compare the quantitative distribution of gadolinium retained over time in rodent femur following the administration of gadodiamide and gadobutrol at three different time points. Materials and Methods In this animal study conducted between May 2018 and April 2020, 108 9-week-old healthy rats were repeatedly injected with either gadodiamide, gadobutrol, or saline solution and were killed 1, 3, or 12 months after the last injection. The femurs of six female and six male rats per each group and time point were collected. Quantitative elemental imaging of gadolinium in longitudinal thin sections was performed on one sample per sex with use of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Gadolinium concentration was determined with use of ICP-MS on the samples of all animals (six per group). Mann-Whitney U tests were applied on pairwise comparisons to determine potential sex effect and GBCA effect on gadolinium concentrations. Results The highest gadolinium retention was observed in the gadodiamide group (concentration, 97-200 nmol · g-1), exceeding the mean concentration in the gadobutrol group (6.5-17 nmol · g-1). However, the gadolinium distribution pattern was similar for both contrast agents, showing prominent gadolinium retention at endosteal surfaces, in the bone marrow, and in small tissue pores. Gadolinium distribution in cortical bone changed over time, initially showing a thin rim of higher concentration close to the periosteum, which appeared to grow wider and move toward the interior of the femur over 1 year. Conclusion For both gadolinium-based contrast agents, gadolinium retention in rat bone was initially located close to the periosteum and bone cavities and changed with bone remodeling processes. The relevance to long-term storage of gadolinium in humans remains to be determined. © RSNA, 2022 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Collagen-Specific Molecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Prostate Cancer. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 24:ijms24010711.

Abstract
Constant interactions between tumor cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) influence the progression of prostate cancer (PCa). One of the key components of the ECM are collagen fibers, since they are responsible for the tissue stiffness, growth, adhesion, proliferation, migration, invasion/metastasis, cell signaling, and immune recruitment of tumor cells. To explore this molecular marker in the content of PCa, we investigated two different tumor volumes (500 mm3 and 1000 mm3) of a xenograft mouse model of PCa with molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using a collagen-specific probe. For in vivo MRI evaluation, T1-weighted sequences before and after probe administration were analyzed. No significant signal difference between the two tumor volumes could be found. However, we detected a significant difference between the signal intensity of the peripheral tumor area and the central area of the tumor, at both 500 mm3 (p < 0.01, n = 16) and at 1000 mm3 (p < 0.01, n = 16). The results of our histologic analyses confirmed the in vivo studies: There was no significant difference in the amount of collagen between the two tumor volumes (p > 0.05), but within the tumor, higher collagen expression was observed in the peripheral area compared with the central area of the tumor. Laser ablation with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry further confirmed these results. The 1000 mm3 tumors contained 2.8 ± 1.0% collagen and the 500 mm3 tumors contained 3.2 ± 1.2% (n = 16). There was a strong correlation between the in vivo MRI data and the ex vivo histological data (y = −0.068x + 1.1; R2 = 0.74) (n = 16). The results of elemental analysis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry supported the MRI data (y = 3.82x + 0.56; R2 = 0.79; n = 7). MRI with the collagen-specific probe in PCa enables differentiation between different tumor areas. This may help to differentiate tumor from healthy tissue, potentially identifying tumor areas with a specific tumor biology.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to non-invasively differentiate the degree of malignancy in two murine breast cancer models based on identification of distinct tissue characteristics in a metastatic and non-metastatic tumor model using a multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) approach. Methods The highly metastatic 4T1 breast cancer model was compared to the non-metastatic 67NR model. Imaging was conducted on a 9.4 T small animal MRI. The protocol was used to characterize tumors regarding their structural composition, including heterogeneity, intratumoral edema and hemorrhage, as well as endothelial permeability using apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), T1/T2 mapping and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging. Mice were assessed on either day three, six or nine, with an i.v. injection of the albumin-binding contrast agent gadofosveset. Ex vivo validation of the results was performed with laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), histology, immunhistochemistry and electron microscopy. Results Significant differences in tumor composition were observed over time and between 4T1 and 67NR tumors. 4T1 tumors showed distorted blood vessels with a thin endothelial layer, resulting in a slower increase in signal intensity after injection of the contrast agent. Higher permeability was further reflected in higher Ktrans values, with consecutive retention of gadolinium in the tumor interstitium visible in MRI. 67NR tumors exhibited blood vessels with a thicker and more intact endothelial layer, resulting in higher peak enhancement, as well as higher maximum slope and area under the curve, but also a visible wash-out of the contrast agent and thus lower Ktrans values. A decreasing accumulation of gadolinium during tumor progression was also visible in both models in LA-ICP-MS. Tissue composition of 4T1 tumors was more heterogeneous, with intratumoral hemorrhage and necrosis and corresponding higher T1 and T2 relaxation times, while 67NR tumors mainly consisted of densely packed tumor cells. Histogram analysis of ADC showed higher values of mean ADC, histogram kurtosis, range and the 90th percentile (p90), as markers for the heterogenous structural composition of 4T1 tumors. Principal component analysis (PCA) discriminated well between the two tumor models. Conclusions Multiparametric MRI as presented in this study enables for the estimation of malignant potential in the two studied tumor models via the assessment of certain tumor features over time.

Abstract
Hemoglobin-iron is a red-blood-cell toxin contributing to secondary brain injury after intracranial bleeding. We present a model to visualize an intracerebral hematoma and secondary hemoglobin-iron distribution by detecting 58Fe-labeled hemoglobin (Hb) with laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry on mouse brain cryosections after stereotactic whole blood injection for different time periods. The generation of 58Fe-enriched blood and decisive steps in the acute hemorrhage formation and evolution was evaluated. The model allows to visualize and quantify 58Fe with high spatial resolution and striking signal-to-noise ratio. Script-based evaluation of the delocalization-depth revealed ongoing 58Fe delocalization in the brain even six days after hematoma induction. Collectively, the model can quantify the distribution of Hb-derived iron post-bleeding, providing a methodological framework to study the pathophysiological basis of cell-free Hb toxicity in hemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
Due to the increasing use and production of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs), the likelihood of exposure especially via the air rapidly grows. However, the uptake of CeO2 NPs via the lung and the resulting distribution into various cell types of remote organs are not well understood because classical analytical methods provide limited spatial information. In this study, laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was combined with immunohistochemical (IHC) staining with lanthanide-labeled antibodies to investigate the distribution of intratracheally instilled CeO2 NPs from the rat lung to lymph nodes, spleen, and liver after 3 h, 3 days, and 21 days. We selected regions of interest after fast imaging using LA-ICP-MS in low-resolution mode and conducted high-resolution LA-ICP-MS in combination with IHC for cellular localization. The lanthanide labeling, which was largely congruent with conventional fluorescent labeling, allowed us to calculate the association rates of Ce to specific cell types. Major portions of Ce were found to be associated with phagocytic cells in the lung, lymph nodes, spleen, and liver. In the lung, almost 94% of the Ce was co-localized with CD68-positive alveolar macrophages after 21 days. Ce was also detected in the lymph nodes outside macrophages 3 h post instillation but shifted to macrophage-associated locations. In the liver, Ce accumulations associated with Kupffer cells (CD163-positive) were found. Ce-containing populations of metallophilic and marginal zone macrophages (both CD169-positive) as well as red pulp macrophages (CD68-positive) were identified as major targets in the spleen. Overall, high-resolution LA-ICP-MS analysis in combination with IHC staining with lanthanide-labeled antibodies is a suitable tool to quantify and localize Ce associated with specific cell types and to estimate their particle burden under in vivo conditions.
