Manganese-Loaded Liposomes: An In Vitro Study for Possible Diagnostic Application. Molecules 2024; 29:3407. [PMID: 39064985 PMCID: PMC11280348 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29143407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study investigates the possible use of manganese (Mn)-based liposomal formulations for diagnostic applications in imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with the aim of overcoming the toxicity limitations associated with the use of free Mn2+. Specifically, anionic liposomes carrying two model Mn(II)-based compounds, MnCl2 (MC) and Mn(HMTA) (MH), were prepared and characterised in terms of morphology, size, loading capacity, and in vitro activity. Homogeneous dispersions characterised mainly by unilamellar vesicles were obtained; furthermore, no differences in size and morphology were detected between unloaded and Mn-loaded vesicles. The encapsulation efficiency of MC and MH was evaluated on extruded liposomes by means of ICP-OES analysis. The obtained results showed that both MC and MH are almost completely retained by the lipid portion of liposomes (LPs), with encapsulation efficiencies of 99.7% for MC and 98.8% for MH. The magnetic imaging properties of the produced liposomal formulations were investigated for application in a potential preclinical scenario by collecting magnetic resonance images of a phantom designed to compare the paramagnetic contrast properties of free MC and MH compounds and the corresponding manganese-containing liposome dispersions. It was found that both LP-MC and LP-MH at low concentrations (0.5 mM) show better contrast (contrast-to-noise ratios of 194 and 209, respectively) than solutions containing free Mn at the same concentrations (117 and 134, respectively) and are safe to use on human cells at the selected dose. Taken together, the results of this comparative analysis suggest that these liposome-containing Mn compounds might be suitable for diagnostic purposes.

Specificity of hexarhenium cluster anions for synthesis of Mn 2+-based nanoparticles with lamellar shape and pH-induced leaching for specific organ selectivity in MRI contrasting. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 659:1052-1062.

Abstract
The present work demonstrates the structure variation of hexarhenium anionic cluster units [{Re6S8}(CN)(6-n)(OH)n]4- (n = 0, 2, 4) as the strategy to develop Mn2+-containing nanoparticles (NPs) exhibiting pH-dependent leaching. The dicyanotetrahydroxo complex [{Re6S8}(CN)2(OH)4]4- is the optimal for the synthesis of the Mn2+-based NPs with a lamellar shape exhibiting the pH-dependent aggregation and magnetic relaxation behavior. The pH-dependent behavior of the NPs derives from the easy protonation of the apical hydroxo ligands of [{Re6S8}(CN)2(OH)4]4- cluster, which triggers partial leaching of Mn2+ ions and aggregation of the NPs driven by the surface neutralization. The in vivo MRI scanning of the mice intravenously injected with the NPs indicates the preferable accumulation of the lamellar NPs within mouse intestine over liver and kidneys. This differs from the spherical NPs constructed from [{Re6Se8}(CN)6]4- units, which provide the preferable brightening of mouse liver over kidneys and intestine.

Abstract
Cancer has become an increasingly important public health issue owing to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Although traditional treatment methods are relatively effective, they have limitations such as highly toxic side effects, easy drug resistance, and high individual variability. Meanwhile, emerging therapies remain limited, and their actual anti-tumor effects need to be improved. Nanotechnology has received considerable attention for its development and application. In particular, artificial nanocarriers have emerged as a crucial approach for tumor therapy. However, certain deficiencies persist, including immunogenicity, permeability, targeting, and biocompatibility. The application of erythrocyte-derived materials will help overcome the above problems and enhance therapeutic effects. Erythrocyte-derived materials can be acquired via the application of physical and chemical techniques from natural erythrocyte membranes, or through the integration of these membranes with synthetic inner core materials using cell membrane biomimetic technology. Their natural properties such as biocompatibility and long circulation time make them an ideal choice for drug delivery or nanoparticle biocoating. Thus, red blood cell-derived materials are widely used in the field of biomedicine. However, further studies are required to evaluate their efficacy, in vivo metabolism, preparation, design, and clinical translation. Based on the latest research reports, this review summarizes the biology, synthesis, characteristics, and distribution of red blood cell-derived materials. Furthermore, we provide a reference for further research and clinical transformation by comprehensively discussing the applications and technical challenges faced by red blood cell-derived materials in the treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
MRI contrast agents are required in the clinic to detect some pathologies, such as cancers. Nevertheless, at the moment, only small extracellular and non-specific gadolinium complexes are available for clinicians. Moreover, safety issues have recently emerged concerning the use of gadolinium complexes; hence, alternatives are urgently needed. Manganese-based MRI contrast agents could be one of these alternatives and increasing numbers of studies are available in the literature. This review aims at synthesizing all the research, from small Mn complexes to nanoparticular agents, including theranostic agents, to highlight all the efforts already made by the scientific community to obtain highly efficient agents but also evidence of the weaknesses of the developed systems.

Abstract
Due to the health risks associated with the use of Gd-chelates and the promising effects of using nanoparticles as T1 contrast agents (CAs) for MRI, Mn-based nanoparticles are considered a highly competitive alternative. The use of hybrid constructs with paramagnetic functionality of Mn-based nanoparticles is an effective approach, in particular, the use of biocompatible lipid liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LLCNPs) as a carrier of MnO nanoparticles. LLCNPs possess a unique internal structure ensuring a payload of different polarity MnO nanoparticles. In view of MRI application, the surface properties including the polarity of MnO are crucial factors determining their relaxation rate and thus the MRI efficiency. Two novel hybrid constructs consisting of LLCNPs loaded with hydrophobic MnO-oleate and hydrophilic MnO-DMSA NPs were prepared. These nanosystems were studied in terms of their physico-chemical properties, positive T1 contrast enhancement properties (in vitro and in vivo) and biological safety. LLCNPs@MnO-oleate and LLCNPs@MnO-DMSA hybrids exhibited a heterogeneous phase composition, however with differences in the inner periodic arrangement and structural parameters, as well as in the preferable localization of MnO NPs within the LLCNPs. Also, these hybrids differed in terms of particle size-related parameters and colloidal stability, which was found to be strongly dependent on the addition of differently functionalized MnO NPs. Embedding both types of MnO NPs into LLCNPs resulted in high relaxivity parameters, in comparison to bare MnO-DMSA NPs and also commercially developed CAs (e.g. Dotarem and Teslascan). Further biosafety studies revealed that cell internalization pathways were dependent on the prepared hybrid type, while viability, effects on the mitochondria membrane potential and cytoskeletal networks were rather related to the susceptibility of the particular cell line. The high relaxation rates achieved with the developed hybrid LLCNPs@MnO enable them to be possibly used as novel and biologically safe MRI T1-enhancing CAs in in vivo imaging.

Abstract
Medical imaging, which empowers the detection of physiological and pathological processes within living subjects, has a vital role in both preclinical and clinical diagnostics. Contrast agents are often needed to accompany anatomical data with functional information or to provide phenotyping of the disease in question. Many newly emerging contrast agents are based on nanomaterials as their high payloads, unique physicochemical properties, improved sensitivity and multimodality capacity are highly desired for many advanced forms of bioimaging techniques and applications. Here, we review the developments in the field of nanomaterial-based contrast agents. We outline important nanomaterial design considerations and discuss the effect on their physicochemical attributes, contrast properties and biological behaviour. We also describe commonly used approaches for formulating, functionalizing and characterizing these nanomaterials. Key applications are highlighted by categorizing nanomaterials on the basis of their X-ray, magnetic, nuclear, optical and/or photoacoustic contrast properties. Finally, we offer our perspectives on current challenges and emerging research topics as well as expectations for future advancements in the field.

Abstract
Imaging plays an integral role in diagnostics and treatment monitoring for conditions affecting the brain; enhanced brain imaging capabilities will improve upon both while increasing the general understanding of how the brain works. T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is the preferred modality for brain imaging. Commercially available contrast agents, which are often required to render readable brain images, have considerable toxicity concerns. In recent years, much progress has been made in developing new contrast agents based on the magnetic features of gadolinium, iron, or magnesium. Nanotechnological approaches for these systems allow for the protected integration of potentially harmful metals with added benefits like reduced dosage and improved transport. Polymeric enhancement of each design further improves biocompatibility while allowing for specific brain targeting. This review outlines research on polymeric nanomedicine designs for T1-weighted contrast agents that have been evaluated for performance in the brain.

Abstract
The silica nanoparticles (SNs) co-doped with paramagnetic ([Mn(HL)]n-,) and luminescent ([Ru(dipy)3]2+) complexes are represented. The specific distribution of [Mn(HL)]n- within the SNs allows to achieve about ten-fold enhancing in magnetic relaxivities in comparison with those of [Mn(HL)]n- in solutions. The leaching of [Mn(HL)]n- from the shell can be minimized through the co-doping of [Ru(dipy)3]2+ into the core of the SNs. The co-doped SNs exhibit colloid stability in aqueous solutions, including those modeling a blood serum. The surface of the co-doped SNs was also decorated by amino- and carboxy-groups. The cytotoxicity, hemoagglutination and hemolytic activities of the co-doped SNs are on the levels convenient for "in vivo" studies, although the amino-decorated SNs cause more noticeable agglutination and suppression of cell viability. The co-doped SNs being intravenously injected into mice allows to reveal their biodistribution in both ex vivo and in vivo conditions through confocal microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging correspondingly.

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.

Magnetic Iron Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Surface Enhancements, and Biological Challenges. Processes (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
This review focuses on the role of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), their physicochemical properties, their potential applications, and their association with the consequent toxicological effects in complex biologic systems. These MNPs have generated an accelerated development and research movement in the last two decades. They are solving a large portion of problems in several industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, water remediation, photoelectronics, and information storage, to name a few. As a result, more MNPs are put into contact with biological organisms, including humans, via interacting with their cellular structures. This situation will require a deeper understanding of these particles’ full impact in interacting with complex biological systems, and even though extensive studies have been carried out on different biological systems discussing toxicology aspects of MNP systems used in biomedical applications, they give mixed and inconclusive results. Chemical agencies, such as the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH) legislation for registration, evaluation, and authorization of substances and materials from the European Chemical Agency (ECHA), have held meetings to discuss the issue. However, nanomaterials (NMs) are being categorized by composition alone, ignoring the physicochemical properties and possible risks that their size, stability, crystallinity, and morphology could bring to health. Although several initiatives are being discussed around the world for the correct management and disposal of these materials, thanks to the extensive work of researchers everywhere addressing the issue of related biological impacts and concerns, and a new nanoethics and nanosafety branch to help clarify and bring together information about the impact of nanoparticles, more questions than answers have arisen regarding the behavior of MNPs with a wide range of effects in the same tissue. The generation of a consolidative framework of these biological behaviors is necessary to allow future applications to be manageable.

Novel Salinomycin-Based Paramagnetic Complexes-First Evaluation of Their Potential Theranostic Properties. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:2319. [PMID: 36365139 PMCID: PMC9692412 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14112319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
UNLABELLED Combining therapeutic with diagnostic agents (theranostics) can revolutionize the course of malignant diseases. Chemotherapy, hyperthermia, or radiation are used together with diagnostic methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In contrast to conventional contrast agents (CAs), which only enable non-specific visualization of tissues and organs, the theranostic probe offers targeted diagnostic imaging and therapy simultaneously. METHODS Novel salinomycin (Sal)-based theranostic probes comprising two different paramagnetic metal ions, gadolinium(III) (Gd(III)) or manganese(II) (Mn(II)), as signal emitting motifs for MRI were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectral analysis (IR), electroparamagnetic resonance (EPR), thermogravimetry (TG) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). To overcome the water insolubility of the two Sal-complexes, they were loaded into empty bacterial ghosts (BGs) cells as transport devices. The potential of the free and BGs-loaded metal complexes as theranostics was evaluated by in vitro relaxivity measurements in a high-field MR scanner and in cell culture studies. RESULTS Both the free Sal-complexes (Gd(III) salinomycinate (Sal-Gd(III) and Mn(II) salinomycinate (Sal-Mn(II)) and loaded into BGs demonstrated enhanced cytotoxic efficacy against three human tumor cell lines (A549, SW480, CH1/PA-1) relative to the free salinomycinic acid (Sal-H) and its sodium complex (Sal-Na) applied as controls with IC50 in a submicromolar concentration range. Moreover, Sal-H, Sal-Gd(III), and Sal-Mn(II) were able to induce perturbations in the cell cycle of treated colorectal and breast human cancer cell lines (SW480 and MCF-7, respectively). The relaxivity (r1) values of both complexes as well as of the loaded BGs, were higher or comparable to the relaxivity values of the clinically applied contrast agents gadopentetate dimeglumine and gadoteridol. CONCLUSION This research is the first assessment that demonstrates the potential of Gd(III) and Mn(II) complexes of Sal as theranostic agents for MRI. Due to the remarkable selectivity and mode of action of Sal as part of the compounds, they could revolutionize cancer therapy and allow for early diagnosis and monitoring of therapeutic follow-up.

Abstract
Manganese-zinc ferrite (MZF) is known as high-performance magnetic material and has been used in many fields and development. In the biomedical applications, the biocompatible MZF formulation attracted much attention. In this study, water-soluble amphiphilic vitamin E (TPGS, d-alpha-tocopheryl poly(ethylene glycol 1000) succinate) formulated MZF nanoparticles were synthesized to serve as both a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent and a vehicle for creating magnetically induced hyperthermia against cancer. The MZF nanoparticles were synthesized from a metallic acetylacetonate in an organic phase and further modified with TPGS using an emulsion and solvent-evaporation method. The resulting TPGS-modified MZF nanoparticles exhibited a dual-contrast ability, with a longitudinal relaxivity (35.22 s−1 mM Fe−1) and transverse relaxivity (237.94 s−1 mM Fe−1) that were both higher than Resovist®. Furthermore, the TPGS-assisted MZF formulation can be used for hyperthermia treatment to successfully suppress cell viability and tumor growth after applying an alternating current (AC) electromagnetic field at lower amplitude. Thus, the TPGS-assisted MZF theranostics can not only be applied as a potential contrast agent for MRI but also has potential for use in hyperthermia treatments.

Abstract
Significant attention is paid to the design of magnetoplasmonic nanohybrids, which exploit synergistic properties for biomedical applications. Here, a facile method was employed to prepare plasmonic magnetic Au-MnO heterostructured hybrid nanoparticles for imaging-guided photothermal therapy of cancers in vitro, with the view to reducing the serious drawbacks of chemotherapy and gadolinium-based contrast agents. The biocompatibility of the prepared Au-MnO nanocomposites was further enhanced by Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved triblock copolymers Pluronic® F-127 and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), with complementary support to enhance the absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region. In addition, synthesized COS-PF127@Au-MnO nanocomposites exhibited promising contrast enhancement in T1 MR imaging with a good r1 relaxivity value (1.2 mM-1 s-1), demonstrating a capable substitute to Gd-based toxic contrast agents. In addition, prepared COS-PF127@Au-MnO hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) produced sufficient heat (62 °C at 200 μg/mL) to ablate cancerous cells upon 808 nm laser irradiation, inducing cell toxicity, and apoptosis. The promising diagnostic and photothermal therapeutic performance demonstrated the appropriateness of the COS-PF127@Au-MnO HNPs as a potential theranostic agent.

Abstract
31 P-magnetic resonance (MR) is an important diagnostic technique currently used for tissue metabolites assessing, but it also has great potential for visualizing the internal body structures. However, due to the low physiological level of phosphorus-containing biomolecules, precise imaging requires the administration of an exogenous probe. Herein, we describe the synthesis and MR characterization of a pioneering metal-free 31 P-MR probe based on phosphorus-containing polymeric zwitterion. The developed probe (pTMPC) is a well-defined water-soluble macromolecule characterized by a high content of naturally rare phosphorothioate groups providing a high-intensity 31 P-MR signal clearly distinguishable from biological background both in vitro and in vitro. In addition, pTMPC can serve as a sensitive 31 P-MR sensor of pathological conditions in vivo because it undergoes oxidation-induced structural changes in the presence of reactive oxygen species. Add to this the favorable 1 H and 31 P T1 /T2 relaxation times and biocompatibility, pTMPC represents a conceptually new diagnostic, whose discovery opens up new possibilities in the field of 31 P-MR spectroscopy and imaging.

Abstract
Ultrasmall nanoparticles are potential candidates for application as high-performance imaging agents. Herein, we present the synthesis and characterization of folic acid (FA)-conjugated polyacrylic acid (PAA)-coated MnO nanoparticles with an average particle diameter of 2.7 nm. FA conferred cancer-targeting ability, while PAA conferred good colloidal stability and low cellular cytotoxicity on the FA-PAA-coated MnO nanoparticles. Further, the nanoparticles exhibited a high relaxivity (r1) value of 9.3 s−1mM−1 (r2/r1 = 2.2). Their application potential as cancer-targeting T1 magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents was confirmed by their enhanced T1 contrast enhancements at the brain cancer (U87MG) site upon intravenous administration to mice tails.

Abstract
Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have shown promising potential in biomedical applications since they provide a rapid, simple and robust way to construct multifunctional nanoplatforms. As a novel nanomaterial self-assembled from metal ions and polyphenols, MPNs can be prepared to assist the theranostics of cancer owing to their bio-adhesiveness, good biocompatibility, versatile drug loading, and stimuli-responsive profile. This Critical Review aims to summarize recent progress in MPN-based nanoplatforms for multimodal tumor therapy and imaging. First, the advantages of MPNs as drug carriers are summarized. Then, various tumor therapeutic modalities based on MPNs are introduced. Next, MPN-based theranostic systems are reviewed. In terms of in vivo applications, specific attention is paid to their biosafety, biodistribution, as well as excretion. Finally, some problems and limitations of MPNs are discussed, along with a future perspective on the field.

Abstract
The advancements of magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents (MRCAs) are continuously driven by the critical needs for early detection and diagnosis of diseases, especially for cancer, because MRCAs improve diagnostic accuracy significantly. Although hydrophilic gadolinium (III) (Gd3+) complex-based MRCAs have achieved great success in clinical practice, the Gd3+-complexes have several inherent drawbacks including Gd3+ leakage and short blood circulation time, resulting in the potential long-term toxicity and narrow imaging time window, respectively. Nanotechnology offers the possibility for the development of nontoxic MRCAs with an enhanced sensitivity and advanced functionalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic therapy. Herein, we provide an overview of recent successes in the development of renal clearable MRCAs, especially nanodots (NDs, also known as ultrasmall nanoparticles (NPs)) by unique advantages such as high relaxivity, long blood circulation time, good biosafety, and multiple functionalities. It is hoped that this review can provide relatively comprehensive information on the construction of novel MRCAs with promising clinical translation.

Abstract
Gadolinium (Gd)-based chelates are used as clinical T1 contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to their demonstrated high sensitivity and positive contrast enhancement capability. However, there has been an increasing safety concern about their use in medicine because of the toxicity of the metal ions released from these contrast agents when used in vivo. Although significant effort has been made in developing metal-free MRI contrast agents, none have matched the magnetic properties achieved by the gold standard clinical contrast agent, Gd diethylene penta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA). Here, we report the development of a single-layer, boron-doped graphene quantum dot (termed SL-BGQD) that demonstrates better T1 contrast enhancement than Gd-DTPA. The SL-BGQD is shown to provide significantly higher positive contrast enhancement than the Gd-DTPA contrast agent in imaging vital organs, including kidneys, liver, and spleen, and especially, vasculatures. Further, our results show that the SL-BQGD is able to bypass the blood-brain barrier and allows sustained imaging for at least one hour with a single injection. Hematological and histopathological analyses show that the SL-BGQD demonstrates a non-toxic profile in wild-type mice and may, therefore, serve as an improved, safer alternative to currently available clinical MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Aim: To elucidate the MRI mechanisms of manganese oxide-coated carbohydration nanosphere (Mn@CNS) for active targeting in hepatobiliary tumors. Materials & methods: The cytotoxicity, internalization pathway, metabolism and excretion pathway of Mn@CNS were assessed by several cell types. The MRI of Mn@CNS was verified via rat models bearing hepatobiliary tumors. Results: Mn@CNS showed no obvious cytotoxicity. Mice macrophage and hepatocellular Mn content significantly differed between pre- and post-uptake levels (p < 0.01). The animal experiment revealed fine T1 imaging of hepatobiliary tumors with peak enhancement at 3 h. Mn@CNS was metabolized within the cells and excreted mainly via feces. Conclusion: Mn@CNS is safe, biodegradable, and may serve as a new strategy for active target imaging and treatment applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a well-established medical invention in modern medical technology diagnosis. It is a nondestructive, versatile, and sensitive technique with a high spatial resolution for medical diagnosis. However, MRI has some limitations in differentiating certain tissues, particularly tiny blood vessels, pathological to healthy tissues, specific tumors, and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, and multiple sclerosis. The contrast agent (CA) assisted imaging is the best possible solution to resolve the limitations of MRI. METHOD The literature review was carried out using the keywords, "MRI, T1&T2 relaxation, MRI CAs, delivery and adverse effects, classification of CAs." The tools used for the literature search were PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. RESULT AND DISCUSSION The literature findings focus on MRI technique, limitations, and possible solutions. Primarily, the review focuses on the mechanism of CAs in image formation with detailed explanations of T1 and T2 relaxations, the mechanism of the MRI-CA image formations. This review presents the adverse effects of CA as well as available marketed formulations and recent patents to extent complete information about the MRI-CA. CONCLUSION MRI generates detailed visual information of various tissues with high resolution and contrast. The proton present in the biological fluid plays a crucial role in MR image formation, and it is unable to distinguish pathological conditions in many cases. The CAs are the best solution to resolve the limitation by interacting with native protons. The present review discusses the mechanism of CAs in contrast enhancement and its broad classification with the latest literature. Furthermore, the article presents information about CA biodistribution and adverse effects. The review concludes with an appropriate solution for adverse effects and presents the future prospective for researchers to develop advanced formulations.

Abstract
Nanocarriers sensitive to near infrared light (NIR) are useful templates for chemo-photothermal therapy (PTT) and imaging of tumors due to the ability to change the absorbed NIR energy to heat. The conventional photo-absorbing reagents lack the efficient loading and release of drug before reaching the target site leading to insufficient therapeutic outcomes. To overcome these limitations, the surface of nanocarriers can be modified with different polymers with wide functionalities to provide systems with diagnostic, therapeutic, and theranostic capabilities. Among various polymers, polydopamine (PDA) has been more interested due to complex structure with various chemical moieties, and the capacity to be used through different coating mechanism. In this review, we describe the complex structure, chemical properties, and coating mechanisms of PDA. Moreover, the advantage and surface modification of some relevant nanosystems based on carbon materials, gold, iron oxide, manganese, and upconverting nanomaterials by using PDA will be discussed, in detail.

Abstract
Multimodal long-term imaging probes with capability of extracting complementary information are highly important in biomedical engineering for disease diagnosis and monitoring of therapeutics distribution. However, most of the theranostics probes used are transient and have inherent problem of toxicity mostly related to generation of free radicals. In current study, a simple microwave assisted synthesis of multimodal imaging nanoprobe (T1 contrast in MR/fluorescence) is reported via doping carbon quantum dots into manganese oxide nanoparticles. The nanostructures were characterized by US-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, TEM, XRD, AFM and XPS. The average particle size was observed to be around 20-40 nm with a height of 7-9 nm and approximate quantum yield of 0.23. The nanostructures were useful for bio imaging and cell tracking via fluorescence microscopy up to 12 generations with nominal cytotoxicity. The material was capable of scavenging free radicals from cellular microenvironment and downregulate gene expression of free radical scavenging enzymes. The material has significant relaxivity (r1) value of 3.98 mM-1.sec-1 at 1.5 T. It was also observed to create significant contrast with high circulation time (30 min) and renal clearance property. The histological analysis of kidney and liver sections were observed to have no significant toxicity from the nanostructure.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics is one of the most important approaches for detecting and treating patients at an early stage. To develop such a technique, accurate detection, specific targeting, and controlled delivery are the key components. Various kinds of nanoparticles have been proposed and demonstrated as potential nanovehicles for cancer theranostics. Among them, polymer-like dendrimers and copolymer-based core-shell nanoparticles could potentially be the best possible choices. At present, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used for clinical purposes and is generally considered the most convenient and noninvasive imaging modality. Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) and gadolinium (Gd)-based dendrimers are the major nanostructures that are currently being investigated as nanovehicles for cancer theranostics using MRI. These structures are capable of specific targeting of tumors as well as controlled drug or gene delivery to tumor sites using pH, temperature, or alternating magnetic field (AMF)-controlled mechanisms. Recently, Gd-based pseudo-porous polymer-dendrimer supramolecular nanoparticles have shown 4-fold higher T1 relaxivity along with highly efficient AMF-guided drug release properties. Core-shell copolymer-based nanovehicles are an equally attractive alternative for designing contrast agents and for delivering anti-cancer drugs. Various copolymer materials could be used as core and shell components to provide biostability, modifiable surface properties, and even adjustable imaging contrast enhancement. Recent advances and challenges in MRI cancer theranostics using dendrimer- and copolymer-based nanovehicles have been summarized in this review article, along with new unpublished research results from our laboratories.

Abstract
Background Atherosclerosis, a major source of cardiovascular disease, is asymptomatic for decades until the activation of thrombosis and the rupture of enlarged plaques, resulting in acute coronary syndromes and sudden cardiac arrest. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive nuclear imaging technique to assess the degree of atherosclerotic plaque with high spatial resolution and excellent soft tissue contrast. However, MRI lacks sensitivity for preventive medicine, which limits the ability to observe the onset of vulnerable plaques. In this study, we engineered hybrid metal oxide-peptide amphiphile micelles (HMO-Ms) that combine an inorganic, magnetic iron oxide or manganese oxide inner core with organic, fibrin-targeting peptide amphiphiles, consisting of the sequence CREKA, for potential MRI imaging of thrombosis on atherosclerotic plaques. Results Hybrid metal oxide-peptide amphiphile micelles, consisting of an iron oxide (Fe-Ms) or manganese oxide (Mn-Ms) core with CREKA peptides, were self-assembled into 20–30 nm spherical nanoparticles, as confirmed by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. These hybrid nanoparticles were found to be biocompatible with human aortic endothelial cells in vitro, and HMO-Ms bound to human clots three to five times more efficiently than its non-targeted counterparts. Relaxivity studies showed ultra-high r2 value of 457 mM−1 s−1 and r1 value of 0.48 mM−1 s−1 for Fe-Ms and Mn-Ms, respectively. In vitro, MR imaging studies demonstrated the targeting capability of CREKA-functionalized hybrid nanoparticles with twofold enhancement of MR signals. Conclusion This novel hybrid class of MR agents has potential as a non-invasive imaging method that specifically detects thrombosis during the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Tissue specific T1/T2 dual contrast abilities for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have great significance in initial detection of cancer lesions. Herein, we developed a novel kind of Magnus nano-bullets (Mn-DTPA-F-MSNs) distinguished by magnetic (Fe3O4-NPs) head combined with mesoporous (SiO2) persist body, respectively. Subsequently, modify mesoporous SiO2 group and finally loaded with Mn2+. These Magnus nano-bullets have relaxivity value (r1 = 5.12 mM-1 s-1) and relaxivity value (r2 = 265.32 mM-1 s-1); they were > 2 folds in comparison to control at 3.0 T. Meanwhile, Magnus nano-bullets also offered significant enhancements for the detection of Glutathione (GSH), a biomarker that has been showed a redox responsive T1-weighted MRI effect in vitro and in vivo evaluations with good biocompatibility. Therefore, our finding endorses that Magnus nano-bullets offer a "smart" and tremendous strategy for greater GSH responsive T1/T2 dual MRI image probes for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
The idea of multifunctional nanomedicine that enters the human body to diagnose and treat disease without major surgery is a long-standing dream of nanomaterials scientists. Nanomaterials show incredible properties that are not found in bulk materials, but achieving multi-functionality on a single material remains challenging. Integrating several types of materials at the nano-scale is critical to the success of multifunctional nanomedicine device. Here, we describe the advantages of silica nanoparticles as a tool for multifunctional nano-devices. Silica nanoparticles have been intensively studied in drug delivery due to their biocompatibility, degradability, tunable morphology, and ease of modification. Moreover, silica nanoparticles can be integrated with other materials to obtain more features and achieve theranostic capabilities and multimodality for imaging applications. In this review, we will first compare the properties of silica nanoparticles with other well-known nanomaterials for bio-applications and describe typical routes to synthesize and integrate silica nanoparticles. We will then highlight theranostic and multimodal imaging application that use silica-based nanoparticles with a particular interest in real-time monitoring of therapeutic molecules. Finally, we will present the challenges and perspective on future work with silica-based nanoparticles in medicine.

Abstract
Chemotherapy has been widely applied in clinics. However, the therapeutic potential of chemotherapy against cancer is seriously dissatisfactory due to the nonspecific drug distribution, multidrug resistance (MDR) and the heterogeneity of cancer. Therefore, combinational therapy based on chemotherapy mediated by nanotechnology, has been the trend in clinical research at present, which can result in a remarkably increased therapeutic efficiency with few side effects to normal tissues. Moreover, to achieve the accurate pre-diagnosis and real-time monitoring for tumor, the research of nano-theranostics, which integrates diagnosis with treatment process, is a promising field in cancer treatment. In this review, the recent studies on combinational therapy based on chemotherapy will be systematically discussed. Furthermore, as a current trend in cancer treatment, advance in theranostic nanoparticles based on chemotherapy will be exemplified briefly. Finally, the present challenges and improvement tips will be presented in combination therapy and nano-theranostics.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in the clinic. To improve imaging quality, MRI contrast agents, which can modulate local T1 and T2 relaxation times, are often injected prior to or during MRI scans. However, clinically used contrast agents, including Gd3+-based chelates and iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), afford mediocre contrast abilities. To address this issue, there has been extensive research on developing alternative MRI contrast agents with superior r1 and r2 relaxivities. These efforts are facilitated by the fast progress in nanotechnology, which allows for preparation of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) with varied size, shape, crystallinity, and composition. Studies suggest that surface coatings can also largely affect T1 and T2 relaxations and can be tailored in favor of a high r1 or r2. However, the surface impact of NPs has been less emphasized. Herein, we review recent progress on developing NP-based T1 and T2 contrast agents, with a focus on the surface impact.

Abstract
The authors describe MnO nanoparticles (NPs) with unique excitation-dependent fluorescence across the entire visible spectrum. These NPs are shown to be efficient optical nanoprobe for multicolor cellular imaging. Synthesis of the NPs is accomplished by a thermal decomposition method. The MnO NPs exhibit a high r1 relaxivity of 4.68 mM-1 s-1 and therefore give an enhanced contrast effect in magnetic resonance (MR) studies of brain glioma. The cytotoxicity assay, hemolysis analysis, and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining tests verify that the MnO NPs are biocompatible. In the authors' perception, the simultaneous attributes of multicolor fluorescence and excellent MR functionality make this material a promising dual-modal nanoprobe for use in bio-imaging. Graphical abstract A direct method to synthesize fluorescent MnO NPs is reported. The NPs are biocompatible and have been successfully applied for multicolor cellular imaging and MR detection of brain glioma.

Abstract
Development of sensitive contrast agents for positive magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of biosystems still remains a great challenge. Herein, we report a facile process to construct hybrid alginate (AG) nanogels (NGs) loaded with manganese oxide (Mn3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) for enhanced tumor MR imaging. The obtained AG/PEI-Mn3O4 NGs with a mean size of 141.6 nm display excellent colloidal stability in aqueous solution and good cytocompatibility in the studied concentration range. Moreover, the hybrid NGs have a high r1 relaxivity of 26.12 mM-1 s-1, which is about 19.5 times higher than that of PEI-Mn3O4 NPs with PEI surface amine acetylated (PEI.Ac-Mn3O4 NPs). Furthermore, the AG/PEI-Mn3O4 NGs presented longer blood circulation time and better tumor MR imaging performances in vivo than PEI.Ac-Mn3O4 NPs. With the good biosafety confirmed by histological examinations, the developed AG/PEI-Mn3O4 NGs may be potentially used as an efficient contrast agent for enhanced MR imaging of different biosystems.

Abstract
The present work introduces an impact of polyelectrolyte-based hydrophilic shell on magnetic relaxivity and luminescence of hard cores built from isostructural complexes of Tb(III) and Gd(III) in the core-shell aqueous colloids. Microscopic and scattering techniques reveal "plum pudding" morphology of the colloids, where polyelectrolyte-coated ultrasmall (<5nm) hard cores form aggregates in aqueous solutions. Interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with the colloids provides a tool to modify the polyelectrolyte-based shell, which is the reason for the improvement in both aggregation behavior of the colloids and their relaxivity. The modification of the hydrophilic polyelectrolyte-based shell enables to tune the longitudinal relaxivity from 5.9 to 23.3mM-1s-1 at 0.47T. This tendency is the reason for significant improvement of contrasting effect of the colloids in T1- and T2-weighted images obtained by whole body scanner at 1.5T. High contrasting effect of the colloids, together with low cytotoxicity towards Wi-38 diploid human cells makes them promising MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of amyloid plaques is a powerful non-invasive approach for the early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) along with clinical observations of behavioral changes and cognitive impairment. The present article aims at giving a critical and comprehensive review of recent advances in the development of nanoparticle-based contrast agents for brain MRI. Nanoparticles considered for the MRI of AD must comply with a highly stringent set of requirements including low toxicity and the ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier. In addition, to reach an optimal signal-to-noise ratio, they must exhibit a specific ability to target amyloid plaques, which can be achieved by grafting antibodies, peptides or small molecules. Finally, we propose to consider new directions for the future of MRI in the context of Alzheimer's disease, in particular by enhancing the performances of contrast agents and by including therapeutic functionalities following a theranostic strategy.

Abstract
Prostate and breast cancer are the second most and most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women worldwide, respectively. The American Cancer Society estimates that during 2016 in the USA around 430,000 individuals were diagnosed with one of these two types of cancers, and approximately 15% of them will die from the disease. In Europe, the rate of incidences and deaths are similar to those in the USA. Several different more or less successful diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have been developed and evaluated in order to tackle this issue and thereby decrease the death rates. By using nanoparticles as vehicles carrying both diagnostic and therapeutic molecular entities, individualized targeted theranostic nanomedicine has emerged as a promising option to increase the sensitivity and the specificity during diagnosis, as well as the likelihood of survival or prolonged survival after therapy. This article presents and discusses important and promising different kinds of nanoparticles, as well as imaging and therapy options, suitable for theranostic applications. The presentation of different nanoparticles and theranostic applications is quite general, but there is a special focus on prostate cancer. Some references and aspects regarding breast cancer are however also presented and discussed. Finally, the prostate cancer case is presented in more detail regarding diagnosis, staging, recurrence, metastases, and treatment options available today, followed by possible ways to move forward applying theranostics for both prostate and breast cancer based on promising experiments performed until today.

The dynamic synergism of positron emission tomography (PET) and nanotechnology combines the sensitivity and quantitative nature of PET with the multifunctionality and tunability of nanomaterials, which can help overcome certain key challenges in the field. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in radionanomedicine, exemplifying the ability to tailor the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials to achieve optimal in vivo pharmacokinetics and targeted molecular imaging in living subjects. Innovations in development of facile and robust radiolabeling strategies and biomedical applications of such radionanoprobes in cancer theranostics are highlighted. Imminent issues in clinical translation of radiolabeled nanomaterials are also discussed, with emphasis on multidisciplinary efforts needed to quickly move these promising agents from bench to bedside.

Abstract
MRI is a sought-after, noninvasive tool in medical diagnostics, yet the direct application of contrast agents to tissue suffers from several drawbacks. Hosting the contrast agents in polymeric nanocarriers can solve many of these issues while creating additional benefit through exploitation of the intrinsic characteristics of the polymeric carriers. In this report, the versatility is highlighted with recent examples of dendritic and hyperbranched polymers, polymer nanoparticles and micelles, and polymersomes as multifunctional bioresponsive nanocarriers for MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the US alone, millions of workers, including over 300 000 welders, are at high risk of occupational manganese (Mn) exposure. Those who have been chronically exposed to excessive amount of Mn can develop severe neurological disorders similar, but not identical, to the idiopathic Parkinson's disease. One challenge of identifing the health effects of Mn exposure is to find a reliable biomarker for exposure assessment, especially for long-term cumulative exposure. APPROACH Mn's long biological half-life as well as its relatively high concentration in bone makes bone Mn (BnMn) a potentially valuable biomarker for Mn exposure. Our group has been working on the development of a deuterium-deuterium (D-D)-based neutron generator to quantify Mn in bone in vivo. Main results and significance: In this paper, we report the latest advancements in our system. With a customized hand irradiation assembly, a fully characterized high purity germanium (HPGe) detector system, and an acceptable hand dose of 36 mSv, a detection limit of 0.64 µg Mn/g bone (ppm) has been achieved.

Abstract
At the present time, imaging guided renal biopsy is used to provide diagnoses in most types of primary and secondary renal diseases. It has been claimed that renal biopsy can provide a link between diagnosis of renal disease and its pathological conditions. However, sometimes there is a considerable mismatch between patient renal outcome and pathological findings in renal biopsy. This is the time to address some new diagnostic methods to resolve the insufficiency of conventional percutaneous guided renal biopsy. Nanotechnology is still in its infancy in renal imaging; however, it seems that it is the next step in renal biopsy, providing solutions to the limitations of conventional modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of nanotechnology has led to rapid growth in various areas. Thus, health and safety issues of nanoparticles (NPs) should be promptly addressed. Manganese oxide (MnO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are typically used for biomedical and industrial applications. However, characterizing the potential human health effects of MnO2 NPs is required before fully exploiting these materials. The aim of this study was to investigate the toxicity of MnO2 micro- and nanoparticles on blood glucose level and lipid profile in male Wistar rats. METHODS A total of 105 rats were divided into one control and two experimental groups. Each experimental group received a single subcutaneous injection of MnO2 micro- and nanoparticles (100 μg/kg), respectively, every two weeks for 14 weeks. Their blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL levels were then measured. The data presented as mean±SEM and compared with the repeated measures using the Prism statistical software (version 6.0). RESULTS Biochemical assessment in plasma samples showed that MnO2 micro- and nanoparticles injection significantly (P<0.01) increased the plasma glucose and cholesterol levels in all and few weeks, respectively. MnO2 nanoparticles significantly (P<0.01) decreased the HDL level in weeks 6, 12, and 14, but MnO2 microparticles decreased the HDL level only in week 12. In both MnO2 micro- and nanoparticles groups, LDL alterations were near to the control group, except for week 10. However, the same treatment had no effect on triglycerides concentrations compared to the control group. CONCLUSION Our results show that exposure to nanosized particles at subchronic doses caused adverse changes in animal biochemical profiles, especially in glucose level. It seems that the high oxidative power of these particles is the main reason for these disturbances.
