Abstract Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new imaging modality, which maps the distribution of magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) in 3D with high temporal resolution. It thus may be suited for cardiovascular imaging. Its sensitivity and spatial resolution critically depend on the magnetic properties of MNP. Therefore, we used novel multicore nanoparticles (MCP 3) for in-vivo MPI in rats and analyzed dose requirements, sensitivity and detail resolution. 8 rats were examined using a preclinical MPI scanner (Bruker Biospin GmbH, Germany) equipped with a separate receive coil. MCP 3 and Resovist were administered intravenously (i.v.) into the rats’ tail veins at doses of 0.1, 0.05 and 0.025 mmol Fe/kg followed by serial MPI acquisition with a temporal resolution of 46 volumes per second. Based on a qualitative visual scoring system MCP 3–MPI images showed a significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher image quality than Resovist-MPI images. Morphological features such as vessel lumen diameters (DL) of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and abdominal aorta (AA) could be assessed along a 2-cm segment in mesenteric area only after administration of MCP 3 at dosages of 0.1, 0.05 mmol Fe/kg. The mean DL ± SD estimated was 2.7 ± 0.6 mm for IVC and 2.4 ± 0.7 mm for AA. Evaluation of DL of the IVC and AA was not possible in Resovist-MPI images. Our results show, that MCP 3 provide better image quality at a lower dosage than Resovist. MCP 3-MPI with a clinically acceptable dose of 0.05 mmol Fe/kg increased the visibility of vessel lumens compared to Resovist-based MPI towards possible detection of vascular abnormalities such as stenosis or aneurysms, in vivo.

ABSTRACTAdoptive cellular therapy (ACT) is a potent strategy to boost the immune response against cancer. ACT is an effective treatment for blood cancers, such as leukemias and lymphomas, but faces challenges treating solid tumors and cancers in locations like the brain. A critical step for success of ACT immunotherapy is achieving efficient trafficking of T cells to solid tumors, and the non-invasive and quantitative tracking of adoptively transferred T cell biodistribution would accelerate its development. Here, we demonstrate the use of Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) to non-invasively track ACT T cells in vivo. Labeling T cells with the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle tracer ferucarbotran did not affect T cell viability, phenotype, or cytotoxic function in vitro. Following ACT, ferucarbotran-labeled T cells were detected and quantified using MPI ex vivo and in vivo, in a mouse model of invasive brain cancer. Proof-of-principle in vivo MPI demonstrated its capacity to detect labeled T cells in lungs and liver after intravenous administration and to monitor T cell localization in the brain after intraventricular administration. Ex vivo imaging using MPI and optical imaging suggests accumulation of systemically administered ferucarbotran-labeled T cells in the brain, where MPI signal from ferucarbotran tracers and fluorescently tagged T cells were observed. Ex vivo imaging also suggest differential accumulation of nanoparticles and viable T cells in other organs like the spleen and liver. These results support the use of MPI to track adoptively transferred T cells and accelerate the development of ACT treatments for brain tumors and other cancers.

AbstractIntroductionMagnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new imaging modality that sensitively and specifically detects superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) within a sample. SPION-based MRI cell tracking has very high sensitivity, but low specificity and quantification of iron labeled cells is difficult. MPI cell tracking could overcome these challenges.MethodsMDM-AB-231BR cells labeled with MPIO, mice were intracardially injected with either 2.5 × 105 or 5.0 × 105 cells. MRI was performed in vivo the same day at 3T using a bSSFP sequence. After mice were imaged ex vivo with MPI. In a second experiment Mice received an intracardiac injection of either 2.5 × 10 5 or 5 × 10 4 MPIO-labeled 231BR cells. In a third experiment, mice were injected with 5 × 10 4 4T1BR cells, labelled with either MPIO or the SPION Vivotrax. MRI and MPI was performed in vivo.ResultsSignal from MPI and signal voids from MRI both showed more iron content in mice receiving an injection of 5.0 × 105 cells than the 2.5 × 105 injection. In the second experiment, Day 0 MRI showed signal voids and MPI signal was detected in all mouse brains. The MPI signal and iron content measured in the brains of mice that were injected with 2.5 × 10 5 cells were approximately four times greater than in brains injected with 5 × 10 4 cells. In the third experiment, in vivo MRI was able to detect signal voids in the brains of mice injected with Vivotrax and MPIO, although voids were fainter in Vivotrax labeled cells. In vivo MPI signal was only detectable in mice injected with MPIO-labeled cells.ConclusionThis is the first example of the use of MPIO for cell tracking with MPI. With an intracardiac cell injection, approximately 15% of the injected cells are expected to arrest in the brain vasculature. For our lowest cell injection of 5.0 × 104 cells this is ∼10000 cells.
