Abstract A multifunctional nanoparticle, Super Paramagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticle-Carbon Dots (SPION-CDs), for fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging is introduced. This nanoparticle possesses the magnetic properties of super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SPION) core as well as the fluorescence characteristics of carbon dots (CDs) coated in mesoporous structure. The SPION-CDs were synthesized using a high temperature facile single-pot hydrothermal method. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/vis absorption, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The cytotoxic effect of SPION-CDs on OVCAR-3 cells was also evaluated. The synthesized nanoparticle possesses optimal size, low toxicity and excellent magnetic properties, including super-paramagnetic behavior (Ms = 42 emu g−1). Moreover, in the viewpoint of optical properties, the quantum yield of ~2.4% was obtained and the nanoparticle shows good fluorescence stability for cell-labeling studies. This multifunctional nanoparticle with appropriate characterization is a promising candidate for multimodal fluorescence/magnetic resonance imaging platform.

Inflammatory Status

AbstractIdentification of patients with high-risk asymptomatic carotid plaques remains a challenging but crucial step in stroke prevention. Inflammation is the key factor that drives plaque instability. Currently, there is no imaging tool in routine clinical practice to assess the inflammatory status within atherosclerotic plaques. We have developed a molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tool to quantitatively report the inflammatory activity in atherosclerosis using dual-targeted microparticles of iron oxide (DT-MPIO) against P-selectin and VCAM-1 as a smart MRI probe. A periarterial cuff was used to generate plaques with varying degree of phenotypes, inflammation and risk levels at specific locations along the same single carotid artery in an Apolipoprotein-E-deficient mouse model. Using this platform, we demonstrated that in vivo DT-MPIO-enhanced MRI can (i) target high-risk vulnerable plaques, (ii) differentiate the heterogeneity (i.e. high vs intermediate vs low-risk plaques) within the asymptomatic plaque population and (iii) quantitatively report the inflammatory activity of local plaques in carotid artery. This novel molecular MRI tool may allow characterisation of plaque vulnerability and quantitative reporting of inflammatory status in atherosclerosis. This would permit accurate risk stratification by identifying high-risk asymptomatic individual patients for prophylactic carotid intervention, expediting early stroke prevention and paving the way for personalised management of carotid atherosclerotic disease.
