Abstract
Here, we describe an easy but robust chemical strategy to synthesize high-performance magnetic resonance (MR)/near-infrared (NIR) multimodal imaging nanoprobes. Poly(γ-glutamic acid) was used for the convenient phase transfer of MnFe 2O 4 nanoparticles dispersed in organic solvents into aqueous solutions and facilitated further ionic gelation with poly(l-lysine). During the gelation process, MnFe 2O 4 nanoparticulate satellites were encapsulated in the ionic nanocomplex, which induced synergistic magnetism and resulted in huge T 2 relaxivity (r 2). The positively charged outer surfaces were assembled with other negatively charged NIR emitting fluorescent nanocrystals and enabled the highly efficient delivery of the magnetofluorescent polyelectrolyte nanocomposites (MagFL-PEN) into cancer cells. The enhancement of negative contrast of MagFL-PEN at 2 μg/mL concentration was similar to that of Resovist at 20 μg/mL concentration. The NIR fluorescence microscopy images of the MagFL-PEN-labeled cells even at 12.5 pM were able to be clearly observed. The labeling efficiency of MagFL-PEN was approximately 65-fold higher compared to that of the commercialized fluorescent nanocrystals, only after 3 h incubation period, even at the test concentration (100 pM). Due to the high-performance capabilities both in materials properties and cell labeling efficiency, the MagFL-PEN is expected to be used as a highly efficient MR/NIR dual-modality imaging nanoprobe in the detection of cancer cells and monitoring of therapeutic cells in vivo.
