Development of Novel Protein-Based MRI Contrast Agents for the Molecular Imaging of Cancer Biomarkers
Temporal and spatial molecular imaging of disease biomarkers using non-invasive MRI with high resolution is largely limited by lack of MRI contrast agents with high sensitivity, high specificity, optimized biodistribution and pharmacokinetics. In this dissertation, I report my Ph. D. work on the development of protein-based MRI contrast agents (ProCAs) specifically targeting different cancer bi...
متن کاملGRPR-targeted Protein Contrast Agents for Molecular Imaging of Receptor Expression in Cancers by MRI
Gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) is differentially expressed on the surfaces of various diseased cells, including prostate and lung cancer. However, monitoring temporal and spatial expression of GRPR in vivo by clinical MRI is severely hampered by the lack of contrast agents with high relaxivity, targeting capability and tumor penetration. Here, we report the development of a GRPR-targ...
متن کاملAn overview of responsive MRI contrast agents for molecular imaging.
This review focuses on MR contrast agents that are responsive to a change in physiological environment. The "response" mechanisms are dependent on 6 physicochemical phenomena, including the accessibility of water to the agent, rotational tumbling time, proton exchange rate, electron spin state, MR frequency, or local field inhomogenieties caused by the agent. These phenomena can be affected by ...
متن کاملA peptide-targeted MRI contrast agent for cancer molecular imaging
Introduction: Early detection and diagnosis of malignant tumors enable more efficacious cancer treatment at an earlier stage and improvement of cancer patients' survival and quality of the life. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful imaging modality for cancer detection and diagnosis. However, current clinically used contrast enhanced MRI is not effective for molecular imaging because ...
متن کاملPARASHIFT contrast agents - a new approach for molecular imaging by MRI
Introduction Paramagnetic contrast agents are traditionally used in MRI to enhance pathology based on differences in uptake of an injected agent. The common complexes of gadolinium act to produce a T1 shortening of the tissue water proportional to contrast agent concentration. Other agents, such as paramagnetic iron oxide preparations (SPIO or USPIOs) act via through-space distortion of the loc...
