MR molecular imaging of prostate cancer with a small molecular CLT1 peptide targeted contrast agent.
Tumor extracellular matrix has abundance of cancer related proteins that can be used as biomarkers for cancer molecular imaging. In this work, we demonstrated effective MR cancer molecular imaging with a small molecular peptide targeted Gd-DOTA monoamide complex as a targeted MRI contrast agent specific to clotted plasma proteins in tumor stroma. We performed the experiment of evaluating the ef...
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 کاملA Peptide Targeted Contrast Agent Specific to Fibrin−Fibronectin Complexes for Cancer Molecular Imaging with MRI
A peptide targeted contrast agent, CLT1-(Gd-DTPA), was synthesized for molecular imaging of fibronectin-fibrin complexes in tumor tissue with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The T(1) and T(2) relaxivities of CLT1-(Gd-DTPA) were 4.22 and 4.45 mM(-1) s(-1) at 3 T, respectively. The targeted contrast agent specifically bound to tumor tissue and resulted in significant tumor contrast enhancement ...
متن کاملHER2 Targeted Molecular MR Imaging Using a De Novo Designed Protein Contrast Agent
The application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to non-invasively assess disease biomarkers has been hampered by the lack of desired contrast agents with high relaxivity, targeting capability, and optimized pharmacokinetics. We have developed a novel MR imaging probe targeting to HER2, a biomarker for various cancer types and a drug target for anti-cancer therapies. This multimodal HER20tar...
متن کاملMolecular imaging with targeted contrast agents.
Molecular imaging with targeted contrast agents by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the noninvasive detection and characterization of biological changes on a molecular level. In this article, the principles of molecular MRI and its applications in cardiovascular diseases are reviewed. First, basic properties of positive and negative contrast agents are introduced and their effect on ...
