研究目的
Developing perfluorocarbon-based 19F MRI nanoprobes for in vivo multicolor imaging to monitor multiple biomolecular or cellular processes.
研究成果
The development of perfluorocarbon-encapsulated silica nanoparticles with distinct 19F NMR peaks enables in vivo multicolor 19F MRI, offering a practical tool for monitoring multiple biomolecular processes and evaluating the effect of surface functional groups on nanoparticle uptake in a single mouse. This technology holds promise for future applications in elucidating biomolecular networks in vivo.
研究不足
The study is limited by the need for further development of nanoprobes with on/off-switching ability in response to various stimuli and the exploration of their application in analyzing the dynamics of multiple enzymes or relationships of enzymes to diverse biological phenomena.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation of five types of perfluorocarbon-encapsulated silica nanoparticles (PFC@SiO2) with different chemical shifts for 19F MRI.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) to confirm their core–shell structures and sizes.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an 11 T 19F MRI scanner for imaging and TEM for structural analysis. Materials included various perfluorocarbons and silica nanoparticles.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Nanoparticles were prepared and characterized, followed by in vivo multicolor 19F MRI in mice to evaluate their imaging capabilities and the effect of surface functional groups on hepatic uptake.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The 19F MRI signals were analyzed for sensitivity and specificity, and the hepatic uptake of nanoparticles was quantified based on signal-to-noise ratios.
