Influence of SPION Surface Coating on Magnetic Properties and Theranostic Profile. Molecules 2024; 29:1824. [PMID: 38675647 PMCID: PMC11052394 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29081824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to develop multifunctional nanoplatforms for both cancer imaging and therapy using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). Two distinct synthetic methods, reduction-precipitation (MR/P) and co-precipitation at controlled pH (MpH), were explored, including the assessment of the coating's influence, namely dextran and gold, on their magnetic properties. These SPIONs were further functionalized with gadolinium to act as dual T1/T2 contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Parameters such as size, stability, morphology, and magnetic behavior were evaluated by a detailed characterization analysis. To assess their efficacy in imaging and therapy, relaxivity and hyperthermia experiments were performed, respectively. The results revealed that both synthetic methods lead to SPIONs with similar average size, 9 nm. Mössbauer spectroscopy indicated that samples obtained from MR/P consist of approximately 11-13% of Fe present in magnetite, while samples obtained from MpH have higher contents of 33-45%. Despite coating and functionalization, all samples exhibited superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature. Hyperthermia experiments showed increased SAR values with higher magnetic field intensity and frequency. Moreover, the relaxivity studies suggested potential dual T1/T2 contrast agent capabilities for the coated SPpH-Dx-Au-Gd sample, thus demonstrating its potential in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents (CAs) for clinical magnetic resonance imaging are facing the problems of low longitudinal relaxivity (r1) and toxicity caused by gadolinium deposition. Manganese-based small molecule complexes and manganese oxide nanoparticles (MONs) are considered as potential alternatives to Gd-based CAs due to their better biocompatibility, but their relatively low r1 values and complicated synthesis routes slow down their clinical translation. Herein, we presented a facile one-step co-precipitation method to prepare MONs using poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) as a coating agent (MnO2/PAA NPs), which exhibited good biocompatibility and high r1 values. A series of MnO2/PAA NPs with different particle sizes were prepared and the relationship between the particle size and r1 was studied, revealing that the MnO2/PAA NPs with a particle size of 4.9 nm exhibited higher r1. The finally obtained MnO2/PAA NPs had a high r1 value (29.0 Mn mM-1 s-1) and a low r2/r1 ratio (1.8) at 1.5 T, resulting in a strong T1 contrast enhancement. In vivo magnetic resonance angiography with Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats further proved that the MnO2/PAA NPs showed better angiographic performance at low-dosage administration than commercial Gadovist® (Gd-DO3A-Butrol). Moreover, the MnO2/PAA NPs could be rapidly cleared out after imaging, which effectively minimized the toxic side effects. The MnO2/PAA NPs are promising candidates for MR imaging of vascular diseases.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has tremendous promise, but it has yet to be clinically applied in a wider variety of tumor situations. Many therapeutic combinations are envisaged to improve their effectiveness. In this way, strategies capable of inducing immunogenic cell death (e.g., doxorubicin, radiotherapy, hyperthermia) and the reprogramming of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) (e.g., M2-to-M1-like macrophages repolarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs)) are particularly appealing to enhance the efficacy of approved immunotherapies (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors, ICIs). Due to their modular construction and versatility, iron oxide-based nanomedicines such as superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) can combine these different approaches in a single agent. SPIONs have already shown their safety and biocompatibility and possess both drug-delivery (e.g., chemotherapy, ICIs) and magnetic capabilities (e.g., magnetic hyperthermia (MHT), magnetic resonance imaging). In this review, we will discuss the multiple applications of SPIONs in cancer immunotherapy, focusing on their theranostic properties to target TAMs and to generate MHT. The first section of this review will briefly describe immune targets for NPs. The following sections will deal with the overall properties of SPIONs (including MHT). The last section is dedicated to the SPION-induced immune response through its effects on TAMs and MHT.

Abstract
The influence of oleylamine (OLA) concentration on the crystallography, morphology, surface chemistry, chemical bonding, and magnetic properties of solvothermal synthesized CoFe2O4 (CFO) nanoparticles (NPs) has been thoroughly investigated. Varying OLA concentration (0.01-0.1 M) resulted in the formation of cubic spinel-structured CoFe2O4 NPs in the size-range of 20-14 (±1) nm. The Fourier transform spectroscopic analyses performed confirmed the OLA binding to the CFO NPs. The thermogravimetric measurements revealed monolayer and multilayer coating of OLA on CFO NPs, which were further supported by the small-angle X-ray scattering measurements. The magnetic measurements indicated that the maximum saturation (MS) and remanent (Mr) magnetization decreased with increasing OLA concentration. The ratio of maximum dipolar field (Hdip), coercivity (HC), and exchanged bias field (Hex) (at 10 K) to the average crystallite size (Dxrd), i.e., (Hdip/Dxrd), (HC/Dxrd), and (Hex/Dxrd), increased linearly with OLA concentration, indicating that OLA concurrently controls the particle size and interparticle interaction among the CFO NPs. The results and analyses demonstrate that the OLA-mediated synthesis allowed for modification of the structural and magnetic properties of CFO NPs, which could readily find potential application in electronics and biomedicine.

Abstract
![]()
Introduction: Due to the side effects of drugs, the development of nanoscale drug delivery systems has led to a significant improvement in medicinal therapies due to drug pharmacokinetics changes, decreased toxicity, and increased half-life of the drug. This study aimed to synthesize tamoxifen (TMX)-loaded L-lysine coated magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as a nano-carrier to investigate its cytotoxic effects and anti-cancer properties against MCF-7 cancer cells.
Methods: Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized and coated with L-lysine (F-Lys NPs). Then, TMX was loaded onto these NPs. The characteristics of synthesized nanoparticles (F-Lys-TMX NPs) were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The drug release was analyzed at pH 5.8 and pH 7.4. The MCF-7 cells were exposed to F-Lys-TMX NPs, F-Lys NPs, and TMX for 24, 48, and 72 hours. To evaluate the cytotoxic potential of designed nanoparticles, MTT and apoptosis assays, real-time PCR, and cell cycle analysis was carried out.
Results: The F-Lys-TMX NPs had spherical morphology with a size ranging from 9 to 30 nm. By increasing the nanoparticles concentration and treatment time, more cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction were observed in F-Lys-TMX NPs-treated cells compared to the TMX. The expression levels of ERBB2, cyclin D1, and cyclin E genes were down-regulated and expression levels of the caspase-3 and caspase-9 genes were up-regulated. Studies on the drug release revealed a slow and controlled pH-dependent release of the nanoparticles. Cell cycle analysis indicated that F-Lys-TMX NPs could arrest the cells at the G0/G1 phase.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that F-Lys-TMX NPs are more effective and have the potential for cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction compared to the TMX. Hence, F-Lys-TMX NPs can be considered as an anti-cancer agent against MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Iron oxide and hafnium oxide nanocrystals are two of the few successful examples of inorganic nanocrystals used in a clinical setting. Although crucial to their application, their aqueous surface chemistry is not fully understood. The literature contains conflicting reports regarding the optimum binding group. To alleviate these inconsistencies, we set out to systematically investigate the interaction of carboxylic acids, phosphonic acids, and catechols to metal oxide nanocrystals in polar media. Using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering, we map out the pH-dependent binding affinity of the ligands toward hafnium oxide nanocrystals (an NMR-compatible model system). Carboxylic acids easily desorb in water from the surface and only provide limited colloidal stability from pH 2 to pH 6. Phosphonic acids, on the other hand, provide colloidal stability over a broader pH range but also feature a pH-dependent desorption from the surface. They are most suited for acidic to neutral environments (pH <8). Finally, nitrocatechol derivatives provide a tightly bound ligand shell and colloidal stability at physiological and basic pH (6-10). Whereas dynamically bound ligands (carboxylates and phosphonates) do not provide colloidal stability in phosphate-buffered saline, the tightly bound nitrocatechols provide long-term stability. We thus shed light on the complex ligand binding dynamics on metal oxide nanocrystals in aqueous environments. Finally, we provide a practical colloidal stability map, guiding researchers to rationally design ligands for their desired application.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been extensively investigated during the last couple of decades because of their potential applications across various disciplines ranging from spintronics to nanotheranostics. However, pure iron oxide nanoparticles cannot meet the requirement for practical applications. Doping is considered as one of the most prominent and simplest techniques to achieve optimized multifunctional properties in nanomaterials. Doped iron oxides, particularly, rare-earth (RE) doped nanostructures have shown much-improved performance for a wide range of biomedical applications, including magnetic hyperthermia and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), compared to pure iron oxide. Extensive investigations have revealed that bigger-sized RE ions possessing high magnetic moment and strong spin-orbit coupling can serve as promising dopants to significantly regulate the properties of iron oxides for advanced biomedical applications. This review provides a detailed investigation on the role of RE ions as primary dopants for engineering the structural and magnetic properties of Fe3 O4 nanoparticles to carefully introspect and correlate their impact on cancer theranostics with a special focus on magnetic hyperthermia and MRI. In addition, prospects for achieving high-performance magnetic hyperthermia and MRI are thoroughly discussed. Finally, suggestions on future work in these two areas are also proposed.

Abstract
In recent years, the continuous development of magnetic nanostructures (MNSs) has tremendously promoted both fundamental scientific research and technological applications. Different from the bulk magnet, the systematic engineering on MNSs has brought a great breakthrough in some emerging fields such as the construction of MNSs, the magnetism exploration of multidimensional MNSs, and their potential translational applications. In this review, we give a detailed description of the synthetic strategies of MNSs based on the fundamental features and application potential of MNSs and discuss the recent progress of MNSs in the fields of nanomedicines, advanced nanobiotechnology, catalysis, and electromagnetic wave adsorption (EMWA), aiming to provide guidance for fabrication strategies of MNSs toward diverse applications.

Abstract
This review covers extensively the synthesis & surface modification, characterization, and application of magnetic nanoparticles. For biomedical applications, consideration should be given to factors such as design strategies, the synthesis process, coating, and surface passivation. The synthesis method regulates post-synthetic change and specific applications in vitro and in vivo imaging/diagnosis and pharmacotherapy/administration. Special insights have been provided on biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity in a living system, which is imperative for their wider application in biology. These nanoparticles can be decorated with multiple contrast agents and thus can also be used as a probe for multi-mode imaging or double/triple imaging, for example, MRI-CT, MRI-PET. Similarly loading with different drug molecules/dye/fluorescent molecules and integration with other carriers have found application not only in locating these particles in vivo but simultaneously target drug delivery/hyperthermia inside the body. Studies are underway to collect the potential of these magnetically driven nanoparticles in various scientific fields such as particle interaction, heat conduction, imaging, and magnetism. Surely, this comprehensive data will help in the further development of advanced techniques for theranostics based on high-performance magnetic nanoparticles and will lead this research area in a new sustainable direction.

Abstract
Rapid advances in nanotechnology have opened up innovative trails to break through the current limitation in clinical treatments of cancer and other critical diseases that plague human beings. Ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USIO NPs) with sizes smaller than 5 nm have been emerging as a novel category of nanomaterials with increasing interest in the biomedical domains. To overcome their intrinsic shortcomings, naked USIO NPs can be functionalized, clustered, assembled, or incorporated with other nanomaterials to generate various kinds of intelligent nanoplatforms for single-mode or dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, multimode imaging, as well as imaging-guided precision therapy. In this spotlight on applications, first, we propose the principal aspects in the design and application of USIO NPs for biomedical uses. Second, we cover the recent design strategies of USIO NP-based nanoplatforms mainly developed by our group, describe the rationale on the combination of other functional materials with USIO NPs, and review their resultant applications in theranostics. In addition, we provide herein a perspective on the possible future directions toward USIO NP-based nanoplatforms as smart nanomedicines.

Abstract
Composite materials are made from two or more constituent materials with distinct physical or chemical properties that, when combined, produce a material with characteristics which are at least to some degree different from its individual components. Nanocomposite materials are composed of different materials of which at least one has nanoscale dimensions. Common types of nanocomposites consist of a combination of two different elements, with a nanoparticle that is linked to, or surrounded by, another organic or inorganic material, for example in a core-shell or heterostructure configuration. A general family of nanoparticle composites concerns the coating of a nanoscale material by a polymer, SiO2 or carbon. Other materials, such as graphene or graphene oxide (GO), are used as supports forming composites when nanoscale materials are deposited onto them. In this Review we focus on magnetic nanocomposites, describing their synthetic methods, physical properties and applications. Several types of nanocomposites are presented, according to their composition, morphology or surface functionalization. Their applications are largely due to the synergistic effects that appear thanks to the co-existence of two different materials and to their interface, resulting in properties often better than those of their single-phase components. Applications discussed concern magnetically separable catalysts, water treatment, diagnostics-sensing and biomedicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus, a disease of glucose regulation, has become one of the most common medical problems in the world. At present, alternative therapy for diabetes has, to a large extent, been widely concerned with the improvement of treatment efficacy. The aims of this study were to characterize and evaluate the surface morphology of the novel glucose-responsive injectable microspheres containing insulin, along with their in vitro release and in vivo efficacy. METHODS In this study, glucose-responsive microspheres as an emerging smart drug delivery system for controlled release of insulin were developed by an improved water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsion preparation method. Here, methoxypolyethylene glycol-hydrazone-4-methoxypolyethylene glycol benzoate (mPEG-Hz-mPEG4AB) was synthesized as a pH-responsive carrier. RESULTS The microspheres had a good spherical structure with a particle size of 5 ~ 10 μm. Approximately 61% of insulin was released in 15 h under a high glucose environment but was barely released within the normal glucose range in in vitro studies. After a subcutaneous injection of insulin microspheres in rats, blood glucose levels rapidly decreased within 2 h and could be maintained for 2 days in the normal range. Histopathological evaluation indicated that the microspheres were almost non-irritating. CONCLUSIONS The pH-responsive mPEG-Hz-mPEG4AB could be used as an efficient insulin microsphere carrier, and the optimized microspheres had good morphology and sustained hypoglycemic effect.

Abstract
In this communication, a paramagnetic bifunctional manganese(ii) chelate ([Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2-) containing a catechol group is designed and synthesized. The catechol can bind iron ions on the surface of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanocrystals to form core-shell nanoparticles. Both 4 and 7 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- show good water solubility, single-crystal dispersion, and low cytotoxicity. The study of the interplay between the longitudinal and transverse relaxation revealed that 4 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- with lower r 2/r 1 = 1.75 at 0.5 T tends to be a perfect T 1 contrast agent while 7 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- with a higher r 2/r 1 = 15.0 at 3.0 T tends to be a T 2 contrast agent. Interestingly, 4 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- with an intermediate value of r 2/r 1 = 5.26 at 3.0 T could act as T 1-T 2 dual-modal contrast agent. In vivo imaging with the 4 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- nanoparticle shows unique imaging features: (1) long-acting vascular imaging and different signal intensity changes between the liver parenchyma and blood vessels with the CEMRA sequence; (2) the synergistic contrast enhancement of hepatic imaging with the T 1WI and T 2WI sequence. In summary, these Fe/Mn hybrid core-shell nanoparticles, with their ease of synthesis, good biocompatibility, and synergistic contrast enhancement ability, may provide a useful method for tissue and vascular MR imaging.

Abstract
Development of T1/T2 dual-mode MRI contrast agents that can also treat cancer is an attractive prospect for personalized precision medicine. Unfortunately, conventional contrast agents can suffer from toxicity and lack any ability to treat cancer. An all-iron T1/T2 MR imaging agent with photothermal and drug delivery capability would overcome these issues. Here, an avocado-like Fe3+/Fe2O3 composed T1-T2 dual-mode contrast agent based on Fe-TA coordination network (CNMN) is developed. This material possesses suitable longitudinal and transverse relaxation coefficients. Moreover, the strong heat generation property of Fe-TA endows CNMN with the capability to act as a potent photothermal agent. Furthermore, CNMN can also act as an effective delivery platform for the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) to achieve high effective chemo-photothermal combination therapy. The work demonstrates reliable T1-T2 MRI-guided chemo-photothermal therapy for safe and effective clinical application.

Abstract
There is urgency for the development of nanomaterials that can meet emerging biomedical needs. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) offer high magnetic moments and surface-area-to-volume ratios that make them attractive for hyperthermia therapy of cancer and targeted drug delivery. Additionally, they can function as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and can improve the sensitivity of biosensors and diagnostic tools. Recent advancements in nanotechnology have resulted in the realization of the next generation of MNPs suitable for these and other biomedical applications. This review discusses methods utilized for the fabrication and engineering of MNPs. Recent progress in the use of MNPs for hyperthermia therapy, controlling drug release, MRI, and biosensing is also critically reviewed. Finally, challenges in the field and potential opportunities for the use of MNPs toward improving their properties are discussed.

Abstract
An ultra-sensitive T2-weighted MR imaging contrast agent was prepared based on Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Gd3+ ions (Fe3O4@Gd). Amino modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles were conjugated to diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, and finally coordinated with Gd3+ ions. The nanoparticles had a uniform morphology with a size of 100 nm and a Gd/Fe mass ratio of 1/110. The r2 (transverse relaxivity) of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles increased from 131.89 mM−1 s−1 to 202.06 mM−1 s−1 after coordination with Gd3+ ions. MR measurements showed that the aqueous dispersion of Fe3O4@Gd nanoparticles had an obvious concentration-dependent negative contrast enhancement. Hepatoma cells were selected to test the cytotoxicity and MR imaging effect. The application of Fe3O4@Gd nanoparticles as contrast agents was also exploited in vivo for T2-weighted MR imaging of rat livers. All the results showed the effectiveness of the nanoparticles in MR diagnosis. An ultra-sensitive T2-weighted MR imaging contrast agent was prepared based on Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Gd3+ ions (Fe3O4@Gd).![]()

Abstract
Owing to the importance of multifunctional theranostics as promising systems to overcome key problems of conventional cancer therapy, in this study a multifunctional metal-organic framework-based (MOF) theranostic system was prepared and applied as intelligent theranostic systems in cancer. Iron-based MOF, MIL-88B, in a multi-faceted shape was initially prepared. Curcumin (Cur) was then loaded into the pores of MIL and folic acid-chitosan conjugate (FC) was finally coated on the surface of the carrier to accomplish cancer-specific targeting properties. MTT assay revealed perfect cytocompatibility of the system and selective toxicity against cancerous cells. In vivo MRI images showed high tumour uptake for MIL-Cur@FC and high T1-T2 contrast effect. The growth inhibiting efficiencies of MIL-Cur@FC on M109 tumour bearing Balb/C mice without reducing their body weight showed maximum tumour eradication with no significant toxicities. Due to the outstanding features of the system achieved from in vitro and in vivo studies, we believe that this study will provide a novel approach for developing targeted theranostic agents in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Introduction and objective Precisely and sensitively diagnosing diseases especially early and accurate tumor diagnosis in clinical magnetic resonance (MR) scanner is a highly demanding but challenging task. Gadolinium (Gd) chelate is the most common T 1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent at present. However, traditional Gd-chelates are suffering from low relaxivity, which hampers its application in clinical diagnosis. Currently, the development of nano-sized Gd based T 1 contrast agent, such as incorporating gadolinium chelate into nanocarriers, is an attractive and feasible strategy to enhance the T 1 contrast capacity of Gd chelate. The objective of this study is to improve the T 1 contrast ability of Gd-chelate by synthesizing nanoparticles (NPs) for accurate and early diagnosis in clinical diseases. Methods Reverse microemulsion method was used to coat iron oxide (IO) with tunable silica shell and form cores of NPs IO@SiO2 at step one, then Gd-chelate was loaded on the surface of silica-coated iron oxide NPs. Finally, Gd-based silica coating magnetite NPs IO@SiO2-DTPA-Gd was developed and tested the ability to detect tumor cells on the cellular and in vivo level. Results The r 1 value of IO@SiO2-DTPA-Gd NPs with the silica shell thickness of 12 nm was about 33.6 mM-1s-1, which was approximately 6 times higher than Gd-DTPA, and based on its high T 1 contrast ability, IO@SiO2-DTPA-Gd NPs could effectively detect tumor cells on the cellular and in vivo level. Conclusion Our findings revealed the improvement of T 1 relaxation was not only because of the increase of molecular tumbling time caused by the IO@SiO2 nanocarrier but also the generated magnetic field caused by the IO core. This nanostructure with high T 1 contrast ability may open a new approach to construct high-performance T 1 contrast agent.

Abstract
The T1-T2 dual-mode contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can generate self-complementary confirmed T2 and T1 images, hence greatly improving the reliability. Facilely synthesizing nanoparticles with the ultrasensitive contrast property remains extremely challenging in nanoscience. Moreover, uncovering the mechanism correlating the signal enhancements and chemical constituents is vital for designing novel efficient synergistically enhanced T1-T2 dual-mode MRI nanoprobes. Herein, we report a one-pot facile method to synthesize the superparamagnetic manganese oxide-doped iron oxide (Fe3O4/MnO) nanoparticles for T1-T2 dual-mode MR imaging. Under external magnetic field, the local magnetic field intensities of MnO and Fe3O4 could be simultaneously enhanced through embedding MnO into Fe3O4 nanoparticles and hence can cause synergistic T1 and T2 contrast enhancements. Moreover, a novel and facile cost-effective method for large-scale synthesis of hydroxyl-polyethylene glycol-phosphonic acid-stabilizing ligands is designed. The facile synthetic method and surface coating strategy of superparamagnetic Fe3O4/MnO nanoparticles offer an idea for the chemical design and preparation of superparamagnetic nanoparticles with ultrasensitive MRI contrast abilities for disease evaluation and treatment.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics closely resemble the natural human bone, which is a main reason for their popularity as bone substitutes. However, this compositional similarity makes it difficult to distinguish CaPs, especially in particulate form, from native bone by imaging modalities such as X-ray radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor the healing progress. External contrast agents can improve the imaging contrast of CaPs but can affect their physicochemical properties and can produce artifacts. In this work, we have attempted to improve the contrast of CaP nanoparticles via ion substitutions for multimodal imaging. Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) nanoparticles with silver (Ag), gadolinium (Gd), and iron (Fe) substitution were prepared by a microwave-accelerated wet chemical process to improve the contrast in CT, T1 (spin–lattice), and T2 (spin–spin) MRI relaxation modes, respectively. Ag, Gd, and Fe were substituted at 0.25, 0.5, and 0.25 at.%, respectively. The ion-substituted CDHA (ICDHA) was found to be phase pure by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the ICDHA nanoparticles were platelet shaped and of 52 ± 2 nm length and 6 ± 1 nm width. The ICDHA showed high contrast in X-ray and CT compared to CDHA. The vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) studies showed the ICDHA to exhibit paramagnetic behavior compared to diamagnetic CDHA, which was further confirmed by improved contrast in T1 and T2 MRI mode. In addition, the in vitro tetracycline drug loading and release was studied to investigate the capability of these nanoparticles for antibiotic drug delivery. It was found that a burst release profile was observed for 24 h with 47–52% tetracycline drug release. The ICDHA nanoparticles also showed in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli due to Ag, which was further enhanced by antibiotic loading. In vitro biocompatibility studies showed that the triple-ion-substituted ICDHA nanoparticles were cytocompatible. Thus, the ion-substituted CDHA nanoparticles can have potential theranostic applications due to their multimodal image contrast, antibacterial activity, and drug delivery potential. Future work will be conducted with actual bone samples in vitro or in animal models.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were developed as positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) bimodal imaging agents. These nanoparticles (NPs), with a specific nanoflower morphology, were first synthesized and simultaneously functionalized with 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (LDOPA) under continuous hydrothermal conditions. The resulting NPs exhibited a low hydrodynamic size of 90 ± 2 nm. The functional groups of LDOPA (-NH2 and -COOH) were successfully used for the grafting of molecules of interest in a second step. The nanostructures were modified by poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and a new macrocyclic chelator MANOTA for further 64Cu radiolabeling for PET imaging. The functionalized NPs showed promising bimodal (PET and MRI) imaging capability with high r 2 and r 2* (T 2 and T 2* relaxivities) values and good stability. They were mainly uptaken from liver and kidneys. No cytotoxicity effect was observed. These NPs appear as a good candidate for bimodal tracers in PET/MRI.

Abstract
The development of hollow ferrogadolinium nanonetworks has not been reported for nanomedicine application until now. In this study, we developed a hollow and porous ferrogadolinium nanonetwork structure using the one-pot solvothermal method. This nanoparticle could be simultaneously used as a T1 and T2 dual-modal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. In addition, the hollow lumen and abundant pores of the nanonetworks maximized the loading capacity and conferred the nanoplatforms for suitable anticancer drug loading capacity. Using these nanonetworks, MRI and anticancer experiments were conducted in vitro and satisfactory dual-modal MRI and cancer chemotherapy results were obtained. Therefore, the nanonetworks with dual-modal MRI and drug loading abilities effectively complement the ferrogadolinium composites' library and hold great promise in nanomedicine for simultaneous cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy. This multifunctional nanomaterial with a nanonetwork architecture can be used for dual-modal MRI guided cancer chemotherapy.![]()

Abstract
Malignant tumors constitute a serious disease that threaten human life, and early diagnosis and metastasis prediction are critical to the choice of treatment plan and the timing of treatment. Integrin αvβ3, which has received broad attention as a molecular marker of the tumor neovasculature, is an important target for monitoring tumorigenesis and progression in molecular imaging research. This study reports a magnetic resonance (MR)/fluorescence dual-mode molecular probe, cRGD-Gd-Cy5.5, which targets the integrin αvβ3 receptor and uses liposomes as carrier. The obtained nanoprobe had a size of 60.08 ± 0.45 nm, with good dispersion in water, a uniform distribution of sizes, desirable stability, and high relaxivity. Its r1 relaxation rate was 10.515 mM-1 s-1, much higher than that of other Gd chelates in clinical use. The probe showed no cytotoxicity at the tested concentrations in vitro, and its ability to target A549 cells and SUNE-1-5-8F cells was preliminarily evaluated through in vitro fluorescence imaging and MR imaging. The results demonstrated that the cRGD-Gd-Cy5.5 nanoprobe had good characteristics, showing desirable stability and biosafety, a high T1 relaxation rate, and strong targeting and binding to tumors with high expression of integrin αvβ3. Therefore, cRGD-Gd-Cy5.5 is a promising agent for the visual monitoring of tumor metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of T1-T2 dual contrast agent (CA) favors the visualization of the lesion in a more accurate and reliable manner by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The relaxivity and the interference between T1 and T2 CA are the main concerns for their design. METHODS In this work, we constructed an Fe3O4@mSiO2/PDDA/BSA-Gd2O3 nanocomplex where BSA-Gd2O3 NPs and Fe3O4 NPs were chosen as T1 and T2 MRI CAs and a 20 nm mesoporous silica (mSiO2) nanoshell was introduced to reduce the interference between them. We performed transmis sion electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, UV-vis absorption spectra, and Fourier transform infrared absorption (FTIR) spectra to characterize the prepared nanocom-plex and MRI scanning to evaluate their MRI behaviors. Furthermore, 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and hematologic and biochemical analyses were introduced to evaluate their in vitro and in vivo toxicity. Finally, the specific MRI of 786-0 cells with Fe3O4@mSiO2/PDDA/BSA-Gd2O3-AS1411 nanoprobe in vitro was realized. In vivo biodistribution of Fe3O4@mSiO2/PDDA/BSA-Gd2O3 nanocomplex in the mouse was determined by the quantification of the Gd element by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. RESULTS The prepared Fe3O4@mSiO2/PDDA/BSA-Gd2O3 nanocomplex possessed high longitudinal (r1=11.47 mM s-1 Gd) and transverse (r2=195.1 mM s-1 Fe) relaxivities, enabling its use as a T1-T2 dual contrast agent for MRI. MTT testing and hematologic and biochemical analysis indicated the good biocompatibility of Fe3O4@mSiO2/PDDA/BSA-Gd2O3 nanocomplex in vitro and in vivo. After further conjugation with AS1411 aptamer, they could target tumor cells successfully by T1 and T2 MRI in vitro. The possible metabolic pathway of the tail vein-injected Fe3O4@mSiO2/PDDA/BSA-Gd2O3 nanocomplex in mouse was mainly via kidney. CONCLUSION A T1-T2 dual-mode contrast agent, Fe3O4@mSiO2/PDDA/BSA-Gd2O3 nano-complex, was developed and its good performance for tumor cell targeting in vitro and kidney contrast-enhanced MRI in mice indicated its promising potential as an effective T1-T2 dual-mode contrast agent for in vivo MRI with self-confirmation.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is indispensable and powerful in modern clinical diagnosis and has some advantages such as non-invasiveness and high penetration depth. Furthermore, dual T 1-T 2 MR imaging has attracted crucial interest as it can decrease the risk of pseudo-positive signals in diagnosing lesions. And it's worth nothing that the dual-mode MR imaging displays a vital platform to provide relatively comprehensive diagnosis information and receive accurate results. Herein, we report a dual T 1-T 2 MR imaging contrast agent (CA) grounded on the iron/iron oxide core/shell nanomaterials conjugated with gadolinium chelate. The Gd-labeled Fe@Fe3O4 NPs reveal the feasibility to utilize them to serve as a dual T 1-T 2 MR imaging CA, and the relaxivity results in a 0.5 T MR system showed a longitudinal relaxivity value (r 1) and transverse relaxivity value (r 2) of 7.2 mM-1 s-1 and 109.4 mM-1 s-1, respectively. The MTT results demonstrate the Gd-labeled Fe@Fe3O4 NPs have no obvious cytotoxicity and a good compatibility. The in vitro and in vivo MRI generated a brighter effect and darkening in T 1-weighted MR imaging and T 2-weighted images, respectively. The results clearly indicate that Gd-labeled Fe@Fe3O4 NPs have potential as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast reagent.

Abstract
The systematic investigations concerning the bioconjugation of GdBO3-Fe3O4 nanocomposite and their in vitro biocompatibility with cancer cell lines are reported. The nanocomposites were prepared hydrothermally from magnetite (Fe3O4), borax or boric acid and a Gd3+ salt. Bioconjugation processes were performed with citric acid and fluorescein isothiocyanate-doped silica, followed by the treatment with folic acid. Overall, the procedure involved "bare or PEGylated Fe3O4 as the magnetic core" and "vaterite- or triclinic-type of GdBO3 as the surface borate layer" for comparative evaluation of the results. The successful vectorization of the nanocomposite particles was demonstrated by quantitative and qualitative analytical data. All bioconjugates displayed soft ferromagnetic properties and negative zeta potential values that are appropriate for biological applications. The 10B and 157Gd contents were ca. 1014 atom/μg making them promising agents for BNCT, GdNCT and the combined GdBNCT. The Gd/Fe molar ratios (0.27-0.63) provided the capability for T1- or dual (T1 + T2) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In vitro studies were conducted to investigate the efficiency of targeted FA-conjugated versus non-FA conjugated nanoformulations on Mia-Pa-Ca-2, HeLa and A549 cells. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry data unveiled the essential role of the zeta potential competing with folate targeting in the uptake mechanism. The bioconjugated nanoplatforms of GdBO3-Fe3O4 composite, introduced herein, proved to have potential features of next generation agents for magnetically targeted therapy, fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging/diagnosis and Neutron Capture Therapy.

Abstract
A novel type of multimodal, magnetic resonance imaging/optical imaging (MRI/OI) contrast agent was developed, based on core-shell lanthanide fluoride nanoparticles composed of a β-NaHoF4 core plus a β-NaGdF4:Yb3+ , Tm3+ shell with an average size of ∼24 nm. The biocompatibility of the particles was ensured by a surface modification with poly acrylic acid (PAA) and further functionalization with an affinity ligand, folic acid (FA). When excited using 980 nm near infrared (NIR) radiation, the contrast agent (CA) shows intense emission at 802 nm with lifetime of 791±3 μs, due to the transition 3 H4 →3 H6 of Tm3+ . Proton nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (1 H-NMRD) studies and magnetic resonance (MR) phantom imaging showed that the newly synthesized nanoparticles, decorated with poly(acrylic acid) and folic acid on the surface (NP-PAA-FA), can act mainly as a T1 -weighted contrast agent below 1.5 T, a T1 /T2 dual-weighted contrast agent at 3 T, and as highly efficient T2 -weighted contrast agent at ultrahigh fields. In addition, NP-PAA-FA showed very low cytotoxicity and no detectable cellular damage up to a dose of 500 μg mL-1 .

Abstract
Abstract
For the application of iron oxide nanoparticles from thermal decomposition approaches as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), their initial hydrophobic ligands have to be replaced by hydrophilic ones. This exchange can influence the surface oxidation state and the magnetic properties of the particles. Here, the effect of the anchor group of three organic ligands, citric acid and two catechols, dihydrocaffeic acid and its nitrated derivative nitro dihydrocaffeic acid on iron oxide nanoparticles is evaluated. The oleate ligands of Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles prepared by the thermal decomposition of iron oleate were exchanged against the hydrophilic ligands. X-ray absorption spectroscopy, especially X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements in the total electron yield (TEY) mode was used to investigate local magnetic and electronic properties of the particles’ surface region before and after the ligand exchange. XMCD was combined with charge transfer multiplet calculations which provide information on the contributions of Fe2+ and Fe3+ at different lattice sites, i.e. either in tetrahedral or octahedral environment. The obtained data demonstrate that nitro hydrocaffeic acid leads to least reduction of the magnetizability of the surface region of the iron oxide nanoparticles compared to the two other ligands. For all hydrophilic samples, the proportion of Fe3+ ions in octahedral sites increases at the expense of the Fe2+ in octahedral sites whereas the percentage of Fe3+ in tetrahedral sites hardly changes. These observations suggest that an oxidation process took place, but a selective decrease of the Fe2+ ions in octahedral sites ions due to surface dissolution processes is unlikely. The citrate ligand has the least oxidative effect, whereas the degree of oxidation was similar for both catechol ligands regardless of the nitro group. Twenty-four hours of incubation in isotonic saline has nearly no influences on the magnetic properties of the nanoparticles, the least on those with the nitrated hydrocaffeic acid ligand.

Abstract
The development of contrast agents (CAs) for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with T1-T2 dual-mode relaxivity requires the accurate assembly of T1 and T2 magnetic centers in a single structure. In this context, we have synthesized a novel hybrid material by monitoring the formation of Prussian Blue analogue Gd(H2O)4[Fe(CN)6] nanoparticles with tailored shape (from nanocrosses to nanorods) and size, and further protection with a thin and homogeneous silica coating through hydrolysis and polymerization of silicate at neutral pH. The resulting Gd(H2O)4[Fe(CN)6]@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles are very stable in biological fluids. Interestingly, this combination of Gd and Fe magnetic centers closely packed in the crystalline network promotes a magnetic synergistic effect, which results in significant improvement of longitudinal relaxivity with regards to soluble Gd3+ chelates, whilst keeping the high transversal relaxivity inherent to the iron component. As a consequence, this material shows excellent activity as MRI CA, improving positive and negative contrasts in T1- and T2-weighted MR images, both in in vitro (e.g., phantom) and in vivo (e.g., Sprague-Dawley rats) models. In addition, this hybrid shows a high biosafety profile and has strong ability to incorporate organic molecules on the surface with variable functionality, displaying great potential for further clinical application.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in the clinic. To improve imaging quality, MRI contrast agents, which can modulate local T1 and T2 relaxation times, are often injected prior to or during MRI scans. However, clinically used contrast agents, including Gd3+-based chelates and iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), afford mediocre contrast abilities. To address this issue, there has been extensive research on developing alternative MRI contrast agents with superior r1 and r2 relaxivities. These efforts are facilitated by the fast progress in nanotechnology, which allows for preparation of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) with varied size, shape, crystallinity, and composition. Studies suggest that surface coatings can also largely affect T1 and T2 relaxations and can be tailored in favor of a high r1 or r2. However, the surface impact of NPs has been less emphasized. Herein, we review recent progress on developing NP-based T1 and T2 contrast agents, with a focus on the surface impact.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), particularly made of iron oxides, have been extensively studied as diagnostic imaging agents and therapeutic delivery vehicles. In this review, special emphasis is set on the 'recent advancements of drug-conjugated MNPs used for therapeutic applications'. The most prevalent preparation methods and chemical functionalization strategies required for translational biomedical nanoformulations are outlined. Particular attention is, then, devoted to the tailored conjugation of drugs to the MNP carrier according to either noncovalent or covalent attachments, with advantages and drawbacks of both pathways conferred. Notable examples are presented to demonstrate the advantages of MNPs in respective drug-delivery applications. Understanding of the preparation, conjugation and delivery processes will definitely bring, in the next decades, a novel magneto-nanovehicle for effective theranostics.

Abstract
Tagging recognition group(s) on superparamagnetic iron oxide is known to aid localisation (imaging), stimulation and separation of biological entities using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic agitation/separation (MAS) techniques. Despite the wide applicability of iron oxide nanoparticles in T 2-weighted MRI and MAS, the quality of the images and safe manipulation of the exceptionally delicate neural cells in a live brain are currently the key challenges. Here, we demonstrate the engineered manganese oxide clusters-iron oxide core-shell nanoparticle as an MR dual-modal contrast agent for neural stem cells (NSCs) imaging and magnetic manipulation in live rodents. As a result, using this engineered nanoparticle and associated technologies, identification, stimulation and transportation of labelled potentially multipotent NSCs from a specific location of a live brain to another by magnetic means for self-healing therapy can therefore be made possible.

Abstract
In this study, a biocompatible nanotheranostic platform (termed as Fe2O3@PDA-affibody) has been constructed on the basis of coating a near-infrared light (NIR)-absorbing polydopamine (PDA) shell on oleic acid-capped superparamagnetic ferric oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 NPs) using the water-in-oil microemulsion method and then conjugated with affibody ZIGF1R:4551, a peptide with high affinity to tumor and a polyethylene glycol (PEG) stabilizer. The Fe2O3@PDA-affibody integrates T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), tumor-targeting, and magnetic field (MF)-enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT) functionalities into an all-in-one system. The Fe2O3@PDA-affibody shows high negative contrast in the MRI of an SW620 tumor bearing mouse with a decrease of 68% MRI signal, indicating that the Fe2O3@PDA-affibody can recognize tumor with high efficacy and specificity. Furthermore, a high accumulation ratio (>13.5% ID g-1) and enhanced inhibition of tumor growth are achieved under near-infrared (NIR) (808 nm) laser irradiation with the aid of an external MF focused on the targeted tumor, resulting in complete eradication of mouse-borne SW620 tumors without regrowth.
