摘要:

目的:探讨注射SPIO-shRNA分子探针不同时间点的荷瘤裸鼠肿瘤区域组织信号强度变化情况,阐明分子探针活体磁共振成像(MRI)机制和最佳扫描时间。方法:探针注射剂量为18mg·kg-1;将30只BALB/c荷瘤裸鼠随机分为6组,每组5只,分别于探针注射前和注射后12、24、27、30和36 h等6个时间点行MRI检查,并测量裸鼠肿瘤组织及对侧肌肉组织在各时间点的信号强度变化;每次检查完成后立即处死裸鼠,取出肿瘤组织及肌肉组织行HE及普鲁士蓝染色,并在光学显微镜下观察裸鼠肿瘤组织的形态表现。结果:与注射前比较,探针注射后12、24和27 h裸鼠肿瘤组织T1WI信号强度均升高(P<0.05),12、24、27、30和36 h肿瘤组织T2WI和T2*GRE信号强度均降低(P < 0.05或P < 0.01);探针注射后27 h肿瘤组织T1WI信号强度最高;探针注射后27 h肿瘤组织T2WI和T2*GRE信号强度低于注射后12、24、30和36 h(P<0.01)。与注射前比较,注射后24 h时裸鼠对侧肌肉组织信号强度降低(P<0.05)。HE染色,裸鼠肿瘤组织结构紊乱,细胞核异型性较多;普鲁士蓝染色,在注射后各时间点上均存在蓝染的Fe颗粒,注射后27 h时蓝染Fe颗粒最多。结论:SPIO-shRNA分子探针能成功靶向裸鼠肿瘤组织,且MRI最佳的扫描时间为探针注射后27 h。

Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the changes of signals in tumor tissue of the tumor-bearing nude mice after SPIO-shRNA molecular probe injection at different time points,and to clarify the mechanism and optimal scanning time of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by molecular probe in vivo. Methods: The injection dose of probe was 18 mg·kg-1. A total of 30 BALB/c tumor-bearing nude mice were randomly divided into six groups(n=5). The mice in each group received MRI examination before and after injected with SPIO-shRNA molecular probe at different time points (12,24,27,30,and 36 h), and the changes of signal intensities in tumor tissue and controlateral muscle tissue of the nude mice were measured at different time points.Then the mice were sacrified after each examination,and the tumor and contralateral muscle tissues were obtained for HE and prussian blue staining, and the morphology of tumor tissue of the nude mice was observed under light microscope.Results: Compared with before injection,the signal intensities of T1WI in tumor tissue were increased at 12,24 and 27 h after injection of molecular probe(P<0.05),while the signal intensities of T2WI and T2*GRE were decreased at 12,24,27,30 and 36 h after injection of molecular probe(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The signal intensity of T2WI at 27 h after injection was the highest.However,the signal intensities of T2WI and T2*GRE at 27 h after injection were lower than those at 12,24,30, and 36 h(P<0.05). Compared with before injection,the signal intensity in contralteral muscle tissue of the nude mice at 24 h after injection was decreased(P<0.05). The HE staining results indicated that the structure of tumor tissue was abnormal and the unclear atypia was obvious.The prussian blue staining results showed that the blue-stained iron particles were distributed dispersedly at different time points, and the number of blue-stained iron particles was the most at 27 h after injection.Conclusion: The tumor tissue could be well labeled with the SPIO-shRNA molecular probes,and the optimal MRI scanning time is at 27 h after probe injection.
