PG - 2204-2214 LID - 10.1002/jmri.28949 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) can provide a prostate cancer (PCa) detection approach in positron emission tomography (PET) using Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved PSMA-11 peptide. There are some studies evaluated magnetic-nanoprobes for PSMA detection by MRI, using non-FDA-approved ligands including antibodies or peptides, which are not as specific as PSMA-11. PURPOSE: To assess targeted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) by PSMA-11 peptides as a potential specific nano-molecular probes to investigate a PSMA(+) PCa-xenograft model by MRI. STUDY TYPE: Prospective. ANIMAL MODEL: Twenty male C57BL6 nude mice induced subcutaneously PSMA(+) LNCaP cell line tumor. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 1.5 T, T(2)-W Fast Spin echo and T(2)*-W Gradient echo. ASSESSMENT: Coated IONPs with Carboxymethylated-dextran (DNPs) and with bovine serum albumin (BNPs), as well as, targeted DNPs with PSMA-11-HYNIC peptide (TDNPs) and targeted BNPs with PSMA-11-HBED peptide (TBNPs) were injected intravenously with dose 2.8 mg Fe/kg. Coronal T(2)-W and the T(2)*-W images were obtained before and 4 hours and 6 hours post-injection. Signal intensity (SI) and relative signal enhancement (RSE) were computed in two- and three-dimensional analyses. Histological analysis of tumors was evaluated, and the Fe distribution within the body based on atomic absorption spectroscopy was calculated. STATISTICAL TESTS: One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test, Paired-samples T-test, P < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: A reduction in T(2)-W SI was achieved as 22 +/- 7%, 59 +/- 3%, 65 +/- 5%, and 78 +/- 3% respectively for BNPs, TBNPs, DNPs, and TDNPs 6 hours post-injection. The most difference between targeted and non-targeted groups was observed at 6 hours for PSMA-11-HBED, and at 4 hours for PSMA-11-HYNIC. RSE indicated 88.6 +/- 3.1% and 80.7 +/- 3.2% enhanced contrast between tumor and muscle region for TBNPs and TDNPs on T(2)*-W images. CONCLUSIONS: Both TBNPs and TDNPs are promising novel nano-molecular probes for PSMA(+) PCa tumor detection. The injection dose of non-targeted IONPs can be reduced by using targeted nanoprobes three times for BNPs and two times for DNPs. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.
