Multifunctional colloidal nanoparticles for dual imaging with fluorescence, magnitic and radioactive detection
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Multifunctional nanoparticles, comprising an inorganic core, and organic polymer shell were synthesized. The first functionality is the functionality of the particle core. Concerning imaging the core can provide contrast for fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, or radioactivity imaging. The second functionality is incorporated in the polymer shell. Functional molecules can comprise organic molecules like fluorophores, or chelators for metal ions. Concerning imaging therefore also the polymer shell can provide contrast for fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, or radioactivity imaging. Due to combining 3 different cores and 3 different polymer shells all different combinations required for bimodal imaging were obtained. These particles were used for dual imaging. Hereby the goal was to visualize the fate of the nanoparticle core and the polymer shell separately, after in vitro incorporation by cells, or after in vivo administration. By providing the core and the polymer shell two different fluorescence labels, or by providing the core and the polymer shell two different radioactive labels the fate of both entities could be followed. The results indicate that the polymer shell can be partly enzymatically degraded and therefore comes partially off the particles. Likewise, also degradation of the protein corona around nanoparticles was observed. The results show, that nanoparticles are not one entity but comprise different components, such as inorganic core, organic surface coating, as the protein corona. Multifunctional labelling allows for the observation of the fate of the different components. In vitro as in vivo, the nanoparticles may not remain one entity, but due to degradation the different components may have different final bio-distribution.
