Radiolabeled florescent-magnetic graphene oxide nanosheets: Probing the biodistribution of a potential PET-MRI hybrid imaging agent for detection of fibrosarcoma tumor

摘要: PurposeRadiolabeled graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets has been one of the most extensively studied nanoplatform for in vivo radioisotope delivery. Herein, we describe the functionalization of the surface of GO nanosheets with Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles, cysteine amino acid as an interface ligand, and cadmium telluride quantum dots.Materials and MethodsTo enable In vivo PET imaging, the GO@Fe3O4-cys-CdTe QDs were labeled with 68Ga to yield [68Ga] Ga-Go@ Fe3O4-Cys-CdTe QDs. Furthermore, serum stability tests were performed and the biological behavior of the nanocomposite was evaluated in rats bearing fibrosarcoma tumor.ResultsLiver, blood and tumor were the most accumulated sites at 1 h after the injection, and the radiolabeled nanocomposite as a PET/MRI imaging agent showed fast depletion from body and acceptable tumor uptake.ConclusionMagnetic (Fe3O4) and fluorescent …
