Fabrication of Fe3O4@PVA microspheres by one-step electrospray for magnetic resonance imaging during transcatheter arterial embolization
Source abstract
Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has attracted increasing attention as a feasible alternative or adjunctive imaging modality for X-ray digital subtraction angiography because of the high tissue resolution and non-ionization radiation. In this study, a one-step electrospray method was developed to fabricate PVA microspheres encapsulated with in situ synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Fe3O4@PVA microspheres were mono-dispersed black spheres with a wide range of sizes (262-958 µm). The in situ-synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles were used as the contrast agent of MRI and the cross-linkers of PVA matrixes for the embolization purpose. In vivo evaluation of renal arteries of normal rabbits showed that Fe3O4@PVA microspheres had good embolic effect and enhanced capability of MRI. In vitro and in vivo biosafety assessment confirmed that Fe3O4@PVA microspheres had favorable biocompatibility. The DOX-loaded Fe3O4@PVA microspheres showed a typical drug-sustained release profile. These results suggest that the prepared DOX-loaded Fe3O4@PVA microspheres have the function of MRI, embolotherapy and chemotherapy. We expect our study could provide a simple and useful approach for the systematic design, fabrication, and application of a new type of magnetic microspheres as a triple-functional embolic agent for the development of MRI-guided TACE. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Due to the low tissue resolution and hazardous ionization radiation of X-ray digital subtraction angiography, it is beneficial to study MR imaging embolic microspheres for the development of MRI-guided TACE. In this study, a one-step electrospray method was firstly developed to fabricate PVA microspheres encapsulated with in situ synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Then, chemotherapeutic agent (DOX), contrast media of MRI (Fe3O4) and embolic agent (PVA matrix) were combined together in one body (DOX-loaded Fe3O4@PVA microspheres) to achieve the triple effects of chemotherapy, MR imaging and embolization. This triple-functional embolic agent offers potential for the future development of MRI-guided TACE.
