ABSTRACT
Gadolinium-doped carbon dots (Gd-CDs), as a new class of nanomaterial, has a wide application prospect in targeted imaging and monitoring diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer because of their good fluorescence (FL)-magnetic resonance (MR) imaging properties. First, Gd-CDs were synthesized by hydrothermal method with gadodiamide as gadolinium source, citric acid as carbon source and silane coupling agent (KH-792) as coupling agent with FL quantum yield (QY) of 48.2%. Then, folic acid (FA), which is highly expressed in liver cancer, was used as a targeting component to modify Gd-CDs to obtain targeted imaging agent (Gd-CDs-FA). The results showed that Gd-CDs and Gd-CDs-FA have low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility, and the targeting and selectivity of Gd-CDs-FA to HepG2 cells could be observed under confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The T1 longitudinal relaxation rates (r1) of Gd-CDs and Gd-CDs-FA are 15.92 mM-1s-1 and 13.56 mM-1s-1, respectively. They showed good MR imaging ability in vitro and in vivo, and MR imaging in nude mice further proved the targeting imaging performance of Gd-CDs-FA. Therefore, Gd-CDs-FA with higher QY showed good FL-MR targeting imaging ability of liver cancer, which broke through the limitations of single molecular imaging probe in sensitivity and soft tissue resolution. This study provides a new idea for the application of Gd-CDs in FL and MR targeting imaging of liver cancer.
