[Abstract] Objective: To prepare a dualmodal molecular probe targeting scavenger receptor A (SR-A) loaded with dextran sulfate (DS), and to investigate its magnetic resonance (MR)/enhanced photoacoustic (PA) imaging and targeting ability in vitro.Materials and Methods: Nanoparticles [poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), PLGA]-Fe3O4-DS were synthesized using double emulsification method and electrostatic adsorption method. The physicochemical properties and the MR/PA imaging capability were observed in vitro. The targeting efficiency of molecular probes for activated macrophages were evaluated.Results: The prepared PLGA-Fe3O4-DS nanoparticles have a regular shape, uniform size, and good dispersibility. The average particle diameter is 263.93±21.38 nm, the Zeta potential is -20.63±2.61 mV, and the DS connection rate is 90.06%. Nanoparticles have a good negative enhancement effect on magnetic resonance imaging. With the increase of its concentration, the photoacoustic signal gradually increases. Compared with the non-targeted group (PLGA-Fe3O4), the PLGA-Fe3O4-DS nanoparticles accumulated in large numbers around the nucleus after co-incubation of nanoparticles with activated macrophages.Conclusions: The PLGA-Fe3O4-DS nanoparticles were successfully prepared, which have good MR/PA imaging capabilities and high affinity for SR-A, providing the potential of analyzing the pathophysiological mechanism of receptors in the development of atherosclerotic plaques at the molecular level.
