[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the feasibility of in vitro MRI of 7F5@GoldMag probe in prostate cancer on a clinical 3.0 T MR system.Materials and Methods: GoldMagTM-CS nanoparticles solution in different concentration was scanned to ascertain the lowest concentration that can be detected by MR system. Prostate cancer cell line PC-3 and hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721 were cultured (hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721 was control group). The two cell lines were cross-matched with 7F5@GoldMag and non-related IgG@GoldMag. Then, the mixture was incubated at 37℃ for 1 hour. T2WI was obtained and the signal intensity was measured in each group. Statistical analysis were performed to assess the statistical differences of signal intensity by using one-way ANOVA with SPSS 11.5 software package as parameters were normally distributed, P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant difference.Results: The T2WI signal intensity of GoldMagTM-CS was significantly lower than that of agarose gel even if the former was diluted by 640 times. 7F5@GoldMag could specifically decrease T2WI signal intensity of PC-3 cells in vitro.Conclusion: 7F5@GoldMag has target-directed enhancement effect in prostate cancer cell lines in vitro by using a clinical 3.0 T MR scanner.
