Abstract:

Fe3O4 nanoparticles(NPs) modified with sodium citrate were prepared via chemical coprecipitation method and fetal bovine serum(FBS) could improve the dispersibility of Fe3O4 NPs in FBS solution(volume fraction≤5%). At the temperature of 300 K, the saturation magnetization intensity of NPs reached 74.86×10-3 A·m2/g(74.86 emu/g); MRI T2 imaging of endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs) became better after being infected by 75 μg/mL of Fe3O4 NPs and lentiviral vectors(LV); furthermore, EPCs could stably over express VEGF target gene. EPCs co-infected with Fe3O4 NPs and LV, after being injected into caudal vein of focal cerebral ischemia rats could effectively promote angiogenesis. These results indicated the modified EPCs possessed both MRI tracing and angiogenesis, and therefore had potential application value in clinical therapy of cerebral ischemia.
