Multifunctional and folate (FA) modified gadolinium
oxide (Gd2O3) nanocarriers were developed for targeted
molecular MRI of FA receptor positive HeLa tumors.
Gd2O3-based nanoparticles were conjugated with
5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (FI) for fluorescence and
functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segments
bearing FA group. Enhanced cellular uptake of the
targeted Gd2O3 nanocarriers in Hela tumor cells was
observed.in vitro. Moreover, the targeted Gd2O3
naoparticles showed more remarkable contrast enhancement
than the control probes according in vivo MRI. Thus,
these Gd2O3 nanoparticles may be a promising
nano-platform for combined targeted antitumor drug
delivery and molecular MRI cancer diagnosis in future
clinical applications.
