Imaging of adoptively transferred cells in vivo by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could provide important information on disease-related patterns of lymphocyte homing in nonhuman primate models of AIDS. As a preliminary study to assess the feasibility of visualizing activated rhesus T cells by MRI, anti-CD3/CD28-expanded CD4+ T lymphocytes were labeled in vitro with monocrystalline iron oxide nanoparticles (MION). Intracellular incorporation of MION was determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrography (ICP-MS). Pretreatment with colchicine did not affect MION labeling, suggesting that cellular uptake of MION occurred by adsorptive pinocytosis or receptor-mediated endocytosis. TEM analysis revealed that MION were intracellularly compartmentalized exclusively in the cytoplasm and did not cause any measurable physiologic effects on T-cell function, including viability, proliferation, synthesis of select cytokines (interleukin [IL]-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-gamma), activation antigens (CD25 and CD69), adhesion molecules (alpha4beta7 and CD49d), and susceptibility to in vitro infection with simian immunodeficiency virus mac239. A sensitivity of 0.05% (1 MION-labeled T cell in 2000 unlabeled cells) could be achieved using T2-weighted gradient echo imaging. Furthermore, under these experimental conditions, the MRI signal did not decrease in proliferating MION-labeled CD4+ T cells over a period of 120 hours. These results indicate that intracellular labeling with MION can be a useful technique for noninvasively monitoring trafficking patterns of adoptively transferred leukocyte subsets in real-time by MRI in nonhuman primate models of AIDS.
