Tumor Enhancement Effect of Overexpressed Manganese-superoxide Dismutase in Manganese-enhanced MR Imaging

Abstract: Purpose: Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI), used to trace neuronal connections and visualize brain activity, has recently been suggested useful for tumor detection, but the mechanism of tumor enhancement by manganese (Mn) is poorly understood. Our recent report of preferential enhancement of human mesothelioma cells with higher levels of manganese-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) expression may suggest a correlation between Mn-SOD expression and enhancement. We investigate this possibility fur… Show more

“…Because of the more severe functional impairment of mitochondria in more malignant tumour cells, the Mn 2+ entering the mitochondria might be less than that in less aggressive tumour cells, resulting in more Mn 2+ accumulating freely in cytosol, thus causing greater T1 shortening. Finally, the contribution from Mn 2+ in the extracellular compartment should probably also not be overlooked [ 42 ].…”

“…Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI), which is currently used to assess brain activity and to track neuronal connections, may be useful for detecting ovarian cancer cells with Mn-SOD overexpression, where signal enhancement can be observed [ 166 ]. Han et al [ 167 ] in their work described a dual-modal fluorescence/MR nanoprobe with carbon nanoparticles combined with manganese and nitrogen (Mn-N-CNSs) and conjugated to an anti-HE4 monoclonal antibody (Mn-N-CNSs @ anti-HE4) that can be used in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer cells.…”

“…Presently, there are three major uses of MEMRI in the brain: for enhancement of brain cytoarchitecture in anatomical studies (Natt et al, 2002; Watanabe et al, 2002, 2004; Aoki et al, 2004b), for mapping neuronal activity (Lin and Koretsky, 1997; Aoki et al, 2002, 2004a; Hsu et al, 2007; Yu et al, 2008) and for in vivo tracing of neuronal connections (Pautler et al, 1998, 2003; Van der Linden et al, 2002). The use of MEMRI for anatomy and function extends to other tissues as well, such as heart (Hu et al, 2001), pancreas (Gimi et al, 2006) and tumors (Banerjee et al, 2007; Hasegawa et al, 2011). …”
