Rupture Prone Inflamed Plaque?
Atherosclerotic plaques which are characterized by:
1) Active inflammation (i.e. macrophage infiltration)2) Extensive angiogenesis,3) Thin permeable cap4) Large lipid core
that are prone to rupture and cause sudden luminal clot formation and lead to heart attack and stroke.

In the study by S. Patel, James T. Willerson and Edward Yeh, published in 1997, peritoneal macrophages of mouse were labeled with fluorescent latex microspheres and injected into the blood.
Antibodies to ICAM-1, integrin and E-selectin were Injected 6-8 hours before macrophage injection.

-The mean number of macrophages in the proximal 1mm of aortic root was estimated to be 143+17 per aortic root
-Antibodies against ICAM-1 and integrin significantly reduced the number of macrophage homing.

Steinberg et al, in 2000 published their study regarding a new method of detecting monocytes in the plaque.
The basic idea is the introduction into a recipient animal of leukocytes differing from those of the recipient by virtue of one easily identified and quantified genetic marker.
PCR was the tool to detect the mutated leukocyte.Due to its extreme sensitivity, this test is able to detect a band in a dilution of 5 cells in 1 million unmarked cells.

donor monocytes purified from the blood of a wild-type donor (NAT-R) and injected intravenously into a mutant (NAT-S) recipient.
B: Time course of the disappearance of donor monocytes from the blood of a mutant recipient (NAT-S) after intravenous injection of 45 ml of Whole blood from a wild type donor

For the atherosclerotic plaque 2 different settings wereSelected, Fatty streaks and more advanced lesions.
They concluded that 623 per million cells in the earlyFatty streaks were donor leukocytes.
In more advanced stage, the aortic arch showed a maximum number of 3860 donor leukocytes per 1 million cells.(>1% of all the cells in aortic arch).
The rate of leukocyte infiltration and lesion expansion will vary with time.

It is shown that SPIO particles after injection into the body, follow the tract Of inflammation, through monocyte / Macrophage system.
Could it be used to detect the dynamic of macrophage involvement in the inflammatory Atherosclerotic plaque?

We chose Watanabe Hereditary Hypercholesterolemic rabbits (WHHR) and New Zealand White rabbits (NZW) for this study.
We injected them with SPIO (Feridex) 1 mMol Fe/kg and obtained baseline as well as 5-day post-SPIO injection MR images of the aorta (1.5 Tesla, Signa, GE systems).
Then we compared the images in hypercholesterolemic rabbits with the normal,wild type NZW rabbits.

Rabbit ex-vivo MRI studies: After the in-vivo MR images, we sacrificed the animals and excised the aorta.
Then we put the isolated aorta in a gel medium, clamped both ends and any side branches and injected gadolinium inside the lumen.
We did the same procedure for all rabbits.
We also used 2 more rabbits, one WHHR and one NZW that were not injected with SPIO, as control, in the ex-vivo MR study.

Conclusion:1) SPIO nanoparticles profoundly accumulate in some (not all) areas of atherosclerotic lesions in rabbits and mice.
2) There is a strong correlation between the areas of SPIO accumulation and macrophage density in mice and rabbit atherosclerotic plaques.
3) Non-invasive SPIO-enhanced MR imaging can identify inflamed atherosclerotic plaques.
