Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as a powerful tool for in vivo noninvasive tracking of magnetically labeled stem cells. In this work we present an efficient cell labeling approach using (carbonxymethyl)chitosan-modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (CMCS-SPIONs) as contrast agent in MRI. The CMCS-SPIONs were prepared by conjugating (carboxymethyl) chitosan to (3 aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane treated SPIONs. These nanoparticles were internalized into human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) via endocytosis confirmed by Prussian Blue staining and electron microscopy investigation and quantified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. A MTT assay of the labeled cells showed that CMCS-SPIONs did not possess significant cytotoxicity. In addition, the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiations of the hMSCs were not influenced by the labeling process. The in vitro detection threshold of cell after incubation with 0.05 mg/ml of CMCS SPIONs for 24 h was estimated to be about 40 cells. The results from this study indicate that the biocompatible CMCS SPIONs show promise for use with MRI in visualizing hMSCs.
