Show abstract
Hepatic organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) transport off-the-shelf, FDA-approved, hepatospecific Gd-based MRI contrast agents into cells that express the transporters enhancing signal on clinical T1-weighted MRI. Studies have used MRI to identify OATP-overexpressing tumors and metastases in mice following the delivery of Gd-EOB-DTPA at 27-67-fold higher than clinical doses. With safety and regulatory concern over Gd-based contrast agents, translation of this imaging paradigm to humans for regenerative medicine cell therapy will require substantially lower doses of agent. Here we complemented static T1-weighted MRI and/or T1-mapping with dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI and show that even low intracellular accumulation of contrast agent results in a sustained signal enhancement in OATP-overexpressing tumors while control, non-expressing tumors have rapid wash-in and wash-out dynamics which could be distinguished by performing area-under-the-curve (AUC) analyses.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
