Macrophages play a key role in the initial pathogenesis of kidney ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury, but the mechanism of their spatial and temporal recruitment from circulation remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting intravenously administered superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-labeled macrophages in an experimental renal I-R mouse model. Unilateral kidney I-R mice were imaged with a 4.7-T MRI scanner before and after administration of SPIO-labeled macrophages (RAW 264.7). On MR images, adoptive transfer of SPIO-labeled macrophages in the acute phase (1-2 days after I-R) caused a band-shaped signal-loss zone resulting from macrophage infiltrations, in the outer medullary region of injured kidneys. MRI detection of macrophages homing to an injured kidney may facilitate early detection and investigation of the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury and be a strategy for determining the treatment of acute renal failure. From the Clinical Editor: This study evaluated the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging for detecting superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-labeled macrophages in a renal ischemia-reperfusion mouse model. Similar strategies in humans may facilitate early detection and stratification of acute kidney injury.

Stem cell injection is good for periodontal regeneration due to the capacity of stem cells to differentiate toward osteogenic direction and to regulate the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. However, injected cells are difficult to track in vivo. And there is microbiota in oral cavity, the dysbiosis of which leads to the damage and loss of periodontal tissue.

The therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on sepsis has been well-known. However, a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between MSCs and macrophages remains elusive. Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) is one of the most commonly used tracers for MSCs.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy show different levels of effectiveness in the context of different types of liver damage, suggesting that the microenvironment of the injured liver is a key determinant for effective stem cell therapy. The objective was to assess the modulatory effect of hepatic stem cell niche components on the transplanted MSCs during liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl). Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-labeled human MSCs were injected intravenously into mice treated with CCl and subjected to hepatic macrophage-depletion.

MRI for in vivo stem cell tracking remains controversial. Here we tested the hypothesis that MRI can track the long-term fate of the superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles labelled mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) following intramyocardially injection in AMI rats. MSCs (1 × 10(6)) from male rats doubly labeled with SPIO and DAPI were injected 2 weeks after myocardial infarction.
