Protocol for detecting substrates in living cells by targeted molecular probes through hyperpolarized (129)Xe MRI

Due to limited detection sensitivity and contrast limitation, imaging substrates with (129)Xe MRI in living cells is still a challenge. Here, we present an effective protocol to detect and image substrates in human lung cancer cells A549 with hyperpolarized (129)Xe MRI. This protocol was optimized f...

Sumario:Due to limited detection sensitivity and contrast limitation, imaging substrates with (129)Xe MRI in living cells is still a challenge. Here, we present an effective protocol to detect and image substrates in human lung cancer cells A549 with hyperpolarized (129)Xe MRI. This protocol was optimized for a cryptophane-based probe sensitive to biothiols and can be expanded to other Xe-based probes to detect potential biomarkers in other mammalian cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zeng et al. (2021).
