Application of GCs via nanoparticles (NPs), especially those using simple formulations, could possibly improve their delivery to sites of inflammation and therefore their efficacy, minimising the required dose and thus reducing side effects. Here, we present the evaluation of NPs composed of GC betamethasone phosphate (BMP) and the fluorescent dye DY-647 (BMP-IOH-NPs) for improved treatment of inflammation with simultaneous in vivo monitoring of NP delivery. Methods: BMP-IOH-NP uptake by MH-S macrophages was analysed by fluorescence and electron microscopy. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated cells were treated for 48 h with BMP-IOH-NPs (1×10-5-1×10-9 M), BMP or dexamethasone (Dexa). Drug efficacy was assessed by measurement of interleukin 6. Mice with Zymosan-A-induced paw inflammation were intraperitoneally treated with BMP-IOH-NPs (10 mg/kg) and mice with ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic airway inflammation (AAI) were treated intranasally with BMP-IOH-NPs, BMP or Dexa (each 2.5 mg/kg). Efficacy was assessed in vivo by paw volume measurements with µCT and ex vivo by measurement of paw weight for Zymosan-A-treated mice, or in the AAI model by in vivo x-ray-based lung function assessment and by cell counts in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and histology. Delivery of BMP-IOH-NPs to the lungs of AAI mice was monitored by in vivo optical imaging and by fluorescence microscopy. Results: Uptake of BMP-IOH-NPs by MH-S cells was observed during the first 10 min of incubation, with the NP load increasing over time. The anti-inflammatory effect of BMP-IOH-NPs in vitro was dose dependent and higher than that of Dexa or free BMP, confirming efficient release of the drug. In vivo, Zymosan-A-induced paw inflammation was significantly reduced in mice treated with BMP-IOH-NPs. AAI mice that received BMP-IOH-NPs or Dexa but not BMP revealed significantly decreased eosinophil numbers in BALs and reduced immune cell infiltration in lungs. Correspondingly, lung function parameters, which were strongly affected in non-treated AAI mice, were unaffected in AAI mice treated with BMP-IOH-NPs and resembled those of healthy animals. Accumulation of BMP-IOH-NPs within the lungs of AAI mice was detectable by optical imaging for at least 4 h in vivo, where they were preferentially taken up by peribronchial and alveolar M2 macrophages. Conclusion: Our results show that BMP-IOH-NPs can effectively be applied in therapy of inflammatory diseases with at least equal efficacy as the gold standard Dexa, while their delivery can be simultaneously tracked in vivo by fluorescence imaging. BMP-IOH-NPs thus have the potential to reach clinical applications."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.7150/thno.28324"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15757"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59620"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1838-7640"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Therapeutic Fluorescent Hybrid Nanoparticles for Traceable Delivery of Glucocorticoids to Inflammatory Sites"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI2022Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","918"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","5"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Cells"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","11"],["dc.contributor.affiliation","Svetlove, Angelika; 1Translational Molecular Imaging, Max-Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, City Campus, 37075 Göttingen, Germany; anzhelika.svetlova@mpinat.mpg.de (A.S.); markus@mpinat.mpg.de (M.A.M.); falves@gwdg.de (F.A.)"],["dc.contributor.affiliation","Albers, Jonas; 2X-ray Based Preclinical Imaging Technologies, Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Medical Center, 37075 Göttingen, Germany; jonas.albers@embl-hamburg.de"],["dc.contributor.affiliation","Hülsmann, Swen; 3Central Breathing Control, Clinic for Anesthesiology, University Medical Center, 37075 Göttingen, Germany; shuelsm2@uni-goettingen.de"],["dc.contributor.affiliation","Markus, Marietta Andrea; 1Translational Molecular Imaging, Max-Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, City Campus, 37075 Göttingen, Germany; anzhelika.svetlova@mpinat.mpg.de (A.S.); markus@mpinat.mpg.de (M.A.M.); falves@gwdg.de (F.A.)"],["dc.contributor.affiliation","Zschüntzsch, Jana; 4Neuromuscular Disease Research, Clinic for Neurology, University Medical Center, 37075 Göttingen, Germany; j.zschuentzsch@med.uni-goettingen.de"],["dc.contributor.affiliation","Alves, Frauke; 1Translational Molecular Imaging, Max-Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, City Campus, 37075 Göttingen, Germany; anzhelika.svetlova@mpinat.mpg.de (A.S.); markus@mpinat.mpg.de (M.A.M.); falves@gwdg.de (F.A.)"],["dc.contributor.affiliation","Dullin, Christian; 2X-ray Based Preclinical Imaging Technologies, Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Medical Center, 37075 Göttingen, Germany; jonas.albers@embl-hamburg.de"],["dc.contributor.author","Svetlove, Angelika"],["dc.contributor.author","Albers, Jonas"],["dc.contributor.author","Hülsmann, Swen"],["dc.contributor.author","Markus, Marietta Andrea"],["dc.contributor.author","Zschüntzsch, Jana"],["dc.contributor.author","Alves, Frauke"],["dc.contributor.author","Dullin, Christian"],["dc.date.accessioned","2022-04-01T10:00:28Z"],["dc.date.available","2022-04-01T10:00:28Z"],["dc.date.issued","2022"],["dc.date.updated","2022-04-08T11:23:03Z"],["dc.description.abstract","Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common x-chromosomal inherited dystrophinopathy which leads to progressive muscle weakness and a premature death due to cardiorespiratory dysfunction. The mdx mouse lacks functional dystrophin protein and has a comparatively human-like diaphragm phenotype. To date, diaphragm function can only be inadequately mapped in preclinical studies and a simple reliable translatable method of tracking the severity of the disease still lacks. We aimed to establish a sensitive, reliable, harmless and easy way to assess the effects of respiratory muscle weakness and subsequent irregularity in breathing pattern. Optical respiratory dynamics tracking (ORDT) was developed utilising a camera to track the movement of paper markers placed on the thoracic-abdominal region of the mouse. ORDT successfully distinguished diseased mdx phenotype from healthy controls by measuring significantly higher expiration constants (k) in mdx mice compared to wildtype (wt), which were also observed in the established X-ray based lung function (XLF). In contrast to XLF, with ORDT we were able to distinguish distinct fast and slow expiratory phases. In mdx mice, a larger part of the expiratory marker displacement was achieved in this initial fast phase as compared to wt mice. This phenomenon could not be observed in the XLF measurements. We further validated the simplicity and reliability of our approach by demonstrating that it can be performed using free-hand smartphone acquisition. We conclude that ORDT has a great preclinical potential to monitor DMD and other neuromuscular diseases based on changes in the breathing patterns with the future possibility to track therapy response."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2022"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/cells11050918"],["dc.identifier.pii","cells11050918"],["dc.identifier.pmid","35269540"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/105437"],["dc.identifier.url","https://mbexc.uni-goettingen.de/literature/publications/535"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-530"],["dc.relation","EXC 2067: Multiscale Bioimaging"],["dc.relation.eissn","2073-4409"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Alves (Translationale Molekulare Bildgebung)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.title","Non-Invasive Optical Motion Tracking Allows Monitoring of Respiratory Dynamics in Dystrophin-Deficient Mice"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC2019Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","70"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","NeuroImage"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","80"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","199"],["dc.contributor.author","Töpperwien, Mareike"],["dc.contributor.author","Markus, Andrea"],["dc.contributor.author","Alves, Frauke"],["dc.contributor.author","Salditt, Tim"],["dc.date.accessioned","2020-03-04T13:32:26Z"],["dc.date.available","2020-03-04T13:32:26Z"],["dc.date.issued","2019"],["dc.description.abstract","Knowledge of the three-dimensional (3d) neuronal cytoarchitecture is an important factor in order to understand the connection between tissue structure and function or to visualize pathological changes in neurodegenerative diseases or tumor development. The gold standard in neuropathology is histology, a technique which provides insights into the cellular organization based on sectioning of the sample. Conventional histology, however, misses the complete 3d information as only individual two-dimensional slices through the object are available. In this work, we use propagation-based phase-contrast x-ray tomography to perform 3d virtual histology on cerebellar tissue from mice. This technique enables us to non-invasively visualize the entire 3d density distribution of the examined samples at isotropic (sub-)cellular resolution. One central challenge, however, of the technique is the fact that contrast for important structural features can be easily lost due to small electron density differences, notably between the cells and surrounding tissue. Here, we evaluate the influence of different embedding media, which are intermediate steps in sample preparation for classical histology, on contrast formation and examine the applicability of the different sample preparations both at a synchrotron-based holotomography setup as well as a laboratory source."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.05.043"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31129306"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16568"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/63105"],["dc.identifier.url","https://mbexc.uni-goettingen.de/literature/publications/201"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation","EXC 2067: Multiscale Bioimaging"],["dc.relation.eissn","1095-9572"],["dc.relation.issn","1053-8119"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Salditt (Structure of Biomolecular Assemblies and X-Ray Physics)"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Alves (Translationale Molekulare Bildgebung)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.gro","x-ray imaging"],["dc.subject.gro","biomedical tomography"],["dc.title","Contrast enhancement for visualizing neuronal cytoarchitecture by propagation-based x-ray phase-contrast tomography"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC2014Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.artnumber","e90017"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","2"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","PLoS ONE"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","9"],["dc.contributor.author","Markus, M.

Central to the inflammatory process in asthma is the recruitment of eosinophils to the airways, which release proteases and proinflammatory factors and contribute to airway remodeling. The aim of this study was to establish a new approach to non-invasively assess lung eosinophilia during the course of experimental asthma by combining non-invasive near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging with the specific detection of Siglec-F, a lectin found predominantly on eosinophils. Methodology/Principal Findings: An ovalbumin (OVA)-based model was used to induce asthma-like experimental allergic airway disease (EAAD) in BALB/c mice. By means of a NIRF imager, we demonstrate that 48 h-72 h after intravenous (i.v.) application of a NIRF-labeled anti-Siglec-F antibody, mice with EAAD exhibited up to 2 times higher fluorescence intensities compared to lungs of control mice. Furthermore, average lung intensities of dexamethasone-treated as well as beta-escin-treated mice were 1.8 and 2 times lower than those of untreated, EAAD mice, respectively and correlated with the reduction of cell infiltration in the lung. Average fluorescence intensities measured in explanted lungs confirmed the in vivo findings of significantly higher values in inflamed lungs as compared to controls. Fluorescence microscopy of lung cryosections localized the i.v. applied NIRF-labeled anti-Siglec-F antibody predominantly to eosinophils in the peribronchial areas of EAAD lungs as opposed to control lungs. Conclusion/Significance: We show that monitoring the occurrence of eosinophils, a prominent feature of allergic asthma, by means of a NIRF-labeled antibody directed against Siglec-F is a novel and powerful non-invasive optical imaging approach to assess EAAD and therapeutic response in mice over time."],["dc.description.sponsorship","European Commission [GA 230739]"],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2014"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0090017"],["dc.identifier.isi","000332385900109"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24587190"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/9995"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/34220"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Public Library Science"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Non-Invasive Optical Imaging of Eosinophilia during the Course of an Experimental Allergic Airways Disease Model and in Response to Therapy"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2015Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","143"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Journal of Synchrotron Radiation"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","155"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","22"],["dc.contributor.author","Dullin, Christian"],["dc.contributor.author","dal Monego, Simeone"],["dc.contributor.author","Larsson, Emanuel"],["dc.contributor.author","Mohammadi, Sara"],["dc.contributor.author","Krenkel, Martin"],["dc.contributor.author","Garrovo, Chiara"],["dc.contributor.author","Biffi, Stefania"],["dc.contributor.author","Lorenzon, Andrea"],["dc.contributor.author","Markus, Andrea"],["dc.contributor.author","Napp, Joanna"],["dc.contributor.author","Salditt, Tim"],["dc.contributor.author","Accardo, Agostino"],["dc.contributor.author","Alves, Frauke"],["dc.contributor.author","Tromba, Giuliana"],["dc.date.accessioned","2017-09-07T11:44:46Z"],["dc.date.available","2017-09-07T11:44:46Z"],["dc.date.issued","2015"],["dc.description.abstract","Functionalized computed tomography (CT) in combination with labelled cells is virtually non-existent due to the limited sensitivity of X-ray-absorption-based imaging, but would be highly desirable to realise cell tracking studies in entire organisms.

Using a divergent x-ray beam generated by nanoscale focusing, we used zoom tomography to produce three-dimensional reconstructions with selectable magnification, resolution, and field of view. Thus, macroscopic tissue samples extending over several mm can be studied in sub-cellular-level structural detail. The zoom capability and, in particular, the high dose efficiency are enabled by the near-perfect exit wavefront of an optimized x-ray waveguide channel. In combination with suitable phase-retrieval algorithms, challenging radiation-sensitive and low-contrast samples can be reconstructed with minimal artefacts. The dose efficiency of the method is demonstrated by the reconstruction of living macrophages both with and without phagocytized contrast agents. We also used zoom tomography to visualize barium-labelled macrophages in the context of morphological structures in asthmatic and healthy mouse lung tissue one day after intratracheal application. The three-dimensional reconstructions showed that the macrophages predominantly localized to the alveoli, but they were also found in bronchial walls, indicating that these cells might be able to migrate from the lumen of the bronchi through the epithelium."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/srep09973"],["dc.identifier.fs","615791"],["dc.identifier.gro","3141904"],["dc.identifier.isi","000354310200001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25966338"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13625"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/2367"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","2045-2322"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Salditt (Structure of Biomolecular Assemblies and X-Ray Physics)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.subject.gro","x-ray imaging"],["dc.subject.gro","biomedical tomography"],["dc.subject.mesh","Animals"],["dc.subject.mesh","Cell Line, Transformed"],["dc.subject.mesh","Cell Movement"],["dc.subject.mesh","Macrophages, Alveolar"],["dc.subject.mesh","Mice"],["dc.subject.mesh","Pulmonary Alveoli"],["dc.subject.mesh","Respiratory Mucosa"],["dc.subject.mesh","Tomography, X-Ray"],["dc.title","Phase-contrast zoom tomography reveals precise locations of macrophages in mouse lungs"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2021Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.artnumber","10846"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","1"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Scientific Reports"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","11"],["dc.contributor.author","Albers, Jonas"],["dc.contributor.author","Svetlove, Angelika"],["dc.contributor.author","Alves, Justus"],["dc.contributor.author","Kraupner, Alexander"],["dc.contributor.author","di Lillo, Francesca"],["dc.contributor.author","Markus, M.

Thus, the aim was to establish a novel approach that combines 3D information provided by microCT with high specificity that only (immuno-)histochemistry can offer. For this purpose, we developed a software frontend, which utilises an elastic transformation technique to accurately co-register various histological and immunohistochemical stainings with free propagation phase contrast synchrotron radiation microCT. We demonstrate that the precision of the overlay of both imaging modalities is significantly improved by performing our elastic registration workflow, as evidenced by calculation of the displacement index. To illustrate the need for an elastic co-registration approach we examined specimens from a mouse model of breast cancer with injected metal-based nanoparticles. Using the elastic transformation pipeline, we were able to co-localise the nanoparticles to specifically stained cells or tissue structures into their three-dimensional anatomical context. Additionally, we performed a semi-automated tissue structure and cell classification. This workflow provides new insights on histopathological analysis by combining CT specific three-dimensional information with cell/tissue specific information provided by classical histology."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2021"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s41598-021-89841-w"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/86761"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-425"],["dc.relation.eissn","2045-2322"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.title","Elastic transformation of histological slices allows precise co-registration with microCT data sets for a refined virtual histology approach"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI2018Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.artnumber","7712"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","1"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Scientific Reports"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","8"],["dc.contributor.author","Albers, Jonas"],["dc.contributor.author","Markus, M.

Since to date, targeted sectioning of specific regions of interest (ROI) in the sample is not possible, we aimed at developing a guided sectioning approach based on x-ray 3D virtual histology for heavy ion stained murine lung samples. For this purpose, we increased the contrast to noise ratio of a standard benchtop microCT by 5-10-fold using free-propagation phase contrast imaging and thus substantially improved image quality. We then show that microCT 3D datasets deliver more precise anatomical information and quantification of the sample than traditional histological sections, which display deformations of the tissue. To quantify these deformations caused by sectioning we developed the \"Displacement Index (DI)\", which combines block-matching with the calculation of the local mutual information. We show that the DI substantially decreases when a femtosecond laser microtome is used for sections as opposed to a traditional microtome. In conclusion, our microCT based virtual histology approach can be used as a supplement and a guidance tool for traditional histology, providing 3D measurement capabilities and offering the ability to perform sectioning directly at an ROI."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s41598-018-26086-0"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29769600"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15268"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59272"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","2045-2322"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","X-ray based virtual histology allows guided sectioning of heavy ion stained murine lungs for histological analysis."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC
