We report on a novel and straightforward magnetic cell labeling approach that combines three FDA-approved drugs, ferumoxytol (F), heparin (H) and protamine (P) in serum free media to form self-assembling nanocomplexes that effectively label cells for in vivo MRI. We observed that the HPF nanocomplexes were stable in serum free cell culture media. HPF nanocomplexes exhibited a three-fold increase in T2 relaxivity compared to F. Electron Microscopy revealed internalized HPF within endosomes, confirmed by Prussian blue staining of labeled cells. There was no long-term effect or toxicity on cellular physiology or function of HPF-labeled hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow stromal cells, neural stem cells, and T-cells when compared to controls. In vivo MRI detected 1000 HPF-labeled cells implanted in rat brains. HPF labeling method should facilitate the monitoring by MRI of infused or implanted cells in clinical trials.
