The present study aims to use polymer dots to explore whether they can visualize tumor lesions in a diethylnitrosamine (DENA)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) model. The HCC rat model was set up, and serum liver function indexes and AFP were tested on days 0, 30, 60, and 90 of the modeling process. After characterization of the polymer dots, they were injected into the rats and mice. The liver, spleen, and kidney of rats and the gallbladder of mice were extracted to verify the metabolic pathways of the polymer dots and their capability of fluorescent localization of HCC and gallbladder by fluorescence imaging. Strong fluorescent emission from the liver appeared immediately and 15 min after the polymer dots were injected through the main portal veins and tail veins of the model rats, respectively. A satisfactory fluorescent imaging effect lasted up to 45 min. Polymer dots circulate through the bloodstream within intrahepatic vessels rather than intracellular areas and can be clearly visualized by using both the pCLE and IVIS spectrum imaging systems. Contrast imaging of HCC lesions without fluorescent emissions was due to the lack of normal portal-hepatic veins within the tumor areas. Fluorescent imaging of the gallbladder could also be detected at 15 min after the polymer dots were injected through the tail veins of mice. The polymer dots had satisfactory fluorescent localization capability for targeted intrahepatic vessels and HCC lesionsin vivoand showed potential practical value in hepato-biliary surgery.
