Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as a diagnostic modality to track iron-oxide labeled stem cells. This study investigates whether an off-resonance (OR) pulse sequence designed to generate positive contrast at 1.5-Tesla can assess location, quantity and viability of delivered stem cells in vivo. Using mouse embryonic stem cell transfected with luciferase reporter gene (luc-mESC), multimodality validation of OR signal was conducted to determine whether engraftment parameters of superparamagnetic iron-oxide labeled luc-mESC (SPIO-luc-mESC) could be determined after cell transplantation into the mouse hind limb. A significant increase in signal- and contrast-to-noise of the SPIO-luc-mESC was achieved by OR technique when compared to GRE sequence. A significant correlation between the quantity of SPIO-luc-mESC and OR signal was observed immediately after transplantation (R2=0.74, p<0.05). The assessment of transplanted cell viability by bioluminescence imaging (BLI) showed significant increase of luciferase activities by day 16 while MRI signal showed no difference. No significant correlation between BLI and MRI signals of cell viability was observed. In conclusion, using off-resonance sequence, the precise localization and quantitation of SPIO-labeled stem cells in both space and time were possible. However, off-resonance sequence did not allow evaluation of cell viability.
