Purpose: To develop a photoacoustic imaging (PAI) reporter gene that has high translational potential. Previous research has shown that human organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1b3 (OATP1B3) promotes the uptake of the near-infrared fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG). In this study, the authors have established OATP1B3 and ICG as a reporter gene-probe pair for in vivo PAI.Materials and Methods: Human breast cancer cells were engineered to express OATP1B3. Control cells (not expressing OATP1B3) or OATP1B3-expressing cells were incubated with or without ICG, placed in a breast-mimicking phantom, and imaged with PAI. Control (n = 6) or OATP1B3-expressing (n = 5) cells were then implanted orthotopically into female mice. Full-spectrum PAI was performed before and 24 hours after ICG administration. One-way analysis of variance was performed, followed by Tukey posthoc multiple comparisons, to assess statistical significance.Results: OATP1B3-expressing cells incubated with ICG exhibited a 2.7-fold increase in contrast-to-noise ratio relative to all other controls in vitro (P
