Background

Hypoxia is one of the key factors affecting the survival of islet cells transplanted via the portal vein. Blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) is the only imaging technique that can detect the level of blood oxygen level in vivo. However, so far no study has indicated that BOLD-fMRI can be applied to monitor the liver oxygen level after islet transplantation.

Objective

To evaluate the value of Carbogen-challenge BOLD MRI in assessing the level of hypoxia in liver tissue after portal microcapsules implanted.

Methods

Fifty-one New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three experimental groups (15 in each group) were transplanted microencapsulated 1000 microbeads/kg (PV1 group), 3000 microbeads/kg (PV2 group), 5000 microbeads/kg (PV3 group), and 6 rabbits were injected with the same amount of saline as the control group, BOLD-fMRI was performed following carbogen breathing in each group after transplantation on 1d, 2d, 3d and 7d, T2* weighted image, R2* value and ΔR2* value parameters for the liver tissue. Pathological examinations including liver gross pathology, H&E staining and pimonidazole immunohistochemistry were performed after BOLD-fMRI. The differences of pathological results among each group were compared. The ΔR2* values and transplanted doses were analyzed.

Results and conclusions

ΔR2* values at the 1-3d and 7d after transplantation were significantly different in each groups (P<0.05). ΔR2* values decreased gradually with the increase of transplanted dose, and was negatively correlated with transplant dose at 3d after transplantation (r = -0.929, P <0.001). Liver histopathological examination showed that the degree of hypoxia of liver tissue increased with the increase of transplanted doses, Carbogen-challenge BOLD-fMRI can assess the degree of liver hypoxia after portal microcapsules implanted, which provided a monitoring method for early intervention.
