To monitor the fate of transplanted cells within the organism, several non-invasive techniques have been introduced, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cells labeled with a contrast agent prior to grafting. Our previous study demonstrated a severe oxidative injury to lipids, proteins and DNA of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as a result of their labeling with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). CZF nanoparticles represent another type of contrast agent based not only on iron, but also on cobalt and zinc (Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4+γ), with a ferrite core encapsulated by amorphous silica. The present study was performed with the aim of determining the safe concentration of CZF nanoparticles with respect to oxidative damage to biological macromolecules.
