The challenge is to accurately monitor the development of high-risk carotid plaques and promptly identify patients, who are unresponsive to best medical therapy, and hence targeted for carotid surgical interventions to prevent stroke. Inflammation is a key operator in destabilisation of plaques prior to clinical sequelae. Currently, there is a lack of imaging tool in routine clinical practice, which allows assessment of inflammatory activity within the atherosclerotic plaque. Herein, we have used a periarterial cuff to generate a progressive carotid atherosclerosis model in apolipoprotein E\u2013deficient mice. This model produced clinically relevant plaques with different levels of risk, fulfilling American Heart Association (AHA) classification, at specific timepoints and locations, along the same carotid artery. Exploiting this platform, we have developed smart molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probes consisting of dual-targeted microparticles of iron oxide (DT-MPIO) against VCAM-1 and P-selectin, to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of statin therapy on progressive carotid atherosclerosis. We demonstrated that in vivo DT-MPIO-enhanced MRI can (i) quantitatively track plaque inflammation from early to advanced stage; (ii) identify and characterise high-risk inflamed, vulnerable plaques; and (iii) monitor the response to statin therapy longitudinally. Moreover, this molecular imaging\u2013defined therapeutic response was validated using AHA classification of human plaques, a clinically relevant parameter, approximating the clinical translation of this tool. Further development and translation of this molecular imaging tool into the clinical arena may potentially facilitate more accurate risk stratification, permitting timely identification of the high-risk patients for prophylactic carotid intervention, affording early opportunities for stroke prevention in the future.\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s12975-022-01114-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,9]],"date-time":"2022-12-09T03:02:27Z","timestamp":1670554947000},"page":"110-126","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Translational Molecular Imaging Tool of Vulnerable Carotid Plaque: Evaluate Effects of Statin Therapy on Plaque Inflammation and American Heart Association\u2013Defined Risk Levels in Cuff-Implanted Apolipoprotein E\u2013Deficient Mice"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Joyce M.
