abstract = {Paramagnetic transition metals play a crucial role as
cofactors in various cellular catalytic processes. However,
their high concentrations in reactive oxidation states can
induce oxidative stress, resulting in cell dysfunction or
death. Hence, it is vital to have methods to monitor metal
concentrations and paramagnetic properties in cells for
medicine and cell biology. Here we present a novel
multimodal method for in-cell magnetometry enabling direct
measurement of metal magnetic properties within individual
cells in tissue, without prior isolation and at room
temperature. Individual cell magnetic moments are measured
using superresolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
microscopy at 9.4 T by detecting microscopic magnetic-field
perturbations around the cells. The cellular metal content
is quantified using ion-beam microscopy or synchrotron
micro-x-ray fluorescence for the same cells. The metal
magnetic susceptibility at 9.4 T is then obtained from the
slope of the cell magnetic moments’ dependence on cell
metal content. To estimate the susceptibility at lower
fields, multifield MR relaxometry and biophysical modeling
are employed, extrapolating the 9.4-T susceptibility values
to fields as low as 3 T. We apply the new method to
determine the susceptibility of iron accumulated in human
dopaminergic neurons inside neuromelanin, the by-product of
dopamine synthesis. The susceptibility of iron in
neuromelanin is measured to be $𝜒_𝜌$=(2.98±0.19) ×
10$^{−6}$ m$^3$/kg providing unique insights into the
biochemistry of iron inside dopaminergic neurons. The
obtained value reveals a predominant monoatomic low-affinity
iron-binding site within neuromelanin, indicating a higher
neurotoxicity of iron than previously suggested.
Furthermore, the measured susceptibility value establishes a
quantitative relationship between cellular iron
concentration and iron-sensitive MRI parameters, which can
be noninvasively measured in vivo. This breakthrough paves
the way for the in vivo detection of dopaminergic neuron
density and iron load, requiring a standard clinical MRI
scanner only. It promises to facilitate early diagnosis of
Parkinson’s disease. In conclusion, our presented novel
method enables the direct measurements of magnetic
properties of paramagnetic metals within single cells with
high sensitivity and across large cell groups within a
macroscopic volume, providing invaluable information about
the cellular biology of metals.},
