Article Abstract
Background/aim: Gadolinium has been reported to cause liver lobular necrosis and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. However, its toxicity to the skin remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a high dose of gadolinium-based contrast agent gadodiamide on the human keratinocyte HaCaT cell line.
Materials And Methods: Cell viability was assessed using MTT assay, and autophagy was assessed using acridine orange and LysoTracker Red staining. Western blotting was performed to verify the changes in Bcl2 and Bax levels.
Results: The viability of HaCaT cells was significantly suppressed after gadodiamide treatment. Interestingly, gadodiamide caused autophagic vacuoles, whereas the autophagy inhibitors 3-methyladenine and chloroquine significantly alleviated autophagic cell death. Simultaneously, gadodiamide induced apoptosis, which was reduced by caspase inhibitors. Gadodiamide also inhibited Bcl-2 expression and promoted Bax expression.
Conclusion: Gadodiamide induced both autophagy and apoptosis in HaCaT cells. Physicians should carefully assess the gadodiamide dosage used clinically.

To investigate the gadolinium deposition induced by repeated administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) in multi-organ/tissue of mother and pup mice during pregnancy and lactation, two hundred and seventy ICR mice were divided into three groups (non-pregnant, pregnant, and lactating; n = 90/group) and received gadodiamide, gadoterate meglumine, or saline intravenously (2.5 mmol Gd/kg once every two days for a total of 10 doses) throughout the entire gestation or lactation period. Gadolinium concentration detection, histological analyses, and transmission electron microscopy were performed on mother and pup mice at the completion of the injection, one month later, and three months later.

The formation of gadolinium-rich nanoparticles in multiple tissues from intravenous magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents may be the initial step in rare earth metallosis. The mechanism of gadolinium-induced diseases is poorly understood, as is how these characteristic nanoparticles are formed. Gadolinium deposition has been observed with all magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent brands.

Background: Hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) can occur unexpectedly and be life-threatening when gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are used. Gadolinium deposition disease (GDD) and symptoms associated with gadolinium exposure (SAGE) have been controversial for a long time. However, similar studies are currently incomplete or outdated.

In the diagnosis of migraine, which is a neurovascular disease, gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are used to rule out more serious conditions. On the other hand, it remains unclear as a scientific gap whether GBCAs may trigger migraine-related pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of GBCAs on mechanical and thermal pain behaviour in a nitroglycerin (NTG)-induced migraine model in mice.
