Hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopy for in vivo metabolic phenotyping of rat HCC

Abstract The in vivo assessment of tissue metabolism represents a novel strategy for the evaluation of oncologic disease. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a high-prevalence, high-mortality tumor entity often discovered at a late stage. Recent evidence indicates that survival differences depend on m...

For ex vivo validation, enzyme activity and metabolite concentrations were spectroscopically quantified in cell and tumor tissue extracts.

Dynamic HPMRS revealed higher pyruvate-to-lactate conversion rates (k pl ) and lactate signal in subcutaneous tumors derived from high L/A tumor cells, consistent with ex vivo measurements of higher lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in these cells. In conclusion, HPMRS and HPMRSI reveal distinct tumor phenotypes corresponding to differences in glycolytic metabolism in HCC tumor tissue.Elisabeth BliemsriederGeorgios KaissisMartin GrasheiGeoffrey ToppingJennifer AltomonteChristian HundshammerFabian LohöferIrina HeidDominik KeimSelamawit GebrekidanMarija Trajkovic-ArsicAline WinkelkotteKatja SteigerRoman NawrothJens SivekeMarkus SchwaigerMarcus MakowskiFranz SchillingRickmer BrarenNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-9 (2021)
