Enantiomeric Recognition of d- and l-Lactate by CEST with the Aid of a Paramagnetic Shift Reagent.

ABSTRACT: A previous report demonstrated that EuDO3A could be used as an NMR shift reagent for imaging extracellular lactate produced by cancer cells using CEST imaging. In this work, a series of heptadentate macrocyclic YbDO3A-trisamide complexes with ?-chiral carbons in the three pendant side-arms were examined as shift reagents for lactate detection. High resolution 1H NMR spectra and DFT calculations provided evidence for the formation of stereoselective lactate·YbDO3A-trisamide complexes each with a different CEST signature. This stereoselectivity allowed discrimination of d- versus l-lactate by both high-resolution NMR and CEST. This work demonstrates that lanthanide-based paramagnetic shift reagents can be designed to detect important metabolites by CEST MRI selectively.

Project description:BackgroundExcessive lactate production, a hallmark of cancer, is largely formed by the reduction of pyruvate via lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to L-lactate. Although D-lactate can also be produced from glucose via the methylglyoxal pathway in small amounts, less is known about the amount of D-lactate produced in cancer cells. Since the stereoisomers of lactate cannot be distinguished by conventional 1H NMR spectroscopy, a chiral NMR shift reagent was used to fully resolve the 1H NMR resonances of D- and L-lactate.MethodsThe production of L-lactate from glucose and D-lactate from methylglyoxal was first demonstrated in freshly isolated red blood cells using the chiral NMR shift reagent, YbDO3A-trisamide. Then, two different cell lines with high GLO1 expression (H1648 and H 1395) were selected from a panel of over 80 well-characterized human NSCLC cell lines, grown to confluence in standard tissue culture media, washed with phosphate-buffered saline, and exposed to glucose in a buffer for 4 h. After 4 h, a small volume of extracellular fluid was collected and mixed with YbDO3A-trisamide for analysis by 1H NMR spectroscopy.ResultsA suspension of freshly isolated red blood cells exposed to 5mM glucose produced L-lactate as expected but very little D-lactate. To evaluate the utility of the chiral NMR shift reagent, methylglyoxal was then added to red cells along with glucose to stimulate the production of D-lactate via the glyoxalate pathway. In this case, both D-lactate and L-lactate were produced and their NMR chemical shifts assigned. NSCLC cell lines with different expression levels of GLO1 produced both L- and D-lactate after incubation with glucose and glutamine alone. A GLO1-deleted parental cell line (3553T3) showed no production of D-lactate from glucose while re-expression of GLO1 resulted in higher production of D-lactate.ConclusionsThe shift-reagent-aided NMR technique demonstrates that D-lactate is produced from glucose in NSCLC cells via the methylglyoxal pathway. The biological role of D-lactate is uncertain but a convenient method for monitoring D-lactate production could provide new insights into the biological roles of D- versus L-lactate in cancer metabolism.
