Hyperpolarized [1-13C] pyruvate MR spectroscopy detect altered glycolysis in the brain of a cognitively impaired mouse model fed high-fat diet.

ABSTRACT: Higher dietary intakes of saturated fatty acid increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and dementia, and even in people without diabetes higher glucose levels may be a risk factor for dementia. The mechanisms causing neuronal dysfunction and dementia by consuming high-fat diet degrading the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) has been suggested but are not yet fully understood, and metabolic state of the brain by this type of insult is still veiled. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of high-fat diet on the brain metabolism by a multimodal imaging method using the hyperpolarizedcarbon 13 (13C)-pyruvate magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging in conjunction with the biochemical assay and the behavior test in a mouse model fed high-fat diet (HFD). In mice were fed 60% HFD for 6?months, hyperpolarized [1-13C] pyruvate MR spectroscopy showed decreased perfusion (p?

Project description:MRI using hyperpolarized (HP) carbon-13 pyruvate is being investigated in clinical trials to provide non-invasive measurements of metabolism for cancer and cardiac imaging. In this project, we applied HP [1-13 C]pyruvate dynamic MRI in prostate cancer to measure the conversion from pyruvate to lactate, which is expected to increase in aggressive cancers. The goal of this work was to develop and test analysis methods for improved quantification of this metabolic conversion. In this work, we compared specialized kinetic modeling methods to estimate the pyruvate-to-lactate conversion rate, kPL , as well as the lactate-to-pyruvate area-under-curve (AUC) ratio. The kinetic modeling included an "inputless" method requiring no assumptions regarding the input function, as well as a method incorporating bolus characteristics in the fitting. These were first evaluated with simulated data designed to match human prostate data, where we examined the expected sensitivity of metabolism quantification to variations in kPL , signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), bolus characteristics, relaxation rates, and B1 variability. They were then applied to 17 prostate cancer patient datasets. The simulations indicated that the inputless method with fixed relaxation rates provided high expected accuracy with no sensitivity to bolus characteristics. The AUC ratio showed an undesired strong sensitivity to bolus variations. Fitting the input function as well did not improve accuracy over the inputless method. In vivo results showed qualitatively accurate kPL maps with inputless fitting. The AUC ratio was sensitive to bolus delivery variations. Fitting with the input function showed high variability in parameter maps. Overall, we found the inputless kPL fitting method to be a simple, robust approach for quantification of metabolic conversion following HP [1-13 C]pyruvate injection in human prostate cancer studies. This study also provided initial ranges of HP [1-13 C]pyruvate parameters (SNR, kPL , bolus characteristics) in the human prostate.

Project description:In the heart, detection of hyperpolarized [(13)C]bicarbonate and (13)CO(2) by magnetic resonance (MR) after administration of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]pyruvate is caused exclusively by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate via the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH). However, liver mitochondria possess alternative anabolic pathways accessible by [1-(13)C]pyruvate, which may allow a wider diagnostic range for hyperpolarized MR compared with other tissue. Metabolism of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]pyruvate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle was monitored in the isolated perfused liver from fed and fasted mice. Hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]pyruvate was rapidly converted to [1-(13)C]lactate, [1-(13)C]alanine, [1-(13)C]malate, [4-(13)C]malate, [1-(13)C]aspartate, [4-(13)C]aspartate, and [(13)C]bicarbonate. Livers from fasted animals had increased lactate:alanine, consistent with elevated NADH:NAD(+). The appearance of asymmetrically enriched malate and aspartate indicated high rates of anaplerotic pyruvate carboxylase activity and incomplete equilibration with fumarate. Hyperpolarized [(13)C]bicarbonate was also detected, consistent with multiple mechanisms, including cataplerotic decarboxylation of [4-(13)C]oxaloacetate via phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), forward TCA cycle flux of [4-(13)C]oxaloacetate to generate (13)CO(2) at isocitrate dehydrogenase, or decarboxylation of [1-(13)C]pyruvate by PDH. Isotopomer analysis of liver glutamate confirmed that anaplerosis was sevenfold greater than flux through PDH. In addition, signal from [4-(13)C]malate and [4-(13)C]aspartate was markedly blunted and signal from [(13)C]bicarbonate was completely abolished in livers from PEPCK KO mice, indicating that the major pathway for entry of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]pyruvate into the hepatic TCA cycle is via pyruvate carboxylase, and that cataplerotic flux through PEPCK is the primary source of [(13)C]bicarbonate. We conclude that MR detection of hyperpolarized TCA intermediates and bicarbonate is diagnostic of pyruvate carboxylase and PEPCK flux in the liver.
