D-Glucose uptake and clearance in the tauopathy Alzheimer's disease mouse brain detected by on-resonance variable delay multiple pulse MRI.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we applied on-resonance variable delay multiple pulse (onVDMP) MRI to study D-glucose uptake in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) tauopathy and demonstrated its feasibility in discriminating AD mice from wild-type mice. The D-glucose uptake in the cortex of AD mice (1.70 ± 1.33%) was significantly reduced compared to that of wild-type mice (5.42 ± 0.70%, p = 0.0051). Also, a slower D-glucose uptake rate was found in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of AD mice (0.08 ± 0.01 min^-1) compared to their wild-type counterpart (0.56 ± 0.1 min^-1, p < 0.001), which suggests the presence of an impaired glucose transporter on both blood-brain and blood-CSF barriers of these AD mice. Clearance of D-glucose was observed in the CSF of wild-type mice but not AD mice, which suggests dysfunction of the glymphatic system in the AD mice. The results in this study indicate that onVDMP MRI could be a cost-effective and widely available method for simultaneously evaluating glucose transporter and glymphatic function of AD. This study also suggests that tau protein affects the D-glucose uptake and glymphatic impairment in AD at a time point preceding neurofibrillary tangle pathology.

Separating fast and slow exchange transfer and magnetization transfer using off-resonance variable-delay multiple-pulse (VDMP) MRI.

Project description:PURPOSE:To develop a method that can separate and quantify the fast (>1 kHz) and slow exchange transfer and magnetization transfer components in Z-spectra. METHODS:Z-spectra were recorded as a function of mixing time using a train of selective pulses providing variable-delay multipulse build-up curves. Fast and slow transfer components in the Z-spectra were separated and quantified on a voxel-by-voxel basis by fitting the mixing time-dependent CEST signal using a 3-pool model. RESULTS:Phantom studies of glutamate solution, bovine serum albumin solution, and hair conditioner showed the capability of the proposed method to separate fast and slow transfer components. In vivo mouse brain studies showed a strong contrast between white matter and gray matter in the slow-transferring map, corresponding to an asymmetric component of the conventional semisolid magnetization transfer contrast. In addition, a fast-transferring proton map was found that was homogeneous across the brain and attributed to the total contributions of the fast-exchanging protons from proteins, metabolites, and a symmetric magnetization transfer contrast component. CONCLUSIONS:This new method provides a simple way to extract fast and slow transfer components from the Z-spectrum, leading to novel MRI contrasts, and providing insight into the different magnetization transfer contrast contributions.

Monitoring diffuse injury during disease progression in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis with on resonance variable delay multiple pulse (onVDMP) CEST MRI.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that targets myelin proteins and results in extensive damage in the central nervous system in the form of focal lesions as well as diffuse molecular changes. Lesions are currently detected using T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, monitoring such lesions has been shown to be a poor predictor of disease progression. Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI is sensitive to many of the biomolecules in the central nervous system altered in MS that cannot be detected using conventional MRI. We monitored disease progression in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS using on resonance variable delay multiple pulse (onVDMP) CEST MRI. Alterations in onVDMP signal were observed in regions responsible for hindlimb function throughout the central nervous system. Histological analysis revealed glial activation in areas highlighted in onVDMP CEST MRI. onVDMP signal changes in the 3rd ventricle preceded paralysis onset that could not be observed with conventional MRI techniques. Hence, the onVDMP CEST MRI signal has potential as a novel imaging biomarker and predictor of disease progression in MS.

Altered d-glucose in brain parenchyma and cerebrospinal fluid of early Alzheimer's disease detected by dynamic glucose-enhanced MRI.

Project description:Altered cerebral glucose uptake is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A dynamic glucose-enhanced (DGE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach was developed to simultaneously monitor d-glucose uptake and clearance in both brain parenchyma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We observed substantially higher uptake in parenchyma of young (6 months) transgenic AD mice compared to age-matched wild-type (WT) mice. Notably lower uptakes were observed in parenchyma and CSF of old (16 months) AD mice. Both young and old AD mice had an obviously slower CSF clearance than age-matched WT mice. This resembles recent reports of the hampered CSF clearance that leads to protein accumulation in the brain. These findings suggest that DGE MRI can identify altered glucose uptake and clearance in young AD mice upon the emergence of amyloid plaques. DGE MRI of brain parenchyma and CSF has potential for early AD stratification, especially at 3T clinical field strength MRI.

Adenosine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance with variable-density spiral pulse sequences accurately detects coronary artery disease: initial clinical evaluation.

Project description:BackgroundAdenosine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance perfusion imaging can be limited by motion-induced dark-rim artifacts, which may be mistaken for true perfusion abnormalities. A high-resolution variable-density spiral pulse sequence with a novel density compensation strategy has been shown to reduce dark-rim artifacts in first-pass perfusion imaging. We aimed to assess the clinical performance of adenosine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance using this new perfusion sequence to detect obstructive coronary artery disease.Methods and resultsCardiovascular magnetic resonance perfusion imaging was performed during adenosine stress (140 μg/kg per minute) and at rest on a Siemens 1.5-T Avanto scanner in 41 subjects with chest pain scheduled for coronary angiography. Perfusion images were acquired during injection of 0.1 mmol/kg Gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentacetate at 3 short-axis locations using a saturation recovery interleaved variable-density spiral pulse sequence. Significant stenosis was defined as >50% by quantitative coronary angiography. Two blinded reviewers evaluated the perfusion images for the presence of adenosine-induced perfusion abnormalities and assessed image quality using a 5-point scale (1 [poor] to 5 [excellent]). The prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease by quantitative coronary angiography was 68%. The average sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 89%, 85%, and 88%, respectively, with a positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 93% and 79%, respectively. The average image quality score was 4.4±0.7, with only 1 study with more than mild dark-rim artifacts. There was good inter-reader reliability with a κ statistic of 0.67.ConclusionsSpiral adenosine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance results in high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of obstructive coronary artery disease with excellent image quality and minimal dark-rim artifacts.

CEST MRI of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose uptake and accumulation in brain tumors.

Project description:PURPOSE:3-O-Methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG) is a nonmetabolizable structural analog of glucose that offers potential to be used as a CEST-contrast agent for tumor detection. Here, we explore it for CEST-detection of malignant brain tumors and compare it with D-glucose. METHODS:Glioma xenografts of a U87-MG cell line were implanted in five mice. Dynamic 3-OMG weighted images were collected using CEST-MRI at 11.7 T at a single offset of 1.2 ppm, showing the effect of accumulation of the contrast agent in the tumor, following an intravenous injection of 3-OMG (3 g/kg). RESULTS:Tumor regions showed higher enhancement as compared to contralateral brain. The CEST contrast enhancement in the tumor region ranged from 2.5-5.0%, while it was 1.5-3.5% in contralateral brain. Previous D-glucose studies of the same tumor model showed an enhancement of 1.5-3.0% and 0.5-1.5% in tumor and contralateral brain, respectively. The signal gradually stabilized to a value that persisted for the length of the scan. CONCLUSIONS:3-OMG shows a CEST contrast enhancement that is approximately twice as much as that of D-glucose for a similar tumor line. In view of its suggested low toxicity and transport properties across the BBB, 3-OMG provides an option to be used as a nonmetallic contrast agent for evaluating brain tumors.

Glucose Pulse to sfp1delta continuous cultures

Project description:The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SFP1 is required for proper regulation of ribosome biogenesis and cell size in response to nutrients. A mutant deleted for SFP1 shows specific traits among which a slow growth phenotype, which is particularly evident during growth on glucose. To assess the effects of nutrients on the activity of Sfp1 independent by growth rate related feedback we grew an sfp1Δ mutant and its isogenic reference strain in chemostat cultures, at the same specific growth rate, under glucose/ethanol-limitation. Our data show that Sfp1 is involved in the modulation of cell size and RiBi gene expression and that these two functions are differently influenced by nutrients. The continuous cultures were then pulsed with a glucose excess generating a situation of batch growth similar to shake flask cultures. The dynamic analysis of the metabolic and transcriptional response following the glucose addition suggested that Sfp1 plays a role at the crossroads of ribosome biogenesis and central carbon metabolism regulation. Finally, we show that the down-regulation of RP genes, which was observed in an sfp1Δ strain during shake flask growth, cannot be directly ascribed to the absence of Sfp1 but is most probably a secondary effect due to the low growth potential of the mutant strain. Keywords: time-course (Steady-state based anaerobic glucose pulse)

Interference of PrfA with glucose uptake

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) strains expressing high levels of the virulence regulator PrfA (mutant PrfA* or wild-type PrfA) show strong growth inhibition in minimal media when supplemented with glucose but not when supplemented with glucose-6-phosphate compared to the isogenic strains expressing low levels of PrfA. A significantly reduced rate of glucose uptake is observed in the PrfA* over-expressing strain growing in LB supplemented with glucose. Comparative transcriptome analyses were performed with RNA isolated from a prfA mutant and the isogenic strain carrying multiple prfA or prfA* copies on a plasmid. The analysis reveals in addition to high transcriptional up-regulation of the known PrfA-regulated virulence genes (group I), less pronounced up-regulation in the expression of several phage- and metabolic genes (group II) and strong down-regulation of several genes involved mainly in carbon- and nitrogen- metabolism in the PrfA* over-expressing strain (group III). Among the latter genes are in particular the nrgAB-, gltAB-, glnRA- (involved in nitrogen metabolism), ilvB- operons (involved in biosynthesis of the branched chain amino acids) and genes for some ABC transporters. Most of the down-regulated genes have been shown previously in Bacillus subtilis to belong to a class of genes whose expression is negatively affected by impaired glucose uptake. The results lead to the conclusion that excess PrfA(*) interferes with component(s) essential for PTS-mediated glucose transport. Keywords: Metabolism and Virulence gene expression

Neuromelanin-Sensitive Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using DANTE Pulse.

Project description:BackgroundNeuromelanin-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging techniques have been developed but currently require relatively long scan times. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of black-blood delay alternating with nutation for tailored excitation-prepared T1-weighted variable flip angle turbo spin echo (DANTE T1-SPACE), which provides relatively high resolution with a short scan time, to visualize neuromelanin in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc).MethodsParticipants comprised 49 healthy controls and 25 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Contrast ratios of SNpc and hyperintense SNpc areas, which show pixels brighter than thresholds, were assessed between DANTE T1-SPACE and T1-SPACE in healthy controls. To evaluate the diagnostic ability of DANTE T1-SPACE, the contrast ratios and hyperintense areas were compared between healthy and PD groups, and receiver operating characteristic analyses were performed. We also compared areas under the curve (AUCs) between DANTE T1-SPACE and the previously reported gradient echo neuromelanin (GRE-NM) imaging. Each analysis was performed using original images in native space and images transformed into Montreal Neurological Institute space. Values of P < 0.05 were considered significant.ResultsDANTE T1-SPACE showed significantly higher contrast ratios and larger hyperintense areas than T1-SPACE. On DANTE T1-SPACE, healthy controls showed significantly higher contrast ratios and larger hyperintense areas than patients with PD. Hyperintense areas in native space analysis achieved the best AUC (0.94). DANTE T1-SPACE showed AUCs as high as those of GRE-NM.ConclusionsDANTE T1-SPACE successfully visualized neuromelanin of the SNpc and showed potential for evaluating PD. © 2020 The Authors.
