The purpose of this study was to combine a three-dimensional NMR-compatible bioreactor with hyperpolarized (13)C NMR spectroscopy in order to probe cellular metabolism in real time. JM1 (immortalized rat hepatoma) cells were cultured in a three-dimensional NMR-compatible fluidized bioreactor. (31)P spectra were acquired before and after each injection of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C] pyruvate and subsequent (13)C spectroscopy at 11.7 T. (1)H and two-dimensional (1)H-(1)H-total correlation spectroscopy spectra were acquired from extracts of cells grown in uniformly labeled (13)C-glucose, on a 16.4 T, to determine (13)C fractional enrichment and distribution of (13)C label. JM1 cells were found to have a high rate of aerobic glycolysis in both two-dimensional culture and in the bioreactor, with 85% of the (13)C label from uniformly labeled (13)C-glucose being present as either lactate or alanine after 23 h. Flux measurements of pyruvate through lactate dehydrogenase and alanine aminotransferase in the bioreactor system were 12.18 +/- 0.49 nmols/sec/10(8) cells and 2.39 +/- 0.30 nmols/sec/10(8) cells, respectively, were reproducible in the same bioreactor, and were not significantly different over the course of 2 days. Although this preliminary study involved immortalized cells, this combination of technologies can be extended to the real-time metabolic exploration of primary benign and cancerous cells and tissues prior to and after therapy.

Volumetric Patch-Based Super-Resolution Reconstruction of Hyperpolarized C Cardiac MRI.

The achievable spatial resolution of C metabolic images acquired with hyperpolarized C-pyruvate is worse than H images typically by an order of magnitude due to the rapidly decaying hyperpolarized signals and the low gyromagnetic ratio of C. This study is to develop and characterize a volumetric patch-based super-resolution reconstruction algorithm that enhances spatial resolution C cardiac MRI by utilizing structural information from H MRI. The reconstruction procedure comprises anatomical segmentation from high-resolution H MRI, calculation of a patch-based weight matrix, and iterative reconstruction of high-resolution multi-slice C MRI.

NMR is a central tool in the field of metabolomics, thanks to its ability to provide valuable structural and quantitative information with high precision. Most NMR-based metabolomics studies rely on 1D H detection, which is heavily limited by strong peak overlap. C NMR benefits from a wider spectral dispersion and narrower signal line width but is barely used in metabolomics due to its low sensitivity.

Pyruvate is situated at the intersection of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis, which are the primary energy-producing pathways in cells. Cancer therapies targeting these pathways have been previously documented, indicating that inhibiting one pathway may lead to functional compensation by the other, resulting in an insufficient antitumor effect. Thus, effective cancer treatment necessitates concurrent and comprehensive suppression of both.

In recent years, there has been remarkable progress in the field of dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (D-DNP). This method has shown significant potential for enhancing nuclear polarization by over 10,000 times, resulting in a substantial increase in sensitivity. The unprecedented signal enhancements achieved with D-DNP have opened new possibilities for in vitro analysis.

Article Synopsis
- High grade serous ovarian cancer has two metabolic subtypes: a high OXPHOS subtype that is more chemosensitive and a low OXPHOS subtype that relies on glycolysis and is more drug resistant.
- The low OXPHOS subtype shows higher levels of lactate dehydrogenase and monocarboxylate transporter 4, indicating different metabolic behaviors compared to the high OXPHOS subtype.
- Two imaging techniques, C magnetic resonance spectroscopy and PET scans, can differentiate between these subtypes and track their treatment responses, offering potential clinical applications for patient management.
