چکیده

The source of hyperpolarized (HP) [(13)C]bicarbonate in the liver during metabolism of HP [1-(13)C]pyruvate is uncertain and likely changes with physiology. Multiple processes including decarboxylation through pyruvate dehydrogenase or pyruvate carboxylase followed by subsequent decarboxylation via phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (gluconeogenesis) could play a role. Here we tested which metabolic fate of pyruvate contributed to the appearance of HP [(13)C]bicarbonate during metabolism of HP [1-(13)C]pyruvate by the liver in rats after 21 h of fasting compared to rats with free access to food. The (13)C NMR of HP [(13)C]bicarbonate was observed in the liver of fed rats, but not in fasted rats where pyruvate carboxylation and gluconeogenesis was active. To further explore the relative fluxes through pyruvate carboxylase versus pyruvate dehydrogenase in the liver under typical conditions of hyperpolarization studies, separate parallel experiments were performed with rats given non-hyperpolarized [2,3-(13)C]pyruvate. (13)C NMR analysis of glutamate isolated from the liver of rats revealed that flux from injected pyruvate through pyruvate dehydrogenase was dominant under fed conditions whereas flux through pyruvate carboxylase dominated under fasted conditions. The NMR signal of HP [(13)C]bicarbonate does not parallel pyruvate carboxylase activity followed by subsequent decarboxylation reaction leading to glucose production. In the liver of healthy well-fed rats, the appearance of HP [(13)C]bicarbonate exclusively reflects decarboxylation of HP [1-(13)C]pyruvate via pyruvate dehydrogenase.

Flux through hepatic pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase detected by hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance.

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 diagno...

In Vivo Monitoring of Rat Spinal Cord Metabolism Using Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 MR Spectroscopic Imaging.

This study demonstrated the feasibility of using hyperpolarized 13C-MR spectroscopic imaging with [1-13C]-pyruvate to evaluate in vivo spinal cord metabolism. High pyruvate and relatively small lactate signal were observed in the cervical spinal cords of naive rats. Lactate and pyruvate measures were similar for spinal cord and supratentorial brain. The results from this study establish baselin...

Assessing ischemic myocardial metabolism in vivo with hyperpolarized 13C: relating the metabolic perturbation to the area at risk

Background The high metabolic activity of the heart makes it particularly suited to the use of hyperpolarized (HP) 13C methods to non-invasively detect and characterize metabolic changes that occur during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Energy metabolism in ischemic rat hearts has been previously interrogated with HP 13C-labelled pyruvate ex vivo, and its hyperpolarized metabolites have been imaged...

Hyperpolarized 13C Metabolic MRI of the Human Heart

RATIONALE Altered cardiac energetics is known to play an important role in the progression toward heart failure. A noninvasive method for imaging metabolic markers that could be used in longitudinal studies would be useful for understanding therapeutic approaches that target metabolism. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the first hyperpolarized 13C metabolic magnetic resonance imaging of the human hea...

In Vivo Hyperpolarized 13C-MRS of Ethanol-Modulated Pyruvate Metabolism in the Rat

Introduction: This work demonstrates the application of in vivo MRS of hyperpolarized [1-C]pyruvate to interrogate a metabolic pathway involved in neither glycolysis nor the Krebs cycle. In particular, ethanol is metabolized in the liver via the breakdown of ethanol to acetaldehyde and acetaldehyde to acetate. These reactions are catalyzed by the enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetalde...
