HDAC inhibition in glioblastoma monitored by hyperpolarized 13 C MRSI.

ABSTRACT: Vorinostat is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in solid tumors, and is in clinical trials for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM). The goal of this study was to assess whether hyperpolarized 13 C MRS and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) can detect HDAC inhibition in GBM models. First, we confirmed HDAC inhibition in U87 GBM cells and evaluated real-time dynamic metabolic changes using a bioreactor system with live vorinostat-treated or control cells. We found a significant 40% decrease in the 13 C MRS-detectable ratio of hyperpolarized [1-13 C]lactate to hyperpolarized [1-13 C]pyruvate, [1-13 C]Lac/Pyr, and a 37% decrease in the pseudo-rate constant, kPL , for hyperpolarized [1-13 C]lactate production, in vorinosta
