Developing a metabolic clearance rate framework as a translational analysis approach for hyperpolarized ¹³C magnetic resonance imaging.

ABSTRACT: Hyperpolarized carbon-13 magnetic resonance imaging is a promising technique for in vivo metabolic interrogation of alterations between health and disease. This study introduces a formalism for quantifying the metabolic information in hyperpolarized imaging. This study investigated a novel perfusion formalism and metabolic clearance rate (MCR) model in pre-clinical stroke and in the healthy human brain. Simulations showed that the proposed model was robust to perturbations in T₁, transmit B₁, and k_PL. A significant difference in ipsilateral vs contralateral pyruvate derived cerebral blood flow (CBF) was detected in rats (140 ± 2 vs 89 ± 6 mL/100 g/min, p < 0.01, respectively) and pigs (139 ± 12 vs 95 ± 5 mL/100 g/min, p = 0.04, respectively), along with an increase in fractional metabolism (26 ± 5 vs 4 ± 2%, p < 0.01, respectively) in the rodent brain. In addition, a significant increase in ipsilateral vs contralateral MCR (0.034 ± 0.007 vs 0.017 ± 0.02/s, p = 0.03, respectively) and a decrease in mean transit time (31 ± 8 vs 60 ± 2 s, p = 0.04, respectively) was observed in the porcine brain. In conclusion, MCR mapping is a simple and robust approach to the post-processing of hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging.

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.
