The aim of the current study was to evaluate whether the
changes in ATP levels after lonidamine (LND)
administration in DB-1 melanoma xenografts correlated
with changes in tumor i, a measure of mean lifetime of
intracellular water protons using the Shutter Speed
Model (SSM) in addition to Ktrans and ve. LND is a small
molecule that inhibits the monocarboxylate transporter-1
(MCT-1) that reduces tumor pH and bioenergetics. We
observed a significant decrease in Ktrans but increase
in i following LND administration, which is associated
with a change in cell size and membrane permeability or
ion transport. Changes in Ktrans and i might serve as
surrogate biomarkers, indicating that DCE-MRI not only
measures tissue vascular hemodynamics, but also the
transport activity and transmembrane water exchange or
cycling.
