Several currently available drugs with clinical relevance to GBM affect pyruvate metabolism. In this study, we show that 13 C MRS of hyperpolarized [1- 13 C] pyruvate can also be used to evaluate response to the previously unexplored drug SAHA in glioblastoma cells. In GBM14 SAHA-sensitive cells, a drop in hyperpolarized [1- 13 C] pyruvate to [1- 13 C] lactate conversion was observed after SAHA treatment, while it remained unchanged in SAHA-resistant cells. Furthermore, hyperpolarized [1- 13 C] lactate levels were significantly different between sensitive and resistant cells both pre- and post-treatment, indicating that this metabolic imaging technique might also have prognostic value.
