Recent studies show that 13 C MRSI of hyperpolarized (HP) pyruvate can serve as an indicator of response to Temozolomide in primary glioblastoma. However, this imaging method had never been applied to mutant IDH1 gliomas, in which LDH-A is silenced. Here, we show that, in contrast to glioblastoma, mutant IDH1 oligodendrogliomas or oligoastrocytomas cells and tumors do not produce a significant amount of HP lactate, making these tumors virtually invisible by HP 13 C MRSI. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TMZ treatment does not affect HP lactate levels in oligodendrogliomas or oligoastrocytomas, highlighting the need for new biomarkers specific to these tumor types.
