This study investigated the role that mutant IDH1-driven
metabolic reprogramming plays in tumorigenesis. We
investigated hyperpolarized 5-13C-glutamate production
from hyperpolarized 2-13C-pyruvate in mutant and
wild-type cells and found that glutamate production was
significantly reduced in mutant cells, associated with a
drop in PDH activity. Treatment with dichloroacetate, a
PDH agonist, significantly increased HP 5-13C-glutamate
production with an accompanying decrease in
clonogenicity. Our results indicate that HP
5-13C-glutamate can serve as a metabolic imaging
biomarker of PDH down-regulation in IDH1 mutant glioma
cells.
