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.
