Synopsis

DNP highly improves the sensitivity of magnetic resonance spectroscopy allowing for greater insight into in vivo metabolic activity. We used our dissolution ¹³C DNP system to monitor the Warburg effect in MIA PaCa human pancreatic carcinoma model mice subjected to radiotherapy or chemotherapy. In vivo production of ¹³C lactate in tumors showed a significant reduction after radiation therapy. Mice subjected to anticancer drugs also showed a significant reduction in the relative production of ¹³C lactate at an early stage of the treatment course before any anatomical changes in the structure or size of the tumors were detectable by MRI images.
