Abstract

(1) Background: The acidosis of the tumor micro-environment may have profound impact on cancer progression and on the efficacy of treatments. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of a treatment with UK-5099, a mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) inhibitor on tumor extracellular pH (pHe); (2) Methods: glucose consumption, lactate secretion and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) were measured in vitro after exposure of cervix cancer SiHa cells and breast cancer 4T1 cells to UK-5099 (10 µM). Mice bearing the 4T1 tumor model were treated daily during four days with UK-5099 (3 mg/kg). The pHe was evaluated in vivo using either chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST)-MRI with iopamidol as pHe reporter probe or P-NMR spectroscopy with 3-aminopropylphosphonate (3-APP). MR protocols were applied before and after 4 days of treatment; (3) Results: glucose consumption, lactate release and ECAR were increased in both cell lines after UK-5099 exposure. CEST-MRI showed a significant decrease in tumor pHe of 0.22 units in UK-5099-treated mice while there was no change over time for mice treated with the vehicle. Parametric images showed a large heterogeneity in response with 16% of voxels shifting to pHe values under 7.0. In contrast, P-NMR spectroscopy was unable to detect any significant variation in pHe; (4) Conclusions: MPC inhibition led to a moderate acidification of the extracellular medium in vivo. CEST-MRI provided high resolution parametric images (0.44 µL/voxel) of pHe highlighting the heterogeneity of response within the tumor when exposed to UK-5099.

摘要

(1) 背景:肿瘤微环境的酸中毒可能对癌症进展和治疗效果产生深远影响。在本研究中,我们评估了线粒体丙酮酸载体(MPC)抑制剂UK-5099对肿瘤细胞外pH值(pHe)的影响;(2) 方法:将宫颈癌SiHa细胞和乳腺癌4T1细胞暴露于UK-5099(10 μM)后,在体外测量葡萄糖消耗、乳酸分泌和细胞外酸化率(ECAR)。对携带4T1肿瘤模型的小鼠连续四天每日给予UK-5099(3 mg/kg)治疗。使用以碘帕醇作为pHe报告探针的化学交换饱和转移(CEST)-MRI或使用3-氨基丙基膦酸(3-APP)的磷核磁共振波谱在体内评估pHe。在治疗4天前后应用磁共振成像方案;(3) 结果:UK-5099处理后,两种细胞系中的葡萄糖消耗、乳酸释放和ECAR均增加。CEST-MRI显示,UK-5099处理的小鼠肿瘤pHe显著降低0.22个单位,而给予赋形剂处理的小鼠pHe随时间无变化。参数图像显示反应存在很大异质性,16%的体素pHe值降至7.0以下。相比之下,磷核磁共振波谱无法检测到pHe的任何显著变化;(4) 结论:MPC抑制导致体内细胞外介质中度酸化。CEST-MRI提供了高分辨率的pHe参数图像(0.44 μL/体素),突出了肿瘤在暴露于UK-5099时反应的异质性。
