الوصف: Acidification of cancerous tissue induced pharmacologically may slow tumor growth and can be detected using magnetic resonance imaging. Numerous studies have shown that pharmacologically inhibiting specific transporters, such as the Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1), can alter glycolitic metabolism and affect tumor acidosis. The sodium proton exchanger inhibitor Cariporide can acidify U87MG gliomas in mice. This study aimed to determine whether Cariporide could acidify C6 glioma tumors in rats with an intact immune system. C6 glioma cells were implanted in the right brain hemisphere of ten rats. Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI (9.4T) was acquired on days 7–8 and 14–15 after implantation to measure in vivo tissue intracellular pH (pHi) within the tumors and on the contralateral side. pHi was basic relative to contralateral tissue at both time points assessed using the amine and amide concentration-independent detection (AACID) value. On day 14–15, measurements were made before and up to 160 min after Cariporide injection (N = 6). Twenty minutes after drug injection, the average AACID value in the tumor significantly increased by ∼6.4% compared to pre-injection, corresponding to 0.31 ± 0.20 lower pHi, while in contralateral tissue, AACID value increased significantly by ∼4.3% compared to pre-injection, corresponding to 0.22 ± 0.19 lower pHi. Control rats without tumors showed no changes following injection of Cariporide dissolved in 10% or 1% DMSO and diluted in PBS. This study demonstrates the sensitivity of CEST-based pH-weighted imaging for monitoring the response of tumors to pharmacologically induced acidification.
