Cancer cell metabolism is characterized by increased glucose uptake and lactate production eunder aerobic conditions. This phenomenon has been exploited to differentiate between tumor grades, using hyperpolarized (HP) [1-13C] pyruvate. The flux of pyruvate to lactate through the lactate dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH) is a function of the monocarboxylate transporters, cofators and enzyme expression and activity. In an effort to understand these factors that contribute to the HP Pyruvate/Lactate kinetics, aggressive human RCCs UMRC6 (localized) and UOK262 (metastatic) are characterized using HP 13C MR, thermal labeling with [3-13C] pyruvate and subsequent comparison to the expression of relevant transporters and LDH.
