Hyperpolarized Lithium-6 as a Sensor of Nanomolar Contrast Agents

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Sami Jannin, Chiara Perazzolo, Jacques Van Der Klink, Ruud van Heeswijk

Lithium is widely used in psychotherapy. The Li-6 isotope has a long intrinsic longitudinal relaxation time T-1 on the order of minutes, making it an ideal candidate for hyperpolarization experiments. In the present study we demonstrated that lithium-6 can ...

Imaging the time-integrated cerebral metabolic activity with subcellular resolution through nanometer-scale detection of biosynthetic products deriving from (13)C-glucose

Anders Meibom, Arnaud Comment, Graham Knott, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Yuhei Takado

Glucose is the primary source of energy for the brain but also an important source of building blocks for proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Little is known about the use of glucose for biosynthesis in tissues at the cellular level. We demonstrate that l ...

Producing Radical-Free Hyperpolarized Perfusion Agents for In Vivo Magnetic Resonance Using Spin-Labeled Thermoresponsive Hydrogel

Arnaud Comment, Tian Cheng, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky

Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) provides a way to tremendously improve the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. Once the spins are hyperpolarized by dissolution DNP, the radicals used as polarizing agents become undesirable ...

Analysis of Cancer Metabolism by Imaging Hyperpolarized Nuclei: Prospects for Translation to Clinical Research

Arnaud Comment

A major challenge in cancer biology is to monitor and understand cancer metabolism in vivo with the goal of improved diagnosis and perhaps therapy. Because of the complexity of biochemical pathways, tracer methods are required for detecting specific enzyme ...

Feasibility of in vivo N-15 MRS detection of hyperpolarized N-15 labeled choline in rats

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Sami Jannin, Ruud van Heeswijk

The increase of total choline in tumors has become an important biomarker in cancer diagnosis. Choline and choline metabolites can be measured in vivo and in vitro using multinuclear MRS. Recent in vivo C-13 MRS studies using labeled substrates enhanced vi ...

Direct Monitoring of γ-Glutamyl Transpeptidase Activity In Vivo Using a Hyperpolarized (13) C-Labeled Molecular Probe

Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Emine Can, Yuhei Takado

The γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme plays a central role in glutathione homeostasis. Direct detection of GGT activity could provide critical information for the diagnosis of several pathologies. We propose a new molecular probe, γ-Glu-[1-(13) C]Gly, ...

A method to disentangle and quantify host anabolic turnover in photosymbiotic holobionts with subcellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Arnaud Comment, Maoz Fine, Emma Mary Gibbin, Guilhem Maurice Louis Banc-Prandi

A wide range of organisms host photosynthesizing symbionts. In these animals the metabolic exchange between host and symbionts has prevented in situ host anabolic turnover to be studied without the confounding effect of translocated photosynthates. Using t ...

Magnetic properties of pure and Gd-doped EuO probed by NMR

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Arnaud Comment

An Eu NMR study in the ferromagnetic phase of pure and Gd-doped EuO was performed. A complete description of the NMR line shape of pure EuO allowed for the influence of doping EuO with Gd impurities to be highlighted. The presence of a temperature-dependen ...

Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Instrumentation for Real-time Enzymatic Reaction Rate Measurements by NMR

Arnaud Comment, Paul Romeo Vasos, Riccardo Balzan

The main limitation of NMR-based investigations is low sensitivity. This prompts for long acquisition times, thus preventing real-time NMR measurements of metabolic transformations. Hyperpolarization via dissolution DNP circumvents part of the sensitivity ...

Thermal annihilation of photo-induced radicals following dynamic nuclear polarization to produce transportable frozen hyperpolarized 13C-substrates

Tian Cheng, Arnaud Comment, Giovanni Boero, Christophe Roussel, Andrea Capozzi

Hyperpolarization via dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is pivotal for boosting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensitivity and dissolution DNP can be used to perform in vivo real-time 13C MRI. The type of applications is however limited by the relativel ...

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization by Thermal Mixing Under Partial Saturation

Arnaud Comment, Sami Jannin

We describe a low-temperature thermodynamic model for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) via continuous-wave partial saturation of electron spin resonance (ESR) lines that are both homogeneously and inhomogeneously broadened. It is a variant of a reasoning ...

LRH-1-dependent programming of mitochondrial glutamine processing drives liver cancer

Johan Auwerx, Arnaud Comment, Kristina Schoonjans, Dongryeol Ryu, Norman Lionel Moullan, Emine Can, Xu Wang, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Pan Xu, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny

Various tumors develop addiction to glutamine to support uncontrolled cell proliferation. Here we identify the nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) as a key regulator in the process of hepatic tumorigenesis through the coordination of a noncan ...
