简要总结
The purpose of this project is to validate a new combined MRI and PET imaging technique as a biomarker or measure of glycolysis in brain tumors. To accomplish this, the investigators propose obtaining image-guided measures of tissue pH and biopsied tissue in tumor areas selected for bulk resection surgery. Investigators will then correlate the imaging measurements with pH, RNA expression, protein expression, and bioenergetics measurements of key glycolytic enzymes.
详细描述
Patients who are scheduled for resection of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) as part of standard care will be invited to take part in the study. All patients will undergo FDG-PET scan for the study using standard clinical imaging techniques, along with standard brain MRI plus up to approximately 15 minutes of investigational MR imaging sequences to permit calculation of "glycolytic index" as an experimental GBM imaging biomarker. Prior to bulk tumor resection at the patient's scheduled surgery, pH measurements, using the SoftCell pH probe, will be taken from approximately 3 anatomic sites that have been correlated with the imaging glycolytic index calculation. Following pH measurements, the patient's clinical biopsy/tumor resection will take place as planned for clinical care. Tissue samples resected during the clinical procedure will be obtained and processed using immunohistochemistry techniques for further assessments, including RNA sequencing and bioenergetics analysis.
The current study will investigate the central hypothesis that biopsied tumor tissue undergoing high levels of glycolysis via RNA expression, protein expression, and bioenergetics analyses can be reliably detected, correlates with direct measure of tissue pH, and is strongly associated with a "glycolytic index" created by combining 18F-FDG PET, amine CEST-SAGE-EPI, perfusion MRI and diffusion MRI. In addition, the investigators will investigate whether metabolic differences identified from this imaging modality may identify infiltrating non-enhancing tumor cells.

结局指标
主要结局
Immunohistochemistry Expression of Glycolytic Molecules
时间窗: two years
MCT expression will be quantified within biopsy samples based on immunohistochemistry stain density of percentage positive cells
Glycolytic Index
时间窗: two years
The Glycolytic Index (GI), ranging from 0 to \~1, will be quantified using a combination of FDG PET and MRI measurements. GI is defined as elevated glucose uptake (18F-FDG standard uptake with respect to lean body mass, SUL), elevated tumor acidity (MTRasym @ 3ppm or MTRRex), and lower oxygen utilization (relative cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen, rCMRO2, defined as R2' x rCBF/rCBV from oxygen-sensitive SAGE-EPI and DSC perfusion), normalized to cell density (using ADC from diffusion MRI, which is inversely proportional to cell density). Average GI within the biopsy area prior to biopsy will be correlated with MCT expression within the sample based on immunohistochemistry stain density of percentage positive cells as the 1st primary outcome measure."
