Tracking Hyperpolarized [1-¹³C] Pyruvate and [1-¹³C] L-Lactate Metabolism in the Healthy and Post-Stroke Mouse Brain

Rolf Gruetter, Bernard Lanz, Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, Jean-Noël Hyacinthe, Mario Gaetano Lepore, Thanh Phong Kevin Lê, Lara Buscemi Estefanell, Elise Marie Catherine Vinckenbosch

Tracking hyperpolarized (HP) ¹³C labeling from either [1-¹³C] pyruvate or [1-¹³C] lactate is a useful tool to assess intermediary metabolism in vivo, which has already been translated from preclinical to clinical research. HP [1-¹³C] pyruvate and [1-¹³C] l ...

129Xe Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Demystified: The Influence of the Glassing Matrix on the Radical Properties

Rolf Gruetter, Andrea Capozzi, Jean-Noël Hyacinthe, Thanh Phong Kevin Lê, Emma Linnea Wiström

129Xe dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is a controversial topic. The gold standard technique for hyperpolarized xenon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is spin exchange optical pumping, which received FDA approval in 2022. Nevertheless, the ve ...

Diffusion-weighted SPECIAL improves the detection of J-coupled metabolites at ultrahigh magnetic field

Rolf Gruetter, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Bernard Lanz, Jessie Julie Mosso, Dunja Simicic

PurposeTo improve the detection and subsequent estimation of the diffusion properties of strongly J-coupled metabolites in diffusion-weighted MRS (DWS).MethodsA new sequence for single-voxel diffusion-weighted 1H MR spectroscopy, named DW-SPECIAL, is propo ...

Hyperpolarized (1-13C)Alaninamide Is a Multifunctional In Vivo Sensor of Aminopeptidase N Activity, pH, and CO2

Rolf Gruetter, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli

Spin hyperpolarization enables real-time metabolic imaging of carbon-13-labeled substrates. While hyperpolarized L- (1-13C)alaninamide is a probe of the cell-surface tumor marker aminopeptidase-N (APN, CD13), its activity in vivo has not been described. Sc ...

Segmenting electroencephalography wires reduces radiofrequency shielding artifacts in simultaneous electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging at 7 T

Rolf Gruetter, Thanh Phong Kevin Lê, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Özlem Ipek

Purpose: Simultaneous scalp electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI) enable noninvasive assessment of brain function with high spatial and temporal resolution. However, at ultra-high field, the data quality of both modali ...

Deletion of Crtc1 leads to hippocampal neuroenergetic impairments associated with depressive-like behavior

Rolf Gruetter, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Bernard Lanz, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Antoine Timothée Cherix

Mood disorders (MD) are a major burden on society as their biology remains poorly understood, challenging both diagnosis and therapy. Among many observed biological dysfunctions, homeostatic dysregulation, such as metabolic syndrome (MeS), shows considerab ...

Central nervous system and systemic oxidative stress interplay with inflammation in a bile duct ligation rat model of type C hepatic encephalopathy

Rolf Gruetter, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Katarzyna Pierzchala, Dunja Simicic, Stefanita-Octavian Mitrea

The role and coexistence of oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation in type C hepatic encephalopathy (C HE) is a subject of intense debate. Under normal conditions the physiological levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species are controlled by the count ...

[13C]bicarbonate labelled from hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate is an in vivo marker of hepatic gluconeogenesis in fasted state

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Emine Can

Hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate enables direct in vivo assessment of real-time liver enzymatic activities by 13C magnetic resonance. However, the technique usually requires the injection of a highly supraphysiological dose of pyruvate. We herein demonstrate ...

Radical-free hyperpolarized MRI using endogenously occurring pyruvate analogues and UV-induced nonpersistent radicals

Rolf Gruetter, Andrea Capozzi, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli, Claudia Christina Zanella, Lionel Pierre Arn

It was recently demonstrated that nonpersistent radicals can be generated in frozen solutions of metabolites such as pyruvate by irradiation with UV light, enabling radical-free dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization. Although pyruvate is endogenous, the ...
