Proton NMR spectra of LnCAP cell extracts treated either with DMSO or 1uM MK2206 for 24 hr. Co-factor concentrations were quantified as a ratio between the resonance for the lone hydrogen atom on the five membered ring of the adenine moiety in NAD+ that resonates at 8.435 ppm and NADH at 8.486 ppm. Extractions of cells were performed as described in the materials section.

ARTICLE ABSTRACT

The PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM) signaling pathway is frequently mutated in prostate cancer. Specific AKT inhibitors are now in advanced clinical trials, and this study investigates the effect of MK2206, a non–ATP-competitive inhibitor, on the cellular metabolism of prostate cancer cells. We observed a reduction in cell motility and aerobic glycolysis in prostate cancer cells with treatment. These changes were not accompanied by a reduction in the ratio of high-energy phosphates or a change in total protein levels of enzymes and transporters involved in glycolysis. However, a decreased ratio of NAD+/NADH was observed, motivating the use of hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HP-MRS) to detect treatment response. Spectroscopic experiments were performed on tumor spheroids, 3D structures that self-organize in the presence of an extracellular matrix. Treated spheroids showed decreased lactate production with on-target inhibition confirmed using IHC, demonstrating that HP-MRS can be used to probe treatment response in prostate cancer spheroids and can provide a biomarker for treatment response.
