We examined the rate of glucose utilization and the rate of valine incorporation into proteins using 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose and L-[1-14C]-valine in a rat brain tumor model by quantitative double-tracer autoradiography. We found that in the implanted tumor the rate of valine incorporation into proteins was about 22 times and the rate of glucose utilization was about 1.5 times that in the contralateral cortex. (In the ipsilateral cortex, the tumor had a profound effect on glucose utilization but no effect on the rate of valine incorporation into proteins.) Our findings suggest that it is more useful to measure protein synthesis than glucose utilization to assess the effectiveness of antitumor agents and their toxicity to normal brain tissue. We compared two methods to estimate the rate of valine incorporation: “kinetic” (quantitation done using an operational equation and the average brain rate coefficients) and “washed slices” (unbound labeled valine removed by washing brain slices in 10% thrichloroacetic acid). The results were the same using either method. It would seem that the kinetic method can thus be used for quantitative measurement of protein synthesis in brain tumors and normal brain tissue using [11C]-valine with positron emission tomography.

✓ The role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP's) and their inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), in human brain tumor invasion was investigated. Gelatinolytic activity was assayed via gelatin zymography, and four MMP's (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9) and TIMP-1 were immunolocalized in human brain tumors and in normal brain tissues using monoclonal antibodies. The tissue was surgically removed from 44 patients: glioblastoma (five cases), anaplastic astrocytoma (six cases), astrocytoma (four cases), metastatic tumor (six cases), neurinoma (10 cases), meningioma (10 cases), and normal brain tissue (three cases). Glioblastomas, anaplastic astrocytomas, and metastatic tumors showed high gelatinolytic activity and positive immunostaining for MMP's; TIMP-1 was also expressed in these tumors, but some tumor cells were negative for the antibody. Astrocytomas had low gelatinolytic activity and the tumor cells showed no immunoreactivity for MMP's and TIMP-1. Although neurinomas and meningiomas had only moderate proteinase activity and exhibited positive immunoreactivity for MMP-9, intense expression of TIMP-1 was simultaneously observed in these tumor cells. These findings suggest that MMP's play an important role in human brain tumor invasion, probably due to an imbalance between the production of MMP's and TIMP-1 by the tumor cells.
