Mutations in Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1) have been
reported in over 70% of low-grade gliomas and secondary
glioblastomas (GBM) and they are associated with the
accumulation of the oncometabolite 2-HG within the
tumor. Despite these observations, the metabolic fluxes
associated with 2-HG production are not fully
understood. This study demonstrates using 13C MRS in
combination 13C-labeled glucose and glutamine that
glucose does not contribute significantly to 2-HG
production and that glutamine is the main source of 2-HG
in our U87 GBM mutant IDH1 cells.
