We proved that the transcriptional activation of c-Myc expression controlled by tetracycline has a direct influence on lactate dehydrogenase-A (LDH-A) activity in B-cell line P493-6 in vitro. Using hyperpolarized [1-¹³C]pyruvate and ¹³C magnetic resonance spectroscopy we were able to monitor a reduction of pyruvate to lactate reaction catalyzed by LDH-A. Incubation of the P493-6 cells in a media with 0.1 μg/mL tetracycline for 24 hours reduced the kinetic value of the reaction by 41.8±10.5 %. This proves that the control of c-myc has a significant influence on LDH-A activity and can be measured using ¹³C magnetic resonance spectroscopy with hyperpolarized [1-¹³C]pyruvate.
