    La mĂ©tabolomique par spectroscopie RMN HRMAS permet de travailler directement sur des tissus biologiques hĂ©tĂ©rogĂšnes intacts ; elle identifie et quantifie de nombreux mĂ©tabolites avec une excellente sensibilitĂ©. Nous l’avons utilisĂ©e pour Ă©tudier l’hĂ©tĂ©rogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© du mĂ©tabolisme des gliomes et Ă©tablir un lien avec la biologie molĂ©culaire et le pronostic. DiffĂ©rents biomarqueurs pronostiques ont ainsi Ă©tĂ© identifiĂ©s. Ces biomarqueurs montrent les voies mĂ©taboliques privilĂ©giĂ©es utilisĂ©es par les gliomes et pourront devenir de nouvelles cibles thĂ©rapeutiques. Par ailleurs, nous avons mis au point des outils d’analyse des voies mĂ©taboliques en utilisant des sondes molĂ©culaires marquĂ©es au 13C sur cultures cellulaires et modĂšles de xĂ©nogreffe dans la perspective d’une application chez l’Homme.Metabolomics by HRMAS NMR spectroscopy allows working directly on intact heterogeneous biological tissues; it identifies and quantifies many metabolites with an excellent sensitivity. We have used this method to study the heterogeneity of glioma metabolism and related it to molecular biology and tumoral prognosis. Different prognostic biomarkers have thus been identified. These biomarkers show the preferred metabolic pathways used by gliomas and may become new therapeutic targets. In addition, we have developed tools for the analysis of metabolic pathways using 13C-labelled molecular probes on cell cultures and xenograft models with a view to their application in medicine

    Background The heterogeneous nature of glioma makes it difficult to select a target for stereotactic biopsy that will be representative of grade severity on non-contrast-enhanced lesion imaging. The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefit of fusion of metabolic images (PET 18F-DOPA) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) morphological images for cerebral biopsy under stereotactic conditions of glioma without contrast enhancement. Patients and methods This single-center prospective observational study conducted between January 2016 and April 2018 included 20 consecutive patients (mean age: 45 ± 19.5 years; range, 9–80 years) who underwent cerebral biopsy for a tumor without MRI enhancement but with hypermetabolism on 18F-FDOPA PET (positron emission tomography). Standard 18F-FDOPA uptake value (SUVmax) was determined for diagnosis of high-grade glioma, with comparison to histomolecular results. Results Histological diagnosis was made in all patients (100%). Samples from hypermetabolism areas revealed high-grade glial tumor in 16 patients (80%). For a SUVmax threshold of 1.75, sensitivity was 81.2%, specificity 50%, PPV 86.7% and VPN 40% for diagnosis of high-grade glioma. No significant association between SUVmax and histomolecular mutation was found. Conclusion 18F-FDOPA metabolic imaging is an aid in choosing the target to be biopsied under stereotactic conditions in tumors without MR enhancement. Nevertheless, despite good sensitivity, 18F-FDOPA PET is insufficient for definitive diagnosis of high-grade tumor
