Abstract

This study aimed to develop a spectroscopic imaging method to visualize superficial pH of tumor and normal tissues after injection of 5,6-carboxyfluorescein as pH marker. In vivo experiments were performed on CDF mice bearing a lymphoid leukemia P388 grafted tumor. Tissue pH were controlled by microelectrodes. Metabolic depression of tumor pH was induced by prior injection of glucose (6g/kg). Images show lower fluorescence intensity in tumor. Both fluorescence kinetic show an increase followed by a plateau phase. Calculated ratio were 1.72+/- 0.07 and 2.03+/- 0.04 in tumor and normal tissues respectively. These ratios based on a calibration curve correspond to 6.21+/- 0.12 and 6.99+/- 0.16. Controlled pH by microelectrodes show similar values (6.2+/- 0.3 and 7.0+/- 0.2 respectively). This imaging technique can be a new tool to study metabolic and functional event in tumor like the relation between pH and hypoxia.
