Elevated tissue sodium concentration in malignant breast lesions detected with non-invasive 23Na MRI

Abstract: Elevated TSC in breast lesions measured by non-invasive (23)Na MRI appears to be a cellular-level indicator associated with malignancy. This method may have potential to improve the specificity of breast MRI with only a modest increase in scan time per patient.

“…It is also of note that elevated NHE1 activity contributes of sodium loading of cells. Elevated sodium loading by NHE1 and other sodium loading proteins such as sodium channels and Na + /HCO3 -co-transport, may promote mitogenesis and/or oncognesis [26][27][28][29][30] and elevated tissue sodium is reported in malignant breast cancer [31] and other cancer types [32,33]. Thus elevated NHE1 activity may contribute to oncogenesis by more than one mechanism.…”

“…To quantify the TSC (combined intracellular and extracellular 23 Na) in the rat brain, the approach of Ouwerkerk et al was adapted (19). In addition to scanning the rat head, a separate scan was acquired of a homogeneous reference phantom of diameter 40 mm containing 120 mM NaCl dissolved in distilled water and suspended in a 1% agarose gel.…”

“…The potential diagnostic benefits of 23 Na-MR imaging have recently been demonstrated for common pathological conditions such as tumor [5,6], stroke [7][8][9], Alzheimer disease [10], paramyotonia [11], arthritis [12], multiple sclerosis [13] and functional renal imaging [14] in humans. In addition, pre-clinical in vivo 23 Na MRI enables one to temporally follow pathological progression in animal models of common human disease [14][15][16].…”
