AbstractThe kidney plays a major role in maintaining body pH homeostasis. Renal pH, in particular, changes immediately following injuries such as intoxication and ischemia, making pH an early biomarker for kidney injury before the symptom onset and complementary to well-established laboratory tests. Because of this, it is imperative to develop minimally invasive renal pH imaging exams and test pH as a new diagnostic biomarker in animal models of kidney injury before clinical translation. Briefly, iodinated contrast agents approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for computed tomography (CT) have demonstrated promise as novel chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI agents for pH-sensitive imaging. The generalized ratiometric iopamidol CEST MRI analysis enables concentration-independent pH measurement, which simplifies in vivo renal pH mapping. This chapter describes quantitative CEST MRI analysis for preclinical renal pH mapping, and their application in rodents, including normal conditions and acute kidney injury.This publication is based upon work from the COST Action PARENCHIMA, a community-driven network funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) program of the European Union, which aims to improve the reproducibility and standardization of renal MRI biomarkers. This analysis protocol chapter is complemented by two separate chapters describing the basic concepts and experimental procedure.

Using [14C]dimethyloxazolidinedione ([14C]-DMO) and quantitative autoradiography, we estimated tissue pH (pHt) and intracellular pH (pHi) in nine regions of the normal rat brain and in intracerebrally implanted RG-2 gliomas. Calculations of regional pHt, based on equilibrium tissue and arterial plasma [14C]DMO concentration, ranged from 6.83 to 6.94; pHi, calculated assuming an extracellular water volume of 0.15 ml/g for gray matter and 0.11 ml/g for white matter, ranged from 6.61 to 6.78. No consistent difference was found in pH, or pHi between white and gray matter regions. Tumor tissue water content was determined by drying to constant weight, and extracellular space water volume ( Ve) was estimated with [14C]sucrose in nephrectomized rats using quantitative autoradiography. Tumor pHt ranged from 7.08 to 7.18. For Ve = 0.17 (measured), pHi was 6.94–7.06; for Ve = 0.30 (assumed), the corresponding range for pHi was 6.63–6.90. Thus, the RG-2 glioma is not more “acidic” than adjacent brain tissue and its “alkaline” pHt probably reflects a large extracellular water content and plasma-like extracellular pH.
