NMR spectroscopy (MRS) of cells and tissues provides a quantitative insight into cellular composition and metabolism. A common approach is MRS of cell extracts, which can be used to distinguish e.g. different neural cell types [1]. MRS of living cells more closely resembles the in vivo situation, but is restricted due to unphysiological conditions in a NMR tube. Therefore, we are realizing a cell perfusion setup for a Bruker Avance 800 MHz spectrometer equipped with a 5 mm cryo probe. Immobilized cells can then be perfused with variably composed media saturated with a tunable gas mixture of N2, O2, and CO2. Highly-resolved 1H-NMR spectra (FWHM < 3 Hz) can be acquired with a temporal resolution < 5 min. Based on our former investigations on stem cell-specific biomarkers of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) [2], MRS of NPCs under controllable cell culture conditions will be the next step towards a metabolic profiling and biomarker screening of neurogenesis, leading to both a better understanding of stem cell metabolism and to a possible detection of neurogenesis in humans.
