A transformed murine fibroblast cell line has been used to assess which criteria govern the appearance of a lipid pool that is mobile on the MR time scale. A high-resolution proton MR signal arising from neutral lipids, including triglyceride and cholesteryl esters, has previously been associated with membrane events in stimulated, transformed and malignant cells. We report that the attenuation of cellular proliferation by confluence or low pH caused significant increases in MR-visible lipid and that the lipid signal could be amplified at high density by the removal of serum. A significant decrease in chemotactic response accompanied the culture of cells at high density, but chemotactic response was not generally linked to alteration of the lipid signal. The appearance of the signal was also not correlated with the proportion of cells in any phase of the cell cycle. Significant changes in the MR-visible pools of the lipid metabolites choline, phosphocholine and glycerophosphocholine were measured under the culture conditions employed with 2D MRS and suggest that MR-visible lipid may arise from the catabolism of phospholipids.
