To determine if a no-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (NCKD) and lactate transporter inhibition can exert a synergistic effect on delaying prostate tumour growth in a xenograft mouse model of human prostate cancer. 120 nude athymic male mice (aged 6–8 weeks) were injected s.c. in the flank with 1.0 x 105 LAPC-4 prostate cancer cells. Mice were randomized to one of four treatment groups: Western diet (WD, 35% fat, 16% protein, 49% carbohydrate) and vehicle (Veh) treatment; WD and mono-carboxylate transporter-1 (MCT1) inhibition via α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate (CHC) delivered through a mini osmotic pump; NCKD (84% fat, 16% protein, 0% carbohydrate) plus Veh ; or NCKD and MCT1 inhibition. Mice were fed and weighed three times per week and feed was adjusted to maintain similar body weights. Tumour size was measured twice weekly and the combined effect of treatment was tested via Kruskal – Wallis analysis of all four groups. Independent effects of treatment (NCKD vs. WD and CHC vs. Veh) on tumour volume were tested using linear regression analysis. All mice were killed on Day 53 (conclusion of pump ejection), and serum and tumour sections were analysed for various markers. Again, combined and independent effects of treatment were tested using Kruskal – Wallis and linear regression analysis, respectively. There were no significant differences in tumour volumes among the four groups (P=0.09). When testing the independent effects of treatment, NCKD was significantly associated with lower tumour volumes at the end of the experiment (P=0.026), while CHC administration was not (P=0.981). However, CHC was associated with increased necrotic fraction (P<0.001). Differences in tumour volumes were observed only in comparisons between mice fed a NCKD and mice fed a WD. MCT1 inhibition did not have a significant effect on tumour volume, although it was associated with increased necrotic fraction.
