Phosphatidate and oxidized fatty acids are calcium ionophores. Studies employing arsenazo III in liposomes.
Liposomes which have entrapped the metallochromic dye, arsenazo III, constitute a sensitive assay system for ionophoresis of divalent cations. By this means we have compared known calcium ionophores (A23187, ionomycin) with membrane phospholipids, fatty acids, prostanoids, and retinoids. Added at micromolar concentrations to preformed multilamellar liposomes (phosphatidylcholine 7:dicetyl phosp...
متن کاملMembrane fusion: studies with a calcium-sensitive dye, arsenazo III, in liposomes.
Fusion between vesicles, cells, or organelles may be defined as confluence of two membrane-bound compartments without access of their solutes to external milieu. To study fusion by this criterion, we have trapped the metallochromic calcium-sensitive dye, arsenazo III (AIII), partially calcium-saturated (AIII-Ca) in one population of liposomes (phoshatidylcholine 90:dicetylphosphate 10), and eth...
متن کاملGlucuronidation of oxidized fatty acids and prostaglandins
Arachidonic acid (AA) can be metabolized to various metabolites, which can act as mediators of cellular processes. The objective of this work was to identify whether AA, prostaglandin (PG) B 1 and E 2 , and 15and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (15and 20-HETE) are metabolized via glucuronidation. Assays with human recombinant UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A (UGT1A) isoforms revealed that AA and...
متن کاملArsenazo III and antipyrylazo III calcium transients in single skeletal muscle fibers
The metallochrome calcium indicators arsenazo III and antipyrylazo III have been introduced individually into cut single frog skeletal muscle fibers from which calcium transients have been elicited either by action potential stimulation or by voltage-clamp pulses of up to 50 ms in duration. Calcium transients recorded with both dyes at selected wavelengths have similar characteristics when elic...
متن کاملLipidomics of oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids
Lipid mediators are produced from the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids through enzymatic and free radical-mediated reactions. When subject to oxygenation via cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, polyunsaturated fatty acids give rise to an array of metabolites including eicosanoids, docosanoids, and octadecanoids. These potent bioactive lipids are involved ...
