Retinyl esters are hydrolyzed in early endosomes of J774 macrophages.
The aim of the current study was to identify the subcellular compartment(s) responsible for the hydrolysis of chylomicron remnant-retinyl esters, in J774.1 cells. The cells were incubated with medium containing chylomicron remnant [(3)H]retinyl ester. Subcellular fractionation was used to separate early endosomes from late endosomes and lysosomes. About 26% and 80% of the total [(3)H]retinyl es...
متن کاملRetinol and retinyl esters: biochemistry and physiology.
By definition, a vitamin is a substance that must be obtained regularly from the diet. Vitamin A must be acquired from the diet, but unlike most vitamins, it can also be stored within the body in relatively high levels. For humans living in developed nations or animals living in present-day vivariums, stored vitamin A concentrations can become relatively high, reaching levels that can protect a...
متن کاملFluorometric determination of total retinyl esters in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.
A time-consuming sample preparation and measuring procedure is required for the quantitation of retinyl palmitate by HPLC. We developed a fluorometric method for the determination of total retinyl esters in chylomicrons, chylomicron remnants, and VLDL. This method is precise, sensitive, rapid, simple, and particularly useful for large-scale studies of postprandial lipid metabolism. Because the ...
متن کاملBaseline mechanical characterization of J774 macrophages.
Macrophage cell lines like J774 cells are ideal model systems for establishing the biophysical foundations of autonomous deformation and motility of immune cells. To aid comparative studies on these and other types of motile cells, we report measurements of the cortical tension and cytoplasmic viscosity of J774 macrophages using micropipette aspiration. Passive J774 cells cultured in suspension...
متن کاملThe fate of intracardially administered retinyl esters in the rat.
Irrespective of the form of vitamin A fed to rats, it appears in blood almost exclusively as retinyl palmitate, and the liver always stores only this ester. Differences in the fatty acid composition of the dietary fats do not seem to have any influence on the type of retinyl ester absorbed and stored by the rat (Mahadevan & Ganguly, 1961; Mahadevan, Seshadri Sastry & Ganguly, 1963). It was ther...
