چکیده

Phospholipid fatty acid composition and phospholipid subclass distribution of control and arachidonate-depleted rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) were compared. The 20:4-depleted PMN contained significantly higher amounts of 16:1, 18:1 and 20:3 (delta 5,8,11) and lower amounts of 18:2 and 20:4 than the phospholipids from control cells. Choline-containing glycerophospholipids (CGP) were the major phospholipids of both control and 20:4-depleted cells representing 34% and 37% of the total phospholipids, respectively. Significant amounts of ethanolamine-containing glycerophospholipids (EGP) (29% and 30%) and sphingolipids (20% and 18%) were also present in both cell types. Serine-containing glycerophospholipids (SGP) together with inositol-containing glycerophospholipids (IGP) constituted 16% and 13% of the phospholipids in control and 20:4-depleted cells, respectively. CGP from control cells had significantly higher amounts of 16:0 and 18:2 and lower amounts of 18:0 and 20:4 than EGP, whereas CGP from 20:4-depleted cells has higher amounts of 16:0 and 16:1 and lower amounts of 20:3 than EGP. Analysis of the subclass composition of CGP and EGP revealed that both control and 20:4-depleted cells contained significantly large amounts of alkylacyl-GPC and alkenylacyl-GPE. Small amounts of alkylacyl-GPE and alkenylacyl-GPC were also observed. The predominant fatty acyl residues found in the 1,2-diacyl-GPC, alkylacyl-GPC of control cells were 16:0, 18:0, 18:1, 18:2, and 20:4, while those of 20:4-depleted cells were 16:0, 16:1, 18:0, 18:1, and 20:3. More than 60% of CGP-bound 20:4 of control cells and about 70% of the CGP-bound 20:3 of 20:4-depleted cells were found in their alkylacyl species.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Arachidonyl transfer from diacyl phosphatidylcholine to ether phospholipids in rat platelets.

High levels of ether phospholipids were found in rat platelets. Alkylacyl compounds constituted 18 and 29% of glycerophosphocholine (GPC) and glycerophosphoethanolamine (GPE). Alkenylacyl compounds, not detected in GPC, represented 40% of GPE. Arachidonate comprised 60%, 42% and 26% of the acyl residues in the sn-2 position of alkenylacyl-GPE, alkylacyl-GPE and alkylacyl-GPC respectively. Based...

arachidonate decreased in diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoinositol, in alkylacyl- and diacyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine and increased in alkenylacyl- and diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine. Upon challenge with Ca2+ ionophore A23187, arachidonate decreased in diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, in diacyl- and alkylacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and increased in alkenylacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine

Platelet stimulation by thrombin or Ca2+ ionophore induces mobilization of arachidonate from lipid stores. We have previously shown that, in [14C]arachidonic acid-prelabelled resting platelets, [14C]arachidonate was transferred from diacyl-sn-glycerophosphocholine to ethanolamine and choline-containing ether phospholipids. This transfer reached an equilibrium after 5 h incubation [Colard, Breto...

Arachidonate cannot be released directly from diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in thrombin-stimulated platelets.

The origin of the arachidonate released from platelets on stimulation with thrombin was investigated by comparing the specific activities of released arachidonate and of arachidonoyl-containing phospholipids using rat platelets prelabelled with arachidonate. Quantification of the released arachidonate was determined in the presence of BW 755 C, a dual cyclo-oxygenase/lipoxygenase inhibitor, whi...

Polyphosphoinositides are derived from ether-linked inositol glycerophospholipids in rat brain.

Membrane inositol glycerophospholipid (IGP) is metabolized to phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP), phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2), and inositol triphosphate (IP3) in signaling transduction. This study was carried out to determine the subclasses of IGP involved in signaling pathway. The acyl chain moieties of the phospholipids are easily modulated by dietary fatty acids. We ana...

Different metabolic rates for arachidonoyl molecular species of ethanolamine glycerophospholipids in rat brain.

The ethanolamine glycerophospholipids (EGP) contain most of the arachidonate (20:4, n-6) and adrenate (22:4, n-6), potential precursors of biologically potent prostaglandins and related compounds. Much better methods utilizing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques are now available for the study of the molecular species of all three classes, namely diacyl, alkenylacyl (plasma...
