A method for the quantitative analysis of molecular species of 1,2-diacylglycerol acetates (1,2-DGAC) containing polyunsaturated fatty acids is described. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) isolated from frog retina was used to test the method. PE was converted to 1,2-DGAC by acetolysis. The molecular species of the 1,2-DGAC were resolved by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), detected by UV absorption spectroscopy at 210 nm, and identified by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) of the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Molar response curves were generated for each DGAC molecular species that eluted as a single entity from HPLC by determining the moles of fatty acids in the molecular species collected and the response (peak area unit) of the UV detector. Each molecular species response curve was linear from about 10 pmoles to 4-8 nmoles, allowing the slope of each curve to be used as a molar absorptivity. This method provides a means for quantification of most of the molecular species of all glycerolipid classes. 相似文献

The mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) has been implicated with mitochondrial morphology, function, and cell proliferation. Changes in CL are often paralleled by changes in the lipid environment of mitochondria that may contribute to mitochondrial function and proliferation. This study aimed to separate the effects of CL content and CL composition from cellular free fatty acid distribution on bioenergetics and proliferation in C6 glioma cells. To this end, cardiolipin synthase and the CL remodelling enzyme, tafazzin, were knocked-down by siRNA in C6 cells. After 72?h of cultivation, we analysed CL composition by means of LC/MS/MS, distribution of cellular fatty acids by means of gas chromatography, and determined oxygen consumption and proliferation. Knock-down of cardiolipin synthase affected the cellular CL content in the presence of linoleic acid (LA) in the culture medium. Knock-down of tafazzin had no consequence with respect to the pattern of cellular fatty acids but caused a decrease in cell proliferation. It significantly changed the distribution of molecular CL species, increased CL content, decreased oxygen consumption, and decreased cell proliferation when cultured in the presence of linoleic acid (LA). The addition of linoleic acid to the culture medium caused significant changes in the pattern of cellular fatty acids and the composition of molecular CL species. These data suggest that tafazzin is required for efficient bioenergetics and for proliferation of glioma cells. Supplementation of fatty acids can be a powerful tool to direct specific changes in these parameters. 相似文献

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry has previously been used to probe qualitative changes in the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL), but it has rarely been used in a quantitative manner. We assessed changes in the amount of individual molecular species of cardiac CL present in a model of congestive heart failure using 1,1',2,2'-tetramyristoyl cardiolipin as an internal standard. There was a linear relationship between the ratio of the negative molecular ion ([M-H]-) current from four different CL reference standards and the [M-H]- from the internal standard, as a function of the concentration of CL molecular species. Therefore, this internal standard can be used to quantitate many naturally occurring CL molecular species over a wide range of CL concentrations. Using this method, changes to individual molecular species of CL in failing hearts from male spontaneously hypertensive heart failure rats were examined. CL isolated from cardiac mitochondria was compared with left ventricular tissue to demonstrate the feasibility of extracting and quantitating CL from either mitochondrial or tissue samples. The acyl chain composition of individual CL molecular species was identified using tandem mass spectrometry. In animals with heart failure, the major cardiac CL species (tetralinoloyl) decreased significantly, whereas other minor CL species were significantly increased. 相似文献

On the analysis of long-chain alkane diols and glycerol ehters in biochemical studies 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The chromatographic behavior of 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-, and 1,12-long-chain alkane diols and 1-O-alkylglycerols and their derivatives has been compared. Thin-layer chromatography on Silica Gel G gives poor separations of the 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-alkane diols, O-alkylglycerols, and some of their isopropylidene derivatives. However, gas-liquid chromatography on 10% EGSS-X (coated on 100-120 mesh Gas-Chrom P) resolves the isopropylidenes of the alkane diols and O-alkylglycerols. We also document the formation of 1,3-alkane diols (after LiAlH(4) reduction) from 1-(14)C-labeled fatty acids incubated with mitochondrial fractions from heart and liver of rats. The labeled 1,3-alkane diol was identified by gas-liquid chromatography of its isopropylidene derivative and by its behavior after periodate oxidation. These results serve to caution investigators in the glycerol ether field against incorrect interpretation of data obtained on the incorporation of labeled fatty acids into alkyl ether bonds of glycerolipids. The methodology described points out a technique for distinguishing several types of alkane diols from O-alkylglycerols. 相似文献

An improved high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the separation and characterization of cardiolipin molecular species is presented. Reverse-phase ion pair chromatography with acidified triethylamine resulted in increased chromatographic retention and resolution when compared with chromatography without acidified triethylamine. Using a hybrid triple quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometer to generate MS/MS spectra revealed three regions within each spectrum that could be used to deduce the structure of the cardiolipin molecular species: the diacylglycerol phosphate region, the monoacylglycerol phosphate region, and the fatty acid region. Cardiolipin standards of known composition were analyzed and exhibited expected chromatographic and mass spectral results. Two minor components in commercial bovine heart cardiolipin, (with the same molecular weight but different chromatographic retention times), were shown to differ by fatty acid composition: (C18:2)2(C18:1)2 versus (C18:2)3(C18:0)1. These compounds were then analyzed by HPLC-MS3 to examine specific diac ylglycerol phosphate generated fatty acid fragmentation. Also, two commercial sources of bovine heart cardiolipin were shown to have minor differences in cardiolipin species content. Cardiolipin isolated from rat liver, mouse heart, and dog heart mitochondria were then characterized and the relative distributions of the major cardiolipin species were determined. 相似文献

Mitochondrial cardiolipin (CL) contains unique fatty acid patterns, but it is not known how the characteristic molecular species of CL are formed. We found a novel reaction that transfers acyl groups from phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine to CL in mitochondria of rat liver and human lymphoblasts. Acyl transfer was stimulated by ADP, ATP, and ATP gamma S, but not by other nucleotides. Coenzyme A stimulated the reaction only in the absence of adenine nucleotides. Free fatty acids were not incorporated into CL under the same incubation condition. The transacylation required addition of exogenous CL or monolyso-CL, whereas dilyso-CL was not a substrate. Transacylase activity was decreased in lymphoblasts from patients with Barth syndrome (tafazzin deletion), and this was accompanied by drastic changes in the molecular composition of CL. In rat liver, where linoleic acid was the most abundant residue of CL, only linoleoyl groups were transferred into CL, but not oleoyl or arachidonoyl groups. We demonstrated complete remodeling of tetraoleoyl-CL to tetralinoleoyl-CL in rat liver mitochondria and identified the intermediates linoleoyl-trioleoyl-CL, dilinoleoyl-dioleoyl-CL, and trilinoleoyl-oleoyl-CL by high-performance liquid chromatography. The data suggest that CL is remodeled by acyl specific phospholipid transacylation and that tafazzin is an acyltransferase involved in this mechanism. 相似文献

9-Diazomethylanthracene reacts with carboxyl groups to give an ester derivative which can be used as either a fluorescence or ultraviolet label for fatty acid analysis by high-pressure liquid chromatography. The limit of detection by ultraviolet spectroscopy was demonstrated to be approximately 150 pg/μl of the individual fatty acid esters. Fluorescence detection showed a limit of approximately 15 pg/μl. The fluorescence detector response was linear from 0.49 to 14.2 pmol/μl. Thus, derivatization of fatty acids with 9-diazomethylanthracene provides a new and very sensitive method for the quantification of picomole quantities of fatty acids by high-pressure liquid chromatographic techniques using either ultraviolet or fluorescence detection. 相似文献

Large-scale neuronal remodeling through apoptosis occurs shortly after birth in all known mammalian species. Apoptosis, in large part, depends upon critical interactions between mitochondrial membranes and cytochrome c. Herein, we examined the hypothesis that the large-scale reorganization of neuronal circuitry after birth is accompanied by profound alterations in cardiolipin (CL) content and molecular species distribution. During embryonic development, over 100 CL molecular species were identified and quantitated in murine neuronal tissues. The embryonic CL profile was notable for the presence of abundant amounts of relatively short aliphatic chains (e.g., palmitoleic and oleic acids). In sharp contrast, after birth, the CL profile contained a remarkably complex repertoire of CL molecular species, in which the signaling fatty acids (i.e., arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids) were markedly increased. These results identify the rapid remodeling of CL in the perinatal period with resultant alterations in the physical properties of the mitochondrial membrane. The complex distribution of aliphatic chains in the neuronal CL pool is separate and distinct from that in other organs (e.g., heart, liver, etc.), where CL molecular species contain predominantly only one major type of aliphatic chain (e.g., linoleic acid). Analyses of mRNA levels by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reactions suggested that the alterations in CL content were due to the combined effects of both attenuation of de novo CL biosynthesis and decreased remodeling of CL. Collectively, these results provide a new perspective on the complexity of CL in neuronal signaling, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and apoptosis. 相似文献

1. Two methods for the fractionation of phosphatidylinositol into molecular species were developed. In addition to preserving the fatty acid moiety of the molecule, the first method preserves the phosphorus, and the second preserves both the phosphorus and inositol ring. 2. In the first method, phosphatidylinositol was oxidized with periodate and the products reacted with diazomethane. I.r. examination showed that the main product was identical with dimethylphosphatidic acid. Fractionation to molecular species was carried out on thin layers impregnated with silver nitrate. The fatty acid composition of the species was determined by gas-liquid chromatography, and their distribution in lamb liver phosphatidylinositol was studied by a method using [(3)H]methanol. 3. In the second method, phosphatidylinositol was acetylated under mild reaction conditions. The major product was the triacetylated derivative of this phospholipid. This was reacted with diazomethane and the methylated-triacetylated phosphatidylinositol was fractionated into molecular species on silver nitrate-impregnated thin layers. Solvent mixtures containing acetone and distilled chloroform were found most suitable for this purpose. The fatty acid composition of the molecular species was determined by g.l.c., and their distribution in lamb liver phosphatidylinositol was studied by a method using [1-(14)C]acetic anhydride during the acetylation reaction. 4. Results from both methods agree fairly well. The most predominant species of lamb liver phosphatidylinositol is the monoenoic (60%) followed by the tetraenoic (17%). The di- and tri-enoic species existed as minor components. 相似文献

The mono-, di-, and triphosphoinositides of bovine brain were isolated by chromatography on columns of DEAE-cellulose, alumina, and silicic acid. The major molecular species in each phosphoinositide class were identified and quantitatively estimated by combined thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography of the component diglycerides, which were released by hydrolysis with a specific brain phosphodiesterase. The diglycerides were treated with pancreatic lipase, and the positional distribution of the fatty acids was determined. Over 27 molecular species were identified, and these accounted for about 95% of each phosphoinositide class, but the 1-stearate 2-arachidonate derivative contributed more than 40% of the total in each class. The other molecular species also were qualitatively and quantitatively similar in the three phosphoinositide classes. All the long-chain and polyunsaturated acids were confined to the 2-position and were preferentially paired with stearic acid in the 1-position. Oleic acid in the 2-position was about equally divided between species with palmitic and stearic acids in the 1-position. These results suggest that the mono-, di-, and triphosphoinositides of the bovine brain have similar compositions and that the various molecular species may be metabolically related. 相似文献

The ceramide fractions were isolated from the chloroform/methanolic extractable of the fruiting bodies of Tuber indicum and separated into three kinds of molecular species TI-1, TI-2, and TI-3 by normal and reverse phase silica gel-column chromatography. By means of (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS), and chemical degradation experiment, their component sphingoid base for TI-1 and TI-2 was uniformly (2S,3S,4R)-2-amino-1,3,4-octadecantriol, while the sphingoid of TI-3 was d-erythro-sphingosine, and their structures have been determined unequivocally to be (2S,2'R,3S,4R)-2-(2'-d-hydroxyalkanoylamino) octadecane-1,3,4-triol, the fatty acid composition of which consists of 2-hydroxydocosanoic, 2-hydroxytetracosanoic, and 2-hydroxytricosanoic acids (from major to minor); (2S,3S,4R)-2-(alkanoylamino)octadecane-1,3,4-triol, the fatty acid composition of which is unusual and consists of docosanoic, hexadecanoic, tricosanoic, octadecanoic and nonadecanoic acids (from major to minor); and (2S,3R,4E)-2-(alkanoylamino)-4-octadecene-1,3-diol, the component fatty acids of which were hexadecanoic (predominant) and octadecanoic acids, respectively. 相似文献

A protein fraction with fatty acid binding activity has been isolated from mammary tissue from lactating rats by a process involving DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, heat treatment, CM-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography and finally ammonium sulphate precipitation. The purified fraction migrated as a single band on SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular mass of 14400. However, when this protein fraction was electrophoresed under non-dissociating conditions, two species were observed in a 4:1 ratio. The two components were separated using h.p.l.c. Both bind fatty acids and appear to have similar amino acid compositions although exhibiting different pI values of 4.8 and 4.9. The mammary fatty acid binding proteins appear to be very similar to the fatty acid binding protein isolated from rat heart based on the electrophoretic mobilities and amino acid composition. The major mammary form (pI 4.9) has been partially sequenced and the amino acid sequences obtained can be aligned with 67 residues of the revised rat heart amino acid sequence [Heuckeroth, Birkenmeier, Levin & Gordon (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9709-9717]. Both mammary species also showed immunochemical identity to rat heart fatty acid binding protein when tested with an anti-serum raised against the heart protein. Anti-sera raised against the minor mammary form (pI 4.8) specifically precipitated this form under non-denaturing conditions but both forms after they had been denatured. Quantitative immunoassays using the anti-(heart fatty acid binding protein) serum showed that concentrations of the fatty acid binding proteins present in mammary cytosols increase during lactation and increase further after feeding a high-fat diet. 相似文献

Methods for the efficient use of limiting amounts of fatty acid probes in the synthesis of individual molecular species of plasmenylcholine have been developed. Plasmenylcholine molecular species were synthesized through acylation of homogeneous 1-O-(Z)-hexadec-1'-enyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine utilizing fatty acid anhydrides generated in situ from combined pools of reactant and recycled fatty acids by repeated addition of small amounts (10 mol%) of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The efficient generation of reactive anhydrides was accomplished through minimizing irreversible formation of N-acyl urea adducts by maintaining a persistent molar excess of fatty acid (with respect to carbodiimide) during the entire reaction time course. The synthesis of multiple different sn-2 labeled plasmenylcholine probes for utilization in fluorescence, ESR, or 2H NMR spectroscopy as well as isotopically labeled plasmenylcholines for metabolic studies has been achieved in good yield (40-50% of theoretical yield based on fatty acid) by these methods. Rapid and effective purification methods utilizing high-performance liquid chromatography were developed for both large- and small-scale purifications of individual reaction mixtures which collectively resulted in the isolation of homogeneous plasmenylcholine molecular species in high yield from limiting amounts of fatty acid probes. 相似文献

Analysis of aminophospholipid molecular species by high performance liquid chromatography 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A new method is described for the separation of individual molecular species of the aminophospholipids, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. Trinitrobenzene-sulfonic acid was used to derivatize both aminophospholipids and the derivatives were purified by thin-layer chromatography. A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography technique was developed to separate and quantify individual molecular species based upon ultraviolet detection of the attached chromophore. The retention times of the molecular species on the C18 reversed-phase column were longer with increasing carbon chain length and decreasing degree of unsaturation of fatty acyl chain. The overall procedure allowed a quantitative recovery of the aminophospholipid species. The lower limit of detection was about 10 pmol and a linear response was observed in the range of 0.1-10 nmol of phospholipid. Using this method, we were able to separate and quantify trinitrophenyl-phosphatidylethanolamine molecular species of both subclasses (diacyl and alkenyl) from human red blood cells and rat brains. Separation of species was confirmed by gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of the fatty acid content of each peak and by thermospray liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. This new method provides a convenient and sensitive technique for studies of aminophospholipid molecular species composition. Furthermore, it appears to be a useful tool for the analysis of asymmetric distribution of these species in biological membranes. 相似文献

The mitochondrial phospholipid (CL) has been linked to mitochondrial and cellular functions. It has been postulated that the composition of CL is of impact for mitochondrial energy metabolism and cell proliferation. Although a correlation between CL composition and proliferation could be demonstrated for several cell types, evidence for a causal relationship remains obscure. Here, we applied two independent approaches, i) supplementation of fatty acids and ii) knock-out of the phospholipid remodeling enzyme tafazzin, to manipulate CL composition and analyzed the response on proliferation of C6 glioma cells. Both strategies caused substantial changes in the distribution of cellular fatty acids as well as in the distribution of fatty acids incorporated in CL that were accompanied by changes of the composition of molecular CL species. These changes did not correlate with cell proliferation. However, knock-out of tafazzin caused dramatic reduction in proliferation of C6 glioma cells independent of CL composition. The mechanism of tafazzin-dependent restriction of proliferation remains unclear. Among the various fatty acids administered only palmitic acid restricted cell proliferation by induction of cell death. 相似文献

Cardiolipin (CL) is a major mitochondrial membrane phospholipid in the mammalian heart and the remodeling of CL is essential to maintain its unique unsaturated fatty acyl composition. We examined CL de novo biosynthesis and remodeling in the surviving population of H9c2 cardiac myoblast cells exposed to 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG). H9c2 cells were incubated in the absence or presence of 2-DG for 16 h with [1,3-3H]glycerol or [1-14C]linoleic acid (bound to albumin in a 1:1 molar ratio). Dead cells were removed and radioactivity was incorporated into CL. Its pool size, fatty acid composition, and the activities of the CL biosynthesis and remodeling enzymes were determined. The CL pool size, its fatty acid composition, and [1,3-3H]glycerol or [1-14C]linoleic acid incorporated into CL were unaltered in the surviving population of 2-DG-treated cells compared with controls. In addition, the activities of the CL de novo biosynthetic enzymes were unaltered. Cleaved caspase-3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase were slightly elevated in the surviving population of 2-DG-treated cells compared with controls, indicating that apoptosis induction was occurring in these cells. Mitochondrial phospholipase A2 and monolysocardiolipin acyltransferase (MLCL AT) activities increased 33% (p < 0.05) and 63% (p < 0.05), respectively, in 2-deoxyglucose-treated cells compared with controls. In contrast, the activity of ALCAT1, an endoplasmic reticulum MLCL AT, decreased 77% (p < 0.05), but this was not due to a reduction in ALCAT1 mRNA expression. The mRNA expression of the Barth syndrome gene TAZ, encoding a mitochondrial CL transacylase, was unaltered in 2-DG treated cells. The increase in mitochondrial MLCL AT activity was due to an elevated expression in MLCL AT protein. Thus, an increase in MLCL AT activity and expression occurs to maintain the CL pool in the surviving population of H9c2 cells as a compensatory mechanism for the elevated phospholipase A2 activity seen in 2-DG-induced apoptosis. We hypothesize that increased mitochondrial MLCL AT activity and its expression, and hence, elevated CL resynthesis, may be a protective mechanism against monolysocardiolipin-mediated apoptosis. 相似文献

The fatty acid profile in the tissue of heart, gill, skull- and otolith-oil of the three redfish species, Sebastes viviparus, S. marinus and S. mentella was determined by a chemometric method, consisting of methanolysis of samples of the tissues and of the oils and gas chromatography of the resulting fatty acid methyl esters. The analytical data were treated by multivariate statistics comprising principal component analysis (PCA) and soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA). Although the differences in fatty acid composition among the two tissues and two oils were the dominating features of the data, the three species had significantly different fatty acid profiles within each tissue. Variation among the individuals was considerable. The fatty acid profiles appeared to be species specific. The mutual relationship between S. marinus and S. mentella is closer than the relationship between either of them and S. viviparus. A comparison with a corresponding investigation on the same three species from another location indicates that the observed differences do not seem to be affected by biotic or abiotic factors. 相似文献

Molecular symmetry in mitochondrial cardiolipins 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Cardiolipin is a unique mitochondrial phospholipid with an atypical fatty acid profile, but the significance of its acyl specificity has not been understood. We explored the enormous combinatorial diversity among cardiolipin species, which results from the presence of four fatty acids in each molecule, by integrated use of high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, diacylglycerol species analysis, fatty acid analysis, and selective cleavage of fatty acids by phospholipase A2. The most abundant cardiolipin species from various organisms and tissues (human heart, human lymphoblasts, rat liver, Drosophila, sea urchin sperm, yeast, mung bean hypocotyls) contained only one or two types of fatty acids, which generated a high degree of structural uniformity and molecular symmetry. However, an exception was found in patients with Barth syndrome, in whom an acyltransferase deficiency led to loss of acyl selectivity and formation of multiple molecular species. These results suggest that restriction of the number of fatty acid species, rather than the selection of a particular kind of fatty acid, is the common theme of eukaryotic cardiolipins. This limits the structural diversity of the cardiolipin species and creates molecular symmetry with implications for the stereochemistry of cardiolipin. 相似文献

Cardiolipin (CL) is a major phospholipid involved in energy metabolism mammalian mitochondria and fatty acid transport protein-1 (FATP-1) is a fatty acid transport protein that may regulate the intracellular level of fatty acyl-Coenzyme A's. Since fatty acids are required for oxidative phosphorylation via mitochondrial oxidation, we examined the effect of altering FATP-1 levels on CL biosynthesis. HEK-293 mock- and FATP-1 siRNA transfected cells or mock and FATP-1 expressing cells were incubated for 24 h with 0.1 mM oleic acid bound to albumin (1:1 molar ratio) then incubated for 24 h with 0.1 mM [1,3-3H]glycerol and radioactivity incorporated into CL determined. FATP-1 siRNA transfected cells exhibited reduced FATP-1 mRNA and increased incorporation of [1,3-3H]glycerol into CL (2-fold, p < 0.05) compared to controls indicating elevation in de novo CL biosynthesis. The reason for this was an increase in [1,3-3H]glycerol uptake and increase in activity and mRNA expression of the CL biosynthetic enzymes. In contrast, expression of FATP-1 resulted a reduction in incorporation of [1,3-3H]glycerol into CL (65%, p < 0.05) indicating reduced CL synthesis. [1,3-3H]Glycerol uptake was unaltered whereas activity of cytidine-5′-diphosphate-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol synthetase (CDS) and CDS-2 mRNA expression were reduced in FATP-1 expressing cells compared to control. In addition, in vitro CDS activity was reduced by exogenous addition of oleoyl-Coenzyme A. The data indicate that CL de novo biosynthesis may be regulated by FATP-1 through CDS-2 expression in HEK 293 cells. 相似文献

AbstractExposure to rotenone in vivo results in selective degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and development of neuropathologic features of Parkinson's disease (PD). As rotenone acts as an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiratory complex I, we employed oxidative lipidomics to assess oxidative metabolism of a mitochondria-specific phospholipid, cardiolipin (CL), in substantia nigra (SN) of exposed animals. We found a significant reduction in oxidizable polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-containing CL molecular species. We further revealed increased contents of mono-oxygenated CL species at late stages of the exposure. Notably, linoleic acid in sn-1 position was the major oxidation substrate yielding its mono-hydroxy- and epoxy-derivatives whereas more readily “oxidizable” fatty acid residues (arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids) remained non-oxidized. Elevated levels of PUFA CLs were detected in plasma of rats exposed to rotenone. Characterization of oxidatively modified CL molecular species in SN and detection of PUFA-containing CL species in plasma may contribute to better understanding of the PD pathogenesis and lead to the development of new biomarkers of mitochondrial dysfunction associated with this disease. 相似文献
