A thin-layer chromatographic method utilizing ultracold temperatures has been developed to separate phosphoglycerides containing only long-chain saturated fatty acids from phosphoglycerides containing fatty acids with any degree of unsaturation. The method is direct, nondiluting, and nondestructive. Since the surface-active lipids found in lung surfactant contain only long-chain, saturated fatty acids, the method should be particularly useful to those in lung lipid research. Studies on the uptake of labeled precursors into the lung surfactant lipids, as well as work on quantitation of surfactant lecithins in the lung, can be facilitated by this method. 相似文献

Interaction of short-chain lecithin with long-chain phospholipids: characterization of vesicles that form spontaneously 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Stable unilamellar vesicles formed spontaneously upon mixing aqueous suspensions of long-chain phospholipid (synthetic, saturated, and naturally occurring phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and sphingomyelin) with small amounts of short-chain lecithin (fatty acid chain lengths of 6-8 carbons) have been characterized by using NMR spectroscopy, negative staining electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. This method of vesicle preparation can produce bilayer vesicles spanning the size range 100 to greater than 1000 A. The combination of short-chain lecithin and long-chain lecithin in its gel state at room temperature produces relatively small unilamellar vesicles, while using long-chain lecithin in its liquid-crystalline state produces large unilamellar vesicles. The length of the short-chain lecithin does not affect the size distribution of the vesicles as much as the ratio of short-chain to long-chain components. In general, additional short-chain decreases the average vesicle size. Incorporation of cholesterol can affect vesicle size, with the solubility limit of cholesterol in short-chain lecithin micelles governing any size change. If the amount of cholesterol is below the solubility limit of micellar short-chain lecithin, then the addition of cholesterol to the vesicle bilayer has no effect on the vesicle size; if more cholesterol is added, particle growth is observed. Vesicles formed with a saturated long-chain lecithin and short-chain species exhibit similar phase transition behavior and enthalpy values to small unilamellar vesicles of the pure long-chain lecithin prepared by sonication. As the size of the short-chain/long-chain vesicles decreases, the phase transition temperature decreases to temperatures observed for sonicated unilamellar vesicles. FTIR spectroscopy confirms that the incorporation of the short-chain lipid in the vesicle bilayer does not drastically alter the gauche bond conformation of the long-chain lipids (i.e., their transness in the gel state and the presence of multiple gauche bonds in the liquid-crystalline state). 相似文献

Recent diabetes and obesity research has been focused on the role of intracellular lipids in insulin resistance. Fatty acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) esters play a central role in the trafficking of intracellular lipids, but there has not previously been a method with which to quantify their kinetics using tracer methodology. We have therefore developed a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-mass spectrometry method to simultaneously measure the (13)C stable isotopic enrichment of palmitoyl-acyl-CoA ester and the concentrations of five individual long-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters extracted from muscle tissue samples. The long-chain fatty acyl-CoA can be effectively extracted from frozen muscle tissue samples and baseline separated by a reverse-phase HPLC with the presence of a volatile reagent-triethylamine. Negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring was used to analyze the fatty acyl-CoAs to achieve reliable quantification of their concentrations and (13)C isotopic enrichment. Applying this protocol to rabbit muscle samples demonstrates that it is a sensitive, accurate, and precise method for the quantification of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA concentrations and enrichment. 相似文献

Acyl-CoAs have important role in fat and glucose metabolism of the cells. In this study we have developed an on-line HPLC-ESI-MS/MS method for determination of long-chain acyl-CoA compounds in rat liver samples. Six long-chain acyl-CoAs (C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1, C20:0 and C20:4) were separated with a C4 reversed-phase column using triethylamine acetate and acetonitrile gradient. Negative electrospray ionization is very suitable for acyl-CoA compounds and excellent MS/MS spectra for long-chain acyl-CoAs can be obtained. MS/MS method with an ion trap mass spectrometer makes it possible to identify and quantitate individual acyl-CoAs simultaneously. The method proved to be sensitive enough for determination of all compounds of interest using 0.4-0.7 g of tissue and was validated in the range of 0.1-15.0 pmol/microl. 相似文献

Structure and regulation of rat long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

Complementary DNAs encoding rat long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase have been isolated. The cDNAs were identified using synthetic oligonucleotide probes based on partial amino acid sequences of lysyl endopeptidase peptides of the purified enzyme. Rat long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase is predicted to contain 699 amino acid residues and to have a calculated molecular weight of 78,177. Significant sequence similarity was found between parts of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase and firefly luciferase. Based on the similarity of the reaction mechanisms of the two enzymes, we propose a function for the similar region. The long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase mRNA is expressed in liver, heart, and epididymal adipose tissues and, to a much lesser extent, in brain, small intestine, and lung. The level of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase mRNA is increased 7-8-fold in rat liver by feeding a diet high in carbohydrate or fat, consistent with the physiological significance of the enzyme in fatty acid metabolism. 相似文献

Quantitation of free sphingosine in liver by high-performance liquid chromatography 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Conditions were established for the extraction of free sphingosine from liver and the separation and quantitation of this and other long-chain (sphingoid) bases (e.g., sphingosine, sphinganine, phytosphingosine, and homologs) by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The long-chain bases were extracted with chloroform and methanol and then treated with base to remove interfering lipids. After preparation of the o-phthalaldehyde derivatives, the long-chain bases could be separated using C18 columns eluted isocratically with methanol:5 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.0 (90:10). The HPLC analyses took 15 to 20 min per sample and had lower limits of detection in the picomole range. Quantitation was facilitated by using a 20-carbon long-chain base homolog as an internal standard. The utility of the method was demonstrated with rat liver, providing the first quantitation of free sphingosine in this tissue of approximately 7 nmol/g wet wt. 相似文献

Peroxisomes are single-membrane bounded organelles that in humans play a dual role in lipid metabolism, including the degradation of very long-chain fatty acids and the synthesis of ether lipids/plasmalogens. The first step in de novo ether lipid synthesis is mediated by the peroxisomal enzyme glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase, which has a strict substrate specificity reacting only with the long-chain acyl-CoAs. The aim of this study was to determine the origin of these long-chain acyl-CoAs. To this end, we developed a sensitive method for the measurement of de novo ether phospholipid synthesis in cells and, by CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, generated a series of HeLa cell lines with deficiencies of proteins involved in peroxisomal biogenesis, beta-oxidation, ether lipid synthesis, or metabolite transport. Our results show that the long-chain acyl-CoAs required for the first step of ether lipid synthesis can be imported from the cytosol by the peroxisomal ABCD proteins, in particular ABCD3. Furthermore, we show that these acyl-CoAs can be produced intraperoxisomally by chain shortening of CoA esters of very long-chain fatty acids via beta-oxidation. Our results demonstrate that peroxisomal beta-oxidation and ether lipid synthesis are intimately connected and that the peroxisomal ABC transporters play a crucial role in de novo ether lipid synthesis. 相似文献

Short-chain lecithin/long-chain phospholipid unilamellar vesicles: asymmetry, dynamics, and enzymatic hydrolysis of the short-chain component 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Asymmetric unilamellar vesicles are produced when short-chain phospholipids (fatty acyl chain lengths of 6-8 carbons) are mixed with long-chain phospholipids (fatty acyl chain lengths of 14 carbons or longer) in ratios of 1:4 short-chain/long-chain component. Short-chain lecithins are preferentially distributed on the outer monolayer, while a short-chain phosphatidylethanolamine derivative appears to localize on the inner monolayer of these spontaneously forming vesicles. Lanthanide NMR shift experiments clearly show a difference in head-group/ion interactions between the short-chain and long-chain species. Two-dimensional 1H NMR studies reveal efficient spin diffusion networks for the short-chain species embedded in the long-chain bilayer matrix. The short-chain lecithin is considerably more mobile than the long-chain component but has hindered motion compared to short-chain lecithin micelles. This differentiation in physical characteristics of the two phospholipid components is critical to understanding the activity of phospholipases toward these binary systems. 相似文献

Enzymatic hydrolysis of short-chain lecithin/long-chain phospholipid unilamellar vesicles: sensitivity of phospholipases to matrix phase state 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Short-chain lecithin/long-chain phospholipid unilamellar vesicles (SLUVs), unlike pure long-chain lecithin vesicles, are excellent substrates for water-soluble phospholipases. Hemolysis assays show that greater than 99.5% of the short-chain lecithin is partitioned in the bilayer. In these binary component vesicles, the short-chain species is the preferred substrate, while the long-chain phospholipid can be treated as an inhibitor (phospholipase C) or poor substrate (phospholipase A2). For phospholipase C Bacillus cereus, apparent Km and Vmax values show that bilayer-solubilized diheptanoylphosphatidylcholine (diheptanoyl-PC) is nearly as good a substrate as pure micellar diheptanoyl-PC, although the extent of short-chain lecithin hydrolysis depends on the phase state of the long-chain lipid. For phospholipase A2 Naja naja naja, both Km and Vmax values show a greater range: in a gel-state matrix, diheptanoyl-PC is hydrolyzed with micellelike kinetic parameters; in a liquid-crystalline matrix, the short-chain lecithin becomes comparable to the long-chain component. Both enzymes also show an anomalous increase in specific activity toward diheptanoyl-PC around the phase transition temperature of the long-chain phospholipid. Since the short-chain lecithin does not exhibit a phase transition, this must reflect fluctuations in head-group area or vertical motions of the short-chain lecithin caused by surrounding long-chain lecithin molecules. These results are discussed in terms of a specific model for SLUV hydrolysis and a general explanation for the "interfacial activation" observed with water-soluble phospholipases. 相似文献

CoASH, Mg2+, ATP and (-)-carnitine were found to be essential for the production of palmitoylcarnitine from palmitate by purified barley etio-chloroplasts. It was concluded that long-chain acyl CoA synthetase (palmitoyl CoA synthetase, EC 6.2.1.3) and carnitine long-chain acyl-transferase (carnitine palmitoyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.21) activity were present in the etio-chloroplasts. It is suggested that the long-chain acylcarnitine formed may move more easily through membrane barriers than the long-chain acyl CoA compound. Also or alternatively this enzyme may spare CoA by transferring long-chain acyl groups from long-chain acyl CoA to carnitine. 相似文献

The effect of long-chain acyl-CoA on glutamate dehydrogenase activity was studied in uncoupled rabbit kidney cortex mitochondria incubated with glutamate and palmitoylcarnitine in the presence of arsenite. The mitochondrial long-chain acyl-CoA (about 2 nmol/mg of protein) accumulated in the presence of arsenite resulted in an inhibition of ammonia production from 4.1 to 1.2 nmol/min per mg of protein. Leucine and ADP, activators of glutamate dehydrogenase, did not release the inhibitory effect of long-chain acyl-CoA on glutamate deamination. In view of the presented data it seems that inhibitory effect of long-chain acyl-CoA on glutamate dehydrogenase activity may have a physiological significance. 相似文献

A reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography technique to separate carnitine and acylcarnitines from a biological matrix is described. The method utilizes a step gradient to provide baseline resolution of acylcarnitines (individually or by class) for subsequent quantification using a sensitive radioenzymatic assay. The method requires minimal sample preparation and prevents any contamination among groups of acylcarnitines. This technique has been applied to liver tissues of rats obtained under a variety of conditions. These studies demonstrate the validity and utility of the HPLC method while confirming the applicability of the perchloric acid fractionation of acylcarnitines by functional class. The present HPLC method permits resolution of long-chain acylcarnitines in the presence of large excess concentrations of carnitine and short-chain acylcarnitines (coelution of unesterified carnitine with long-chain acylcarnitines less than or equal to 0.05%). Thus, the method will be of use in the study of acylcarnitines in biological systems over a broad spectrum of metabolic conditions. 相似文献

The inhibitory effect of long-chain fatty acids on the anaerobic digestion process was examined in batch experiments using synthetic substrates. The addition of long-chain fatty acids caused the appearance of the appearance of the lag period in the methane production from acetate and in the degradation of both long-chain fatty acids and n-butyrate. Methane production from hydrogen proceeded without lag period although its rate was lowered. Fermentation of glucose was not inhibited. Neutral fat in the whole milk was easily hydrolyzed to long-chain fatty acids, which brought about the inhibition. The addition of calcium chloride reduced the inhibitory effect of long-chain fatty but it did not do so after the culture had been exposed to long-chain fatty acids for more than several hours. The addition of calcium carbonate could not reduce the inhibition because of its insolubility. 相似文献

Proteoliposome as the model for the study of membrane-bound enzymes and transport proteins 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Published data regarding the interaction of long-chain acyl CoA derivatives with the protein and phospholipid constituents of biological membranes is reviewed and discussed in relationship to the premise that such interactions may lead to membrane damage during pathological situations. The topics considered include: the detergent properties of long-chain CoA, the interaction with membrane-associated enzymes, biological membranes, or model membrane systems, and the binding to a soluble protein that may facilitate intracellular transport. The effects of long-chain acyl CoA on heart mitochondria and the relevance of such studies to myocardial ischemia also is emphasized. 相似文献

A new method for the preparation of 3-ketoacyl-CoA thioesters (from malonylsemialdehyde to long-chain and phenylpropanoic 3-keto derivatives) is described. It utilizes the facile, thermodynamically very favorable, hydration of 2-alkynoyl-CoA thioesters by enoyl-CoA hydratase. The method is simple and avoids laborious organic syntheses or the use of multicomponent enzymatic methods. 相似文献

In the heart, a nutritional state (fed or fasted) is characterized by a unique energy metabolism pattern determined by the availability of substrates. Increased availability of acylcarnitines has been associated with decreased glucose utilization; however, the effects of long-chain acylcarnitines on glucose metabolism have not been previously studied. We tested how changes in long-chain acylcarnitine content regulate the metabolism of glucose and long-chain fatty acids in cardiac mitochondria in fed and fasted states. We examined the concentrations of metabolic intermediates in plasma and cardiac tissues under fed and fasted states. The effects of substrate availability and their competition for energy production at the mitochondrial level were studied in isolated rat cardiac mitochondria. The availability of long-chain acylcarnitines in plasma reflected their content in cardiac tissue in the fed and fasted states, and acylcarnitine content in the heart was fivefold higher in fasted state compared to the fed state. In substrate competition experiments, pyruvate and fatty acid metabolites effectively competed for the energy production pathway; however, only the physiological content of acylcarnitine significantly reduced pyruvate and lactate oxidation in mitochondria. The increased availability of long-chain acylcarnitine significantly reduced glucose utilization in isolated rat heart model and in vivo. Our results demonstrate that changes in long-chain acylcarnitine contents could orchestrate the interplay between the metabolism of pyruvate–lactate and long-chain fatty acids, and thus determine the pattern of energy metabolism in cardiac mitochondria. 相似文献

Pomace olive oil is a by-product of olive oil extraction that is traditionally produced and consumed in Spain. The nonglyceride matter of this oil is a good source of interesting minor compounds, like long-chain fatty alcohols, which are present free or as part of waxes. In the present study, long-chain fatty alcohols were isolated from the nonglyceride fraction of pomace olive oil, and the composition was identified and quantified. The major components of long-chain fatty alcohols were tetracosanol, hexacosanol and octacosanol. We investigated the ability of long-chain fatty alcohols from pomace olive oil to inhibit the release of different proinflammatory mediators in vitro by cells involved in inflammatory processes. Long-chain fatty alcohols significantly and dose-dependently decreased nitric oxide production by RAW 264.7 murine macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Western blot analysis showed that nitric oxide reduction was a consequence of the inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthetase expression. Long-chain fatty alcohols also reduced tumor necrosis factor-alpha and prostaglandin E(2) production, although the potency of inhibition for the latter was lower. On the other hand, long-chain fatty alcohols significantly reduced thromboxane A(2) production in rat peritoneal neutrophils stimulated with the calcium ionophore A-23187. The reduction of eicosanoid release was related to the inhibition of phospholipase A(2) enzyme activity by long-chain fatty alcohols, reaching an inhibitory concentration 50% value of 6.2 microg/ml. These results showed that long-chain fatty alcohols may have a protective effect on some mediators involved in the inflammatory damage development, suggesting its potential value as a putative functional component of pomace olive oil. 相似文献

Measurement of the specific activity of cellular pools of long-chain acylcarnitines is complicated by interference of other labeled cellular lipids, especially phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. To overcome these problems the lipid extract from rabbit aorta labeled with [1-14C]palmitate was treated with phospholipase C. Upon two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography, the long-chain acylcarnitines could be isolated in an area free of interfering radioactivity. Mobility of long-chain carnitines was inversely proportional to the fatty acid chain length. The amount of long-chain acylcarnitine was quantified from their carnitine content after alkaline hydrolysis using carnitine acetyltransferase. 相似文献
