We have examined the sterol composition and metabolism of promyelocytic leukaemia cell lines (HL-60) after treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). A variant cell line (Blast II cells) which is resistant to TPA was used as control. Analysis of the sterols of TPA-sensitive cells radiolabelled with [3H]leucine, [14C]acetate or [14C]pyruvate showed a high incorporation into cholesterol and a low incorporation in lanosterol + dihydrolanosterol. The inverse relationship was observed in TPA-resistant cells. Experiments with other cellular variants representing TPA-sensitive and TPA-resistant classes gave similar results. Analysis of the cellular sterol composition by gas chromatography confirmed that TPA-resistant cells are particularly rich in lanosterol/dihydrolanosterol. TPA treatment enhanced the incorporation of [14C]pyruvate into the sterol fraction of both cell types. This was accompanied by an alteration of incorporation into several lipids, particularly phospholipids. Pulse-chase studies with [14C]acetate revealed that TPA induced the release of radioactive lipids into the medium from HL-60 and Blast II cells. However this treatment released phospholipids from the TPA-sensitive cells and sterols and fatty acids from the TPA-resistant cells. We conclude that the sterol composition can regulate specific biochemical processes in the membrane and can be considered as a factor that plays a role in the responsiveness of HL-60 cells to TPA.  相似文献

Monolayers of Caco-2 cells, a human enterocyte cell line, were incubated with [1-14C]15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE), a lipid mediator of inflammation, and [1-14C]arachidonic acid. Both fatty acids were taken up readily and metabolized by Caco-2 cells. [1-14C]Arachidonic acid was directly esterified in cellular phospholipids and, to a lesser extent, in triglycerides. When [1-14C]15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid was incubated with Caco-2 cells, about 10% was directly esterified into cellular lipids but most (55%) was beta-oxidized to ketone bodies, CO2, and acetate, with very little accumulation of shorter carbon chain products of partial beta-oxidation. The radiolabeled acetate generated from beta-oxidation of [1-14C]15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid was incorporated into the synthesis of new fatty acids, primarily [14C]palmitate, which in turn was esterified into cellular phospholipids, with lesser amounts in triglycerides. Caco-2 cells were also incubated with [5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-3H]15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid; most of the radiolabel was recovered either in ketone bodies or in [3H]palmitate esterified in phospholipids and triglycerides, demonstrating that most of the [3H]15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid underwent several cycles of beta-oxidation. The binding of both 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and arachidonic acid to hepatic fatty acid binding protein, the only fatty acid binding protein in Caco-2 cells, was measured. The Kd (6.0 microM) for 15-HETE was three-fold higher than that for arachidonate (2.1 microM).  相似文献

Uptake of Tween-fatty acid esters and incorporation of the fatty acids into lipids by soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) suspension cultures was investigated, together with subsequent turnover of the incorporated fatty acids and associated changes in endogenous fatty acid synthesis. Tween uptake was saturable, and fatty acids were rapidly transferred from Tweens to all acylated lipids. Patterns of incorporation into glycerolipids were similar in cells treated with Tweens carrying [1-14C]-fatty acids and in cells treated with [1-14C]acetate, indicating that exogenous fatty acids were used for glycerolipid synthesis essentially as if they had been made by the cell. In Tween-treated cells neutral lipids (which include Tweens) initially accounted for the majority of lipid radioactivity. Radioactivity was then rapidly transferred to glycerolipids. A transient pool of free fatty acids accounting for up to 10% of lipid radioactivity was observed. This was consistent with the hypothesis that fatty acids are transferred from Tweens to lipids by deacylation of the Tweens, creating a pool of free fatty acids which are then used for lipid synthesis. Sterols were only slightly labeled in cells treated with Tweens, but accounted for nearly 50% of lipid radioactivity in cells treated with acetate. This suggested very little degradation and reutilization of the radioactive fatty acids in cells treated with Tweens. In cells treated with either [1-14C]acetate or Tween-[1-14C]-18:1, 70% of the initial fatty acid radioactivity remained in fatty acids after a 100 hour chase. By contrast, fatty acids not normally present disappeared more rapidly, suggesting differential treatment of such fatty acids compared with those normally present. Cells which had incorporated large amounts of exogenous fatty acids altered fatty acid synthesis in three distinct ways: (a) amounts of [1-14C]acetate incorporated into fatty acids were reduced; (b) cells incorporating exogenous unsaturated fatty acids increased the proportion of [1-14C]acetate partitioned into saturated fatty acids, while the converse was true of cells which had incorporated exogenous saturated fatty acids; (c) desaturation of 18:1 to 18:2 and 18:3 was reduced in cells which had incorporated unsaturated fatty acids. These results suggest that Tween-fatty acid esters will be useful for supplying fatty acids to cells for a variety of studies related to fatty acid or membrane metabolism.  相似文献

Mixed rumen microorganisms (MRM) or suspensions of rumen Holotrich protozoa obtained from a sheep were incubated anaerobically with [1-(14)C]linoleic acid, [U-(14)C]glucose, or [1-(14)C]acetate. With MRM, the total amount of fatty acids present did not change after incubation. An increase in fatty acids esterified into sterolesters (SE) and polar lipids at the expense of free fatty acids was observed. This effect was intensified by the addition of fermentable carbohydrate to the incubations. Radioactivity from [1-(14)C]linoleic acid was incorporated into SE and polar lipids with both MRM and Holotrich protozoa. With MRM the order of incorporation of radioactivity was as follows: SE > phosphatidylethanolamine > phosphatidylcholine. With Holotrich protozoa, the order of incorporation was phosphatidylcholine > phosphatidylethanolamine > SE. With MRM the radioactivity remaining in the free fatty acids and that incorporated into SE was mainly associated with saturated fatty acids, but a considerable part of the radioactivity in the polar lipids was associated with dienoic fatty acids. This effect of hydrogenation prior to incorporation was also noted with Holotrich protozoa but to a much lesser extent. Small amounts of radioactivity from [U-(14)C]glucose and [1-(14)C]acetate were incorporated into rumen microbial lipids. With protozoa incubated with [U-(14)C]glucose, the major part of incorporated radioactivity was present in the glycerol moiety of the lipids. From the amounts of lipid classes present, their radioactivity, and fatty acid composition, estimates were made of the amounts of higher fatty acids directly incorporated into microbial lipids and the amounts synthesized de novo from glucose or acetate. It is concluded that the amounts directly incorporated may be greater than the amounts synthesized de novo.  相似文献

1. Ten bacteria utilizing [2-14C]ethanol-2-amine as the sole or major source of nitrogen for growth on glycerol + salts medium incorporated radioactivity into a variety of bacterial substances. A high proportion was commonly found in lipid fractions, particularly in the case of Erwinia carotovora. 2. Detailed studies of [14C]ethanolamine incorporation into lipids by five bacteria, including E. carotovora, showed that all detectable lipids were labelled. Even where phosphatidylethanolamine was the major lipid labelled, radioactivity was predominantly in the fatty acid rather than the base moiety. The labelled fatty acids were identified in each case. 3. The addition of acetate to growth media decreased the incorporation of radioactivity from ethanolamine into both fatty acid and phosphatidyl-base fragments of lipids from all the bacteria except Mycobacterium smegmatis. Experiments with [3H]ethanolamine and [14C]acetate confirmed that unlabelled acetate decreased the incorporation of both radioactive isotopes into lipids, except in the case of M. smegmatis. 4. Enzyme studies suggested one of two metabolic routes between ethanolamine and acetyl-CoA for each of four bacteria. A role for ethanolamine O-phosphate was not obligatory for the incorporation of [14C]ethanolamine into phospholipids, but correlated with CoA-independent aldehyde dehydrogenase activity.  相似文献

Lipid metabolism in various regions of squid giant nerve fiber   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The purpose of this investigation was to compare the incorporation of radioactivity from various precursors into lipids of different regions of squid giant nerve fiber systems including axoplasm, axon sheath, giant fiber lobes which contain stellate ganglion cell bodies, and the remaining ganglion including giant synapses. To identify the labeled lipids, stellate ganglia including giant fiber lobes and the remaining tissue were first incubated separately with [14C]glucose, [32P]phosphate, [14C]serine, [14C]acetate and [3H]myristate. The radioactivity from glucose, after conversion to glycerol and fatty acids, was incorporated into most lipids, including triacylglycerol, free fatty acids, cardiolipin, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, sphingomyelin and ceramide 2-aminoethylphosphanate [corrected]. The radioactivity from serine was largely incorporated into phosphatidylserine and, to a lesser extent, into other phospholipids, mainly as the base component. The sphingoid bases of ceramide and sphingomyelin were also significantly labeled. Saturated and monounsaturated and, to a lesser extent, polyunsaturated fatty acids of these lipids were synthesized from acetate, glucose and myristate. Among the major lipids, cholesterol was not labeled by any of the radioactive compounds used. Ganglion residues incorporated the most radioactivity in total lipids from either [14C]glucose or [14C]serine, followed by giant fiber lobes and then sheath. Axoplasm incorporated the least. Among various lipids, phosphatidylethanolamine with shorter saturated fatty acids and phosphatidylglycerol contained the most radioactivity from glucose in all regions. Axoplasm was characterized by a higher proportion of glucose radioactivity in ceramide, sphingomyelin and phosphatidylglycerol. Axoplasm and sheath contained a higher proportion of serine radioactivity than did the other two regions in ceramide. Essentially no radioactivity from [14C]galactose was incorporated in any region.  相似文献

1. The relationship between the rate of [1-14C] acetate incorporation into the fatty acids of renal papillary lipids and the acetate concentration in the medium has been measured. 2. [1-14C] acetate was incorporated mainly into fatty acids of phospholipids and triacylglycerols. Only a few per cent of the radioactivity was found in the free fatty acid fraction. 3. The major part of the [1-14C] acetate was found to be incorporated by a chain elongation of prevalent fatty acids. The major component of the poly-unsaturated fatty acids in triacylglycerols and the major product of fatty acid synthesis from [1-14C] acetate in vitro was demonstrated by mass spectrometry to be docosa-7,10,13,16-tetraenoic acid. 4. The radioactivity of docosa-7,10,13,16-tetraenoic acid accounted for 40% of total radioactivity in triacylglycerol fatty acids (lipid droplet fraction) and 20% of total radioactivity in membrane phospholipid fatty acids.  相似文献

1. The incorporation of 5mm-[U-(14)C]glucose into glyceride fatty acids by fat cells from normal rats incubated in the presence of 20munits of insulin/ml was increased by acetate, pyruvate, palmitate, NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, phenazine methosulphate, dinitrophenol, tetrachlorotrifluoromethyl benzimidazole and oligomycin. Lactate did not stimulate glucose incorporation into fatty acids. The effects of these agents were concentration-dependent. 2. In the presence of 5mm-glucose+insulin, [U-(14)C]acetate, [U-(14)C]pyruvate and [U-(14)C]lactate were incorporated into fatty acids in a concentration-dependent manner, thereby further increasing the total rate of fatty acid synthesis. 3. NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine decreased the incorporation of [U-(14)C]pyruvate into fatty acids in normal cells and increased the incorporation of [U-(14)C]lactate into fatty acids. 4. In fact cells from 72h-starved rats the stimulatory effects of NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine upon glucose and lactate incorporation into fatty acids were totally and partially abolished respectively whereas the stimulatory effects of acetate upon glucose incorporation were retained. 5. Combinations of the optimum concentrations of the substances that stimulate glucose incorporation into fatty acids were tested and compared. The effects of acetate+NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine and acetate+palmitate upon normal cells were additive. The effects of NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine+palmitate were not additive. It was found that total fatty acid synthesis in the presence of glucose was most effectively increased by raising the concentration of pyruvate in the incubation system. 6. The significance of these results in supporting the proposal that fatty acid synthesis from glucose in adipose tissue is a ;self-limiting process' is discussed.  相似文献

The incorporation of [14C]oleic and [14C]linoleic acid into phospholipids and neutral lipids was compared in two recently immortalized airway epithelial cell lines. In addition, the effects of adrenergic stimulation on phospholipid turnover was examined. Both cell lines readily incorporated the fatty acids into all phospholipid and neutral lipid fractions. Isoproterenol (1 microM) induced Ca2+ transients in both cell lines, indicating a functional beta-adrenergic response. Epinephrine (10 microM; 15 min) stimulation of cells prelabeled with [14C]linoleic acid increased the percentage of label in phosphatidylcholine in one cell line. Lipid metabolism can now be extensively studied in human airway epithelia.  相似文献

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid inhibited the incorporation of [2-(14)C]mevalonate into cholesterol and non-saponifiable lipids. Both compounds inhibited the conversion of [1-(14)C]isopentenyl pyrophosphate into cholesterol and the synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids from [2-(14)C]acetate. There was no inhibition of the conversion of [1-(14)C]mevalonate into CO(2). At low concentrations (0.5mm) of the compounds there was a stimulation of acetate incorporation into fatty acids.  相似文献

1. The formation of phosphatidylcholine from radioactive precursors was studied in adult rat lung alveolar type II epithelial cells in primary culture. 2. The incorporation of [Me-14C]choline into total lipids and phosphatidylcholine was stimulated by addition of palmitate, whereas the incorporation of [U-14C]glucose into phosphatidylcholine and disaturated phosphatidylcholine was stimulated by addition of choline. Addition of glucose decreased the absolute rate of incorporation of [1(3)-3H]glycerol into total lipids, phosphatidylcholine and disaturated phosphatidylcholine, decreased the percentage [1(3)-3H]glycerol recovered in phosphatidylcholine, but increased the percentage phosphatidylcholine label in the disaturated species. 3. At saturating substrate concentrations, the percentages of phosphatidylcholine radioactivity found in disaturated phosphatidylcholine after incubation with [1-(14)C]acetate (in the presence of glucose) [1-(14)C]palmitate (in the presence of glucose), [Me-14C]choline (in the presence of glucose and palmitate) and [U-14C]glucose (in the presence of choline and palmitate) were 78, 75, 74 and 90%, respectively. 4. Fatty acids stimulated the incorporation of [U-14C]glucose into the glycerol moiety of phosphatidylcholine. The degree of unsaturation of the added fatty acids was reflected in the distribution of [U-14C]glucose label among the different molecular species of phosphatidylcholine. It is suggested that the glucose concentration in the blood as related to the amount of available fatty acids and their degree of unsaturation may be factors governing the synthesis of surfactant lipids.  相似文献

There was greater incorporation of [2?14C] acetate and of [6?14C] glucose into phosphoglycerides than into triglycerides, of 1 1/2, 2, 3, 4 and 6 day old mycelial sample of the fungus Glomerella cingulata. Maximum incorporation into both classes of lipids occurred in young mycelial samples (2 to 3 days of age) which had a high content of total nitrogen. The five sets of mycelial samples all contained somewhat larger quantities of phosphoglycerides than triglycerides, and changes in content of both classes of lipids were similar in pattern to changes in content of total nitrogen. Incorporation, accumulation and total nitrogen of the mycelial samples, decreased at 4 days but increased again by 6 days. The apparent turnover of the triglycerides and phosphoglycerides was qualitatively similar although there was greater apparent turnover of phosphoglycerides than triglycerides; the similarity in patterns of apparent turnover was inferred to be a consequence of acyl exchange between labeled and unlabeled triglycerides and phosphoglycerides. There was greater incorporation of [2?14C] acetate into the acyl than into the glyceryl moieties of both classes of lipids but greater incorporation of [6?14C] glucose into the glyceryl than acyl moieties. With both precursors, the glyceryl and acyl moieties of the phosphoglycerides were more heavily labeled than corresponding moieties of the triglycerides.  相似文献

Physiological and cellular adaptations to environmental changes are known to be related to modifications in membrane lipids. This work provides metabolic and compositional evidence that Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes are able to synthesize and desaturate fatty acids, to incorporate them into their lipids, and to modify this incorporation when carbamoylcholine is present in the medium. The fatty acids formed from [2-(14)C]acetate in the period from 2 to 9 days were mostly (70%) incorporated in phospholipids, the remainder 30% being recovered in neutral lipids, such as triacylglycerols (TAG) and diacylglycerols (DAG). The main fatty acids formed from [2-(14)C]acetate were saturates (16:0, 18:0), monoenes (16:1, 18:1) and dienes (mostly 18:2). The ratios between labelled unsaturated and saturated fatty acids increased continuously with growth, consistent with a precursor-product relationship between the main fatty acids, and with the occurrence in T. cruzi of Delta(9)- and Delta(12)-desaturases. From days 2 to 5, [(14)C]18:2 was the main fatty acid produced. Accordingly, the fatty acid profiles showed a significant increase in the percentage of 18:2 in all lipids in the period under study, especially in the first 2 to 5 days. In the presence of carbamoylcholine, the labelling of DAG and TAG with [(14)C]18:2 augmented. The results indicate that T cruzi is able to synthesize the main types of fatty acids required to form its membrane lipids, and to exchange them actively in response to environmental stimuli.  相似文献

Incorporation of [14C]acetate or [14C]pyruvate into fatty acids in isolated corn seedling chloroplasts was inhibited 90% or greater by 10 microM sethoxydim or 1 microM haloxyfop. At these concentrations, neither sethoxydim nor haloxyfop inhibited [14C]acetate incorporation into fatty acids in isolated pea chloroplasts. Sethoxydim (10 microM) and haloxyfop (1 microM) did not inhibit incorporation of [14C]malonyl-CoA into fatty acids in cell free extracts from corn tissue cultures. Acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2) from corn seedling chloroplasts was inhibited by both sethoxydim and haloxyfop, with I50 values of 2.9 and 0.5 microM, respectively. This enzyme in pea was not inhibited by 10 microM sethoxydim or 1 microM haloxyfop.  相似文献

Lipid metabolism in brain tissue explants   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Abstract— Tissue explants from frontal lobes of rat brain were used for the study of cerebral fatty acid metabolism. After tissues had been maintained in serum-supplemented medium, a lipid-free medium was substituted and metabolic studies were carried out. Under these conditions explants continued to take up lipid precursors for at least 48 h, as judged by incorporation of dl -[2-14C]mevalonic acid into cellular lipids. [l-14C]Stearic acid and [l-14C]palmitic acid were bound to cells as the free fatty acids, or incorporated into neutral lipids (particularly triglycerides), glycolipids and phospholipids. In the galactolipid fraction, cerebrosides were the principal radioactive lipids. Choline phosphoglycerides, ethanolamine phosphoglycerides, inositol phosphoglycerides and serine phosphoglycerides were the principal radioactive phospholipids. Fatty acids were incorporated into cellular lipids either unchanged or after desaturation, chain elongation, or both. Maximum incorporation of stearate occurred in tissues derived from 3-day-old animals. With increasing age the uptake of fatty acid dropped sharply. When the labelling of lipids as a function of time was followed in 3-day-old animals, triglycerides and choline phosphoglycerides were the first fractions to take up labelled stearate. Labelling of cerebrosides occurred slowly, only becoming evident after 24 h. These studies exemplify the usefulness of tissue explants for prolonged metabolic studies in normal and pathological specimens of brain.  相似文献

We examined changes in biosynthetic capacity of sciatic nerve during the early stages of Wallerian degeneration, utilizing a model that permits exclusion of nonresident cells from degenerating nerve. Sciatic nerve segments were placed in either 5-microns pore (allowing infiltration of nonresident cells) or 0.22-microns pore (excluding nonresident cells) Millipore diffusion chambers and then implanted in the peritoneal cavity of the same 32-34-day-old rat. At times up to 7 days postsurgery, nerve segments from the chambers, as well as control segments from the contralateral sciatic nerve, were removed and their capacity to incorporate radioactive precursors into lipids and proteins assayed in vitro. In nerve segments from both the 0.22- and 5-microns pore chambers, incorporation of [14C]acetate into total lipids was decreased relative to control by 50% at 12 h postsurgery and by 85% at day 3. This decreased incorporation of [14C]acetate reflects primarily decreased de novo synthesis of cholesterol and of fatty acyl residues incorporated into glycerolipids and sphingolipids. There was a preferentially decreased synthesis of cerebrosides and cholesterol (components enriched in myelin) relative to other lipids, while cholesterol esters and free fatty acids (products of membrane degradation) accounted for a greater proportion of the greatly reduced levels of total lipid label. In contrast to [14C]acetate, incorporation of [3H]glycerol into lipids was increased up to fourfold, relative to control, 1 day after nerve transection.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The effect of hypolipidemic drugs, WY14643 and DH990, on plant lipid metabolism has been studied. The total incorporation of [14C]acetate into lipids was inhibited by addition of both drugs to aged potato (Solanum tuberosum) tuber discs, spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves, and spinach chloroplasts, while the incorporation in Chlorella vulgaris cells was affected only by DH990. Moreover, DH990 inhibited the incorporation of 14C-labeled fatty acids into phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine of potato discs, and decreased the incorporation into phosphatidylglycerol of Chlorella cells. DH990 inhibited the formation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in potato discs, Chlorella cells, and spinach leaves, whereas WY14643 had no effect on the formation of these fatty acids. Stearoyl-ACP desaturase from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) seeds was very sensitive to both drugs, especially DH990, which completely blocked the activity at 2 mM levels. When safflower lysophospholipid acyltransferases were solubilized by detergent treatment, only DH990 inhibited the incorporation of [14C]oleoyl-CoA into lysophosphatidylcholine or lysophosphatidylethanolamine. Both drugs inhibited fatty acid synthesis from [14C]malonyl-CoA in the microsomal fraction from safflower seeds, but only DH990 inhibited FAS activity in the soluble fraction; both drugs inhibited severely the formation of stearic acid. Both acetyl-CoA carboxylase and acetyl-CoA synthetase were sensitive to both drugs.  相似文献

The timing and kinetics of fatty acid synthesis are delineated for Bacillus thuringiensis spore germination and outgrowth by analyzing [U-14C]acetate and [2-3H]glycerol incorporation into chloroform-methanol-extractable and trichloroacetic acid-precipitable lipids. In addition to measurement of pulsed and continuous labeling of fatty acids, monitoring the incorporation of radioactive phenylalanine, thymidine, and uridine from the onset of germination through first cell division provides a profile of biochemical activities related to membrane differentiation and cellular development. Upon germination, ribonucleic acid synthesis is initiated, immediately followed by rapid and extensive fatty acid synthesis that in turn precedes protein, deoxyribonucleic acid and triglyceride synthesis. Significantly, formation of fatty acids from acetate exhibits further developmental periodicity in which a large transient increase in fatty acid synthetic activity coincides with the approach of cell division. Radiorespirometric analyses indicates only slight oxidative decarboxylation of acetate and corroborates the extreme involvement of acetate in specific fatty acid biosynthetic reactions throughout cellular modification. These findings graphically demonstrate an intimate association of fatty acid metabolism with commitment to spore outgrowth and subsequent cell division.  相似文献

This research aims to examine the effect of cadmium uptake on lipid composition and fatty acid biosynthesis, in young leaves of tomato treated seedlings (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Ibiza F1). Results in membrane lipids investigations revealed that high cadmium concentrations affect the main lipid classes, leading to strong changes in their composition and fatty acid content. Thus, the exposure of tomato plants to cadmium caused a concentration-related decrease in the unsaturated fatty acid content, resulting in a lower degree of fatty acid unsaturation. The level of lipid peroxides was significantly enhanced at high Cd concentrations. Studies of the lipid metabolism using radioactive labelling with [1-14C]acetate as a major precursor of lipid biosynthesis, showed that levels of radioactivity incorporation in total lipids as well as in all lipid classes were lowered by Cd doses. In total lipid fatty acids, [1-14C]acetate incorporation was reduced in tri-unsaturated fatty acids (C16:3 and C18:3); While it was enhanced in the palmitic (C16:0), palmitoleic (C16:1), stearic (C18:0) and linoleic (C18:2) acids. [1-14C]acetate incorporation into C16:3 and C18:3 of galactolipids [monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG)] and some phospholipids [phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG)] was inhibited by Cd stress. Our results showed that in tomato plants, cadmium stress provoked an inhibition of polar lipid biosynthesis and reduced fatty acid desaturation process.  相似文献

1. Specific radioactivities of milk triglyceride fatty acids and gamma- and delta-hydroxy fatty acids were measured after the intramammary infusion of [1-(14)C]acetate, delta-hydroxy[1-(14)C]laurate and [1-(14)C]laurate as their sodium salts into fed lactating goats. 2. Net incorporations of the radioactive tracer into the total milk lipids were comparable, being 16, 17 and 21% of the label infused respectively. 3. The specific radioactivities of the C(4)-C(8) fatty acids after [1-(14)C]acetate infusion were lower than those of the C(10)-C(14) fatty acids. 4. After delta-hydroxy[1-(14)C]laurate administration the milk triglyceride fatty acids were labelled and their specific radioactivities were characterized by decreasing values with increasing chain length of the fatty acids, implicating C(4) unit incorporation. 5. The gamma- and delta-hydroxy fatty acids isolated after [1-(14)C]laurate infusion were highly labelled and the milk triglyceride fatty acids, other than laurate, exhibited a labelling pattern similar to that of the fatty acids derived from the radioactive delta-hydroxy fatty acid. 6. Evidence is presented for the existence of saturated fatty acid delta-oxidation in the mammary gland, in which the gamma- and delta-hydroxy fatty acids are active intermediates.  相似文献
