Phospholipids, including ether phospholipids, are composed of numerous isomeric and isobaric species that have the same backbone and acyl chains. This structural resemblance results in similar fragmentation patterns by collision-induced dissociation of phospholipids regardless of class, yielding complicated MS/MS spectra when isobaric species are analyzed together. Furthermore, the presence of isobaric species can lead to misassignment of species when made solely based on their molecular weights. In this study, we used normal-phase HPLC for ESI-MS/MS analysis of phospholipids from bovine heart mitochondria. Class separation by HPLC eliminates chances for misidentification of isobaric species from different classes of phospholipids. Chromatography yields simple MS/MS spectra without interference from isobaric species, allowing clear identification of peaks corresponding to fragmented ions containing monoacylglycerol backbone derived from losing one acyl chain. Using these fragmented ions, we characterized individual and isomeric species in each class of mitochondrial phospholipids, including unusual species, such as PS, containing an ether linkage and species containing odd-numbered acyl chains in cardiolipin, PS, PI, and PG. We also characterized monolysocardiolipin and dilysocardiolipin, the least abundant but nevertheless important mitochondrial phospholipids. The results clearly show the power of HPLC-MS/MS for identification and characterization of phospholipids, including minor species. 相似文献

After biosynthesis, an evolutionarily conserved acyl chain remodeling process generates a final highly homogeneous and yet tissue-specific molecular form of the mitochondrial lipid cardiolipin. Hence, cardiolipin molecules in different organisms, and even different tissues within the same organism, contain a distinct collection of attached acyl chains. This observation is the basis for the widely accepted paradigm that the acyl chain composition of cardiolipin is matched to the unique mitochondrial demands of a tissue. For this hypothesis to be correct, cardiolipin molecules with different acyl chain compositions should have distinct functional capacities, and cardiolipin that has been remodeled should promote cardiolipin-dependent mitochondrial processes better than its unremodeled form. However, functional disparities between different molecular forms of cardiolipin have never been established. Here, we interrogate this simple but crucial prediction utilizing the best available model to do so, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Specifically, we compare the ability of unremodeled and remodeled cardiolipin, which differ markedly in their acyl chain composition, to support mitochondrial activities known to require cardiolipin. Surprisingly, defined changes in the acyl chain composition of cardiolipin do not alter either mitochondrial morphology or oxidative phosphorylation. Importantly, preventing cardiolipin remodeling initiation in yeast lacking TAZ1, an ortholog of the causative gene in Barth syndrome, ameliorates mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, our data do not support the prevailing hypothesis that unremodeled cardiolipin is functionally distinct from remodeled cardiolipin, at least for the functions examined, suggesting alternative physiological roles for this conserved pathway. 相似文献

Cardiolipin is the signature phospholipid of the mitochondrial inner membrane. It participates in shaping the inner membrane as well as in modulating the activity of many membrane-bound proteins. The acyl chain composition of cardiolipin is finely tuned post-biosynthesis depending on the surrounding phospholipids to produce mature or unsaturated cardiolipin. However, experimental evidence showing that immature and mature cardiolipin are functionally equivalents for mitochondria poses doubts on the relevance of cardiolipin remodeling. In this work, we studied the role of cardiolipin acyl chain composition in mitochondrial bioenergetics, including a detailed bioenergetic profile of yeast mitochondria. Cardiolipin acyl chains were modified by genetic and nutritional manipulation. We found that both the bioenergetic efficiency and osmotic stability of mitochondria are dependent on the unsaturation level of cardiolipin acyl chains. It is proposed that cardiolipin remodeling and, consequently, mature cardiolipins play an important role in mitochondrial inner membrane integrity and functionality. 相似文献

Molecular species in the three major mitochondrial lipids cardiolipin, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were analysed in bovine heart and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In both organisms cardiolipin contains mainly diacylglycerol moieties with two unsaturated chains and a significant higher proportion of C18-C18 species than phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. To study whether the specific acyl composition of cardiolipin has a functional significance in lipid-protein interaction, experiments were made with the isolated ADP/ATP carrier of bovine heart mitochondria since this dimeric protein is known to be tightly associated with six molecules of cardiolipin [Beyer, K. and Klingenberg, M. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 3821-3826]. This association seems to be very strong as protein-bound cardiolipin does not exchange with soluble cardiolipin on a time scale of hours. Analysis of the species composition suggests that one carriers dimer is associated with four molecules of tetralinoleoyl cardiolipin and two molecules of trilinoleoyl-monolinolenoyl cardiolipin. Catalytic hydrogenation of the acyl chains of carrier-bound cardiolipin does not result in release of cardiolipin as judged by 31P-NMR spectroscopy. The ADP/ATP carrier was reconstituted with saturated phosphatidylcholines and spin-labelled cardiolipin whose double bonds were subsequently saturated by catalytic hydrogenation. ESR spectroscopy shows that saturation of spin-labelled cardiolipin has no significant impact on its association with the ADP/ATP carrier. However, precipitation of the detergent-solubilized ADP/ATP carrier can only be induced by addition of unsaturated but not by saturated cardiolipin. It is concluded that the specific acyl composition of cardiolipin is not a prerequisite of its high affinity for the ADP/ATP carrier, at least when the protein is reconstituted in a saturated phosphatidylcholine environment. 相似文献

In this article, the formation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cardiolipin is reviewed in light of its biological function. I begin with a detailed account of the structure of cardiolipin, its stereochemistry, and the resulting physical properties, and I present structural analogs of cardiolipin that occur in some organisms. Then I continue to discuss i) the de novo formation of cardiolipin, ii) its acyl remodeling, iii) the assembly of cardiolipin into biological membranes, and iv) the degradation of cardiolipin, which may be involved in apoptosis and mitochondrial fusion. Thus, this article covers the entire metabolic cycle of this unique phospholipid. It is shown that mitochondria produce cardiolipin species with a high degree of structural uniformity and molecular symmetry, among which there is often a dominant form with four identical acyl chains. The subsequent assembly of cardiolipin into functional membranes is largely unknown, but the analysis of crystal structures of membrane proteins has revealed a first glimpse into the underlying principles of cardiolipin-protein interactions. Disturbances of cardiolipin metabolism are crucial in the pathophysiology of human Barth syndrome and perhaps also play a role in diabetes and ischemic heart disease. 相似文献

Premature expression of cyclin B sensitizes human HT1080 cells to caffeine-induced premature mitosis
Eukaryotic cells do not normally initiate mitosis when DNA replication is blocked. This cell cycle checkpoint can be bypassed in some cells, however, by treatment with caffeine and certain other chemicals. Although S-phase arrested hamster cells undergo mitosis-specific events such as premature chromosome condensation (PCC) and nuclear envelope disassembly when exposed to caffeine, human cells show little response under the same conditions. To further investigate the molecular basis of this cell type specificity, a panel of hamster/human whole cell hybrids was created. The frequency of caffeine-induced PCC and the level of cyclin B-associated H1 kinase activity in the various hybrids were directly correlated with the extent of cyclin B synthesis during S-phase arrest. To determine whether expression of cyclin B alone could sensitize human cells to caffeine, cyclin B1 was transiently overexpressed in S-phase arrested HT1080 cells. The transfected cell population displayed a 5-fold increase in the frequency of caffeine-induced PCC when compared with normal HT1080 cells, roughly equivalent to the frequency of cells expressing exogenous epitope-tagged cyclin B1. In addition, immunofluorescent microscopy showed that individual cells overexpressing cyclin B1 during S phase arrest underwent PCC when exposed to caffeine. These results provide direct evidence that premature expression of cyclin B1 can make cells more vulnerable to chemically-induced uncoupling of mitosis from the completion of DNA replication. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 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

Formation of the unique molecular species of mitochondrial cardiolipin requires tafazzin, a transacylase that exchanges acyl groups between phospholipid molecular species without strict specificity for acyl groups, head groups, or carbon positions. However, it is not known whether phospholipid transacylations can cause the accumulation of specific fatty acids in cardiolipin. Here, a model is shown in linear algebra representation, in which acyl specificity emerges from the transacylation equilibrium of multiple molecular species, provided that different species have different free energies. The model defines the conditions and energy terms, under which transacylations may generate the characteristic composition of mitochondrial cardiolipin. It is concluded that acyl-specific cardiolipin patterns could arise from phospholipid transacylations in the tafazzin domain, even if tafazzin itself does not have substrate specificity. 相似文献

Proteolytic enzymes, such as gelatinase/type IV collagenase, play a pivotal role in cancer invasion and metastasis. Invasive human fibrosarcoma cells (HT1080) secrete two species of gelatinase/type IV collagenase, 68-72 kDa and 92 kDa enzymes. The purpose of this study is to elucidate which species of gelatinase/type IV collagenase plays a more important role in invasion. We have found that HT1080 x human fibroblast hybrids have reduced ability to invade a reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel) in vitro compared to HT1080 cells, and abundantly secrete only the 68-72 kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase. These data suggest that the 92 kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase may be more important in HT1080 cell invasion. We next transfected HT1080 genomic DNA into non-invasive mouse C3H/10T1/2 fibroblast cells, which secrete only 68-72 kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase. Four invasive transfectants were established. These invasive transfectants secreted the 92 kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase in addition to the 68-72 kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase, whereas non-invasive control DNA transfectants did not secrete the 92 kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase. These results suggest that the induction of the 92 kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase is important in the invasive phenotype. 相似文献

Induction of p21 (WAF1/CIP1/SDI1), a physiological mediator of cell cycle arrest, inhibits multiple genes involved in cell division. We have investigated the determinants of p21- mediated inhibition of two of these genes, polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) and topoisomerase IIalpha (TOPO IIalpha) p21 expression from an inducible promoter in human HT1080 cells rapidly decreases cellular levels of PLK1 and TOPO IIalpha promoters in transient and stable transfection assays. Promoter mutagenesis studies show that inhibition of the PLK1 promoter by p21 is mediated in part by tandem sequences CDE (cell cycle-dependent element) and CHR (cell cycle genes homology region). p21 response of the TOPO IIalpha promoter inhibition and the effects of promoter mutations differ under the conditions of growth arrest produced by p21 induction or by mimosine, a cell cycle inhibitor that increases p21 RNA but not protein expression in HT1080 cells. These results indicate that inhibition of cell division-associated genes by p21 is mediated by different but overlapping mechanisms, which are not a general con-sequence of cell cycle arrest. 相似文献

Cardiac phospholipids, notably cardiolipin, undergo acyl chain remodeling and/or loss of content in aging and cardiovascular diseases, which is postulated to mechanistically impair mitochondrial function. Less is known about how diet-induced obesity influences cardiac phospholipid acyl chain composition and thus mitochondrial responses. Here we first tested if a high fat diet remodeled murine cardiac mitochondrial phospholipid acyl chain composition and consequently disrupted membrane packing, supercomplex formation and respiratory enzyme activity. Mass spectrometry analyses revealed that mice consuming a high fat diet displayed 0.8–3.3 fold changes in cardiac acyl chain remodeling of cardiolipin, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine. Biophysical analysis of monolayers constructed from mitochondrial phospholipids of obese mice showed impairment in the packing properties of the membrane compared to lean mice. However, the high fat diet, relative to the lean controls, had no influence on cardiac mitochondrial supercomplex formation, respiratory enzyme activity, and even respiration. To determine if the effects were tissue specific, we subsequently conducted select studies with liver tissue. Compared to the control diet, the high fat diet remodeled liver mitochondrial phospholipid acyl chain composition by 0.6–5.3-fold with notable increases in n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturation. The remodeling in the liver was accompanied by diminished complex I to III respiratory enzyme activity by 3.5-fold. Finally, qRT-PCR analyses demonstrated an upregulation of liver mRNA levels of tafazzin, which contributes to cardiolipin remodeling. Altogether, these results demonstrate that diet-induced obesity remodels acyl chains in the mitochondrial phospholipidome and exerts tissue specific impairments of respiratory enzyme activity. 相似文献

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are known to inhibit cell proliferation of many tumour types both in vitro and in vivo.
Their capacity to interfere with cell proliferation has been linked to their induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production
in tumour tissues leading to cell death through apoptosis. However, the exact mechanisms of action of PUFAs are far from clear,
particularly in brain tumours. The loss of bound hexokinase from the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel has been
directly related to loss of protection from apoptosis, and PUFAs can induce this loss of bound hexokinase in tumour cells.
Tumour cells overexpressing Akt activity, including gliomas, are sensitised to ROS damage by the Akt protein and may be good
targets for chemotherapeutic agents, which produce ROS, such as PUFAs. Cardiolipin peroxidation may be an initial event in
the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria, and enriching cardiolipin with PUFA acyl chains may lead to increased peroxidation and therefore an
increase in apoptosis. A better understanding of the metabolism of fatty acids and eicosanoids in primary brain tumours such
as gliomas and their influence on energy balance will be fundamental to the possible targeting of mitochondria in tumour treatment. 相似文献

Cytochrome c (Cytc) is essential in mitochondrial electron transport and intrinsic type II apoptosis. Mammalian Cytc also scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) under healthy conditions, produces ROS with the co-factor p66(Shc), and oxidizes cardiolipin during apoptosis. The recent finding that Cytc is phosphorylated in vivo underpins a model for the pivotal role of Cytc regulation in making life and death decisions. An apoptotic sequence of events is proposed involving changes in Cytc phosphorylation, increased ROS via increased mitochondrial membrane potentials or the p66(Shc) pathway, and oxidation of cardiolipin by Cytc followed by its release from the mitochondria. Cytc regulation in respiration and cell death is discussed in a human disease context including neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and sepsis. 相似文献

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has emerged as a powerful non-invasive tool for cell analysis. It has the capacity to analyse multiple parameters simultaneously, such as cell- number, confluence and phase volume. This is done while cells are still adhered and growing in their culture flask. The aim of this study was to investigate whether DHM was able to monitor drug-induced cell cycle arrest in cultured cells and thus provide a non-disruptive alternative to flow cytometry. DHM parameters from G1 and G2/M cell cycle arrested L929 mouse fibroblast cells were collected. Cell cycle arrest was verified with flow cytometry. This study shows that DHM is able to monitor phase volume changes corresponding to either a G1 or G2/M cell cycle arrest. G1-phase arrest with staurosporine correlated with a decrease in the average cell phase volume and G2/M-phase arrest with colcemid and etoposide correlated with an increase in the average cell phase volume. Importantly, DHM analysis of average cell phase volume was of comparable accuracy to flow cytometric measurement of cell cycle phase distribution as recorded following dose-dependent treatment with etoposide. Average cell phase volume changes in response to treatment with cell cycle arresting compounds could therefore be used as a DHM marker for monitoring cell cycle arrest in cultured mammalian cells. 相似文献

Cardiolipin is a dimeric phospholipid with a characteristic acyl composition that is generated by fatty acid remodeling after de novo synthesis. Several enzymes have been proposed to participate in acyl remodeling of cardiolipin. In order to compare the effect of these enzymes, we determined the pattern of cardiolipin molecular species in Drosophila strains with specific enzyme deletions, using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry with internal standards. We established the linear range of the method for cardiolipin quantification, determined the relative signal intensities of several cardiolipin standards, and demonstrated satisfying signal-to-noise ratios in cardiolipin spectra from a single fly. Our data demonstrate changes in the cardiolipin composition during the Drosophila life cycle. Comparison of cardiolipin spectra, using vector algebra, showed that inactivation of tafazzin had a large effect on the molecular composition of cardiolipin, inactivation of calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) had a small effect, whereas inactivation of acyl-CoA:lysocardiolipin-acyltransferase and of the trifunctional enzyme did not affect the cardiolipin composition. 相似文献

Cells of the mature root exhibit arrest within the G1 and G2 periods of the mitotic cycle. The number of cells arrested with a 2C or 4C DNA amount in mature tissue was compared with that in meristems of excised primary root tips deprived of carbohydrate. Results from four plant species are described. Cells in mature tissue of seedling roots of Vicia and Pisum exhibited arrest predominately at the 4C while those of Triticum and Helianthus arrested preponderantly at the 2C DNA level. The proportion of cells arrested at the 2C and 4C levels in mature root tissue was specific for each species tested. In each species the cycle stage where most cells arrested was the same in carbohydrate-deficient root meristems as in mature root tissue; consequently, most meristematic cells are preconditioned or predetermined to arrest in a specific mitotic period. A test system was developed in Pisum in which the predominant period of arrest was altered by the removal of the cotyledons. The predominant arrest period changed from 4C to 2C in both mature root tissue and carbohydrate-deficient root meristems with cotyledon removal and indicated that mature root cells are preconditioned while meristematic as to where they will eventually arrest in the mitotic cycle. 相似文献

Candida albicans forms unconstricted hyphae in serum-containing medium that are divided into discrete compartments. Time-lapse photomicroscopy, flow cytometry, and a novel three-dimensional imaging system were used to demonstrate that the kinetics and cell cycle events accompanying hyphal development were correlated with dynamic changes in vacuole morphology and the pattern of vacuole inheritance. Apical cells of hyphae underwent continuous extension before and after the first cytokinesis event. However, the resulting mother cell and sub-apical compartments did not immediately reenter the cell cycle and instead underwent cell cycle arrest before reentering the cycle. Vacuole was inherited asymmetrically at cytokinesis so that the distal, arrested compartments inherited most vacuole and the growing apical cell inherited most cytoplasm. Hydroxyurea release experiments demonstrated that the arrested, vacuolated hyphal compartments were in the G1 phase of the cycle. The period of cell cycle arrest was decreased by the provision of assimilatable forms of nitrogen, suggesting that the hyphal cell cycle is regulated by nitrogen limitation that results in sup-apical cell cycle arrest. This pattern of growth is distinct from that of the synchronous, symmetrical development of pseudohyphae of C. albicans and other yeast species. These observations suggest that the cellular vacuole space correlates with alterations in the cell cycles of different cell types and that the total organelle space may influence size-regulated functions and hence the timing of the eukaryotic cell cycle. 相似文献

Technical advances in lipidomic analysis have generated tremendous amounts of quantitative lipid molecular species data, whose value has not been fully explored. We describe a novel computational method to infer mechanisms of de novo lipid synthesis and remodeling from lipidomic data. We focus on the mitochondrial-specific lipid cardiolipin (CL), a polyglycerol phospholipid with four acyl chains. The lengths and degree of unsaturation of these acyl chains vary across CL molecules, and regulation of these differences is important for mitochondrial energy metabolism. We developed a novel mathematical approach to determine mechanisms controlling the steady-state distribution of acyl chain combinations in CL . We analyzed mitochondrial lipids from 18 types of steady-state samples, each with at least 3 replicates, from mouse brain, heart, lung, liver, tumor cells, and tumors grown in vitro. Using a mathematical model for the CL remodeling mechanisms and a maximum likelihood approach to infer parameters, we found that for most samples the four chain positions have an independent and identical distribution, indicating they are remodeled by the same processes. Furthermore, for most brain samples and liver, the distribution of acyl chains is well-fit by a simple linear combination of the pools of acyl chains in phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylglycerol (PG). This suggests that headgroup chemistry is the key determinant of acyl donation into CL, with chain length/saturation less important. This canonical remodeling behavior appears damaged in some tumor samples, which display a consistent excess of CL molecules having particular masses. For heart and lung, the "proportional incorporation" assumption is not adequate to explain the CL distribution, suggesting additional acyl CoA-dependent remodeling that is chain-type specific. Our findings indicate that CL remodeling processes can be described by a small set of quantitative relationships, and that bioinformatic approaches can help determine these processes from high-throughput lipidomic data. 相似文献
