The release of arachidonate was stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in a murine macrophage-like cell line, RAW264.7. We measured phospholipase activities in cell-free homogenates of macrophages with 2-arachidonyl PC, PE, and PI as substrates. The activities of two phospholipases A2, catalyzing cleavage of arachidonate preferentially either from PC or PE, were detected. These two phospholipase A2 activities showed different pH optima and Ca2+ requirements; the cleavage of arachidonate from PC showed an optimal pH of 7.0 and was Ca2+-dependent, while that from PE showed an optimal pH of 7.5 but was Ca2+-independent. The cleavage of arachidonate from PI showed a different pH profile and was Ca2+-dependent, and diglyceride (DG) was detected as well as arachidonate, suggesting that both phospholipase C and DG lipase participate in this reaction. We next examined these phospholipase activities in homogenates of macrophages pretreated with LPS. All of the phospholipase activities increased at 0.5 h after LPS treatment, and this level was retained for more than 2 h in 2-arachidonyl PC degradation, continued up to 1 h and then dropped to the control level in 2-arachidonyl PE degradation, and suddenly dropped to the control level after 0.5 h in 2-arachidonyl PI degradation. These results suggest that the cleavage of 2-arachidonate from PC, PE, and PI is essentially catalyzed through different pathways, two phospholipase A2 activities being involved in PC and PE breakdown, and phospholipase C and DG lipase activities in PI breakdown, and that the activities of these substrate-specific phospholipases change in response to LPS treatment in macrophages. 相似文献

The role of Ca2+ in phospholipid metabolism and arachidonic acid release was studied in guinea pig neutrophils. The chemotactic peptide formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenyl-alanine (fMLP) activated [32P]Pi incorporation into phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidic acid (PA) without any effects on the labeling of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylserine (PS). This activation was observed in Ca2+-free medium. Even in the neutrophils severely deprived of Ca2+ with EGTA and Ca2+ ionophore A23187, the stimulated labeling was not inhibited. When [3H]arachidonic acid-labeled neutrophils were stimulated by fMLP, a loss of [3H]arachidonic acid moiety in PI and the resultant increase in [3H]arachidonyl-diacylglycerol (DG), -PA, and free [3H]arachidonic acid was marked within 3 min. With further incubation, a loss of [3H]arachidonic acid in PC and PE became significant. These results suggest the activation of phospholipase C preceded the activation of phospholipase A2. In Ca2+-free medium, the decrease in [3H]arachidonyl-PI and the increase in [3H]arachidonyl-PA were only partially inhibited, although the release of [3H]arachidonic acid and a loss of [3H]arachidonyl-PC and -PE was completely blocked. These results show that PI-specific phospholipase C was not as sensitive to Ca2+ deprivation as arachidonic acid cleaving enzymes, phospholipase A2, and diacylglycerol lipase. Ca2+ ionophore A23187, which is known as an inducer of secretion, also stimulated [32P]Pi incorporation into PI and PA, although the incorporation into other phospholipids, such as PC and PE, was inhibited. This stimulated incorporation seemed to be caused by the activation of de novo synthesis of these lipids, because the incorporation of [3H]glycerol into PA and PI was also markedly stimulated by Ca2+ ionophore. But the chemotactic peptide did not increase the incorporation of [3H]glycerol into any glycerolipids including PI and PA. Thus, it is clear that fMLP mainly activates the pathway, PI leads to DG leads to PA, whereas Ca2+ ionophore activates the de novo synthesis of acidic phospholipids. When [3H]arachidonic acid-labeled neutrophils were treated with Ca2+ ionophore, the enhanced release of arachidonic acid and the accumulation of [3H]arachidonyl-DG, -PA with a concomitant decrease in [3H]arachidonyl-PC, -PE, and -PI were observed. Furthermore, the Ca2+ ionophore stimulated the formation of lysophospholipids, such as LPC, LPE, LPI, and LPA nonspecifically. These data suggest that Ca2+ ionophore releases arachidonic acid, unlike fMLP, directly from PC, PE, and PI, mainly by phospholipase A2. When neutrophils were stimulated by fMLP, the formation of LPC and LPE was observed by incubation for more than 3 min. Because a loss of arachidonic acid from PI occurred rapidly in response to fMLP, it seems likely the activation of PI-specific phospholipase C occurred first and was followed by the activation of phospholipase A2 when neutrophils are activated by fMLP... 相似文献

We observed that in hypoxic myocardial cells prostacyclin and arachidonic acid release increased and that during hypoxia phospholipid degradation also occurred. In order to clarify the mechanism of phospholipid degradation, we determined the activity of phospholipases A2 and C. We found that phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were markedly decreased and that lysophosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine were increased. In contrast, there was only slight phosphatidylinositol degradation and no lysophosphatidylinositol elevation was observed. These results show that phospholipase A2 was activated in hypoxic myocytes and had substrate specificity towards PC and PE. To study phospholipase C activity, membrane phospholipids were labeled with [3H]choline, [3H]inositol or [3H]ethanolamine. The release of inositol was observed, but neither choline nor ethanolamine was released. In hypoxia, myocardial-cell phospholipase C has high substrate specificity towards phosphatidylinositol. The activation of phospholipases is closely related to the intracellular Ca2+ concentration; it is though that inositol polyphosphatides may regulate intracellular Ca2+. We determined how Ca2+ influx occurs in hypoxia. beta-Adrenergic blockade and Ca2+ antagonists markedly suppressed Ca2+ influx, phospholipase A2 activity, phospholipase C activity and cell death. However, the alpha 1-adrenergic blockade was less effective in suppressing these phenomena. These results suggest that in hypoxic myocardial cells Ca2+ influx mediated by beta-adrenergic stimulation activates phospholipases A2 and C, and that phospholipid degradation and prostacyclin release then occur. 相似文献

An expression of UDP-glucose:poriferasterol glucosyltransferase activity associated with differentiation of a true slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, from haploid myxoamoebae to diploid plasmodia was demonstrated. In the haploid cells, this enzyme activity was not detected, but after conjugation of the myxoamoebae, the enzyme activity was expressed and increased definitely. In the plasmodial stage, high enzyme activity was maintained constantly. The enzyme was partially purified (35-fold purification, and 28% yield), and molecular weight of 72,000, pH optimum of 7.0, and some characteristics were demonstrated. 相似文献

Significant amounts of phospholipid N-methyltransferase activity in murine thymocytes were found to be distributed on the plasma membrane. The enzyme activity had an optimum pH of 9. The presence of divalent cations, Mg2+ (10 mM) or Ca2+ (1 mM), and EGTA separately in the assay had only a small effect on the enzyme activity. However, addition of both 10 mM Mg2+ and 1 mM Ca2+ increased the enzyme activity. The presence of two enzymes for each conversion of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PME) and PME to phosphatidylcholine (PC) was suggested by the result of the determination of the incorporated radioactivity into PME, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine (PDE) and PC; the apparent Km values for S-adenosyl-L-methionine were 20 and 400-500 microM for the conversion of PE to PME and for the conversion of PME to PC they were 5 microM and 40 microM. S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy), a known inhibitor of enzymatic methylation, competitively inhibited [14C]methyl incorporation into total lipid. The apparent Ki value for AdoHcy was 44.7 microM. Two phospholipid N-methyltransferases were partially purified by extraction with sodium deoxycholate, gel filtration on Sephadex G-75, and affinity column chromatography on AdoHcy-Sepharose. One enzyme, mainly catalyzing the formation of PME, was purified approximately 1548-fold and the other catalyzing the formation of PDE and PC, was purified approximately 629- to 703-fold. However, the former still contained a little activity for PDE and PC formation and the latter contained a little activity for PME formation. In these partially purified phospholipid N-methyltransferase preparations, little contaminating protein O-carboxylmethyltransferase activity was observed; however, significant PC-phospholipase A2 activity was detected. This result may suggest that phospholipid N-methyltransferases associate with phospholipase A2 in the thymocyte plasma membrane. 相似文献

The interactions of PE and its N-methylated derivatives (PME, PDE AND PC) WITH Ca2+ were examined. PE and the intermediate phospholipids of PE N-methylation (PME and PDE) interacted with Ca2+ in a pH-dependent and reversible manner. When these phospholipids were present in the heptane phase, Ca2+ in the aqueous phase was translocated into the heptane phase at alkaline pH but not at acidic pH. PDE was also effective for the translocation even at around neutral pH, while PC hardly translocated Ca2+ at pH 6.0-9.2. The amounts of Ca2+ interacting with these phospholipids were in the following order: PDE is greater than PME is greater than PE is much greater than PC. P1, phosphatidic acid and PS interacted with Ca2+ in the whole pH range examined. The Ca2+ interactions with P1 and phosphatidic acid were independent of pH, while PS interacted with more Ca2+ at alkaline pH. These phospholipids interacted with Ca2+ most strongly among the cations studied. Liposomes containing PDE also bound the highest amounts Ca2+ among PE and its N-methylated derivatives. Furthermore, mammalian cultured cell membranes, which contain increased amounts of PDE by in vivo modification with N,N'-dimethylethanolamine, bound more Ca2+ than those prepared from choline-treated control cells. 相似文献

Quantitative loss of individual eicosapentaenoyl-relative to arachidonoyl-containing phospholipids in thrombin-stimulated human platelets 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The thrombin-dependent losses of eicosapentaenoate (EPA) from the various phospholipids of platelets derived from human subjects ingesting a fish lipid concentrate (MaxEPA) were quantitatively assessed and studied in relation to arachidonate (AA). The net loss of AA and EPA from the total phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine (PC) + phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) + phosphatidylserine (PS) + phosphatidylinositol (PI) (loss from phosphatidylinositol minus accumulated phosphatidate), amounted to 44.4 and 7.3 nmol/2 x 10(9) platelets (mean values, n = 4 subjects), respectively, in response to thrombin (2 units/ml). The phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine (including alkenylacyl), phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylinositol contributed 46, 17, less than 5, and 33%, respectively, of the AA loss; in contrast to these distributions, the corresponding phospholipid contributions to the net loss of EPA were 71, 27, less than 1, and less than 2%, respectively. Furthermore, the inhibition of AA- and EPA-phospholipid degradation by trifluoperazine indicated that almost all of the release of EPA occurs from PC and PE (greater than 95% of total EPA loss) upon thrombin stimulation and is mediated predominantly via phospholipase A2 activity with almost no contribution from PI. Similarities in the molar ratios of AA/EPA in the PC (3.9) or PE (3.7) which were degraded with those in the corresponding phospholipids from resting platelets suggested no marked selectivity by the phospholipase A2 in intact thrombin-stimulated human platelets in the hydrolysis of AA-PC (or AA-PE) versus EPA-PC (or EPA-PE). Quantitation of the newly released free AA and EPA was determined in the presence of BW755C, a dual cyclooxygenase/lipoxygenase inhibitor which was found not to influence the degradation of individual AA- and EPA-containing phospholipids.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Kinetic analysis of the Ca2+-dependent, membrane-bound, macrophage phospholipase A2 and the effects of arachidonic acid 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The kinetics of the Ca2+-dependent, alkaline pH optimum, membrane-bound phospholipase A2 from the P388D1 macrophage-like cell line were studied using various phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) substrates. This enzyme exhibits "surface dilution kinetics" toward PC in Triton X-100 mixed micelles, and the "dual phospholipid model" was found to adequately describe its kinetic behavior. With substrate in the form of sonicated vesicles, the dual phospholipid model should give rise to Michaelis-Menten type kinetics. However, the hydrolysis of dipalmitoyl-PC, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-PC, and 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-PC vesicles exhibited two distinct activities. Below 10 microM, the data appeared to follow Michaelis-Menten behavior, while at higher concentrations, the data could best be fit to a Hill equation with a Hill coefficient of 2. These PCs had Vmax values for the low substrate concentration range of 0.2-0.6 nmol min-1 mg-1 and Km values of 1-2 microM. At the high substrate concentration range, the Vmax values were between 5 and 7 nmol min-1 mg-1. PC containing unsaturated fatty acids had an apparent Km, determined from the Hill equation, of about 15 microM, while the apparent Km of dipalmitoyl-PC was 0.6 microM. When 70% glycerol was included in the assays, a single Michaelis-Menten curve was obtained for both dipalmitoyl-PC and 1-stearoyl,2-arachidonoyl-PC. Possible explanations for these kinetic results include reconstitution of the membrane-bound phospholipase A2 in the phospholipid vesicle or the enzyme has tow distinct phospholipid binding function. The kinetics for both dipalmitoyl-PC and dipalmitoyl-PE hydrolysis in vesicles was very similar, indicating that the enzyme does not greatly prefer one of these head groups over the other. The enzyme also showed no preference for arachidonoyl containing phospholipid. Enzymatic activity toward PC containing saturated fatty acids was linear to about 15% hydrolysis while the hydrolysis of PC containing unsaturated fatty acids was linear to only about 5%. This loss of linearity was due to inhibition by released unsaturated fatty acids. Arachidonic acid was found to be a competitive inhibitor of dipalmitoyl PC hydrolysis with a K1 of 5 microM. This tight binding suggests a possible in vivo regulatory role for arachidonic acid. Three compounds of the arachidonic acid cascade, prostaglandin F2 alpha, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha, and thromboxane B2, showed no inhibition of enzymatic activity. 相似文献

Phospholipid and phospholipase changes by jasmonic acid during stolon to tuber transition of potato 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Potato tuber formation starts with the stolon swelling and is regulated by jasmonates. The cascade of events leading to tuber
formation is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate phospholipid composition and phospholipase activities
during four stages of stolon-to-tuber transition of Solanum tuberosum L., cv. Spunta, and involvement of phosphatidic acid (PA) in stolon cell expansion during early stages. Effects of jasmonic
acid (JA) treatment on phospholipid content and activation of phospholipase D (PLD) (EC 3.1.4.4) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate-specific
phospholipase C (PIP2-PLC) (EC 3.1.4.3) were studied in the early stages (first stage, hooked apex stolon; second stage, initial swelling stolon)
of tuberization. All the phospholipid species identified, phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylcholine
(PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), PA, and cardiolipin (CL), decreased as tuber formation progressed.
PLD and PLC were activated in control tissues at an early stage. JA treatment caused a decrease of PC and PS in first stage
stolons, accumulation of PA in second stage stolons, and modification of PLD and PLC activities. PA increased stolon cell
area in the first and second stages. These findings indicate that phospholipid catabolism is activated from the early stages
of tuber formation, and that JA treatment modifies the pattern of phospholipid (PC, PS, and PA) composition and phospholipase
(PLD and PLC) activity. These phospholipids therefore may play a role in activation of an intracellular mechanism that switches
the developmental fate of stolon meristem cells, causing differentiation into a tuber. 相似文献

Phospholipase A2 activity in lysates of mast cells such as rat mastocytoma RBL-2H3 cells and mouse bone marrow-derived IL-3-dependent mast cells (BMMC) was measured using phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), or phosphatidylserine (PS) as a substrate. Both types of cells exhibited phospholipase A2 activity with a similar pH profile; the optimum pH observed with PS as a substrate was 5.5-7.4, whereas that with PE or PC was 8.0-9.0. PE and PC bearing an arachidonate at the sn-2 position were cleaved more efficiently by PE, PC-hydrolyzing phospholipase A2 than phospholipids with a linoleate. A monoclonal antibody raised against rabbit platelet 85-kDa cytosolic phospholipase A2 absorbed the PE, PC-hydrolyzing activity. PS-hydrolyzing activity was purified from RBL-2H3 cells and BMMC by sequential heparin-Sepharose, butyl-Toyo-pearl, and reverse-phase HPLC. On reverse-phase HPLC, the PS-hydrolyzing activity of RBL cells was separated into two peaks, A and B. The peak B activity was inhibited by the anti-rat 14-kDa group II phospholipase A2 antibody, while the peak A activity was not. The partially purified peak A activity hydrolyzed PS about 10-fold more efficiently than PE at optimum pH of 5.5-7.4. No appreciable hydrolysis was observed with PC or phosphatidylinositol (PI). Thus, mast cells may express at least three distinct phospholipases A2; 14-kDa group II phospholipase A2, 85-kDa cytosolic arachidonate preferential phospholipase A2, and a novel phospholipase A2 that shows high substrate specificity for PS. 相似文献

Primary cultures of mouse embryo palate mesenchyme cells were incubated with [3H]arachidonic acid and [14C]stearic acid in order to radiolabel their lipids. The cells were then washed, collected by centrifugation, and homogenized. Incubation of the homogenates under various conditions revealed that deoxycholate inhibited phospholipase A activity and stimulated a phospholipase C activity in these cells which preferentially degraded phosphatidylinositol (PI) compared to phosphatidylcholine (PC), -ethanolamine (PE), and -serine (PS). Expression of this phospholipase C (E.C. 3.1.4.10) activity was dependent on Ca2+ and had a pH optimum of no more than 7.0-7.5. Centrifugation of the homogenates at 105,000g for 30 min produced a membranous fraction that contained phospholipase C activity with characteristics similar to those of the enzyme found in the supernatant. Such a dual distribution of this enzyme may reflect that mouse embryo palate mesenchyme cells are neural crest in origin. 相似文献

A glycolipid which was expressed during a differentiation from haploid myxoamoebae to diploid plasmodia of a true slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, has been examined. In the amoeboid stage, cells did not contain this glycolipid, but after conjugation of the haploid cells, this substance appeared and increased in its amount. From structural studies of the purified glycolipid, it has been identified as poriferasterol monoglucoside. 相似文献

A high level of arachidonic acid release from [2-14C]arachidonylphosphatidylinositol (PI) was observed at neutral pH (6.0-7.0) in the presence of purified plasma membranes of guinea pig peritoneal macrophages. This activity was at least 10-fold higher than that with arachidonylphosphatidylcholine (PC) or phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) as substrate. The accumulation of [14C]diacylglycerol and [14C]phosphatidic acid was not detected at any time, and arachidonic acid release from [14C]arachidonyldiacylglycerol was not detectable either. The data suggest that arachidonic acid release from PI may not occur via the phospholipase C pathway. In this paper, we demonstrate the possibility that arachidonic acid release from PI at neutral pH in the macrophage plasma membrane is dependent on the action of phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4) -like activity. The maximum arachidonic acid release was dependent upon both pH and substrate. Particularly, the activity of arachidonic acid release from PI at neutral pH was very high compared with that from PC or PE. We suggest that phosphatidylinositol phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.52) may play an important role in providing arachidonic acid for subsequent metabolic activity in the macrophages. 相似文献

The role of the phospholipid environment in modulating the activity of the rat brain synaptic plasma membrane (SPM) Ca2(+)-ATPase was investigated by its reconstitution into different phospholipids. Retention of activity of the solubilized Ca2(+)-ATPase depended on addition of exogenous phospholipids. As the cholate concentration used for solubilization of native SPM increased, a larger excess of exogeneous phospholipids, relative to membrane protein, had to be added to maintain optimal activity. Highest ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport activity was obtained when reconstitution was carried out in calf brain phospholipids (BPLs) followed by soybean phospholipids (SPLs) and the lowest in egg PC; reconstitution at a 40:1 weight ratio of exogenous phospholipids to native SPM protein resulted in ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport of 40.0 +/- 4.16, 23.4 +/- 8.48, and 11.54 +/- 2.31 nmol of Ca2+ (mg of protein)-1 (5 min)-1, respectively. Partial substitution of egg PC with BPLs led to an increase in the activity of the reconstituted Ca2+ pump. The highest ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake was obtained when ratios of 15:25 or 10:30 egg PC to BPLs were used. Testing the individual phospholipids participating in the BPL mixture showed that addition of PS to egg PC led to a consistent increase in Ca2+ pump activity. Substitution of 50% of the PC with PS resulted in a 3.8-fold higher ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake than that obtained in egg PC alone. No other phospholipid tested--PE, SM, or PI--had a similar effect. Increasing the proportion of PS within the BPL mixture above its original content led to a gradual decrease in the reconstituted SPM Ca2+ pump activity. Enrichment of asolectin with PS led first to increased Ca2+ pump activity; then, as the proportion of PS increased, Ca2+ transport of the reconstituted pump decreased. An increased proportion of PE, SM, or PI within the BPLs or asolectin, above their original contents, resulted in decreased Ca2+ transport. These results indicate that optimal SPM Ca2+ pump activity requires the combined presence of a critical amount of PC and PS within the reconstituted membrane. 相似文献

Lipid peroxidation and phospholipase A2 activity in liposomes composed of unsaturated phospholipids: a structural basis for enzyme activation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The effect of lipid peroxidation on membrane structure and phospholipase A2 activity was studied using liposomes composed of bovine liver phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The phospholipids were mixed at set ratios and sonicated to yield small unilamellar vesicles. The liposome preparations were subjected to lipid peroxidation as induced by cumene hydroperoxide and hematin. Under these conditions, a sharp increase in lipid peroxidation was noted over a 30 min incubation period and was accompanied by loss of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Liposomes enriched in PE were most extensively peroxidized with a preferred oxidation of this phospholipid. The extent of PC oxidation was also greater in liposomes containing the largest proportions of PE. Analysis of liposome anisotropy, via steady-state fluorescence polarization of diphenylhexatriene indicated that progressive increases in either PE content or the level of lipid peroxidation increased the apparent microviscosity of the vesicles. Moreover, lipid peroxidation increased anisotropy more effectively than variations in the ratios of PE vs. PC. Thus, peroxidation of 5-10% of the phospholipids produced the same anisotropy increase as a 20% increase in the ratio of PE vs. PC. Analysis of vesicle turbidity suggested that fusion was also more readily achieved through lipid peroxidation. When liposomes were incubated with 0.4 U/ml of snake venom phospholipase A2, a direct correlation was found between the degree of lipid peroxidation and the extent of phospholipid hydrolysis. The more unsaturated phospholipid, PE, was most extensively hydrolyzed following peroxidation. Increasing the proportion of PE also resulted in more extensive phospholipid hydrolysis. These findings indicate that lipid peroxidation produces a general increase in membrane viscosity which is associated with vesicle instability and enhanced phospholipase A2 attack. A structural basis for membrane phospholipase A2 activation as a consequence of lipid peroxidation is discussed in light of these findings. 相似文献

Elicitation of cell cultures of Silybum marianum with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) increases the production and release of the secondary metabolite silymarin into the culture
medium and this process seems to be dependent on phospholipase D activity and its product phosphatidic acid (PA). However,
MeJA did not alter total membrane lipid content or overall fatty acid composition. A progressive increase in some galactolipids
was observed with elicitation time. Phospholipids were mainly represented by phosphatidylcholine (PC) followed by phosphatidylethanolamine
(PE) and phosphatidylinositol (PI). MeJA caused losses of PC species that contain two unsaturated acyl species, 36:5 and 36:6
and an increase in 36:2 species. A drop in the ratio of compounds with 18:3 in PI and PE was also observed. The presence of
the lysophospholipids (LP) LPC (16:0, 18:3, 18:2, 18:1) and LPE (16:0, 18:3, 18:2, 18:1) and the high contents of PA, represented
by the molecular species 34:3, 34:2 and 36:5 and 36:4, indicates high basal level of phospholipase activity in cultures and
a high phospholipid turnover. MeJA treatment did not quantitatively alter these lipid classes. 相似文献

An endogenous system in the membranes of rat liver endoplasmic reticulum is capable upon Ca2+ activation of considerable disruption of normal structure and function. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and to a lesser extent phosphatidylcholine (PC) are degraded to hydrophilic products. This lipid loss is greater at an alkaline pH, preferentially utilizes millimolar Ca2+ rather than Mg2+ ions, and is inhibited by KCl. Diethyl ether has no effect on the rate of loss of PE or PC, and the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 does not lower the Ca2+ requirement. Phospholipids are most likely lost from the membranes in a two-step process. Lysophospholipids generated in the first, Ca2+-dependent step are removed by an endogenous lysophospholipase demonstrated by the hydrolysis of either added lyso PE or lysophospholipids generated from endogenous substrates by Naja naja phospholipase A2. The depletion of microsomal membrane phospholipid is accompanied by a loss of glucose 6-phosphatase and of cytochrome P-450. The latter is not associated with any change in total heme content. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed no difference between the pattern or relative amounts of solubilized membrane proteins before or after depletion of membrane phospholipid. It is concluded that activation of an endogenous phospholipase by Ca2+ can result in significant depletion of PE and PC that is accompanied by considerable disruption of membrane function. The significance of this system with respect to the maintenance of cell integrity and its possible role in cell injury are discussed. 相似文献

The phospholipid and fatty acid composition and role of phospholipids in enzyme and transport function of gastric (H++K+)-ATPase vesicles was studied using phospholipase A2 (bee venom). The composition (%) was phosphatidylcholine (PC) 33%; sphingomyelin (sph) 25%; phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) 22%; phosphatidylserine (PS) 11%; and phosphatidylinositol (PI) 8%. The fatty acid composition showed a high degree of unsaturation. In both fresh and lyophilized preparations, even with prolonged incubation, only 50% of phospholipids were hydrolyzed, but the amount of PE and PS disappearing was increased following lyophilization. There was a marked decrease in K+-ATPase activity (75%) but essentially no loss of the associated K+ p-nitrophenyl phosphatase was found. ATPase activity could be largely restored by various phospholipids (PE > PC > PS). There was also an increase in Mg2+-ATPase activity, partially reversed in fresh preparations by the addition of phospholipids (PE > PS > PC). Proton transport activity of the preparation was rapidly inhibited, initially due to a large increase in the HC1 permeability of the preparation. Associated with these enzymatic and functional changes, the ATP-induced conformational changes, as indicated by circular dichroism spectra were inhibited. 相似文献

Macrophages are an important source of the lipid mediators, arachidonic acid metabolites and platelet-activating factor (PAF), produced during inflammation. Studies were undertaken to identify the phospholipid substrates that can serve as a source of arachidonic acid in human monocyte-derived macrophages exposed to the inflammatory stimuli bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and opsonized zymosan (OpZ). Since PAF is derived from 1-alkyl-2-acyl-glycerophosphocholine, it was of interest to determine if this phospholipid precursor could also serve as a source of arachidonic acid. The day-5 macrophages incorporated 38% of the available [3H]arachidonic acid into lipid by 4 h, 54% of which was in phospholipid [phosphatidylcholine (PC) greater than phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) greater than phosphatidylinositol (PI)]. The proportion of label incorporated into ether-linked PC and PE increased with time. After prelabelling with [3H]arachidonic acid, the effect of stimuli on the redistribution of label within phospholipids was followed. Without stimulus there was a loss of label from PC, PI and phosphatidic acid by 3 h, but an increase of label in PE. The [3H]arachidonic acid that was lost from PC in the absence of stimulus was derived solely from the 1-acyl-linked species of PC, whereas an increase in label occurred in the 1-alkyl-linked species of PC. By contrast, LPS stimulation resulted in a preferential, dose-dependent loss of label from PC and PI, which was maximal between 1 and 3 h after adding the LPS. In addition, LPS induced a 35% decrease in the molar quantity of PI in the macrophages but had no effect on the quantity of PC, PE or phosphatidylserine. Stimulation with OpZ also resulted in a loss of label, mainly from PC and PI. Of the total label lost from PC in response to LPS or OpZ, approx. 50% was derived from the 1-alkyl-linked species. The results suggest that phospholipase C- and phospholipase A2-mediated mechanisms for arachidonic acid release are activated in human macrophages exposed to the inflammatory stimuli LPS and OpZ. In addition, 1-alkyl-linked PC can serve as a source of arachidonic acid and as a precursor for PAF production in the stimulated macrophages. 相似文献

Phospholipase activity was studied in the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis NT-1 by using exogenous phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. Several phospholipase activities were found in Tetrahymena homogenates. They were distinguished with respect to pH optimum, activity dependence on Ca2+, substrate specificity and positional specificity. Ca2+-Dependent phospholipase activity had an optimal pH around 9 and gave rise to free fatty acid and lysophospholipid. This enzyme hydrolyzes phosphatidylethanolamine but not phosphatidylcholine. The alkaline phospholipase with A1 activity was located mainly in the surface membrane (pellicle fraction). The enzyme activity had a pH optimum ranging from 8 to 9, and required 2 mM CaCl2 for the maximal activity. All detergents tested inhibited the enzyme activity. Ca2+-Independent phospholipase activity had an optimal pH from 4 to 5 and gave rise to free fatty acid, lysophospholipid, diacylglycerol, and monoacylglycerol. We concluded that there are at least three phospholipase in Tetrahymena homogenates, i.e., alkaline phospholipase A and acidic phospholipases A and C. 相似文献
