A comparison of the occurrence, fatty acid composition, and metabolism of phosphatidyglycerol and phosphatidylcholine in the surfactant and residual fraction of rat lung has been carried out. The surfactant and residual fractions were separated by discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The surfactant fraction was found to contain 69 percent phosphatidylcholine and 7 percent phosphatidylglycerol. The residual fraction contained 46 percent phosphatidylcholine and 3 percent phosphatidylglycerol. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol were found to contain 85 and 79 percent palmitate in the surfactant fraction and 67 and 68 percent in the residual fraction, respectively. Isolated rat lungs were perfused with medium containing [U-14C]glucose, [9,10-3H]palmitate, and [1-14C]acetate and the incorporation into palmitate isolated from the alpha and beta position of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol was determined. Each radioactive substrate was found to be incorporated into palmitate of phosphatidylcholine equally at the alpha and beta position of the surfactant fraction. In the residual fraction the specific activity of the beta position palmitate was found to be twice that of the alpha position. The incorporation of [9,10-3H]palmitate and [1-14C]acetate into palmitate at the alpha and beta positions of phosphatidylglycerol was similar in both the surfactant and residual fractions. In each case palmitate at the alpha position had approximately twice the specific activity of that at the beta position. The incorporation of [U-14C]glucose into phosphatidylglycerol of the surfactant fraction was, however, greater in palmitate at the beta position than at the alpha. The results show that phosphatidylglycerol is associated with the lung surfactant fraction and suggest that palmitate esterified to the alpha and beta positions of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine occurs at different rates and is dependent upon the precursor source of palmitate. 相似文献

It is not yet completely understood how a cell is able to export specific phospholipids, like dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (dipalmitoyl-PC), which is secreted by pneumocytes type II, into pulmonary surfactant. The acyl species composition of [3H]PC which was synthesized in type II cells in the presence of [2-3H]glycerol resembled the species composition of PC localized in intracellular pneumocyte membranes. This species pattern was different from the pattern of PC of lamellar bodies, i.e., intracellularly stored surfactant, by a higher proportion of dipalmitoyl-PC mainly at expense of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-PC. Lamellar body PC in turn showed the same species distribution as surfactant PC. The data suggest that subcellular compartmentation and/or intracellular transfer of PC destined to storage in lamellar bodies, but not secretion of lamellar bodies, involves an enrichment of dipalmitoyl-PC and a depletion of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-PC. In contrast, the acyl species pattern of phosphatidylglycerol does not seem to undergo gross changes on the path from synthesis to secretion. 相似文献

Summary The mitochondrial fraction of adult rat lung contains choline phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.2) activity which can not be explained by microsomal contamination estimated on the basis of marker enzyme distribution. Mitochondrial (14C)glycerol-3-phosphate incorporation into PC (phosphatidylcholine) can be distinguished from the microsomal incorporation by different sensitivity to N-ethylmaleimide inhibition. The data indicate that rat lung mitochondria have the intrinsic capability to synthesize PC. Both synthesis of PC and PG (phosphatidylglycerol) are susceptible to isotonic tryptic attack against the cytoplasmic face of isolated rat lung mitochondria, suggesting the outer membrane location of crucial activities involved in the formation of these phospholipids. Rat liver mitochondria are different from rat lung mitochondria with respect to their capability to synthesize PC, their rate of (14C)glycerol-3-phosphate incorporation into PG as well as the submitochondrial site of PG formation.Abbreviations PC

Effect of CO 2 concentration on phospholipid metabolism in the isolated perfused rat lung 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Studies have been carried out on the incorporation of [U-(14)C]glucose, [2-(14)C]pyruvate, [2-(14)C]acetate, and [1-(14)C]-palmitate into the phospholipids of the isolated perfused rat lung in the presence of either 6 or 45 mm total CO(2) concentration in the perfusion medium. Incorporation of [U-(14)C]glucose into total phospholipid and into the phosphatidylcholine fraction was increased 19-53% over the 2-hr perfusion period in lungs perfused with medium containing 45 as compared with 6 mm CO(2). The incorporation of [2-(14)C]acetate, [2-(14)C]-pyruvate, and [1-(14)C]palmitate was not affected by the change in medium CO(2) concentration. Increased incorporation of [U-(14)C]glucose combined with a shift toward greater incorporation into the fatty acids of the phosphatidylcholine fraction produced a maximum increase of 90% in [U-(14)C]glucose incorporation into the fatty acids of phosphatidylcholine after 2 hr of perfusion in the presence of medium containing 45 mm CO(2) as compared with 6 mm CO(2). The increase in medium CO(2) concentration produced as much as a 150% increase in [U-(14)C]glucose incorporation into palmitate derived from the phosphatidylcholine fraction. The results provide evidence that glucose functions as an important precursor of palmitate in the phosphatidylcholine fraction of lung phospholipids and that the CO(2) concentration of the perfusion medium affects the incorporation of glucose into palmitate. 相似文献

Effects of experimental acute pancreatitis in dogs on metabolism of lung surfactant phosphatidylcholine 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis was produced in the dogs by transduodenal injection of autologous bile into the main pancreatic duct. There was no significant change in the activity of three regulatory enzymes of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis (glycerophosphate acyltransferase, cytidyltransferase and cholinephosphotransferase) in lung; however, there was a 42% decrease in the amount of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (surfactant) in lung lavage due to acute pancreatitis. The decrease in lavage phospholipid content was associated with 5-fold increase in phospholipase A2 activity of lung lavage, and massive accumulation of osmiophilic spheroid structures in the alveolar space. 相似文献

Stable isotope labelling of lipid precursors coupled with mass spectrometry-based lipidomic analyses and determination of isotope enrichment in substrate, intermediate and product pools provide the parameters needed to determine absolute flux rates through lipid pathways in vivo. Here, as an illustration of the power of such analyses we investigated lung phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis in Surfactant Protein-D (SP-D) null mice. These animals develop emphysema, foamy alveolar macrophages and an alveolar lipoproteinosis with increasing age. We used the incorporation of methyl-9-[2H] choline chloride coupled with ESI-MS/MS to quantify absolute rates of lung surfactant PC synthesis and secretion in an SP-D−/− mouse model, together with an analysis of the molecular specificity of lung PC synthesis. PC synthetic rates were comparable in control (0.52 μmol/lung/h) and SP-D−/− (0.69 μmol/lung/h) mice, as were rates of surfactant PC secretion (29.8 and 30.6 nmol/lung/h, respectively). Increased lung PC in the SP-D−/− mouse was due to impaired catabolism, with a rate of accumulation of 0.057 μmol/lung/h. The relatively low rates of surfactant PC secretion compared with total lung PC synthesis were compatible with a suggested ABCA1-mediated basolateral lipid efflux from alveolar type II epithelial cells. Finally, PC molecular species analysis suggested that a proportion of newly synthesised PC is secreted rapidly into the lung air spaces in both control and SP-D−/− mice before significant PC acyl remodelling occurs. 相似文献

1. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is a minor component of lung surfactant which may be able to replace the functionally important phosphatidylglycerol (PG) [Beppu, Clements & Goerke (1983) J. Appl. Physiol. 55, 496-502] without disturbing lung function. The dipalmitoyl species is one of the main species for both PI (14.4%) and PG (16.9%). Besides the C16:0--C16:0 species, the C16:0--C18:0, C16:0--C18:1, C16:0--C18:2 and C18:0--C18:1 species showed comparable proportions in the PG and PI fractions. These similarities of the species patterns and the acidic character of both phospholipids could explain why surfactant PG may be replaced by PI. 2. PI and PG were radiolabelled by incubation of microsomal fractions with [14C]glycerol 3-phosphate (Gro3P). For 11 out of 14 molecular species of PI and PG we measured comparable proportions of radioactivity. The radioactivity of these 11 species accounted together for more than 80% of the total. The addition of inositol to the incubation system decreased the incorporation in vitro of Gro3P into PG and CDP-DG (diacylglycerol) of lung microsomes (microsomal fractions), but did not change the distribution of radioactivity among the molecular species of PG. These results supported the idea that both acidic surfactant phospholipids may be synthesized de novo from a common CDP-DG pool in lung microsomes. 相似文献

Phosphohydrolase activity of a lamellar body-enriched preparation from pig lung was examined to ascertain if two separate enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylglycerol 3-phosphate. From sulfhydryl inhibition, heat inactivation and substrate specificity studies, we suggest that one phosphohydrolase may account for the hydrolysis of both substrates. The relationship of the reported experiments to the biosynthesis of the glycerophospholipids present in surfactant is discussed. 相似文献

A rapid isocratic method for determining the total phosphatidylcholine and disaturated phosphatidylcholine levels in lung surfactant preparations by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. The analysis was performed on a 3.9 x 300 mm mu-Porasil column with detection by refractive index. The lipids were eluted with a solvent system of chloroform-acetonitrile-methanol-water-85% phosphoric acid 650:650:500:130:2 (v/v/v/v/v). A 4.6 x 30 mm silica guard column was used in place of an injector loop which served as a sample concentrator and purifier. Phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol, all known components of lung surfactants, were eluted from the loop column and were prevented from reaching the analytical column. Sphingomyelin and lysophosphatidylcholine elute later than the phosphatidylcholines on the analytical column. The method was developed so that phosphatidylcholines elute as a single peak regardless of the fatty acid chain length (C12-C20). When the sample was first oxidized with a potassium permanganate-potassium metaperiodate solution, and potentially interfering oxidation products were removed by extraction into a basic aqueous phase, then only the disaturated phosphatidylcholines were analyzed. 相似文献

1.Pulmonary surfactant was isolated from rats that had been exposed to chrysotile asbestos dust for from 3 days to 15 weeks. 2. Asbestos-treated rats showed a progressive increase in amounts of surfactant. After 15 weeks, treated animals contained 4 times as much as non-treated. 3. No significant change was seen in the total protein or total fatty acid composition of surfactant with exposure. 4. The increase in surfactant phosphatidylcholine normally seen on maturation of rat lung was accelerated by exposure of animals to asbestos. 5. An increase in the activity of phosphorylcholine glyceride transferase in lung homogenates and free cell populations was found. 6. Lysosomal phospholipase A was relatively unaffected by dust exposure. 7. It is suggested that the increase in surfactant amounts could be due to an increase in its synthesis without a corresponding alteration in its degradation. 相似文献

The specific activity of disaturated phosphatidylcholine in microsomes and lamellar bodies prepared from hamster lung tissue and in surfactant obtained by lung lavage was determined at various times following the intraperitoneal administration of [Me-3H]choline. The highest specific activity of disaturated phosphatidylcholine in the lung microsomes was attained 1 h after the administration of [3H]choline; thereafter, the specific activity declined. The specific activity of disaturated phosphatidylcholine in lamellar bodies increased steadily for 12 h after [3H]choline administration. The specific activity in lamellar bodies ater 12 h exceeded the maximum specific activity achieved in the microsomal fraction (p less than 0.005). The specific activity of the disaturated phosphatidylcholine in the alveolar lavage increased after an initial lag period of approximately 3 h, attaining the same specific activity as that of the lamellar bodies at the 12-h time point. The reported results are discussed in relation to the biosynthesis, storage, and secretion of the disaturated phosphatidylcholine associated with the lipoprotein, surfactant. 相似文献

The interactions of CaCl2 or MgCl2 with multilamellar phospholipid bilayers were studied by 2H-NMR. Two model membrane systems were used: (1) dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers and (2) bilayers composed of a mixture of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol at a molar ratio of 5:1. Addition of 0.25 M CaCl2 to DPPC bilayers resulted in significant uniform increase of the order parameters of the lipid side chains; the effect of 0.25 M MgCl2 was insignificant. Both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol components of the mixed bilayers were affected by the presence of 0.25 M CaCl2 and, to a much smaller degree, by MgCl2. The addition of Ca2+ induced significantly larger increase of the order parameters of the phosphatidylcholine component. The results are consistent with the long-range effects of Ca2+ binding on the packing of the lipid membranes. 相似文献

The impact of benzene vapor (0.35 mg/l) of low concentration on the contents of free GABA, Glu and Asp, as well as on the enzyme activities of GDC and GABA-T in mitochondrial fractions of different brain regions of adult male rats was investigated. The conclusion was put forward that GABA increase by means of "keeping" inhibition provided for nerve cells defense from extremal excitation, taking place under the chronic exposure to the benzene low concentration. 相似文献

Synthesis methods and initial surface property characterizations are reported for two sulfur-containing phosphonolipids related structurally to dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), the major lung surfactant glycerophospholipid. Sulfur linkages in these compounds affect molecular interactions relative to ester linkages, and are structurally resistant to cleavage by phospholipases. The SO2-linked analog synthesized here had increased adsorption and improved film respreading compared to DPPC, while reaching very low surface tensions (1 mN/m) in cycled interfacial films on both the Wilhelmy balance and the pulsating bubble surfactometer. This compound appears to have potential utility as a component in future phospholipase-resistant synthetic exogenous surfactants for treating clinical forms of inflammatory lung injury. 相似文献

Calorimetric experiments showed a marked effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the thermotropic behaviour of dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol. 2. Concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ lower than 1 ion to 2 molecules of phosphatidylglycerol produced a shift of the phase transition to higher temperatures and an increase in the enthalpy change which is consistent with a closer packing of the lipid molecules in the liposomes. 3. Above the 1:2 ratio, freeze-fracture electron microscopy demonstrated typical "crystal" structures both in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+. In the presence of Mg2+ a metastable behaviour was noticed in the calorimetric experiments. 4. A Ca2+- and Mg2+-induced shift in the transition temperature and an increase in the enthalpy change was also observed in a 1:1 mixture of dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol and dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine. However, these mixed samples remained liposomal in structure at any concentration of the divalent ions. 5. Liposomes prepared from a 1:1 mixture of dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol and dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine in the absence of divalent cations are permeable in the range 10-50 degrees C. Bilayers of mixtures neutralized by Ca2+ or Mg2+ were demonstrated to be completely impermeable to K+, except in the vicinity of the phase transition. 6. The leak of ions from liposomes of a 1:1 mixture of dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol and dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine in the vicinity of the phase transition temperature was considerably less in the presence of Ca2+ than in the presence of Mg2+. 7. It is concluded that there is a correlation between the calorimetric data and the permeability properties of dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol-containing bilayers with respect to the influence of Ca2+ and Mg2+. 相似文献

The alveolar type II epithelial (ATII) cell is highly specialised for the synthesis and storage, in intracellular lamellar bodies, of phospholipid destined for secretion as pulmonary surfactant into the alveolus. Regulation of the enzymology of surfactant phospholipid synthesis and metabolism has been extensively characterised at both molecular and functional levels, but understanding of surfactant phospholipid metabolism in vivo in either healthy or, especially, diseased lungs is still relatively poorly understood. This review will integrate recent advances in the enzymology of surfactant phospholipid metabolism with metabolic studies in vivo in both experimental animals and human subjects. It will highlight developments in the application of stable isotope-labelled precursor substrates and mass spectrometry to probe lung phospholipid metabolism in terms of individual molecular lipid species and identify areas where a more comprehensive metabolic model would have considerable potential for direct application to disease states. 相似文献
