Very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs) are essential for human health and well-being. However, the current
sources of these valuable compounds are limited and may not be sustainable in the long term. Recently, considerable progress
has been made in identifying genes involved in the biosynthesis of VLCPUFAs. The co-expression of these genes in model systems
such as plant embryos or yeast provided many valuable insights into the mechanisms of VLCPUFA synthesis. The recent successful
reconstitution of pathways leading to the synthesis of arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and finally docosahexaenoic
acid in oil-seed plants indicates the feasibility of using transgenic crops as alternative sources of VLCPUFAs. The various
approaches used to attain these results and the specific constraints associated with each approach are discussed. 相似文献

There is a growing number of animal models and clinical trials of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) supplementation in disease. Epidemiologic and biochemical studies have suggested beneficial effects of n-3 PUFAs. But also, the use of n-3 PUFAs has some potential toxicological risks that can be circumvented by careless processing, storing, and preserving the PUFAs. The use of n-3 PUFAs is safe if appropriate preparations and dosages are selected. Much research is needed to clarify their use under different disease conditions. The newly established clinical and nutritional facts on n-3 PUFAs will induce industry to develop food products based on this knowledge. 相似文献

The fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane during exocytosis can be recorded by membrane capacitance measurements
under voltage-clamp conditions. These measurements enable high time-resolution quantitation of exocytosis. The present study
was carried out using the above technique to elucidate the effects of various polyunsaturated fatty acids on exocytosis in
a neuroendocrine cell, the rat pheochromocytoma-12 (PC12) cell. External application of eicosapentaenoic acid and arachidonic
acid resulted in an increase in capacitance of PC12 cells, indicating fusion of secretory vesicles with cell membranes and
exocytosis. In contrast, docosahexaenoic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and vehicle control had no significant effect on
capacitance. The above findings show differential effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids on exocytosis in PC12 cells. It is
postulated that besides arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid could also play an important role in exocytosis and neurotransmitter
release, in neurons and hormone-secreting cells.

The disposal and more efficient utilization of marine wastes is becoming increasingly serious. A culture media for microorganisms has been prepared from squid internal organs that are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Both freshwater and marine bacteria grew well in this medium and some bacteria accumulated PUFAs in their lipids, suggesting uptake of exogenous PUFAs. Higher PUFA accumulations were observed in Escherichia coli mutant cells defective either in unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis or fatty acid degradation, or both, compared to those without these mutations. Therefore, PUFA accumulation in cells can be improved by genetic modification of fatty acid metabolism in the bacteria. Squid internal organs would be a good source of medium, not only for marine bacteria but also for freshwater bacteria, and that this process may be advantageous to make efficient use of the fishery wastes and to produce PUFA-containing microbial cells and lipids. 相似文献

DHA(22:6n-3)、EPA(20:5n-3)和ARA(20:4n-6)三种长链多不饱和脂肪酸在生物体内活性最强,它们在促进大脑发育和功能维持以及在预防和治疗心血管疾病、炎症、癌症等多种疾病方面有着重要作用。然而,尽管哺乳动物体内有完整的长链多不饱和脂肪酸合成酶系,但哺乳动物合成这些长链多不饱和脂肪酸的效率很低而主要依赖于食物获取。本研究应用转基因方法,将哺乳动物来源的Δ6和Δ5脂肪酸去饱和酶以及Δ6和Δ5脂肪酸延长酶这4种酶的编码基因构建成为一个多基因表达载体,然后转染哺乳动物细胞HEK293T,实现了4个目的基因的超表达,再通过气质联用(GC-MS)分析证实了DHA、EPA和ARA等长链多不饱和脂肪酸的合成效率及水平显著增加,DHA的水平更是提高了2.5倍。由此可见,哺乳动物具有某种抑制长链多不饱和脂肪酸高水平合成的机制,但通过Δ6和Δ5脂肪酸去饱和酶以及Δ6和Δ5脂肪酸延长酶的超表达,能够打破哺乳动物这种抑制机制,从而显著提高DHA、EPA、ARA等的合成水平。同时,本研究的思路也为在转基因动物中生产长链多不饱和脂肪酸提供了重要的启示。 相似文献

Dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have a proven role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and precursor disease states such as metabolic syndrome. Although most studies have focussed on the predominant omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid), recent evidence suggests similar health benefits from their common precursor, stearidonic acid. Stearidonic acid is a Δ6-unsaturated C18 omega-3 fatty acid present in a few plant species (mainly the Boraginaceae and Primulaceae ) reflecting the general absence of Δ6-desaturation from higher plants. Using a Δ6-desaturase from Primula vialii , we generated transgenic Arabidopsis and linseed lines accumulating stearidonic acid in their seed lipids. Significantly, the P. vialii Δ6-desaturase specifically only utilises α-linolenic acid as a substrate, resulting in the accumulation of stearidonic acid but not omega-6 γ-linolenic acid. Detailed lipid analysis revealed the accumulation of stearidonic acid in neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol but an absence from the acyl-CoA pool. In the case of linseed, the achieved levels of stearidonic acid (13.4% of triacylglycerols) are very similar to those found in the sole natural commercial plant source ( Echium spp.) or transgenic soybean oil. However, both those latter oils contain γ-linolenic acid, which is not normally present in fish oils and considered undesirable for heart-healthy applications. By contrast, the stearidonic acid-enriched linseed oil is essentially devoid of this fatty acid. Moreover, the overall omega-3/omega-6 ratio for this modified linseed oil is also significantly higher. Thus, this nutritionally enhanced linseed oil may have superior health-beneficial properties. 相似文献

A marine yellowish picoplankton, strain PP301, which was newly isolated from the surface seawater of the western Pacific Ocean was an eminent producer of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Its fatty acids were mostly shared by the shortest saturated form (14:0, 20–30%) and polyunsaturated forms (20:4, EPA and DHA) which accounted for about 50% of the total fatty acids. The amount of intermediate forms in 16 and 18 carbon chains were very little. This composition was consistently observed irrespective of the growth temperatures (15–35 °C). 相似文献

Seven strains of marine microbes producing a significant amount of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA;
C22:6, n-3) were screened from seawater collected in coastal areas of Japan and Fiji. They accumulate their
respective intermediate fatty acids in addition to DHA. There are 5 kinds of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)
profiles which can be described as (1) DHA/docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; C22:5, n-6), (2) DHA/DPA/eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA; C20:5, n-3), (3) DHA/EPA, (4) DHA/DPA/EPA/arachidonic acid (AA; C20:4, n-6),
and (5) DHA/DPA/EPA/AA/docosatetraenoic acid (C22:4, n-6). These isolates are proved to be new thraustochytrids
by their specific insertion sequences in the 18S rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree constructed by
molecular analysis of 18S rRNA genes from the isolates and typical thraustochytrids shows that strains with the
same PUFA profile form each monophyletic cluster. These results suggest that the C20-22 PUFA profile may be
applicable as an effective characteristic for grouping thraustochytrids. 相似文献

Phosphatidylcholine containing large amounts of long polyunsaturated fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6), was synthesized in isooctane. Immobilized phospholipase A2 was used as a catalyst. A parallel non-enzymatic esterification reaction was investigated in separate experiments.
The concentrations of lyso-phosphatidylcholine, polyunsaturated fatty acids, water and the enzyme were varied over wide ranges as were the temperature and the reaction time. The type of enzyme, carrier and immobilization procedure were held constant.
The yield of phosphatidylcholine was relatively high (about 21%) when the concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids was high (300 mg/g of reaction mixture) and the water content was low (below 30% of the dry immobilized enzyme). The highest yield of phosphatidylcholine was found at 80 hours and 75°C. However, at this temperature an extensive non-enzymatic reaction between polyunsaturated fatty acids and lyso-phosphatidylcholine occurred. At 80°C the polyunsaturated fatty acids were partly oxidized. Therefore, a temperature of 45°C to 65°C is probably the optimum temperature for the reaction. 相似文献

二十二碳六烯酸(DHA,22:6n-3)是一种长度为22个碳原子且含有6个双键的ω-3系多不饱和脂肪酸,在人体中具有重要生物学功能。人体及其他哺乳动物体内只能合成少量的DHA,更多的需求必须从食物中获取。然而,DHA的天然资源(主要是深海鱼类等海洋产品)日趋枯竭,开发新型资源以满足不断扩大的市场需求势在必行。本研究利用转基因技术,在哺乳动物细胞中使Δ6和Δ5脂肪酸去饱和酶以及Δ6和Δ5脂肪酸延长酶超表达,同时表达来源于秀丽隐杆线虫Caenorhabditis elegans的Δ15去饱和酶和小眼虫Euglena gracilis的Δ4去饱和酶,结果表明,这6种酶的表达或超表达能将ω-6系的亚油酸(LA,18:2n-6)有效地转化为DHA(22:6n-3),后者的含量从对照组的16.74%提高到实验组的25.3%。本研究的策略及技术路线为将来利用遗传改造的哺乳动物生产珍稀的DHA(22:6n-3)等长链多不饱和脂肪酸产品提供了重要的启示。 相似文献
