The use of the Liebermann-Burhard reaction and the thin-layer chromatography of nonsaponifiable lipids of culture medium (donor blood serum) permitted the isolation of three biological variants of Escherichia in the process of their 48-hour cultivation in this medium. The cholesterol-destroying variant of Escherichia is characterized by a decrease in the content of total, free, esterified cholesterol and a decrease in the occurrence of fractions corresponding to cholesterol, delta 4-cholestenone-3, delta 5-cholestenone-3), as well as nonsaponifiable lipid, where Rf was equal to 0.36; two fractions of labeled nonsaponifiable lipids, not corresponding to cholesterol, appeared on plasma with sodium acetate-1-14C. Cholesterol-transforming biovars produced insignificant changes in the content of chemically determined cholesterol in the medium, but in plasma nonsaponifiable lipid with Rf = 0.26 and other less polar lipids were found. Escherichia strains increasing the amount of chemically determined cholesterol in the process of their growth more frequently transformed or used nonsaponifiable lipids with Rf = 0.26 and 0.42. As a rule, the occurrence of cholesterol and less polar lipids increased. The sodium acetate-1-14C was incorporated into 3-4 fractions of nonsaponifiable lipids, one of them being identified as cholesterol.  相似文献

Perkinsus marinus, a protozoan parasite of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, causes high mortality in its host along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America. P. marinus meronts cultured in vitro in medium containing complete lipid supplement (cod liver oil, cholesterol and alpha tocopherol acetate in detergent) are able to synthesize a wide variety of lipids, yet cultures cannot be maintained in lipid-free medium. To determine P. marinus lipid requirements meronts were inoculated into media containing different combinations of lipid components in detergent. Treatments included complete lipid supplement (positive control), detergent only (negative control), cholesterol in detergent, alpha tocopherol acetate in detergent and cholesterol+alpha tocopherol acetate in detergent. Meronts proliferated in the positive control medium and media containing cholesterol or cholesterol+alpha tocopherol acetate, but failed to proliferate in the negative control medium and the medium containing just alpha tocopherol acetate. Gas chromatography analysis of P. marinus meronts grown in medium with added (13)C sodium acetate (0.5 mg mL(-1)) revealed the presence of fatty acids containing (13)C, but the only sterol present was cholesterol containing no (13)C. These results suggest that P. marinus cannot synthesize sterols and must sequester them from its host.  相似文献

It has been shown that when lymphocytes are stimulated by phytohemagglutinin the expected stimulation of DNA synthesis is preceded by stimulation of cholesterol synthesis. This confirms the existence of a relation between cell division and cholesterol synthesis. We studied the effect on cell division of six inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis, previously shown to interfere with different steps of the process: 7 beta-hydroxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, lanost-7-en-3 beta, 32-diol, mevinolin, propiconazole, dodecylimidazole. Since experiments were performed in the presence of a high percentage of human serum, which provided cells with exogenous cholesterol via the LDL-receptor pathway, our investigation was focused on the role of newly synthesized cholesterol. The biosynthesis was evaluated by labeling cells with [14C]sodium acetate; to take into account variations of cell permeability to sodium acetate, the results were expressed as the percentage of total cellularly incorporated radioactivity transformed into cholesterol, after separation from all other labeled metabolites. These data were compared with the percentage of transformation into nonsaponifiable lipids, which varied in parallel with HMG-CoA reductase activity, as confirmed by direct enzymatic measurement. Cell division was assessed by simultaneous measurements of three parameters: thymidine incorporation into DNA, cell proliferation and cellular protein content. All the effectors strongly inhibited the conversion of labeled acetate into cholesterol, but cell division was not inhibited by two of them: propiconazole and 7 beta-hydroxycholesterol. These compounds only slightly inhibited the synthesis of nonsaponifiable lipids, which mainly consisted of methylsterols resulting from a blockage of lanosterol demethylation. Thus, it can be concluded that the nonsaponifiable metabolite essential for cell growth is not newly synthesized cholesterol. It was also found that inhibitors affected cell division only when they were added to the culture medium before the decline of cholesterol synthesis stimulation.  相似文献

Summary Different strains of rhizobia (isolated fromLotus corniculatus andVigna unguiculata) andRhizobium meliloti adapt to sevin (50 g/ml). The number of transfers (20–31) and days of incubation (80–130) during which different strains of rhizobia develop resistance varied. The results of reversion of resistance to sevin, experiments showed that the resistance developed was stable. Rate of growth was faster in resistant strains but their final cell numbers were less than those of sensitive strains. Dehydrogenase activity increased with the development of resistance to sevin, except in strain D-467. With the development of resistance to sevin, total lipids and phospholipids decreased, glycolipids increased and neutral lipids varied. Presence of glycerol, sodium oleate and sodium acetate (known to stimulate lipid production) and flavin mononucleotide and wheat germ lipases (known to decrease lipid production) in the culture medium did not change the growth pattern and lipids of the sevin resistant and sensitive strains of rhizobia.  相似文献

We have investigated the effects of monensin, a monovalent cationophore, on the metabolism of neutral lipids, fatty acids, ceramide and phospholipids in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Treatment with 1 microM monensin for 18 h reduced the cellular cholesterol ester content to less than one-third of untreated cells, and incorporation of [3H]acetate into cholesterol ester was also reduced, to less than one-fifth. Concomitantly, a greater conversion of [3H]acetate into free cholesterol occurred. There was a moderate increase in free fatty acids, but no change in triacylglycerol content, although the content of the latter appeared to increase in the presence of fetal calf serum in the culture medium. Phosphatidylcholine decreased in content and phosphatidylserine increased among the phosphatides, but ceramide remained unchanged after monensin treatment. These findings suggest that monensin influences the metabolic interrelationships of structural lipids in fibroblasts.  相似文献

Based on MRS medium, two types of food grade (FG) culture media (FG medium I and FG medium II) for the preparation of a concentrated starter culture of Lactobacillus plantarum NRIC 0380 to manufacture a new type of instant Chinese noodle, the fermented instant Chinese noodle, were developed using FG materials. FG medium I, which is for normal static culture, contains table sugar (sucrose), Yeast peptone standard type F, Sunsoft Q-17S (emulsifier), sodium acetate, trisodium citrate and MnSO(4).4-5H(2)O. FG medium II was designed to be used for the pH-controlled jar fermentor culture conditions. Therefore, sodium acetate and trisodium citrate as a buffer to prevent acidification of medium were omitted from FG medium I. When L. plantarum NRIC 0380 was cultured under the pH-controlled jar fermentor culture conditions, the kinetics of growth, sugar consumption and lactic acid production in FG medium II were quite similar to those observed in the Difco Lactobacilli MRS Broth. Furthermore, growths of many lactobacilli strains isolated from various fermented foods in FG medium I were also quite similar to those observed in MRS medium. Therefore, simple and practical FG media for the culture of lactobacilli were successfully established.  相似文献

Cells dissociated from brains of 1-day-old rats were cultured in medium containing either lipoprotein-deficient serum (LPDS) or LPDS plus various lipoprotein fractions. Increases in number of cells and in DNA content served as a measure of cell growth. Cholesterol synthesis was measured from the incorporation of [14C]acetate into total nonsaponifiable lipids and digitonin-precipitable sterols, and from the activity of the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase. The data indicated that cholesterol biosynthesis from acetate was reduced in cells cultured in medium containing either LPDS plus low-density lipoproteins (LDL), high-density lipoproteins (HDL), or total lipoproteins (LP) and that this reduction was accompanied by a reduction in the activity of the HMG CoA reductase and an increase in the esterified sterol content. The reduction in cholesterol synthesis from acetate was maximal in cells cultured in the presence of HDL, whereas the maximal reduction in the activity of HMG CoA reductase occurred in cells cultured in the presence of LP. The presence of LDL or LP in the culture medium enhanced the cell growth but the presence of HDL did not. Esterified sterol content was highest in cells cultured in the medium containing LPDS plus LP and was not detected in cells cultured in LPDS medium. It is inferred from these data that rat brain glial cells in culture are able to utilize cholesterol in lipoproteins, that the presence of LDL in the medium enhances cell growth, and that reduced cholesterol synthesis in the presence of lipoproteins may occur at the HMG CoA reductase step as well as at some other step(s).  相似文献

The amount of cholesterol and the percentage of esterified cholesterol were increased in transformed cells. The cholesterol synthesis from [14C] sodium acetate was reduced and cholesteryl oleate uptake increased by 3 fold in transformed cells. The activity of acyl coenzyme A-cholesterol-acyltransferase, measured in situ was also increased in transformed cells. Studies with 125I-LDL pointed out an increase of binding, and especially of internalization of LDL by transformed cells. Finally, long term culture in a lipoprotein-deficient medium showed that transformed cells exhibited a higher ability (tested by growth rate and cholesterol synthesis) to adapt themselves to lipid depletion.  相似文献

The method of double isotopic labels was used to study dynamics of lipid metabolism between neuroblastoma C 1300 N 18 A 1 cells and lecithin liposomes which contained 4.5-5 mumol of lecithin in 1 ml of the suspension. The cell lipids were labelled by radioactive carbon and cultivated on the medium with [1-14C] sodium acetate, phosphatidylcholine of liposomes was labelled by tritium. It is shown that 15-30 min long incubation with liposomes causes a sharp decrease of the cholesterol esters amount with a simultaneous fall of the free cholesterol level. The total content of phospholipids in this case remains unchanged though there occurs the noticeable exchange of labelled phospholipids between cells and liposomes. The cholesterol content in the plasma membranes of cells lowers sharply. The neuroblastoma cells are able to compensate arising changes in the cholesterol level for 45-60 min after which they progressively die. 90 min later only an insignificant part of the population (about 10% of cells) is retained.  相似文献

Prednisolone-induced alterations in the content and composition of the total lipids, cholesterol, phospholipids and fatty acids were studied in HeLa S3 cells. After relatively long exposure of the cell cultures to the hormone analog (24 to 72 hours), total cell lipid content was decreased. Partial inhibition of cholesterol and phospholipid metabolism resulted in a shift in the molar ratio of these two lipid constituents. Total fatty acid content was unaffected by prednisolone but there were minor changes in the relative distribution of the individual fatty acids. The observed decrease in cholesterol turnover after addition of prednisolone was primarily due to the reduced uptake of intact cholesterol from the culture medium. This was compensated, in part, by an increased de novo synthesis of cholesterol from acetate and glucose.  相似文献

Aims:  To investigate hydrogen peroxide production by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and to determine the key factors involved.
Methods and Results:  Six strains of Weissella cibaria produced large amounts (2·2–3·2 mmol l−1) of hydrogen peroxide in GYP broth supplemented with sodium acetate, but very low accumulations in glucose yeast peptone broth without sodium acetate. Increased production of hydrogen peroxide was also recorded when strains of W. cibaria were cultured in the presence of potassium acetate, sodium isocitrate and sodium citrate. Oxidases and peroxidases were not detected, or were present at low levels in W. cibaria . However, strong nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase activity was recorded, suggesting that the enzyme plays a key role in production of hydrogen peroxide by W. cibaria .
Conclusions:  Weissella cibaria produces large quantities of hydrogen peroxide in aerated cultures, in a process that is dependent on the presence of acetate in the culture medium. NADH oxidase is likely the key enzyme in this process.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This is the first study showing that sodium acetate, normally present in culture media of LAB, is a key factor for hydrogen peroxide production by W. cibaria . The exact mechanisms involved are not known.  相似文献

Summary Three strains of human skin fibroblasts were cultivated in nutrient medium supplemented either with human serum or fetal bovine serum, and growth and lipid synthesis were compared. Rates of cellular growth were similar in both kinds of medium, but the replicative life spans of all three strains were curtailed significantly in human-serum medium. Incorporation of label into the major classes of neutral lipids from [14C]acetate and3H2O was increased also in human-serum medium. Since human serum contained higher concentrations of cholesterol known to reduce endogenous cholesterol synthesis, these results were unexpected. Nonlipid factors in human serum may account for the shortened cellular life spans and increased lipogenesis and perhaps for the potential to develop atherosclerosis.

The synthesis and secretion of apoB, the major protein component of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL), were studied using rat hepatocytes maintained in primary culture. Supplementation of hepatocytes with rat serum VLDL and LDL increased the production of apoB while delipidated lipoproteins had no significant effect, suggesting a role for lipids in the production of apoB. Addition of cholesterol to the culture medium also increased the production of apoB in a concentration-dependent manner. Pulse labelling followed by chase in presence of cholesterol indicated enhancement in apoB secretion. Mevinolin which inhibits cholesterol synthesis significantly reduced the secretion of apoB. The presence of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in the culture medium also increased the secretion of apoB into the medium. These data suggest that availability of lipids, particularly cholesterol, is an important determinant of apoB synthesis and secretion as VLDL.  相似文献

To study the effects of probucol on hepatic lipid metabolism, we used adult rat hepatocytes cultured on a feeder layer of 3T3 cells lethally treated with mitomycin C. These cultures synthesize and secrete for at least 2 weeks various lipids from [14C]acetate and [14C]oleate precursors. Treatment with 20 micrograms/ml of probucol for 7 and 14 days decreased the secretion of various radiolabeled lipid species to the culture medium and produced an intracytoplasmic accumulation of triacylglycerol droplets. The lipids whose secretion was most decreased were free and esterified cholesterol (50-70% reduction). Secretion of triacylglycerols and phospholipids was also reduced but to a lower extent. Intracytoplasmic triacylglycerols accumulated and the activity of glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase, a marker enzyme of glycerolipid synthesis, also increased (35-56%). The total incorporation of both radioactive precursors into free and esterified cholesterol and phospholipids was reduced 20-60%. Our data show that 2-week treatment of 3T3-hepatocyte cultures with pharmacological concentrations of probucol reduces significantly lipid secretion and suggest that at least part of the in vivo hypolipidemic effect of probucol could be attributed to a decrease in the secretion of lipids (i.e., lipoproteins) by hepatocytes.  相似文献

Summary Cells grown in vitro generally have a requirement for an exogenous source of lipid. This requirement is often met by the addition of serum lipoproteins, or lipids complexed to albumin. To overcome the disadvantages of using lipoproteins or albumin for culturing cells in serum-free media, a method has been devised to provide necessary lipids. This report describes the preparation and use of protein-free lipid microemulsions suitable for use in tissue culture. The microemulsions are prepared from purified, synthetic lipids to produce a homogeneous, water-soluble, stable suspension that can be sterile-filtered. The best results were obtained using a sonicate of cholesterol oleate, dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, dilinoleoyl phosphatidylcholine, dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol, cholesterol, sphingomyelin, alpha-tocopherol, alpha-tocopherol acetate, and Tween 80. Using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in a protein-free medium, cell growth was 222% vs. control (no microemulsion) in a 5-d assay. Incluction of the microemulsion to protein-free media also increased the growth rate of murine hybridomas, H9 transformed T lymphoblasts, and human skin keratinocytes.  相似文献

The effects of pantethine on cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism were investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Preincubation of the cells with pantethine induced a concentration-dependent decrease of the radioactivity incorporated into carbon dioxide and lipids in incubations with [2-14C]acetate. When pantethine and the labeled substrate were simultaneously added to the cell suspension, there was an enhancement of carbon dioxide radioactivity at short incubation time (5 min) whereas, at longer incubation time, values were comparable to those of controls; lipid radioactivity, instead, was dramatically reduced by pantethine even at short incubation time and decreased further during the incubation, being 23% of that of controls at 60 min. Analysis of the incubation medium showed that pantethine induced a concentration- and time-dependent release of acetate into the medium. Results of the effect of the acetate concentration on the incorporation of [2-14C]acetate radioactivity into CO2 and lipids in control hepatocytes allowed the conclusion that the above-described modifications induced by pantethine are only partially attributable to the dilution of the labeled substrate, and that catabolism of acetate to carbon dioxide is stimulated by the disulphide pantethine, whereas cholesterol and fatty acid syntheses are inhibited.  相似文献

The growth characteristics and acetate production of several Escherichia coli strains were compared by using shake flasks, batch fermentations, and glucose-feedback-controlled fed-batch fermentations to assess the potential of each strain to grow at high cell densities. Of the E. coli strains tested, including JM105, B, W3110, W3100, HB101, DH1, CSH50, MC1060, JRG1046, and JRG1061, strains JM105 and B were found to have the greatest relative biomass accumulation, strain MC1060 accumulated the highest concentrations of acetic acid, and strain B had the highest growth rates under the conditions tested. In glucose-feedback-controlled fed-batch fermentations, strains B and JM105 produced only 2 g of acetate.liter-1 while accumulating up to 30 g of biomass.liter-1. Under identical conditions, strains HB101 and MC1060 accumulated less than 10 g of biomass.liter-1 and strain MC1060 produced 8 g of acetate.liter-1. The addition of various concentrations of sodium acetate to the growth medium resulted in a logarithmic decrease, with respect to acetate concentration, in the growth rates of E. coli JM105, JM105(pOS4201), and JRG1061. These data indicated that the growth of the E. coli strains was likely to be inhibited by the acetate they produced when grown on media containing glucose. A model for the inhibition of growth of E. coli by acetate was derived from these experiments to explain the inhibition of acetate on E. coli strains at neutral pH.  相似文献
