This study was designed to investigate the reactive oxygen species interaction in lipid peroxidation, the adenosine and energy charge levels of liver cells, and total glutathione content in ischemic-reperfusion injury of liver in rat. Methodology: To prevent intestinal congestion during the clamping of vascular structures, subcutaneous transposition of the spleen was done beforehand. Four to six weeks later, after the development of ...

Phosphatidylcholines (PC) are the most abundant phospholipids in mammalian cells, where they serve well-characterized structural roles, maintaining membrane integrity, facilitating lipoprotein assembly and serving as a surfactant in the lung. Over the past decade, seminal papers have been published that describe novel roles for specific PC species derived from both the cytidine diphosphate-choline (CDP-choline) and phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) pathways of PC synthesis; these roles include both nuclear receptor agonism and generating critical physiological pools of the omega 3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In addition to these novel functions, complex interactions between PC and its substrate, choline, with growth and energetic status have emerged, following the observation that the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a major regulator of PC synthesis through the CDP-choline pathway. Presented in this dissertation are the tests of our primary ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Thrombin induces proliferation of osteoblast-like cells through phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis. AU - Suzuki, Atsushi. AU - Kozawa, Osamu. AU - Shinoda, Junji. AU - Watanabe, Yasuko. AU - Saito, Hidehiko. AU - Oiso, Yutaka. PY - 1996/7/1. Y1 - 1996/7/1. N2 - We examined the effect of thrombin on phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D activity in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. Thrombin stimulated the formation of choline dose dependently in the range between 0.01 and 1 U/ml, but not the phosphocholine formation. Diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP)-inactivated thrombin had little effect on the choline formation. The combined effects of thrombin and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, a protein kinase C-activating phorbol ester, on the choline formation were additive. Staurosporine, an inhibitor of protein kinases, had little effect on the thrombin-induced formation of choline. Combined addition of thrombin and NaF, an activator of heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein, did not ...

Several members of the staphylococcal phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) peptide family exhibit pronounced capacities to lyse eukaryotic cells, such as neutrophils, monocytes, and erythrocytes. This is commonly assumed to be due to the amphipathic, α-helical structure of PSMs, giving PSMs detergent-like characteristics and allowing for a relatively non-specific destruction of biological membranes. However, the capacities of PSMs to lyse synthetic phospholipid vesicles have not been investigated. Here, we analyzed lysis of synthetic phosphatidylcholine (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, POPC) vesicles by all Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis PSMs. In addition, we investigated the lytic capacities of culture filtrates obtained from different S. aureus PSM deletion mutants toward POPC vesicles. Our results show that all staphylococcal PSMs have phospholipid vesicle-lysing activity and the capacity of S. aureus culture filtrate to lyse POPC vesicles is exclusively dependent on PSMs.

The mitogenic activity of endothelin and its ability to stimulate PtdIns(4,5)P2 and phosphatidylcholine turnover in Rat-1 fibroblasts was studied. Stimulated incorporation of [3H]thymidine occurred in the absence of any other added growth factors. The endothelins stimulated rapid generation of both Ins(1,4,5)P3 and choline. Endothelin-1 and endothelin-2 were equipotent in stimulating both responses, but endothelin-3 was less potent. Endothelin-1-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation reached a maximum at 5 s and then declined; however, the response was long-lived, with a 4.5-fold elevation over basal still observed after 15 min. Endothelin-stimulated choline generation was observed with no increase in choline phosphate; indeed, the apparent level of this metabolite fell after 30 min of stimulation, presumably due to the observed stimulation of phosphatidylcholine synthesis. The endothelin-stimulated increase in choline generation was abolished in cells where protein kinase C was down-regulated. ...

What Is It? A member of the phospholipid or fatty acid class of compounds, phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the major component of lecithin, a compound that naturally occurs in all cell membranes and is essential for biological functions. (1, 2) Lecithin is found in eggs and plants such as mustard, soy, and sunflower. Although egg lecithin contains a large amount of phosphatidylcholine (69%), plant lecithins are considered safer than animal sources. As a result, most PC supplements are derived from soy lecithin which contains 24% phosphatidylcholine. Lecithin-derived phosphatidylcholine acts as a surfactant, which means that it is responsible for maintaining the surface tension of cell membranes and controls what enters and leaves the cell through the membranes.. In the body, phosphatidylcholine is the major supplier of choline, which is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is necessary for optimal brain and nerve function. As a result, researchers are interested in using ...

The FA composition of skeletal muscle phospholipids is altered in both humans (2, 3, 27) and rats (24, 32, 44) after chronic (≥4 wk) exercise training. Here we provide novel data describing the effect of exercise training on skeletal muscle phospholipid molecular species profile using ESI-MS. This investigation characterized relative changes in the phospholipid profile of both oxidative (RVL) and glycolytic (WVL) muscle fibers with low and high-intensity exercise training. We have also characterized, for the first time, differences in the profile of phospholipid molecular species between these two muscle fiber types.. Previous studies have reported that long-chain n-3 PUFAs are higher in the insulin-sensitive type I and type IIa fibers (32) and that type I fibers have a preference for stearic acid (18:0) over palmitic acid (16:0) (7, 17). The results of the present study reveal that these differences are also manifest in whole phospholipid PA and PE species (Table 3). Even though the ...

About Non-GMO Lecithin Powder Lecithin is a complex fatty substance found in all animal and plant tissues which is composed of phosphoric acid, sterols, carbohydrates, fatty acids, glycerol, glycolipids, sphingolipids, phospholipids (e.g., phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl inositol, and phosphatidyl serine), and various other compounds. Lecithin is naturally found in foods, especially fatty foods such as egg yolk, soybeans, nuts, wheat germ, fish, legumes, and peanuts. It is also present, to a lesser extent, in foods like yeast, grains, bee pollen, cauliflower, and cabbage. A key component of lecithin, phosphatidyl choline, is the main lipid component in both plant and […]. ...

We report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of rigid oligonaphthalenediimide (O-NDI) rods that are expected to act as transmembrane anion−π slides. Studies in fluorogenic large unilamellar egg yolk phosphatidylcholine vesicles reveal that rigid O-NDI rods mediate anion-selective transport with a rare halide VI selectivity sequence (Cl- , F- , Br- , I-). This and decreasing activity, selectivity, and halide sequence with increasing positive charge of the rod termini support the occurrence of anion−π interactions. A strong anomalous mole fraction effect in Cl-/I- mixtures is in agreement with the existence of multiple active sites along the anion−π slide and multi-anion hopping as a mechanism of transport. The strong inverted NDI quadruple moment found by DFT calculations is in excellent agreement with these results.. [open archive unige:6919 • pdf ...

The current studies demonstrate that in both ECs and macrophages, ox-PAPC inhibits the ability of bacterial lipids that target TLR4 and TLR2 to increase synthesis of chemokines. Furthermore, we identify KOdiA-PC and POVPC as the major, specific phospholipids in ox-PAPC responsible for this inhibition.. Our studies addressed the mechanism of this inhibition and concluded that the inhibition of LPS action by ox-PAPC in these cell types was mediated by effects at the cellular level. This conclusion was based on the observation that pretreatment of cells with ox-PAPC followed by exposure to LPS was as effective as cotreatment to inhibit LPS action (Figure 3). To determine the cellular target of ox-PAPC inhibition, we first examined the effect of ox-PAPC on intracellular signaling from MyD88 to NF-κB activation. Our results indicate that ox-PAPC does not inhibit the pathway from MyD88 to NF-κB activation (Figures 2B and 2C), because no effect on IL-1β action, which shares this pathway, was ...

Oxidation of glycerophospholipids results in the formation of large variety of oxidized phospholipid products that differs significantly in their chemical compositions and molecular structures. Biological activities of these oxidized products also differ considerably. Here we report the comparisons of the physicochemical properties of non-oxidized phospholipid particle containing two closely related tOx-PLs: 1-palmitoyl-2-(5-keto-6-octendioyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (KOdiA-PC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-(9-keto-10-dodecendioyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (KDdiA-PC). DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) was used as a model membrane non-oxidized phospholipid. Physicochemical properties of the lipid particles were characterized by using fluorescence spectroscopy, native polyacrylamide gel and agarose gel electrophoresis. Our result shows that the presence of closely related tOx-PLs, which differ only in the chemical composition of the oxidized fatty acyl chains at the sn-2 position, ...

Figure 1: Zoomed 5 nm image. Using Fourier filtering of the larger raw image, the superlattice is removed, and only the crystal lattice remains. Specifically, in filtering, we selected all of the crystallographic Bragg peaks connected by reciprocal lattice vectors appearing in the FFT. (PHYSICAL REVIEW B 93, 045430 (2016)). We use scanning tunneling microscopy to study the lithium molybdenum purple bronze (Li0.9Mo6O17) at room temperature. Our measurements allow us to identify the single-crystal cleave plane and show that it is possible to obtain clean cleaved surfaces reflecting the crystal structure without the complications of nanoscale surface disorder. In addition to the crystal lattice, we observe a coexisting discommensurate superlattice with wave vectors q = 0.5a∗ ± 0.25b∗. We propose that the origin of the superstructure is a surface reconstruction that is driven by cleaving along a crystal plane that contains in-plane MoO4 tetrahedra connected to out-of-plane MoO6 octahedra ...

Colin Mclean. Using Probabilistic Clustering to help Identify Multiple Protein Instances in Static PPI Datasets. Functioning of synapses is governed by macromolecular complexes held together by protein-protein, protein-lipid and lipid-lipid interactions. In the Post-Synaptic Density (PSD) multi-protein complexes contain multiple core proteins, such as the scaffolding proteins: PSD-95, SHANK, SAPAP. Commonly used clustering techniques fail to capture the role of these important proteins, by placing each protein in only a single community. Probabilistic clustering techniques circumnavigate this problem by assigning a probability to each protein belonging to a community, allowing overlapping structure of the data. We have implemented a principled statistical approach, based on clustering edges between nodes, for finding overlapping communities in our static Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks ...

The properties of bilayers composed of pure brain cerebroside (bCrb) or of binary mixtures of bCrb with brain ceramide, cholesterol, egg phosphatidylcholine or brain sphingomyelin have been studied using a combination of physical techniques. Pure bCrb exhibits a rather narrow gel-fluid transition centred at approximate to 65 degrees C with a half-width at half-height T-1/2 approximate to 3 degrees C. bCrb mixes well with both fluid and gel phospholipids and ceramide, and it rigidifies bilayers of egg phosphatidylcholine or brain sphingomyelin when the latter are in the fluid state. Cholesterol markedly widens the bCrb gel-fluid transition, while decreasing the associated transition enthalpy, in the manner of cholesterol mixtures with saturated phosphatidylcholines, or sphingomyelins. Laurdan and DPH fluorescence indicate the formation of fluid ordered phases in the bCrb:cholesterol mixtures. Macroscopic phase separation of more and less fluid domains is observed in giant unilamellar vesicles ...

In order to study the individual steps involved in the import of phosphatidylcholine (PC) into rat liver mitochondria, a number of PC analogues were introduced into the outer membrane of isolated mitochondria. Two fluorescent PC species, i.e. 1-palmitoyl-2-(16-bimanylthio)hexadecanoyl-PC (bimane-PC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-(10-pyrene)decanoyl-PC (pyrene-PC), and one radiolabeled PC species, i.e. 1-palmitoyl-2-[1-14C]oleoyl-PC (14C-POPC), were studied. The PC analogues were introduced from small unilamellar vesicles with the use of PC-specific transfer protein. The amount of PC imported was quantified by reisolation of the mitochondria. Import of the fluorescent PC species was monitored by on-line fluorescence spectroscopy. The distribution of the newly inserted PC between the outer and the inner membrane was assessed by separation of the two membranes using digitonin treatment. All analogues tested remained exclusively localized in the outer membrane thereby suggesting that additional ...

AU - Huang, Juyang. PY - 2012/11. Y1 - 2012/11. N2 - Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) containing cholesterol often have a wide distribution in lipid composition. In this study, GUVs of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine(DOPC)/1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(DSPC)/ cholesterol and 1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(diPhyPC)/1,2- dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(DPPC)/cholesterol were prepared from dry lipid films using the standard electroformation method as well as a modified method from damp lipid films, which are made from compositional uniform liposomes prepared using the Rapid Solvent Exchange (RSE) method. We quantified the lipid compositional distributions of GUV by measuring the miscibility transition temperature of GUVs using fluorescence microscopy, since a ...

To determine the factors that influence the plasma LCAT reaction, plasma substrate activity was modified by the addition of purified LCAT, LTP, and native or synthetic lipid particles. The addition of purified LTP, even in the presence of excess LCAT, did not alter the initial rate of cholesterol esterification. In contrast, the supplementation of plasma with purified LCAT resulted in a linear increase of the initial rate of cholesterol esterification up to a concentration of LCAT 3 times that in plasma. This linear response to exogenous LCAT was further extended in plasma obtained during the absorptive state. Purified human plasma lipoproteins and egg phosphatidylcholine vesicles were equilibrated with labelled plasma before measurement of the enzyme activity. The addition of egg phosphatidylcholine vesicles gave the most pronounced effect in enhancing the initial rate of LCAT reaction in both the presence and absence of exogenous LCAT. The supplementation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to d ...

The effects of the insecticide lindane on the phase transition in multilamellar bilayers of saturated diacylphosphatidylcholines of different acyl chain length (DC14PC, DC16PC, and DC18PC) have been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), as well as computer-simulation calculations on a molecular interaction model. The calorimetric data show that increasing concentrations of lindane lower the transition temperature and lead to a broadening of the specific heat in a systematic way depending on the lipid acyl chain length. Kinetic effects in the observed calorimetric traces indicate that the incorporation of lindane into multilamellar lipid bilayers is slow, but faster for the shorter lipid species. Large unilamellar vesicles do not show such kinetic effects. The transition enthalpy is for all three lipid species found to be independent of the lindane concentration which implies that the entropy of mixing is vanishingly small. This lends support to a microscopic molecular ...

Although the original objective for the profiles was to inform decisions made by reclamation planners and practitioners in the oil sands and to promote the inclusion of these species in revegetation, the information has a much wider audience appeal.

bilayer led to an increase in the amount of high-affinity binding of an amyloidogenic mutant (L55P) TTR. In addition, a greater amount of L55P TTR bound with high affinity to membranes made from anionic phospholipids, phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidylserine (PS), than to membranes made from zwitterionic phospholipid phosphatidylcholine (PC). The anionic phospholipids (PS and PG) promoted the aggregation of L55P TTR by accelerating the nucleation phase of aggregation, whereas the zwitterionic phospholipid PC had little effect. These results suggest that cholesterol and anionic phospholipids may be important for TTR aggregation and TTR-induced cytotoxicity.. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Vibrational layer eigenmodes of binary phospholipid-cholesterol bilayers at low temperatures. AU - Leonov, D. V.. AU - Adichtchev, S. V.. AU - Dzuba, S. A.. AU - Surovtsev, N. V.. PY - 2019/2/22. Y1 - 2019/2/22. N2 - Raman spectra in the low-frequency spectral range - between 5 and 90cm-1 - were studied for multilamellar bilayers prepared with cholesterol (Chol) and phospholipids of three different types: doubly unsaturated lipids 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), monounsaturated lipids 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), and fully saturated lipids 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC). The narrow peak seen below 250 K and positioned between 9 and 18cm-1 - depending on the system and temperature - was attributed to the vibrational eigenmode of a lipid monolayer. For the DOPC-Chol bilayer, the peak position and the peak width were found to monotonically increase and decrease, respectively, with the Chol concentration. For POPC-Chol ...

PtdCho is a major component of eukaryotic but not prokaryotic membranes. We demonstrate for the first time that a bacterium can inhibit the de novo synthesis of PtdCho in human cells. Significantly, this inhibition triggers apoptosis. Although inhibition of PtdCho biosynthesis initiates apoptosis in cells exposed to xenobiotics (13-15, 17, 28), in mutant cells with genetic CCT dysfunction (40), or in nutritional choline deprivation (18, 31), the response of human cells to pneumococcus is the first case where this mechanism plays a critical role in pathogenesis.. In the brain, PtdCho has an additional role as a precursor for the biosynthesis of the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is unlikely that acetylcholine deprivation accounts for the observed pneumococcal-induced neuronal cell death because a low level of acetylcholine is not known to be a death signal and PtdCho serves as a reservoir of choline for acetylcholine biosynthesis under conditions of nutritional choline deprivation ...

Phospholipids are one of the major structural elements of biological membranes. Due to their amphiphilic character, they can adopt various molecular assemblies when dispersed in water, such as bilayer vesicles or micelles, which give them unique interfacial properties and render them very attractive in terms of foam or emulsion stabilization. This article aims at reviewing the properties of phospholipids at the air/water and oil/water interfaces, as well as the recent advances in using these natural components as stabilizers, alone or in combination with other compounds such as proteins. A discussion regarding the challenges and opportunities offered by phospholipids-stabilized structure concludes the review.

Rat serum phosphorylcholine binding protein (PCBP) was previously shown to inhibit heparin-lipoprotein-precipitation reaction. Comparison of the effect of PCBP on heparin-lipoprotein precipitation reaction with similar proteins from other species revealed a striking difference between the glycosylated rat PCBP and female hamster FP and the non-glycosylated varieties (human and rabbit CRPs). Whereas FP shared the inhibitory effect with rat PCBP, human and rabbit CRP failed to inhibit the precipitation reaction suggesting a role of the sialic acid residues on PCBP and FP in the mechanism of inhibition of heparin-lipoprotein precipitation reaction. -- The binding of PCBP to multilamellar liposomes prepared with egg phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) was studied and the binding was found to be Ca²⁺ dependent and required the incorporation of 25% LPC into the liposomes. The binding was inhibited by phosphorylcholine (P-choline). Substitution of phosphorylcholine head ...

One of the popular approaches to study cell membranes is to study lipid mixtures phase behaviors. Although the structure of compositionally simple binary and ternary lipid systems have been extensively studied in the last three decades, the effects of proteins on compositional complexity of biological membranes have not been studied in details. Since in some biological membranes, the majority of membrane area is covered by proteins (up to 60-70%), it is reasonable to suppose that membrane proteins would have large effects on bilayer phase behavior. To the best of our knowledge, previously, no 4-component phase diagram, with protein as one of the components, has been reported. This work is the first study of this kind which investigate the effect of polypeptide gramicidin-A on Lo+Ld phase boundaries. In recent years, many studies have focused on the study of lipid rafts, a type of domain structure thought to form spontaneously by lateral phase separation in membranes. Lipid rafts provide domains ...

The perturbation of model lipid bilayer vesicles by halogenated hydrocarbons was investigated to determine if cellular membrane damage could be evaluated and used as a screening technique for toxicity. A fluorescent probe of 1-anilino-8-naphthalene-sulfonate (82768) (ANS) was bound to synthetic phospholipid vesicles prepared from egg lecithin and dimyristoyl-phosphatidyl-choline (DML). The fluores

Sphingomyelin, a major component of cell and Golgi membranes, is made by the transfer of phosphocholine from phosphatidylcholine onto ceramide, with diacylglycerol as a side product. The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes this reaction primarily at the cell membrane. The synthesis is reversible, and this enzyme can catalyze the reaction in either direction. The encoded protein is required for cell growth. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. There is evidence for more variants, but the full-length nature of their transcripts has not been determined.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008 ...

Micellular particles such as small unilamellar vesicles of less than 2000 A° loaded with 111 In are administered to BALB/c mice in which EMT 6 tumors had been induced. Whole body scintographs of the mice to which either neutral or positively or negatively charged vesicles had been administered show a substantial quantity of the vesicle entrapped 111 In localized in the tumor. Blocking of macrophages in the liver and spleen by first administering unlabeled, aminomannose substituted vesicles before administration of the labeled vesicles increases uptake of the 111 In labeled vesicles in the tumor.

The new study now shows that the risk of dementia was 28% lower in men with the highest intake of dietary phosphatidylcholine, when compared to men with the lowest intake. Men with the highest intake of dietary phosphatidylcholine also excelled in tests measuring their memory and linguistic abilities. These findings are significant, considering that more than 50 million people worldwide are suffering from a memory disorder that has led to dementia, and the number is expected to grow as the population ages. Alzheimers disease is the most common cause of dementia, for which no cure currently exists. The new findings may, therefore, play a vital role in the prevention of dementia. Successful dementia prevention is a sum of many things and in this equation, even small individual factors can have a positive effect on the overall risk, possibly by preventing or delaying the disease onset ...

The specific activity of Ca2+-ATPase reconstituted into diC18 : 1PC bilayers decreases at molar ratios C12NO : PC , 2where mixed rod-like (cylindrical) C12NO + diC18 : 1PC micelles (r , 1) are formed ). The geometry of the surfactant + phospholipid aggregates consisting of two compo- nents depends on the effective molecular packing parameter . The theory predicts that, depending on the packing parameter d, molecules form spherical micelles (d , 0.33),normal cylindrical micelles (0.33 , d , 0.5), curved bilayers (0.5 , d , 1), flat bilayers (d = 1) or inverted micelles (d , 1). We conclude that the inhibition of Ca2+-ATPase observed in diC18 : 1PC bilayers is most probably caused by C12NO:PC (mol:mol) a severe deformation of the bilayer resulting in the formation of Fig. 5.

Lipid bilayers form the boundaries of the cell and its organelles. Many physiological processes, such as cell movement and division, involve bending and folding of the bilayer at high curvatures. Currently, bending of the bilayer is treated as an elastic deformation, such that its stress-strain response is i
