Abstract
The identification and quantitation of plasmalogen glycerophospholipids is challenging due to their isobaric overlap with plasmanyl ether-linked glycerophospholipids, susceptibility to acid degradation, and their typically low abundance in biological samples. Trimethylation enhancement using diazomethane (TrEnDi) can be used to significantly enhance the signal of glycerophospholipids through the creation of quaternary ammonium groups producing fixed positive charges using 13C-diazomethane in complex lipid extracts. Although TrEnDi requires a strong acid for complete methylation, we report an optimized protocol using 10 mM HBF4 with the subsequent addition of a buffer solution that prevents acidic hydrolysis of plasmalogen species and enables the benefits of TrEnDi to be realized for this class of lipids. These optimized conditions were applied to aliquots of bovine liver extract (BLE) to achieve permethylation of plasmalogen lipids within a complex mixture. Treating aliquots of unmodified and TrEnDi-derivatized BLE samples with 80% formic acid and comparing their liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) results to analogous samples not treated with formic acid, enabled the identification of 29 plasmalogen species. On average, methylated plasmalogen species from BLE demonstrated 2.81-fold and 28.1-fold sensitivity gains over unmodified counterparts for phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogen species, respectively. Furthermore, the compatibility of employing 13C-TrEnDi and a previously reported iodoacetalization strategy was demonstrated to effectively identify plasmenyl-ether lipids in complex biological extracts at greater levels of sensitivity. Overall, we detail an optimized 13C-TrEnDi derivatization strategy that enables the analysis of plasmalogen glycerophospholipids with no undesired cleavage of radyl groups, boosting their sensitivity in LCMS and LCMS/MS analyses.

Ethanolamine plasmalogens derived from scallops stimulate both follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone secretion by bovine gonadotrophs. Sci Rep 2022; 12:16789. [PMID: 36202862 PMCID: PMC9537335 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-20794-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Brain ethanolamine plasmalogens (EPls) are the only known ligands of G-protein-coupled receptor 61, a novel receptor that stimulates follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), but not luteinizing hormone (LH), secretion by bovine gonadotrophs. We hypothesized that the recently developed neuroprotective EPls extracted from scallop (Pecten yessoensis) (scallop EPls) could stimulate FSH secretion by gonadotrophs. To test this hypothesis, bovine gonadotrophs were cultured for 3.5 days and treated with increasing concentrations of scallop EPls. FSH secretion was stimulated by all tested concentrations of scallop EPls (P < 0.05). Surprisingly, LH secretion was stimulated by both 0.5 (P < 0.05) and 5 (P < 0.01) ng/mL of scallop EPls. To clarify the important differences between bovine brain and scallop EPls, we utilized two-dimensional liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, which revealed 44 peaks, including 10 large peaks. Among them, eight were scallop-specific EPl molecular species, occupying approximately 58% of the total area percentage of scallop EPls. Almost all large peaks contained 4, 5, or 6 unsaturated double bonds in the carbon chain at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone. Our results showed that EPls from scallops, lacking pituitary glands, stimulated both FSH and LH secretion by bovine gonadotrophs.

Abstract
Ether lipids are composed of alkyl lipids with an ether bond at the sn-1 position of a glycerol backbone and alkenyl lipids, which possess a vinyl ether bond at the sn-1 position of the glycerol. These ether glycerolipids are present either as polar glycerophospholipids or neutral glycerolipids. Before studying the biological role of molecular species of ether glycerolipids, there is a need to separate and quantify total alkyl and alkenyl glycerolipids from biological samples in order to determine any variation depending on tissue or physiopathological conditions. Here, we detail the development of the first high-performance thin-layer chromatography method for the quantification of total alkyl and alkenyl glycerolipids thanks to the separation of their corresponding alkyl and alkenyl glycerols. This method starts with a reduction of all lipids after extraction, resulting in the reduction of neutral and polar ether glycerolipids into alkyl and alkenyl glycerols, followed by an appropriate purification and, finally, the linearly ascending development of alkyl and alkenyl glycerols on high-performance thin-layer chromatography plates, staining, carbonization and densitometric analysis. Calibration curves were obtained with commercial alkyl and alkenyl glycerol standards, enabling the quantification of alkyl and alkenyl glycerols in samples and thus directly obtaining the quantity of alkyl and alkenyl lipids present in the samples. Interestingly, we found a differential quantity of these lipids in shark liver oil compared to chimera. We quantified alkyl and alkenyl glycerolipids in periprostatic adipose tissues from human prostate cancer and showed the feasibility of this method in other biological matrices (muscle, tumor).

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death driven by biochemical processes that promote oxidation within the lipid compartment. Calcium (Ca2+) is a signaling molecule in diverse cellular processes such as migration, neurotransmission, and cell death. Here, we uncover a crucial link between ferroptosis and Ca2+ through the identification of the novel tetraspanin MS4A15. MS4A15 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it blocks ferroptosis by depleting luminal Ca2+ stores and reprogramming membrane phospholipids to ferroptosis-resistant species. Specifically, prolonged Ca2+ depletion inhibits lipid elongation and desaturation, driving lipid droplet dispersion and formation of shorter, more saturated ether lipids that protect phospholipids from ferroptotic reactive species. We further demonstrate that increasing luminal Ca2+ levels can preferentially sensitize refractory cancer cell lines. In summary, MS4A15 regulation of anti-ferroptotic lipid reservoirs provides a key resistance mechanism that is distinct from antioxidant and lipid detoxification pathways. Manipulating Ca2+ homeostasis offers a compelling strategy to balance cellular lipids and cell survival in ferroptosis-associated diseases.

Abstract
Plasmalogens (Pls) levels are reported to be altered in several neurological and metabolic diseases. Identification of sn-1 fatty alcohols and sn-2 fatty acids of different Pls species is necessary to determine the roles and mechanisms of action of Pls in different diseases. Previously, full-scan tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was used for this purpose but is not effective for low-abundance Pls species. Recently, multiplexed selected reaction monitoring MS (SRM/MS) was found to be more selective and sensitive than conventional full-scan MS/MS for the identification of low-abundance compounds. In the present study, we developed a liquid chromatography (LC)-targeted multiplexed SRM/MS system for the identification and quantification of different Pls choline (Pls-PC) and Pls ethanolamine (Pls-PE) species. We determined five precursor-product ion transitions to identify sn-1 and sn-2 fragments of each Pls species. Consequently, sn-1 and sn-2 fatty acyl chains of 22 Pls-PC and 55 Pls-PE species were identified in mouse brain samples. Among them, some species had C20:0 and C20:1 fatty alcohols at the sn-1 position. For quantification of Pls species in mouse brain samples, a single SRM transition was employed. Thus, our results suggest that the LC-targeted multiplexed SRM/MS system is very sensitive for the identification and quantification of low-abundance lipids such as Pls, and is thus expected to make a significant contribution to basic and clinical research in this field in the future.

Abstract
Plasmalogens are a class of phospholipids containing vinyl ether linked aliphatic groups at the sn-1 position. Plasmalogens are known to contain 16- and 18-carbon aliphatic groups at the sn-1 position. Here, we reveal that the human neutrophil plasmenylethanolamine pool uniquely includes molecular species with very long carbon chain (VLC) aliphatic groups, including 20-, 22- and 24-carbon vinyl ether linked aliphatic groups at the sn-1 position. We identified these novel VLC plasmalogen species by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry methods. VLC plasmalogens were only found in the neutrophil plasmenylethanolamine pool. During neutrophil activation, VLC plasmenylethanolamines undergo myeloperoxidase-dependent oxidation to produce VLC 2-chlorofatty aldehyde and its oxidation product, 2-chlorofatty acid (2-ClFA). Furthermore, plasma concentrations of VLC 2-ClFA are elevated in human sepsis. These studies demonstrate for the first time VLC plasmenylethanolamine molecular species, their myeloperoxidase-mediated chlorolipid products and the presence of these chlorolipids in human sepsis.

Abstract
Oysters are widely distributed worldwide, but are mainly concentrated in tropics and subtropics. Total lipid (TL), fatty acid (FA) composition of TL and polar lipid (PoL) fractions, phospholipid (PL) class, and molecular species composition in soft tissues of Crassostrea lugubris were investigated for the first time from Vietnam. Phosphatidylglycolic acid (PGA) is the new phospholipid class first identified in marine species in general and Crassostrea lugubris in particular. Main eight classes of PL were determined in PoL fraction: diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylserine (PS), ceramide aminoethylphosphonate (CAEP), CAEP with hydroxylated FAs (CAEP-OH), and lysophosphatidylcholine. PE and PC accounted for approximately 63% of total known PL. Polyunsaturated FAs accounted for more than 30% of TL. Ninety molecular species of glycerophospholipids, including PGA, PE, PC, PS, PI, DPG, and PG, and sphingophosphonolipids (CAEP) were identified in PoL. Alkenyl-acyl forms of glycerophospholipids were predominated in the molecular species of PGA, PE, and PS. PGA 38:1 (p18:0/20:1), PE 40:6 (p18:0/22:6 and p18:1/22:5), PC 30:0 (14:0/16:0), PS 38:1 (p18:0/20:1), PI 40:5 (20:1/20:4), PG 32:0 (16:0/16:0), DPG 88:24 (22:6/22:6/22:6/22:6), and CAEP 34:2 (d18:2/16:0) were major molecular species.

Abstract
Oyster is rich in plasmalogens that are ether phospholipids with biological functions to human body. Air-frying is a popular technique for preparing delicious oyster but makes the plasmalogens vulnerable to oxidation. In this study, the effect of air-frying processing on plasmalogens oxidation was studied by lipidomic approach. Plasmalogens were always mixed with normal phospholipids, thus the lipid extract was treated with mild acid hydrolysis to rapidly degrade plasmalogens owing to the acid lability of vinyl ether linkage at sn-1 position. After hydrophilic interaction chromatography MS/MS analysis, there were three plasmalogen classes, plasmanylcholine, plasmanylethanolamine, and plasmanylinositol, completely separated, and each plasmalogen molecular species was identified and quantified. It indicated that the content of plasmalogens underwent an obvious decrease during the air-frying process. To weaken such effect, the influence of air-frying temperature was further inspected by multivariate statistical analyses. The main variables, including the ions of m/z 756.4927, 784.5486, 828.5812, etc., were revealed by unsupervised principle component analysis, supervised orthogonal partial least-square analysis, and variable importance in projection plot. As a conclusion, air-frying has health benefits in reducing fat content but destructive to plasmalogens, thus interventions are recommended to prevent the degradation of plasmalogens.

Abstract
This study has extended previous metabolic measures in postmortem tissues (frontal and parietal lobes, pons, cerebellum, hippocampus, and cerebral cortex) obtained from a 37-year-old male patient with succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD) who expired from SUDEP (sudden unexplained death in epilepsy). Histopathologic characterization of fixed cortex and hippocampus revealed mild to moderate astrogliosis, especially in white matter. Analysis of total phospholipid mass in all sections of the patient revealed a 61% increase in cortex and 51% decrease in hippocampus as compared to (n = 2-4) approximately age-matched controls. Examination of mass and molar composition of major phospholipid classes showed decreases in phospholipids enriched in myelin, such as phosphatidylserine, sphingomyelin, and ethanolamine plasmalogen. Evaluation of gene expression (RT2 Profiler PCR Arrays, GABA, glutamate; Qiagen) revealed dysregulation in 14/15 GABAA receptor subunits in cerebellum, parietal, and frontal lobes with the most significant downregulation in ∊, θ, ρ1, and ρ2 subunits (7.7-9.9-fold). GABAB receptor subunits were largely unaffected, as were ionotropic glutamate receptors. The metabotropic glutamate receptor 6 was consistently downregulated (maximum 5.9-fold) as was the neurotransmitter transporter (GABA), member 13 (maximum 7.3-fold). For other genes, consistent dysregulation was seen for interleukin 1β (maximum downregulation 9.9-fold) and synuclein α (maximal upregulation 6.5-fold). Our data provide unique insight into SSADHD brain function, confirming astrogliosis and lipid abnormalities previously observed in the null mouse model while highlighting long-term effects on GABAergic/glutamatergic gene expression in this disorder.

Abstract
Recent advances in analytical techniques have greatly enhanced the depth of coverage, however lipidomic studies are still restricted to analysing only a subset of known lipids. Numerous complementary techniques are used for investigation of cellular lipidomes, including mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance and vibrational spectroscopy. The development in electrospray ionization (ESI) MS has accelerated lipidomics research in the past two decades and represents one of the most widely used technique. The versatility of ESI-MS systems allows development of methods to detect and quantify a large diversity of lipid species and classes. However, highly targeted and specific approaches can preclude global analysis of many lipid classes. Indeed, experimental procedures are generally optimised for the lipid species, or lipid class of interest. Therefore, careful consideration of experimental procedures is required for characterisation of biological lipidomes. The current review will describe the lipidomic approaches for considering tissue lipid physiology. Discussion of the main sequences in a lipidomics workflow will be presented, including preparation of samples, accurate quantitation of lipid species and statistical modelling.

Abstract
The plasmalogens are a class of glycerophospholipids which contain a vinyl-ether and an ester bond at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively, in the glycerol backbone. They constitute 10 mol% of the total mass of phospholipids in humans, mainly as membrane structure components. Plasmalogens are important for the organization and stability of lipid raft microdomains and cholesterol-rich membrane regions involved in cellular signaling. In addition to their structural roles, a subset of ether lipids are thought to function as endogenous antioxidants and emerging studies suggest that they are involved in cell differentiation and signaling pathways. Although the clinical significance of plasmalogens is linked to peroxisomal disorders, the pathophysiological roles and their possible metabolic pathways are not fully understood since they present unique structural attributes for the different tissue types. Studies suggest that changes in plasmalogen metabolism may contribute to the development of various types of cancer. Here, we review the molecular characteristics of plasmalogens in order to significantly increase our understanding of the plasmalogen molecule and its involvement in gastrointestinal cancers as well as other types of cancers.

Abstract
Plasmalogen synthesis can be analyzed by metabolic labeling, followed by the separation of ethanolamine plasmalogens from glycerophospholipids on one-dimensional thin-layer chromatography. The vinyl-ether bond of plasmalogens is acid-labile, which allows separating plasmalogens as 2-acyl-glycerophospholipids from diacyl-glycerophospholipids.

Abstract
Ethanolamine ether phospholipid (eEtnGpl) and choline ether phospholipid (eChoGpl) are present in human plasma or serum, but the relative concentration of the ether phospholipids in plasma is very low as compared to those in other tissues. Nowadays, measurement of ether phospholipids in plasma depends on tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), but a system for LC/MS/MS is generally too expensive for usual clinical laboratories. Treatment of plasma with phospholipase A1 (PLA1) causes complete hydrolysis of diacylphospholipids, but ether phospholipids remain intact. After the treatment of plasma with PLA1, both eEtnGpl and eChoGpl are detected as independent peaks by high-performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC–ELSD). The same sample used for HPLC–ELSD can be applied to detect eEtnGpl and eChoGpl with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Presence of alkylacylphospholipids in both eChoGpl and eEtnGpl in human plasma was indicated by sequential hydrolysis of plasma with PLA1 and hydrochloric acid.

Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen responsible for loss of eyesight through trachoma and for millions of cases annually of sexually transmitted diseases. The bacteria develop within a membrane-bounded inclusion. They lack enzymes for several biosynthetic pathways, including those to make some phospholipids, and exploit their host to compensate. Three-dimensional fluorescence microscopy demonstrates that small organelles of the host, peroxisomes, are translocated into the Chlamydia inclusion and are found adjacent to the bacteria. In cells deficient for peroxisome biogenesis the bacteria are able to multiply and give rise to infectious progeny, demonstrating that peroxisomes are not essential for bacterial development in vitro. Mass spectrometry-based lipidomics reveal the presence in C. trachomatis of plasmalogens, ether phospholipids whose synthesis begins in peroxisomes and have never been described in aerobic bacteria before. Some of the bacterial plasmalogens are novel structures containing bacteria-specific odd-chain fatty acids; they are not made in uninfected cells nor in peroxisome-deficient cells. Their biosynthesis is thus accomplished by the metabolic collaboration of peroxisomes and bacteria.

Abstract
Fetal alcohol syndrome is the most severe expression of the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Although alterations in fetal and neonate brain fatty acid composition and cholesterol content are known to occur in animal models of FASD, the persistence of these alterations into adulthood is unknown. To address this question, we determined the effect of prenatal ethanol exposure on individual phospholipid class fatty acid composition, individual phospholipid class mass, and cholesterol mass in brains from 25-week-old rats that were exposed to ethanol during gestation beginning at gestational day 2. While total phospholipid mass was unaffected, phosphatidylinositol and cardiolipin mass was decreased 14 and 43 %, respectively. Exposure to prenatal ethanol modestly altered brain phospholipid fatty acid composition, and the most consistent change was a significant 1.1-fold increase in total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), in the n-3/n-6 ratio, and in the 22:6n-3 content in ethanolamine glycerophospholipids and in phosphatidylserine. In contrast, prenatal ethanol consumption significantly increased brain cholesterol mass 1.4-fold and the phospholipid to cholesterol ratio was significantly increased 1.3-fold. These results indicate that brain cholesterol mass was significantly increased in adult rats exposed prenatally to ethanol, but changes in phospholipid mass and phospholipid fatty acid composition were extremely limited. Importantly, suppression of postnatal ethanol consumption was not sufficient to reverse the large increase in cholesterol observed in the adult rats.

Abstract
A reaction strategy involving functional group selective modification of the O-alkenyl-ether double bond within plasmenyl ether containing lipids using iodine and methanol, in conjunction with functional group selective derivatization of amine-containing lipids using a novel (13)C1-S,S'-dimethylthiobutanoylhydroxysuccinimide ester ((13)C1-DMBNHS) reagent, is shown to improve the capabilities of 'shotgun' high resolution/accurate mass spectrometry for comprehensive lipidome analysis. Importantly, the characteristic mass shifts introduced as a result of these derivatization reactions enables the resolution and unambiguous identification of isobaric mass plasmenyl- and plasmanyl-ether containing lipid species from within crude complex lipid extracts, without need for chromatographic fractionation or additional lipid extraction steps prior to analysis. Additionally, the positive ionization mode tandem mass spectrometry fragmentation behavior of the derivatized plasmenyl ether containing glycerophosphocholine and glycerophosphoethanolamine lipids are shown to yield abundant characteristic product ions that directly enable the assignment of their molecular lipid identities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many disorders with plasmalogen deficiency have been reported. Replenishment or replacement of tissue plasmalogens of these disorders would be beneficial to the patients with these disorders, but effects of dietary plasmalogen on mammals have not been reported. METHODS Plasmalogens were purified from chicken skin. The purified plasmalogens consisted of 96.4% ethanolamine plasmalogen (PlsEtn), 2.4% choline plasmalogen (PlsCho) and 0.5% sphingomyelin (SM). A diet containing 0.1% the purified plasmalogens (PlsEtn diet) was given to rats. Relative composition of phospholipids was measured by a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method that can separate intact plasmalogens and all other phospholipid classes by a single chromatographic run. RESULTS The PlsEtn diet given to Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats for 4 weeks caused decreases of plasma cholesterol and plasma phospholipid as compared to control diet. The other routine laboratory tests of plasma including triacylglycerol, glucose, liver and renal functions, albumin, and body weight were not different. Relative compositions of erythrocyte PlsEtn and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) increased, and that of phosphatidylcholine (PC) decreased in PlsEtn diet group. The PlsEtn diet given to normal rats for 9 weeks again caused decrease of plasma cholesterol and phospholipid, and it induced increase of relative composition of PlsEtn of the erythrocyte membrane. The other routine laboratory tests of plasma and body weight were not different. CONCLUSIONS Dietary PlsEtn increases relative composition of PlsEtn of erythrocyte membranes in normal and ZDF rats, and it causes decreases of plasma cholesterol and plasma phospholipids. Dietary PlsEtn for 9 weeks seemingly causes no adverse effect to health of normal rats.

Abstract
A "shotgun" lipidomics strategy consisting of sequential functional group selective chemical modification reactions coupled with high-resolution/accurate mass spectrometry and "targeted" tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis has been developed and applied toward the comprehensive identification, characterization and quantitative analysis of changes in relative abundances of >600 individual glycerophospholipid, glycerolipid, sphingolipid and sterol lipids between a primary colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line, SW480, and its isogenic lymph node metastasized derivative, SW620. Selective chemical derivatization of glycerophosphoethanolamine and glycerophosphoserine lipids using a "fixed charge" sulfonium ion containing, d(6)-S,S'-dimethylthiobutanoylhydroxysuccinimide ester (d(6)-DMBNHS) reagent was used to eliminate the possibility of isobaric mass overlap of these species with the precursor ions of all other lipids in the crude extracts, thereby enabling their unambiguous assignment, while subsequent selective mild acid hydrolysis of plasmenyl (vinyl-ether) containing lipids using formic acid enabled these species to be readily differentiated from isobaric mass plasmanyl (alkyl-ether) containing lipids. Using this approach, statistically significant differences in the abundances of numerous lipid species previously identified as being associated with cancer progression or that play known roles as mediators in a range of physiological and pathological processes were observed between the SW480 and SW620 cells. Most notably, these included increased plasmanylcholine and triglyceride lipid levels, decreased plasmenylethanolamine lipids, decreased C-16 containing sphingomyelin and ceramide lipid levels, and a dramatic increase in the abundances of total cholesterol ester and triglyceride lipids in the SW620 cells compared to those in the SW480 cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The results of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications cohort study revealed a strong association between dyslipidemia and the development of diabetic retinopathy. However, there are no experimental data on retinal fatty acid metabolism in diabetes. This study determined retinal-specific fatty acid metabolism in control and diabetic animals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Tissue gene and protein expression profiles were determined by quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot in control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats at 3-6 weeks of diabetes. Fatty acid profiles were assessed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, and phospholipid analysis was performed by nano-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS We found a dramatic difference between retinal and liver elongase and desaturase profiles with high elongase and low desaturase gene expression in the retina compared with liver. Elovl4, an elongase expressed in the retina but not in the liver, showed the greatest expression level among retinal elongases, followed by Elovl2, Elovl1, and Elovl6. Importantly, early-stage diabetes induced a marked decrease in retinal expression levels of Elovl4, Elovl2, and Elovl6. Diabetes-induced downregulation of retinal elongases translated into a significant decrease in total retinal docosahexaenoic acid, as well as decreased incorporation of very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly 32:6n3, into retinal phosphatidylcholine. This decrease in n3 PUFAs was coupled with inflammatory status in diabetic retina, reflected by an increase in gene expression of proinflammatory markers interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1. CONCLUSIONS This is the first comprehensive study demonstrating diabetes-induced changes in retinal fatty acid metabolism. Normalization of retinal fatty acid levels by dietary means or/and modulating expression of elongases could represent a potential therapeutic target for diabetes-induced retinal inflammation.

Abstract
In a rat model of neuroinflammation, produced by a 6-day intracerebral ventricular infusion of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we reported that the brain concentrations of non-esterified brain arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4 n-6) and its eicosanoid products PGE(2) and PGD(2) were increased, as were AA turnover rates in certain brain phospholipids and the activity of AA-selective cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)). The activity of Ca(2+)-independent iPLA(2), which is thought to be selective for the release of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) from membrane phospholipid, was unchanged. In the present study, we measured parameters of brain DHA metabolism in comparable artificial cerebrospinal fluid (control) and LPS-infused rats. In contrast to the reported changes in markers of AA metabolism, the brain non-esterified DHA concentration and DHA turnover rates in individual phospholipids were not significantly altered by LPS infusion. The formation rates of AA-CoA and DHA-CoA in a microsomal brain fraction were also unaltered by the LPS infusion. These observations indicate that LPS-treatment upregulates markers of brain AA but not DHA metabolism. All of which are consistent with other evidence that suggest different sets of enzymes regulate AA and DHA recycling within brain phospholipids and that only selective increases in brain AA metabolism occur following a 6-day LPS infusion.

Abstract
A "shotgun" tandem mass spectrometry (MS) approach involving the use of multiple lipid-class-specific precursor ion and neutral loss scan mode experiments has been employed to identify and characterize the glycerophosphatidylethanolamine (GPEtn) lipids that were present within a crude lipid extract of a normal rat retina, obtained with minimal sample handling prior to analysis. Characterization of these lipids was performed by complementary analysis of their protonated and deprotonated precursor ions, as well as their various ionic adducts (e.g., Na(+), Cl(-)), using a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer. Notably, the application of novel precursor ion and neutral loss scans of m/z 164 and m/z 43, respectively, for the specific identification of sodiated GPEtn precursor ions following the addition of 500 microM NaCl to the crude lipid extracts was demonstrated. The use of these novel MS/MS scans in parallel provided simplified MS/MS spectra and enhanced the detection of 1-alkenyl, 2-acyl (plasmenyl) GPEtn lipids relative to the positive ion mode neutral loss m/z 141 commonly used for GPEtn analysis. Furthermore, the novel use of a "low energy" neutral loss scan mode experiment to monitor for the exclusive loss of 36m/z (HCl) from [M+Cl](-) GPEtn adducts was demonstrated to provide a more than 25-fold enhancement for the detection of GPEtn lipids in negative ion mode analysis. Subsequent "high-energy" pseudo MS(3) product ion scans on the precursor ions identified from this experiment were then employed to rapidly characterize the fatty acyl chain substituents of the GPEtn lipids.

Abstract
The molecular diversity of phospholipids is essential for their structural and signaling functions in cell membranes. In the current work, we present, the results of mass spectrometric characterization of individual molecular species in major classes of phospholipids -- phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho), phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), sphingomyelin (CerPCho), and cardiolipin (Ptd(2)Gro) -- and their oxidation products during apoptosis induced in neurons by staurosporine (STS). The diversity of molecular species of phospholipids in rat cortical neurons followed the order Ptd(2)Gro > PtdEtn >> PtdCho >> PtdSer > PtdIns > CerPCho. The number of polyunsaturated oxidizable species decreased in the order Ptd(2)Gro >> PtdEtn > PtdCho > PtdSer > PtdIns > CerPCho. Thus a relatively minor class of phospholipids, Ptd(2)Gro, was represented in cortical neurons by the greatest variety of both total and peroxidizable molecular species. Quantitative fluorescence HPLC analysis employed to assess the oxidation of different classes of phospholipids in neuronal cells during intrinsic apoptosis induced by STS revealed that three anionic phospholipids -- Ptd(2)Gro >> PtdSer > PtdIns -- underwent robust oxidation. No significant oxidation in the most dominant phospholipid classes -- PtdCho and PtdEtn -- was detected. MS-studies revealed the presence of hydroxy-, hydroperoxy- as well as hydroxy-/hydroperoxy-species of Ptd(2)Gro, PtdSer, and PtdIns. Experiments in model systems where total cortex Ptd(2)Gro and PtdSer fractions were incubated in the presence of cytochrome c (cyt c) and H(2)O(2), confirmed that molecular identities of the products formed were similar to the ones generated during STS-induced neuronal apoptosis. The temporal sequence of biomarkers of STS-induced apoptosis and phospholipid peroxidation combined with recently demonstrated redox catalytic properties of cyt c realized through its interactions with Ptd(2)Gro and PtdSer suggest that cyt c acts as a catalyst of selective peroxidation of anionic phospholipids yielding Ptd(2)Gro and PtdSer peroxidation products. These oxidation products participate in mitochondrial membrane permeability transition and in PtdSer externalization leading to recognition and uptake of apoptotic cells by professional phagocytes.

Abstract
Plasmalogens are a unique subclass of glycerophospholipids characterized by the presence of a vinyl ether bond at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone, and they are found in high concentration in cellular membranes of many mammalian tissues. However, separation of plasmalogens as intact phospholipids has not been reported. This article describes a high-performance liquid chromatographic method that can separate intact ethanolamine plasmalogens (pl-PEs) and choline plasmalogens (pl-PCs) as well as all other phospholipid classes usually found in mammalian tissues by a single chromatographic run. The separation was obtained using an HPLC diol column and a gradient of a hexane/isopropanol/water system containing 1% acetic acid and 0.08% triethylamine. The HPLC method allowed a clear separation of plasmalogens from their diacyl analogues. The HPLC method, as applied to the study of peroxidation in human erythrocytes by a hydroperoxide, demonstrated that pl-PEs were targeted twice as much as their diacyl analogues.

Abstract
Because alpha-synuclein (Snca) has a role in brain lipid metabolism, we determined the impact that Snca deletion had on whole brain lipid composition. We analysed masses of individual phospholipid (PL) classes and neutral lipid mass as well as PL acyl chain composition in brains from wild-type and Snca-/- mice. Although total brain PL mass was not altered, cardiolipin and phosphatidylglycerol mass decreased 16% and 27%, respectively, in Snca-/- mice. In addition, no changes were observed in plasmalogen or polyphosphoinositide mass. In ethanolamine glycerophospholipids and phosphatidylserine, docosahexaenoic acid (22 : 6n-3) was decreased 7%, while 16 : 0 was increased 1.1-fold and 1.4-fold, respectively. Surprisingly, brain cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, and triacylglycerol mass were increased 1.1-fold, 1.6-fold, and 1.4-fold, respectively in Snca-/- mice. In isolated myelin, cholesterol mass was also increased 1.3-fold, but because there was also a net increase in myelin PL mass, the cholesterol to PL ratio was unaltered. No changes in the expression of cholesterogenic enzymes were observed, suggesting these did not account for the observed changes in cholesterol. These data extend our previous results in astrocytes and kinetic studies in vivo demonstrating a role for Snca in brain lipid metabolism and demonstrate a clear impact on brain neutral lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Phospholipid changes occur in brain regions affected by Alzheimer disease (AD), including a marked reduction in plasmalogens, which could diminish brain function either by directly altering signaling events or by bulk membrane effects. However, model systems for studying the dynamics of lipid biosynthesis in AD are lacking. To determine if fibroblasts bearing the Swedish amyloid precursor protein (swAPP) mutation are a useful model to study the mechanism(s) associated with altered phospholipid biosynthesis in AD, we examined the steady-state phospholipid mass and composition of fibroblasts, including plasmalogens. We found a 15% increase in total phospholipid mass, accounted for by a 24% increase in the combined total of phosphatidylethanolamine and plasmanylethanolamine mass and a 19% increase in the combined total of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) and plasmanycholine (PakCho) mass in the swAPP mutant bearing fibroblasts. Cholesterol mass was unchanged in these cells. The changes in phospholipid mass did not alter the cellular molar composition of the phospholipids nor the cholesterol to phospholipid ratio. While plasmalogen mass was not altered, the ratio of choline plasmalogen (PlsCho) mass to PtdCho+PakCho mass was decreased 16% and there was a 14% reduction in the proportion of PlsCho as a percent of total phospholipids in the swAPP mutant bearing fibroblasts. This change in choline plasmalogen is consistent with the reported decreases in plasmalogen proportions in affected regions of AD brain, suggesting that these cells may serve as a useful model to determine the mechanism underlying changes in plasmalogen biosynthesis in AD brain.

Abstract
Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency, a rare genetic defect of GABA degradation recently modelled in mice (SSADH(-/-) mice), manifests early absence seizures that evolve into generalized convulsive seizures and lethal status epilepticus in gene-ablated mice. Disrupted GABA homeostasis, in conjunction with the epileptic phenotype and increased gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), suggested that expression profiling with the U74Av2 Affymetrix system would reveal dysregulation of receptor genes associated with GABAergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission. Unexpectedly, we found significant downregulation for genes associated with myelin biogenesis and compaction, predominantly in hippocampus and cortex. These results were confirmed by: (1) myelin basic protein (MBP) immunohistochemistry; (2) western blotting of myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) and MBP; (3) qRT-PCR analyses of myelin-associated oligodendrocytic basic protein (MOBP), MAG, MBP and proteolipid protein (PLP) in hippocampus, cortex and spinal cord; (4) quantitation of ethanolamine and choline plasmalogens, all core myelin components; (5) evaluation of myelin content in brain sections employing toluidine blue staining; and (6) ultrastructural evaluation of myelin sheath thickness via electron microscopy. We speculate that increased GABA/GHB, acting through GABAergic systems, results in decreased levels of the neurosteroids progesterone and allopregnanolone [Gupta et al (2003) Ann Neurol 54(Supplement 6): S81-S90] and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, with resulting myelin protein abnormalities primarily in the cortex of SSADH(-/-) mice.

Abstract
Fish oil-enriched diets increase n-3 FA in tissue phospholipids; however, a similar effect by plant-derived n-3 FA is poorly defined. To address this question, we determined mass changes in phospholipid FA, individual phospholipid classes, and cholesterol in the liver, heart, and brain of rats fed diets enriched in flax oil (rich in 18:3n-3), fish oil (rich in 22:6n-3 and 20:5n-3), or safflower oil (rich in 18:2n-6) for 8 wk. In the heart and liver phospholipids, 22:6n-3 levels increased only in the fish oil group, although rats fed flax oil accumulated 20:5n-3 and 22:5n-3. However, in the brain, the flax and fish oil diets increased the phospholipid 22:6n-3 mass. In all tissues, these diets decreased the 20:4n-6 mass, although the effect was more marked in the fish oil than in the flax oil group. Although these data do not provide direct evidence for 18:3n-3 elongation and desaturation by the brain, they demonstrate that 18:3n-3-enriched diets reduced tissue 20:4n-6 levels and increased cellular n-3 levels in a tissue-dependent manner. We hypothesize, based on the lack of increased 22:6n-3 but increased 18:3n-3 in the liver and heart, that the flax oil diet increased circulating 18:3n-3, thereby presenting tissue with this EFA for further elongation and desaturation.

Abstract
Glycerol kinase (ATP:glycerol-3-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.30, glycerokinase) (Gyk) has a central role in plasma glycerol extraction and utilization by tissues for lipid biosynthesis. Gyk deficiency causes various phenotypic changes ranging from asymptomatic hyperglycerolemia to a severe metabolic disorder with growth and psychomotor retardation. To better understand the potential role of Gyk in tissue lipid metabolism, we determined phospholipid (PL), cholesterol (Chol), and triacylglycerol (TG) mass in a number of tissues from mice lacking Gyk. We report a tissue-dependent response to Gyk gene deletion. Tissues with elevated total PL mass (brain, kidney, muscle) were characterized by the increased mass of ethanolamine glycerophospholipids (EtnGpl), choline glycerophospholipids, and phosphatidylserine (PtdSer). In heart, lipid changes were characterized by a reduction in total PL, including decreased EtnGpl, phosphatidylinositol, and PtdSer mass and decreased TG and FFA mass. In parallel with tissue PL alterations, tissue Chol was also changed, maintaining a normal Chol/PL ratio. Under conditions of Gyk deficiency, we speculate that glycerol-3-phosphate and lipid production is maintained via alternative biosynthesis, including glycolysis, glyceroneogenesis, or by direct acylation of glycerol in brain, muscle, kidney, and liver, but not in heart.

Abstract
Aging is one of the unique features in all organisms. The impaired functional capacity of many systems characterizes aging. When such impairments occur in the brain, the susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases amplifies considerably. The free radical theory of aging posits that the functional impairments in brains are due to the attack on critical cellular components by free radicals, reactive oxygen species, and reactive nitrogen species produced during normal metabolism. In this review, we examine this concept based on the parameters of oxidative stress in correlation to aging. The parameters for lipid peroxidation are phospholipid composition, reactive aldehydes, and isoprostanes. The parameters for protein oxidation are protein carbonyl levels, protein 3-nitrotyrosine levels, electron paramagnetic resonance, and oxidative stress-sensitive enzyme activities. We conclude that free radicals are, at least partially, responsible for the functional impairment in aged brains. The aging brain, under oxidative stress, responds by induction of various protective genes, among which is heme oxygenase. The products of the reaction catalyzed by heme oxygenase, carbon monoxide, iron, and biliverdin (later to bilirubin) each have profound effects on neurons. Although there may be other factors contributing to brain aging, free radicals are involved in the damaging processes associated with brain aging, and cellular stress response genes are induced under free radical oxidative stress. Therefore, this review supports the proposition that free radicals are, indeed, a key to brain aging.

Abstract
Cell culture systems have demonstrated a role for cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) in lipid metabolism, although a similar function in intact animals is unknown. We addressed this issue using heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) gene-ablated mice. H-FABP gene ablation reduced total heart fatty acid uptake 40 and 52% for [1-(14)C]16:0 and [1-(14)C]20:4n-6 compared with controls, respectively. Similarly, the amount of fatty acid found in the aqueous fraction was reduced 40 and 52% for [1-(14)C]16:0 and [1-(14)C]20:4n-6, respectively. Less [1-(14)C]16:0 entered the triacylglycerol pool, with significant redistribution of fatty acid between the triacylglycerol pool and the total phospholipid pool. Less [1-(14)C]20:4n-6 entered each lipid pool measured, but these changes did not alter the distribution of tracer among these pools. In gene-ablated mice, significantly more [1-(14)C]16:0 was targeted to choline and ethanolamine glycerophospholipids, whereas more [1-(14)C]20:4n-6 was targeted to the phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) pool. H-FABP gene ablation significantly increased PtdIns mass 1.4-fold but reduced PtdIns 20:4n-6 mass 30%. Consistent with a reported effect of FABP on plasmalogen mass, ethanolamine plasmalogen mass was reduced 30% in gene-ablated mice. Further, 20:4n-6 mass was reduced in each of the three other major phospholipid classes, suggesting H-FABP has a role in maintaining steady-state 20:4n-6 mass in heart. In summary, H-FABP was important for heart fatty acid uptake and targeting of fatty acids to specific heart lipid pools as well as for maintenance of phospholipid pool mass and acyl chain composition.

Abstract
We reviewed here the formation of free radicals and its effect physiologically. Studies mentioned above have indicated that free radical/ROS/RNS involvement in brain aging is direct as well as correlative. Increasing evidence demonstrates that accumulation of oxidation of DNA, proteins, and lipids by free radicals are responsible for the functional decline in aged brains. Also, lipid peroxidation products, such as MDA, HNE, and acrolein, were reported to react with DNA and proteins to produce further damage in aged brains. Therefore, the impact of free radicals on brain aging is pronounced. It has been estimated that 10,000 oxidative interactions occur between DNA and endogenously generated free radicals per human cell per day, and at least one of every three proteins in the cell of older animals is dysfunctional as an enzyme or structural protein, due to oxidative modification. Although these estimated numbers reveal that free radical-mediated protein and DNA modification play significant roles in the deterioration of aging brain, they do not imply that free radical damages are the only cause of functional decline in aged brain. Nevertheless,although other factors may be involved in the cascade of damaging effects in the brain, the key role of free radicals in this process cannot be underestimated. This article has examined the role and formation of free radicals in brain aging. We propose that free radicals are critical to cell damage in aged brain and endogenous, and that exogenous antioxidants, therefore, may play effective roles in therapeutic strategies for age-related neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
In a rat model of acute neuroinflammation, produced by a 6-day intracerebral ventricular infusion of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we measured brain activities and protein levels of three phospholipases A2 (PLA2) and of cyclo-oxygenase-1 and -2, and quantified other aspects of brain phospholipid and fatty acid metabolism. The 6-day intracerebral ventricular infusion increased lectin-reactive microglia in the cerebral ventricles, pia mater, and the glial membrane of the cortex and resulted in morphological changes of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive astrocytes in the cortical mantel and areas surrounding the cerebral ventricles. LPS infusion increased brain cytosolic and secretory PLA2 activities by 71% and 47%, respectively, as well as the brain concentrations of non-esterified linoleic and arachidonic acids, and of prostaglandins E2 and D2. LPS infusion also increased rates of incorporation and turnover of arachidonic acid in phosphatidylethanolamine, plasmenylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, and plasmenylcholine by 1.5- to 2.8-fold, without changing these rates in phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylinositol. These observations suggest that selective alterations in brain arachidonic acid metabolism involving cytosolic and secretory PLA2 contribute to early pathology in neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Nano-electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICRMS) was applied to identify the molecular species of phosphatidylethanolamine of Caenorhabditis elegans, which has a high concentration of phospholipids with a fatty acyl chain having an odd number of carbon atoms. The molecular species of diacyl phosphatidylethanolamine with one fatty acyl chain having an odd number of carbon atoms and one fatty acyl chain having an even number of carbon atoms was identified separately from alkyl-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine with an alkyl chain having an even number of carbon atoms and a fatty acyl chain having an even number of carbon atoms. Furthermore, nano-ESI-FTICRMS was applied to the direct identification of oxidized phosphatidylcholine from soybean. The mass peaks of individual molecular species of oxidative phosphatidylcholine, such as 34:3 diacyl phosphatidylcholine with peroxide (+2O) (m/z 788.544) or 34:2 diacyl phosphatidylcholine with peroxide (+2O) (m/z 790.560), can be separated from the peaks of the molecular species of the non-oxidative phospholipids. This suggests that the mass peaks with a difference of less than 0.1 mass units in their molecular weight can be separated and that their individual exact molecular compositions can be obtained by the FTICRMS analysis. The high resolution and high accuracy of FTICRMS are very effective in the analysis of molecular species of phospholipids and their derivatives.

Abstract
We examined brain phospholipid metabolism in mice in which the cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2,) Type IV, 85 kDa) was knocked out (cPLA(2)(-/-) mice). Compared with controls, these mice demonstrated altered brain concentrations of several phospholipids, reduced esterified linoleate, arachidonate, and docosahexaenoate in choline glycerophospholipid, and reduced esterified arachidonate in phosphatidylinositol. Unanesthetized cPLA(2)(-/-) mice had reduced rates of incorporation of unlabeled arachidonate from plasma and from the brain arachidonoyl-CoA pool into ethanolamine glycerophospholipid and choline glycerophospholipid, but elevated rates into phosphatidylinositol. These differences corresponded to altered turnover and metabolic loss of esterified brain arachidonate. These results suggests that cPLA(2) is necessary to maintain normal brain concentrations of phospholipids and of their esterified polyunsaturated fatty acids. Reduced esterified arachidonate and docosahexaenoate may account for the resistance of the cPLA(2)(-/-) mouse to middle cerebral artery occlusion, and should influence membrane fluidity, neuroinflammation, signal transduction, and other brain processes.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the alkenyl chains from sheep heart plasmalogens (1-O-alk-1'-enyl-2-acyl glycerophospholipids) after their conversion into trimethylene dioxyalkanyl (TMDOA) derivatives. Particular attention was given to monounsaturated alkenyl chains (C18 mainly). For this purpose, a combination of silver ion TLC and GLC on highly polar, very long capillary columns was applied to TMDOA derivatives. Approximately 30 different alkenyl chains could be separated, and the main observation was that the component previously reported as a cis-9 18:1 alkenyl chain in plasmalogens embraces in fact a wide range of trans and cis isomers, in amounts equal to 7.9 and 5.6%, respectively, of total alkenyl chains. Concerning the trans-monoenoate fraction, isomers with their ethylenic bond spanning from delta6-delta8 to delta16 were tentatively identified on the basis of their distribution profile, which was similar to that of trans-18:1 acids prepared and isolated from sheep adipose tissue. The main trans-monoenoic C18 alkenyl chain in sheep heart plasmalogens would thus have its double bond in position 11, which seems logical, as alkenyl chains are derived from the corresponding alcohols, themselves issued from the corresponding FA, and in this particular case, vaccenic (trans-11 18:1) acid. cis-Monoenoic C18 alkenyl chains also appear more complex than realized earlier, showing in particular isomers with their ethylenic bond farther than the delta9 position, in addition to the main isomer derived from oleic acid. Several trans-16:1 alkenyl chains could be observed (totaling ca. 1%), but cis-16:1 isomers were present in trace amounts only.

Abstract
The peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor beta (delta) (PPARbeta) is a nuclear hormone receptor that is ubiquitously expressed and that regulates the transcription of genes involved in lipid metabolism. A homozygous PPARbeta-null mouse has been developed in which the ligand-binding domain of the PPARbeta receptor is disrupted. Analysis of brains from these animals shows that female null mice have 24 and 17% increases in plasmenylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine and a 9% decrease in the level of phosphatidylinositol when compared to controls. The phospholipid changes found in female null mice were associated with increased levels of esterified 18:1n-9, 20:1n-9, 20:4n-6, and 22:5n-3 FA in plasmenylethanolamine, 20:1n-9 in phosphaticlylinositol, and 18:0, 18:1n-9, 18:3n-6, 20:1 n-9, and 20:4n-6 in phosphatidylserine. Increased levels of esterified 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6, 18:3n-6, and 20:1n-9 were also found in the phosphatidylethanolamine fraction despite its cellular content remaining unchanged. Brain phospholipid content in male PPARbeta-null mice did not differ from controls, but increased levels of 20:1n-9 in the phosphatidylinositol and 18:1n-9 in the phosphatidylserine fractions were observed. No changes were found in the content of brain cholesterol, TAG, and FFA in either female or male PPARbeta-null mice. These data suggest that PPARbeta is involved in maintaining FA and phospholipid levels in adult female mouse brain and provide strong evidence that suggests a role for PPARbeta in brain peroxisomal acyl-CoA utilization.

Abstract
The common mobile phase hexane/isopropanol/water used for separation of phospholipids on high-performance liquid chromatography silica columns poses several problems, such as incomplete separation and rapid column deterioration. By inclusion of 5 mM ammonium sulfate in the aqueous phase, we were able to substantially improve the chromatographic resolution and obtain complete separation of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, cardiolipin, phosphatidylglycerol, and sphingomyelin. In addition, ammonium sulfate prevented column degeneration and greatly improved reproducibility. A new quantitation method for alkenylacyl, alkylacyl, and diacyl forms of phospholipids was also developed based on derivatization with [(3)H]acetic anhydride. Separation and quantitation of the radioactive acetyl diradylglycerols were performed by straight-phase HPLC coupled to a radioactive flow detector and enabled detection of the various ether analogues at the picomole level with high reproducibility. The described methods are mild and nondestructive and can therefore be easily combined with analysis of either molecular species or fatty acid and aldehyde composition of the individual phospholipids.

Abstract
The differential uptake and targeting of intravenously infused [1-14C]palmitic ([1-14C]16:0) and [1-14C]arachidonic ([1-14C]20:4n-6) acids into heart lipid pools were determined in awake adult male rats. The fatty acid tracers were infused (170 microCi/kg) through the femoral vein at a constant rate of 0.4 mL/min over 5 min. At 10 min postinfusion, the rats were killed using pentobarbital. The hearts were rapidly removed, washed free of exogenous blood, and frozen in dry ice. Arterial blood was withdrawn over the course of the experiment to determine plasma radiotracer levels. Lipids were extracted from heart tissue using a two-phase system, and total radioactivity was measured in the nonvolatile aqueous and organic fractions. Both fatty acid tracers had similar plasma curves, but were differentially distributed into heart lipid compartments. The extent of [1-14C]20:4n-6 esterification into heart phospholipids, primarily choline glycerophospholipids, was elevated 3.5-fold compared to [1-14C]16:0. The unilateral incorporation coefficient, k*, which represents tissue radioactivity divided by the integrated plasma radioactivity for heart phospholipid, was sevenfold greater for [1-14C]20:4n-6 than for [1-14C]16:0. In contrast, [1-14C]16:0 was esterified mainly into heart neutral lipids, primarily triacylglycerols (TG), and was also found in the nonvolatile aqueous compartment. Thus, in rat heart, [1-14C]20:4n-6 was primarily targeted for esterification into phospholipids, while [1-14C]16:0 was targeted for esterification into TG or metabolized into nonvolatile aqueous components.

Abstract
Although fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) differentially affect fatty acid uptake, nothing is known regarding their role(s) in determining cellular phospholipid levels and phospholipid fatty acid composition. The effects of liver (L)- and intestinal (I)-FABP expression on these parameters were determined using stably transfected L-cells. Expression of L- and I-FABP increased cellular total phospholipid mass (nmol/mg protein) 1.7- and 1.3-fold relative to controls, respectively. L-FABP expression increased the masses of choline glycerophospholipids (ChoGpl) 1.5-fold, phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) 5.6-fold, ethanolamine glycerophospholipids 1.4-fold, sphingomyelin 1.7-fold, and phosphatidylinositol 2.6-fold. In contrast, I-FABP expression only increased the masses of ChoGpl and PtdSer, 1.2- and 3.1-fold, respectively. Surprisingly, both L- and I-FABP expression increased ethanolamine plasmalogen mass 1.6- and 1.1-fold, respectively, while choline plasmalogen mass was increased 2.3- and 1.7-fold, respectively. The increase in phospholipid levels resulted in dramatic 48 and 33% decreases in the cholesterol-to-phospholipid ratio in L- and I-FABP expressing cells, respectively. L-FABP expression generally increased polyunsaturated fatty acids, primarily by increasing 20:4n-6 and 22:6n-3, while decreasing 18:1n-9 and 16:1n-7. I-FABP expression generally increased only 20:4n-6 proportions. Hence, expression of both I- and L-FABP differentially affected phospholipid mass, class composition, and acyl chain composition. Although both proteins enhanced phospholipid synthesis, the effect of L-FABP was much greater, consistent with previous work suggesting that these two FABP differentially affect lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Phospholipid composition (mol %) and levels (nmol/mg protein) were determined in postmortem frontal cortical and cerebellar gray matter from older Down Syndrome (DS) patients (age range 38-68 years) and from control subjects. Neither DS nor control tissue exhibited any age-dependent alteration in phospholipid composition or levels. Total phospholipid content was significantly reduced approximately 20% in DS frontal cortex and cerebellum relative to these regions in control tissue. Individual phospholipid levels were also reduced in DS frontal cortex and cerebellum, including a specific 37% decrease in phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and a nearly 35% decrease in ethanolamine plasmalogen. Because of the large decrease in phospholipid content in DS brain, the cholesterol/phospholipid ratio was calculated for each group. There was no significant difference in this ratio between groups, indicative of compensatory changes to keep the cholesterol/phospholipid ratio constant. Despite the large changes in DS brain phospholipid levels, significant changes in composition were limited to a 18% decrease in PtdIns mol % and a 22% increase in the mol % of sphingomyelin. These results suggest either a decrease in membrane phospholipids due to a loss of dendrites and dendritic spines, or a general defect in brain lipid metabolism in older DS subjects. The proportionally greater alterations in PtdIns and PlsEtn levels, indicate that the metabolism of these two phospholipids was affected to a greater extent than the other phospholipids. Further, because these changes are found in both the frontal cortical and cerebellar gray matter, they likely are related to the Down syndrome condition rather than to Alzheimer neuropathology.
