Abstract
The G-protein coupled receptor, GPR55, modulates nociceptive processing. Given the expression of GPR55 in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a key brain region involved in the cognitive and affective dimensions of pain, the present study tested the hypothesis that GPR55 signalling in the ACC facilitates inflammatory pain behaviour in rats. The expression of GPR55 in the ACC was confirmed by both western blotting and immunostaining, with evidence for neuronal localisation. Microinjection of the selective GPR55 antagonist CID16020046 into the ACC of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats significantly reduced second phase formalin-evoked nociceptive behaviour compared with vehicle-treated controls. CID16020046 administration was associated with a reduction in phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), a downstream target of GPR55 activation, in the ACC. Intra-ACC administration of CID16020046 prevented the formalin-induced increases in expression of mRNA coding for the immediate early gene and marker of neuronal activity, c-Fos, in the ipsilateral dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Intra-plantar injection of formalin reduced tissue levels of the endogenous GPR55 ligand 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoinositol (2-AGPI) in the ACC, likely reflecting its increased release/utilisation. These data suggest that endogenous activation of GPR55 signalling and increased ERK phosphorylation in the ACC facilitates inflammatory pain via top-down modulation of descending pain control.

Abstract
A family of glycerol-based lysolipid mediators comprises lysophosphatidic acid as a representative phospholipidic member but also a monoacylglycerol as a non-phosphorus-containing member. These critical lysolipid mediators are known to be produced from different lysophospholipids by actions of lysophospholipases C and D in mammals. Some members of the glycerophosphodiesterase (GDE) family have attracted recent attention due to their phospholipid-metabolizing activity. In this study, we found selective depletion of lysophosphatidylinositol among lysophospholipids in the culture medium of COS-7 cells transfected with a vector containing glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase 2 (GDPD2, GDE3). Thin-layer chromatography and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry of lipids extracted from GDE3-transfected COS-7 cells exposed to fluorescent analogs of phosphatidylinositol (PI) revealed that GDE3 acted as an ecto-type lysophospholipase C preferring endogenous lysophosphatidylinositol and PI having a long-chain acyl and a short-chain acyl group rather than endogenous PI and its fluorescent analog having two long chain acyl groups. In MC3T3-E1 cells cultured with an osteogenic or mitogenic medium, mRNA expression of GDE3 was increased by culturing in 10% fetal bovine serum for several days, concomitant with increased activity of ecto-lysophospholipase C, converting arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidylinositol, a physiological agonist of G protein-coupled receptor 55, to arachidonoylglycerol, a physiological agonist of cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2. We suggest that GDE3 acts as an ecto-lysophospholipase C, by switching signaling from lysophosphatidylinositol to that from arachidonoylglycerol in an opposite direction in mouse bone remodeling.

How is the acyl chain composition of phosphoinositides created and does it matter? Biochem Soc Trans 2020; 47:1291-1305.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide (PIPn) family of signalling phospholipids are central regulators in membrane cell biology. Their varied functions are based on the phosphorylation pattern of their inositol ring, which can be recognized by selective binding domains in their effector proteins and be modified by a series of specific PIPn kinases and phosphatases, which control their interconversion in a spatial and temporal manner. Yet, a unique feature of PIPns remains largely unexplored: their unusually uniform acyl chain composition. Indeed, while most phospholipids present a range of molecular species comprising acyl chains of diverse length and saturation, PIPns in several organisms and tissues show the predominance of a single hydrophobic backbone, which in mammals is composed of arachidonoyl and stearoyl chains. Despite evolution having favoured this specific PIPn configuration, little is known regarding the mechanisms and functions behind it. In this review, we explore the metabolic pathways that could control the acyl chain composition of PIPns as well as the potential roles of this selective enrichment. While our understanding of this phenomenon has been constrained largely by the technical limitations in the methods traditionally employed in the PIPn field, we believe that the latest developments in PIPn analysis should shed light onto this old question.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is a subspecies of lysophospholipid and is assumed to be not only a degradation product of phosphatidylinositol (PI), but also a bioactive lysophospholipid mediator. However, not much attention has been directed toward LPI compared to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), since the receptor for LPI has not been identified. During screening for an agonist for the orphan G protein coupled receptor GPR55, we identified LPI, 2-arachidonoyl LPI in particular, as an agonist for GPR55. Our efforts to identify an LPI receptor facilitated research on LPI as a lipid messenger. In addition, we also found that DDHD1, previously identified as phosphatidic acid-preferring phospholipase A1, was one of the synthesizing enzymes of 2-arachidonoyl LPI. Here, we summarized the background for discovering the LPI receptor, and the actions/metabolism of LPI. We also referred to the biosynthesis of PI, a 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl species, since the molecule is the precursor of 2-arachidonoyl LPI. Furthermore, we discussed physiological and/or pathophysiological processes involving LPI and GPR55, including the relevance of LPI-GPR55 and cannabinoids, since GPR55 was previously postulated to be another cannabinoid receptor. Although there is no doubt that GPR55 is the LPI receptor, we should re-consider whether or not GPR55 is in fact another cannabinoid receptor.

Abstract
We have shown previously that the phospholipase A (PLA) activity specific for phosphatidic acid (PA) in porcine platelet membranes is of the A(1) type (PA-PLA(1)) [J. Biol. Chem. 259 (1984) 5083]. In the present study, the PA-PLA(1) was solubilized in Triton X-100 from membranes pre-treated with 1 M NaCl, and purified 280-fold from platelet homogenates by sequential chromatography on blue-Toyopearl, red-Toyopearl, DEAE-Toyopearl, green-agarose, brown-agarose, polylysine-agarose, palmitoyl-CoA-agarose and blue-5PW columns. In the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100 in the assay mixture, the partially purified enzyme hydrolyzed the acyl group from the sn-1 position of PA independently of Ca(2+) and was highly specific for PA; phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS), and phosphatidylinositol (PI) were poor substrates. The enzyme exhibited lysophospholipase activity for l-acyl-lysoPA at 7% of the activity for PA hydrolysis but no lipase activity was observed for triacylglycerol (TG) and diacylglycerol (DG). At 0.025% Triton X-100, the enzyme exhibited the highest activity, and PA was the best substrate, but PE was also hydrolyzed substantially. The partially purified PA-PLA(1) in porcine platelet membranes was shown to be different from previously purified and cloned phospholipases and lipases by comparing the sensitivities to a reducing agent, a serine-esterase inhibitor, a PLA(2) inhibitor, a Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) inhibitor, and a DG lipase inhibitor.

Abstract
A membrane preparation from rat brain catalyzed the hydrolysis of [2-3H]glycerol-labeled lysophosphatidylinositol (lysoPI) to yield monoacylglycerol (MG) and inositolphosphates. This phospholipase C activity had an optimal pH of 8.2. The membrane preparation did not require the addition of Ca2+ for its maximum activity, but the activity was inhibited by addition of 0.1 mM EDTA to the assay mixture and was restored by simultaneous addition of 0.2 mM Ca2+. The activity was found to be localized in synaptic plasma membranes prepared by Ficoll and Percoll density gradients. The phospholipase C was highly specific for lysoPI; diacylglycerol formation from phosphatidylinositol, and MG formation from lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, and lysophosphatidylserine were below 5% of that observed with lysoPI under the conditions used. We concluded that there is a pathway for phosphatidylinositol metabolism in brain synaptic membranes which is different from the well-characterized phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C pathway.

Abstract
Incubation of [2-3H]glycerol-labeled phosphatidylinositol with a crude cytosol fraction of rat brain in the presence of EDTA yielded [3H]lysophosphatidylinositol predominantly without accumulation of labeled monoacylglycerol and diacylglycerol. The pH optimum of this phospholipase A activity was 8.0. The activity for phosphatidylinositol was twofold higher than for phosphatidylethanolamine, whereas phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidic acid were not hydrolyzed significantly under the conditions used. The phospholipase A activity for phosphatidylethanolamine was resolved in part from that for phosphatidylinositol by ammonium sulfate fractionation of the cytosol, indicating the existence of at least two forms of EDTA-insensitive phospholipase A. The positional specificity of the phosphatidylinositol-hydrolyzing activity was found to be that of a phospholipase A1, as radioactive lysophosphatidylinositol was produced from 1-stearoyl-2-[1-14C]arachidonyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoinositol without release of free arachidonate. A phospholipase C activity specific for lysophosphoinositides was found in a membrane fraction from rat brain, which was similar to that characterized in porcine platelets. The phospholipase C was demonstrated to hydrolyze the 2-acyl isomer as well as the 1-acyl isomer of lysophosphatidylinositol. Taken together, our results suggest a possible pathway through which phosphatidylinositol is selectively degraded to the 2-acyl isomer of lysophosphatidylinositol in a Ca(2+)-independent manner, and subsequently converted to a 2-monoacylglycerol in rat brain.

Abstract
Pathways for EDTA-insensitive degradation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) were investigated in porcine platelet membranes and cytosol. The incubation of platelet membranes with [3H]glycerol-labeled PI in the presence of 2mM EDTA produced [3H]lysoPI and aqueous radioactive products, but not radioactive neutral lipids. The degradation in the membranes was optimal at pH8.0-9.0, while EDTA-insensitive hydrolysis was also observed in cytosol with optimal pH at pH7.0-9.0. The major water-soluble product was identified as glycerophosphoinositol. Under the conditions, [14C]arachidonate was released from 1-stearoyl-2-[14C]arachidonyl PI without accumulation of [14C]lysoPI. The deacylation activity preferred PI to phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Collectively, these results suggest that PI can be converted to lysoPI by phospholipase A2 in the absence of free Ca2+, providing the substrates for lysoPI-specific phospholipase C characterized earlier in porcine platelet membranes (Murase and Okuyama (1985) J.Biol.Chem. 260, 262-265).

Abstract
This review summarizes present knowledge on porcine platelets in vitro and recent studies on in vivo activation of platelets in the pig. There are certain differences compared to human platelets: Platelet aggregation and secretion cannot be achieved by epinephrine, and the arachidonate pathway seems poorly developed in porcine platelets. Genetic models for von Willebrand disease (vWD) and storage pool deficiency (SPD) have been developed in the pig. Several models for the study of in vivo platelet deposition and early thrombus formation have been developed. Platelet radio-labeling techniques (with 111In) have been used extensively. We conclude that the pig seems to be a good choice for the investigation of in vivo platelet activation and deposition based on present knowledge of porcine platelets and on already established animal models.

Abstract
Mucins in human amniotic fluid are represented by two distinct molecular species, FM-1 and FM-2, with apparent molecular masses of 700 and 570 kDa, respectively, in SDS/polyacrylamide gradient gels. FM-1 and FM-2 were isolated by preparative SDS/PAGE to apparent homogeneity and subjected to structural studies on their carbohydrate portions. The carbohydrate compositions of the mucin species differed only marginally and exhibited significant amounts of mannose. O-linked core-region glycans on human amniotic mucin-derived pronase-stable glycopeptides were analyzed after reductive beta-elimination and purification on HPLC by a combination of methylation analysis, electron-impact mass spectrometry of permethylated oligosaccharide alditols and fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry of acetylated or methylated alditols (positive-ion mode) or alditol-derived neoglycolipids (negative-ion TLC-MS). The primary structures of major monosaccharides to tetrasaccharides have been established which exhibit at their reducing termini core 1, core 2 and core 3 sequences, as follows. [Table; see text]

Abstract
Procaryotic and eucaryotic cells have evolved multiple pathways for communication with their external environment. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate/diacylglycerol second messenger system is an example of such a signal transduction pathway which is present in multicellular eucaryotic organisms. Binding of an agonist to a specific cell surface receptor promotes rapid hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The pivotal enzyme for this second messenger system is phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C which hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to generate the two second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Recently, much progress has been made in the purification, characterization and cDNA cloning of multiple PI-PLC isoenzymes. The results of the recent studies on phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C are reviewed.

Abstract
The formation of lysophosphatidylinositol phosphate (lysoPIP) from lysophosphatidylinositol (lysoPI) via kinase activity was studied in microsomal preparations from human platelets. For this purpose, [3H]lysoPI or [3H]phosphatidylinositol ([3H]PI) was prepared and incubated in the presence or absence of ATP, MgCl2 and Triton X-100, and the appearances of radioactivity in [3H]lysoPIP and [3H]phosphatidylinositol phosphate ([3H]PIP), respectively, were monitored using thin layer chromatography. Both lysoPI and PI phosphorylations were completely dependent upon the presence of ATP and MgCl2 in the incubation medium; Triton X-100 addition stimulated both reactions, with the stimulation of PI conversion being considerably greater than that for lysoPI can be converted to lysoPIP by phosphorylation in human platelet microsomes. The potential significance of this enzymatic reaction in stimulated cells is discussed in relation to the generation of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate, an important intracellular second messenger.

Abstract
Membrane-form variant surface glycoprotein of Trypanosoma brucei can be prepared in the presence of para-chloromercuriphenylsulphonic acid. The membrane-bound enzyme that usually cleaves a lipid from this glycoprotein, thus producing the soluble variant surface glycoprotein, is inhibited by a range of sulphydryl reagents. The effect of such inhibitors, both on cell lysates and on semi-purified enzyme, reveals that the enzyme may have a sulphydryl at or near its active site. Fatty acid analysis and isoelectric point measurements of membrane form and soluble form are presented.
