Abstract
Pseudomonas is an efficient plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR); however, intolerance to drought and high temperature limit its application in agriculture as a bioinoculant. Transposon 5 (Tn5) mutagenesis was used to generate a stress tolerant mutant from a PGPR Pseudomonas putida NBRI1108 isolated from chickpea rhizosphere. A mutant NBRI1108T, selected after screening of nearly 10,000 transconjugants, exhibited significant tolerance towards high temperature and drought. Southern hybridization analysis of EcoRI and XhoI restricted genomic DNA of NBRI1108T confirmed that it had a single Tn5 insertion. The metabolic changes in the polar and non-polar extracts of NBRI1108 and NBRI1108T were examined using 1H, 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirty six chemically diverse metabolites consisting of amino acids, fatty acids and phospholipids were identified and quantified. Insertion of Tn5 influenced amino acid and phospholipid metabolism and resulted in significantly higher concentration of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycinebetaine, glycerophosphatidylcholine (GPC) and putrescine in NBRI1108T as compared to that in NBRI1108. The concentration of glutamic acid, glycinebetaine and GPC increased by 34%, 95% and 100%, respectively in the NBRI1108T as compared to that in NBRI1108. High concentration of glycerophosphatidylethanolamine (GPE) and undetected GPC in NBRI1108 indicates that biosynthesis of GPE may have taken place via the methylation pathway of phospholipid biosynthesis. However, high GPC and low GPE concentration in NBRI1108T suggest that methylation pathway and phosphatidylcholine synthase (PCS) pathway of phospholipid biosynthesis are being followed in the NBRI1108T. Application of multivariate principal component analysis (PCA) on the quantified metabolites revealed clear variations in NBRI1108 and NBRI1108T in polar and non-polar metabolites. Identification of abiotic stress tolerant metabolites from the NBRI1108T suggest that Tn5 mutagenesis enhanced tolerance towards high temperature and drought. Tolerance to drought was further confirmed in greenhouse experiments with maize as host plant, where NBRI1108T showed relatively high biomass under drought conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of salmonella infection and its chemotherapy on lipid metabolism in tissues of rats infected orally with Salmonella typhimurium and treated intraperitoneally with pefloxacin and amoxillin. METHODS Animals were infected with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain TA 98. After salmonellosis was confirmed, they were divided into 7 groups of 5 animals each. While one group served as infected control group, three groups were treated with amoxillin (7.14 mg/kg body weight, 8 hourly) and the remaining three groups with pefloxacin (5.71 mg/kg body weight, 12 hourly) for 5 and 10 days respectively. Uninfected control animals received 0.1 ml of vehicle. Rats were sacrificed 24h after 5 and 10 days of antibiotic treatment and 5 days after discontinuation of antibiotic treatment. Their corresponding controls were also sacrificed at the same time point. Blood and tissue lipids were then evaluated. RESULTS Salmonella infection resulted in dyslipidemia characterised by increased concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA) in plasma and erythrocyte, as well as enhanced cholesterogenesis, hypertriglyceridemia and phospholipidosis in plasma, low density lipoprotein-very low density lipoprotein (LDL-VLDL), erythrocytes, erythrocyte ghost and the organs. The antibiotics reversed the dyslipidemia but not totally. A significant correlation was observed between fecal bacterial load and plasma cholesterol (r=0.456, p<0.01), plasma triacyglycerols (r=0.485, p<0.01), plasma phospholipid (r=0.414, p<0.05), plasma free fatty acids (r=0.485, p<0.01), liver phospholipid (r=0.459, p<0.01) and brain phospholipid (r=0.343, p<0.05). CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that salmonella infection in rats and its therapy with pefloxacin and amoxillin perturb lipid metabolism and this perturbation is characterised by cholesterogenesis.

Abstract
Plasmalogens (1-O-alk-1'-enyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines and -phosphoethanolamines) are important constituents of spermatozoa membranes and possess significant antioxidative properties. This particularly holds as plasmalogens from spermatozoa also possess a very high content of highly unsaturated fatty acyl residues (especially 22:6). The organic spermatozoa extracts of two different ruminants (cattle and roe deer) were analyzed for their contents of characteristic choline plasmalogen oxidation products by matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. It will be shown that 1-hydroxy-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (LPC 22:6) and formyl-LPC 22:6 are reliable measures of lipid oxidation of spermatozoa and allow, accordingly, conclusions about the storage conditions. All data on spermatozoa were also confirmed by the investigation of the oxidation behavior of selected reference compounds. It will be shown that, equally if plasmalogens or diacyl PC species are used, oxidation takes place primarily at the double bond next to the glycerol backbone. These data were additionally confirmed by recording the corresponding post source decay (PSD) fragment ion spectra.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lipid second messengers, e.g. lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC) are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, for instance, rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Unfortunately, the analysis of LPC in complex mixtures as present in body fluids is still challenging. DESIGN AND METHODS Matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was applied for phospholipid (PL) analysis of organic extracts of synovial fluids from patients with RA as well as the corresponding plasma. These data were compared with results obtained by high resolution 31P NMR spectroscopy. RESULTS Synovial fluids may be replaced by plasma since the analysis of both body fluids gives very similar results. Patients undergoing treatment with TNF-alpha inhibitors (ADALIMUMAB (HUMIRA)) were examined in order to investigate whether the clinically-significant attenuation of disease activity is accompanied by changes of the PL composition of plasma. It will be shown that especially the PC/LPC ratios of plasma represent a reliable measure of inflammation and increase upon therapy. CONCLUSIONS Since plasma samples are readily available, our approach might be useful to draw conclusions before puncture of the affected joints is necessary and the PC/LPC ratio detected in plasma may serve as an indicator of RA in early stages.

Abstract
We have found that the profiles of total phospholipids in malignant breast cancer cell lines change going from hormone sensitive to highly hormone resistant cells lines. In particular, two phospholipid components that were absent or at very low levels in hormone sensitive MCF7 cells and moderately hormone sensitive cell lines (MIII, LCC2) were found in relatively high proportions in highly hormone resistant cell lines (MB435, MB231). These two components were shown to be the alkylacylphosphatidylcholine (AAPtdC) and the unsaturated analog plasmenylphosphatidylethanolamine (plasmenyl-PtdE). Another component phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdE) increased in correlation with the degree of hormone insensitivity. This was shown using 31P NMR spectroscopy of lipid extracts of the cells, and was confirmed using HPLC analysis, as well as other techniques. The significance of these results for the metabolic characteristics of these cell lines is related to the therapeutic responsiveness of breast cancer.

Abstract
Alterations in the phospholipid (PL) composition of spermatozoal membranes occur during the fertilization process. Furthermore, membrane lipid composition is of high interest with respect to cryopreservation. The PL and fatty acid compositions of human and boar spermatozoa are compared by using matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in combination with thin-layer chromatography and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The extreme sensitivity of alkenyl-linked PL against acid treatment was used to estimate the plasmalogen content of spermatozoa. Compared with humans, boar spermatozoa are characterized by a lower variability of their PL and fatty acid composition. Additionally, boar spermatozoa contain much higher moieties of alkyl-linked compounds, e.g. 1-palmityl-2-docosapentaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and 1-palmityl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine as well as the corresponding phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), while human spermatozoa are characterized by high contents of diacyl-PL, e.g. 1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and 1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine. A considerable plasmalogen moiety, for instance 1-palmitenyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a typical feature of both, human and boar spermatozoa. It will be shown that these differences in PL composition can be very rapidly and conveniently assessed by MALDI-TOF MS in combination with TLC and also by 31P NMR.

Abstract
In this study we demonstrated the combination of MALDI-TOF MS and TLC as a fast and powerful tool to investigate the phospholipid (PL) composition of organic extracts of bull spermatozoa. Since phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the dominant PL species, an adequate resolution of MALDI-TOF spectra for sphingomyelin (SM) or phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) was achieved only after previous PL separation by TLC. We found a poor diversity especially for PE and PC, mainly containing ether-linked fatty acids which were 1-palmityl-2-docosahexaenoyl-PL and the corresponding alkenyl-acyl compound (plasmalogen) 1-palmitenyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-PL. For PC, both lipids were quantified after phospholipase A2 digestion to represent 44.2 and 37.2%, respectively, of the total PC. In contrast, the diacyl-PC content of bull spermatozoa was comparatively low (18.6% of total PC). In the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), which is routinely added to the MALDI-TOF matrix to improve the signal to noise ratio, a high lysophospholipid (LPL) content was detected in the PL extracts of bull spermatozoa, whereas TLC did not reveal significant amounts of LPL. The TFA mediated hydrolysis of the acid-labile alkenyl-acyl PL to the corresponding LPL was shown to cause this discrepancy. This assumption was verified by analysing the PL composition by MALDI-TOF MS before and after (i) digestion of sperm cell lipids with phospholipase A2 and (ii) exposition of spermatozoa to HCl fumes. We conclude that the analysis of samples containing alkenyl-acyl-PL by MALDI-TOF has to be performed with great caution.

Abstract
High-resolution proton NMR spectra of intact tumour cells generally exhibit intense signals due to isotropically mobile lipids (MLs) of still uncertain nature and origin. NMR studies performed on intact wild-type and caveolin-1-infected haematopoietic K562 cells showed that, under our experimental conditions, part of the ML signals are due to lipid complexes resistant to extraction in Triton X-100 at 4 degrees C. This evidence suggests that a portion of NMR-visible lipid structures are compatible with Triton-resistant membrane rafts and therefore biophysically distinct from NMR-visible Triton-soluble lipid bodies. Similarly to lipid rafts and caveolae, the organization of the Triton-insoluble ML domains could be compromised by treatment with beta-octylglucoside or methyl-beta-cyclodextrin. Exposure to exogenous sphingomyelinase caused an increase in ML NMR visibility, indicating the possible involvement of ceramides in ML formation. The mobility of these lipids was found to be temperature sensitive, suggesting a transition in cells going from 4 degrees C to 25-37 degrees C. These new results are here discussed in the light of possible contributions of plasma membrane microdomains to NMR-visible ML signals.

Abstract
The formation of lysophosphatidylcholines from unsaturated phosphatidylcholines upon treatment with hypochlorous acid was evaluated by means of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and 31P NMR spectroscopy. With an increasing number of double bonds in a fatty acid residue, the yield of lysophosphatidylcholines with a saturated fatty acid residue increased considerably in comparison to the total amount of higher molecular weight products like chlorohydrins and glycols. High amounts of lysophosphatidylcholines were formed from phospholipids containing arachidonic or docosahexaenoic acid residues. In phospholipids with monounsaturated fatty acid residues, the position of the double bond did not influence the yield of lyso-products. Besides the exclusive formation of chlorohydrin and glycol, hypochlorous acid caused the cleavage of the unsaturated fatty acid residue independent of its location at the first or second position of the glycerol backbone. In contrast, strong alkaline conditions, i.e. saponification led also to a hydrolysis of the saturated fatty acid residue from phosphatidylcholines. It is concluded that both MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and 31P NMR spectroscopy are able to detect the formation of lysophosphatidylcholines. We conclude also that the formation of lysophospholipids from unsaturated phosphatidylcholines by hypochlorous acid can be relevant in vivo under acute inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
The structure/function of peroxisomal lipids in rat liver treated with a sublethal dose of endotoxin, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS), was investigated. Peroxisomes isolated from LPS-treated rat liver had remarkable alterations in lipid content compared with saline treated control liver peroxisomes. Cholesterol and phospholipids (PL) decreased significantly by 28.7% and 50.8%, respectively, leading to the change in the ratio of cholesterol/phospholipids (control 0.081 versus LPS 0.118, P < 0.001). A quantitative analysis from LPS-treated rat liver peroxisomes showed a general decrease in all classes of PL. No such alterations were observed in lipid content of other subcellular organelles. The peroxisomal fatty acid composition in LPS-treated animals was also altered. An analysis of fatty acid composition in PL and phosphatidylcholine from LPS-treated peroxisomes showed an increase in arachidonic acid (C20:4) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6). Very long chain (VLC) fatty acids (> C22:0) were also found increased in all classes of lipids in LPS-treated peroxisomes. Gadolinium chloride (GAD) mediated inactivation of Kupffer cells (KC) normalized cholesterol/PL ratio in LPS-treated peroxisomes. Collectively, the results indicate that the peroxisome metabolism of lipids and fatty acids is specifically altered in endotoxin-treated rat liver and at least part of the alterations may be mediated by factors released by KC.

Abstract
The cosecretion of pancreatic lipase and colipase are important in normal fat digestion. As adsorption of phosphatidylcholine to the lipid substrate interferes with lipase activity, hydrolysis to lysophosphatidylcholine with subsequent desorption is also essential for fat digestion. There are some data regarding the secretion of pancreatic phospholipases in normal adults but none in children or patients with pancreatic disease. In the present study, we aimed a) to develop an accurate fast assay method to measure phospholipase A(2) and b) to determine the secretion rate of pancreatic phospholipase A(2) and whether it is cosecreted with lipase and colipase in children with exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. Nine male patients aged 0.5 to 16 y (seven with cystic fibrosis, two with malabsorption) underwent pancreatic stimulation tests. Their colipase and lipase secretion rates were measured by titrimetric methods and phospholipase A(2) and A(1) by phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P NMR). It was found that the phospholipases, colipase, and lipase were absent in the two patients with pancreatic insufficiency. In patients with normal absorption, there were marked inter-and intrasubject variations of lipase, colipase, and phospholipase secretion rates that were consistent with the degree of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. However, in the three 20-min stimulation periods of the pancreatic function test, pancreatic phospholipase is cosecreted with lipase and colipase, and average colipase and phospholipase A(2) secretion rates follow a similar or parallel pattern. These findings are consistent with the important role of pancreatic phospholipases in intestinal phospholipid hydrolysis leading to the desorption of phospholipids from the lipid substrate and enhancing lipid hydrolysis and phospholipid absorption.

Abstract
Human neutrophils incubated for 1 h in vitro with 10% commercial pooled, human serum containing high levels of free fatty acids (1141 microM) displayed a distinct lipid signal, typical of triacylglycerol, in the 1H NMR spectrum. Concurrently their plasma membrane triacylglycerol mass increased 4.6-fold with a selective rise in the content of palmitic and linoleic acids. Although qualitatively similar, these effects were much greater than those observed after incubating neutrophils with 50 microg.mL-1 of lipopolysaccharide in the presence of 10% AB serum with normal free fatty acid content (345 microM, LPS/S). Incubation of neutrophils with an artificial mixture of free fatty acids at concentrations found in commercial serum, or with the fatty acid fraction isolated from commercial serum increased the 1H NMR-detectable triacylglycerol. The signal intensity of the 1H NMR-detectable triacylglycerol depended on the triacylglycerol composition, and correlated with increased membrane triacylglycerol mass. Cellular uptake of 3H-labelled palmitic or oleic acids increased in the presence of commercial serum but not with LPS/S, with little contribution in either case to the triacylglycerol pool that increased in mass. Pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that with LPS/S and commercial serum, radiolabelled palmitic acid was preferentially incorporated into triacylglycerol located in the plasma membrane. This process could occur at the plasma membrane, as cytoplasts efficiently convert exogenous fatty acids into triacylglycerol. We propose that LPS/S and serum containing high levels of free fatty acid, important in conditions of sepsis and inflammation, may facilitate the sequestration of palmitic acid into triacylglycerol by different pathways. This triacylglycerol originates from exogenous and endogenous free fatty acids, is 1H NMR-visible, and may have a role in regulating apoptosis.

Abstract
The phospholipid secretion rates and phospholipase A1 and phospholipase A2 activities in biliary-pancreatic secretions of patients with pancreatic sufficiency and insufficiency were measured using 31P-NMR spectroscopy. It was possible to quantify conveniently the individual phospholipids without prior extraction of lipids or treatment of the samples with detergent. The reciprocal nature of the decrease in phosphatidylcholine concentration, compared with the increase in the concentration of 1-lysophosphatidylcholine and 2-lysophosphatidylcholine, suggested a substrate/product relationship consistent with the activities of phospholipase A1 and phospholipase A2, respectively. Although the secretion rates of total biliary phospholipids among the patients with pancreatic sufficiency were similar, the phospholipase A1 and phospholipase A2 activities varied considerably. The latter differences were similar to their pancreatic lipase and colipase secretion levels and hence their degree of pancreatic dysfunction. The biliary-pancreatic secretions from patients with pancreatic insufficiency showed no enzyme activities. Total biliary phospholipid secretions in patients with pancreatic insufficiency with common bile duct stenosis were significantly lower than those in patients with pancreatic sufficiency, and pancreatic insufficiency without common bile duct stenosis.
