Transacylation of 1-O-alkyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso platelet-activating factor) and 1-O-alkenyl-SN-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine with docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 omega 3). 1985

T Sugiura, and Y Masuzawa, and K Waku

[14C]22:6 (docosahexaenoic acid) was rapidly incorporated into cellular lipids in rabbit alveolar macrophages. After removal of free [14C]22:6, the radioactivity in diacyl-glycerophosphocholine (GPC) gradually decreased with a concomitant increase in [14C]22:6 in alkylacyl-GPC and alkenylacyl-glycerophosphoethanolamine (GPE), indicating that [14C]22:6 was transferred from diacyl-GPC to these ether lipid fractions. In fact, macrophage microsomes were shown to catalyze the transfer of [14C]22:6 from exogenously added diacyl-GPC to 1-alkyl-GPC (lyso platelet-activating factor) and 1-alkenyl-GPE. These results are the first evidence for the involvement of the transacylation system in the metabolism of C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids and lyso platelet-activating factor.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.

D010972 Platelet Activating Factor A phospholipid derivative formed by PLATELETS; BASOPHILS; NEUTROPHILS; MONOCYTES; and MACROPHAGES.
