Exchange of phosphatidylcholine between rabbit erythrocytes and plasma in vivo. 1981

N B Smith, and D Rubinstein

Phosphatidylcholine exchange between rabbit erythrocytes and plasma was studied in vivo. The erythrocyte phosphatidylcholine was labeled by exchange in vivo with [32P] phosphatidylcholine and in vitro by acylation with [3H] 16:0 and [14C] 18:2. The erythrocytes were then injected into rabbits and the loss of labeled phosphatidylcholine from the cells by exchange was followed. The rate constants for the exchange of [32P]-, [3H] 16:0-, and [14C] 18:2-phosphatidylcholine were .013 +/- .0010, .0093 +/- .0014 and .0074 +/- .0013 h-1, and the exchange rates of the labels relative to that of [32P] were 1.0, 0.71 +/- .16, and 0.56 +/- .14, respectively. These results confirm our earlier in vitro findings and represent the first in vivo demonstration of the dependency of the exchange rate of erythrocyte phosphatdylcholines on their metabolic prehistory.
