    Notizen: Abstract— The objective of the present experiments was to correlate changes in cellular energy metabolism, dissipative ion fluxes, and lipolysis during the first 90 s of ischemia and, hence, to establish whether phospholipase A2or phospholipase C is responsible for the early accumulation of phospholipid hydrolysis products. Ischemia was induced for 15–90 s in rats, extracellular K+ (K+e) was recorded, and neocortex was frozen in situ for measurements of labile tissue metabolites, free fatty acids, and diacylglycerides. Ischemia of 15-and 30-s duration gave rise to a decrease in phosphocreatine concentration and a decline in the ATP/free ADP ratio. Although these changes were accompanied by an activation of K+ conductances, there were no changes in free fatty acids until after 60s, when free arachidonic acid accumulated. An increase in other free fatty acids and in total diacylglyceride content did not occur until after anoxic depolarization. The results demonstrate that the early functional changes, such as activation of K+ conductances, are unrelated to changes in lipids or lipid mediators. They furthermore suggest that the initial lipolysis occurs via both phospholipase A2 and phospholipase C, which are activated when membrane depolarization leads to influx of calcium into cells.

    Notizen: Abstract: The effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) treatment (100 mg/kg/day, per os, for 14 days) on electroconvulsive shock (ECS)-induced accumulation of free fatty acids (FFA) and diacylglycerols (DAG) was analyzed in rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus. EGb 761 reduced the FFA pool size by 33% and increased the DAG pool by 36% in the hippocampus. These endogenous lipids were unaffected in cerebral cortex. During the tonic seizure (10 s after ECS) the fast accumulation of FFA, mainly 20:4, was similar in sham- and EGb 761 -treated rats, in both the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. However, further accumulation of free 18:0 and 20:4, observed in the hippocampus of sham-treated rats during clonic seizures (30 s to 2 min after ECS), did not occur in EGb 761-treated animals. The rise in DAG content triggered in the cortex and hippocampus by ECS was delayed by EGb 761 treatment from 10 s to 1 min, when values similar to those in sham animals were attained. Moreover, in the hippocampus the size of the total DAG pool was decreased by 19% during the tonic seizure. At later times, DAG content showed a faster decrease in EGb 761-treated rats. By 2 min levels of all DAG acyl groups decreased to values significantly lower than in sham animals in both cortex and hippocampus. This study shows that EGb 761 treatment affects, with high selectivity, lipid metabolism and lipid-derived second messenger release and removal in the hippocampus, while affecting to a lesser extent the cerebral cortex.

    Notizen: Abstract: Intracerebral administration of [3H]arachidonic acid ([3H]ArA) into 19–20-day-old rat embryos, resulted in a rapid incorporation of label into brain lipids. One hour after injection, 55.6 pmn 8.2, 18.0 pmn 3.4, and 13.7 pmn 1.3% of the total radioactivity was associated with phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylethanolamine, respectively. Approximately 10% of radioactivity was found acylated in neutral lipids of which free ArA comprised only 1.5 pmn 0.2% of the total radioactivity. Complete restriction of the maternal—fetal circulation for ltm40 min did not affect the rate of [3H]ArA incorporation (t1/2= 2 min) into fetal brain lipids, suggesting an effective acylation mechanism that proceeds irrespective of the impaired blood flow. After a short restriction period (5 min), the radioactivity in diacylglycerol was elevated by 50%. After a longer restriction period (20 min), the radioactivity in the free fatty acid and diacylglycerol fractions increased to values of 130 and 87%, respectively. Polyphosphoinositides prelabeled with either [3H]ArA or 32P were rapidly degraded after 5 min of ischemia. After 20 min, the decrease in phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate radioactivity was 47 and 70%, respectively. Double labeling of phospholipids with [14C]palmitic acid and [3H]ArA indicated a preferential loss of [3H]ArA within the polyphosphoinositide species after 20 min, but not after 5 min of ischemia. The specific activity of [14C]palmitate remained unchanged. The current data suggest phospholipase C—mediated diacyiglycerol formation at the beginning of the insult followed by a phospholipase A2-mediated ArA liberation at a later time, both enzymes presumably acting preferentially on polyphosphoinositide species.

    Notizen: Abstract: Rat cerebrum, prelabeled in vivo by intraventric-ular injection of [1-14C]arachidonic acid, was used to assess cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase reaction products in total homogenates, cytosol, synaptosomes, and microsomes. Effects of bicuculline-induced status epilepticus on arachi-donic acid metabolism in synaptosomes and microsomes were also measured. Lipoxygenase activity, resulting in the synthesis of hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), and cyclooxygenase activity, resulting in the synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs), were measured by reverse-phase and normal-phase HPLC with flow scintillation detection. Endogenous lipoxygenase products in synaptosomes were identified by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. PGs and HETEs were detected in all subcellular fractions. The synaptosomal fraction showed the highest lipoxygenase activity, with 5-HETE, 12-HETE, and leukotriene B4 as the major products. Following bicuculline-induced status epilepticus, endogenous free arachidonic acid and other fatty acids accumulated in synaptosomes, but not in microsomes. Incorporation of [1-l4C]arachidonic acid into synaptosomal and microsomal phospholipids was decreased after bicuculline treatment. Bicuculline-induced status epilepticus resulted in increased synthesis of HETEs in synaptosomes. PG synthesis increased in the microsomal fraction. When [1-14C]arachidonic acid-labeled synaptosomes and microsomes were incubated for 1 h at 37°C the synthesis of eicosa-noids, particularly PGD2, was increased significantly in bi-cuculline-treated rats, as compared with untreated rats. Depolarization (45 mM K+) of synaptosomes induced a loss of [1-14C]arachidonic acid from phosphatidylinositol, and increased the synthesis of PGD2 and HETEs, an effect that was enhanced in bicuculline-treated rats. This study localizes changes in arachidonic acid metabolism and lipoxygenase activity resulting from bicuculline-induced status epilepticus in the brain subcellular fraction enriched in nerve endings.

    Notizen: The developing mouse was used to assess biochemical changes in membrane lipids during the period when nerve growth cones become synapses. Growth cone particles and synaptosomes were simultaneously obtained from common brain homogenates. Incorporation of the essential fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (22:6ω-3), was correlated with the developmental changes in endogenous fatty acid content of growth cones and synaptosomes. Analysis of endogenous lipid content indicated that, at all ages studied, the growth cones contained more arachidonoyl acyl chains (20:4ω-6) than did synaptosomes. Before the onset of synaptogenesis, levels of arachidonoyl chains increased and levels of 22:6, oleoyl and linoleoyl chains decreased in synaptosomes. Although stearoyl and palmitoyl (16:0) remained stable in synaptosomes, 16:0 decreased in growth cones. With the exception of 16:0 and 20:4, endogenous fatty acyl content of growth cones and synaptosomes became similar by postnatal day 10, which coincides with the onset of synaptogenesis. When 5-day-old mouse pups were injected intraperitoneally with [3H]22:6, the incorporation into growth cone and synaptosome phospholipids was greatest in phosphatidylethanolamine, followed by phosphatidylser-ine and phosphatidylcholine. Nominal labeling was present in phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol. Labeling in neutral lipids was less than that of phospholipids, with tria-cylglycerol incorporating most of the neutral lipid label, followed by diacylglycerol and free 22:6. Only the growth cone fraction contained detectable amounts of 22:6-labeled cholesterol esters. The distribution of 22:6 label in plasma 72 h after injection indicated that ∼60% of the label was in phospholipids with ∼40% in neutral lipids and 〈5% in free fatty acids. Collectively, the data indicate that changes in fatty acid composition occur during the conversion of growth cones to synapses.

    Notizen: Abstract: We have investigated the effects of the specific platelet-activating factor (PAF; 1 -alkyl-2–acetyl-glycero-phosphocholine) antagonist BN52021 on free fatty acid (FFA) and diacylglycerol (DG) accumulation and on the loss of fatty acids from phosphatidylinositol-4,5–bisphosphate (PIP2) in mouse brain. Mice were pretreated with BN52021 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) 30 min before electroconvulsive shock (ECS) or postdecapitation ischemia. These procedures cause rapid breakdown of PIP2 and accumulation of FFA and DG. Lipid extracts were prepared from microwave-fixed cerebrum and fractionated by TLC, and the fatty acid methyl esters were prepared by methanolysis and quantified by capillary GLC. In saline or vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide)-treated mice, ECS caused marked accumulation of FFA and DG and loss of mainly stearic (18:0) and arachidonic (20:4) acids from PIP2. BN52021 pretreatment of ECS-treated mice decreased the accumulation of free palmitic (16:0), 18:0, 20:4, and docosahexaenoic (22:6) acids with no effect on the fatty acids in DG or the loss of PIP2. BN52021 had no effect on basal levels of FFA, DG, or PIP2. One minute of postdecapitation ischemia induced PIP2 loss and accumulation of FFA and DG. BN52021 attenuated the accumulation of free 20:4 and 22: 6 acids, decreased the content of oleic (18:1), 20:4, and 22:6 acids in DG, but had no effect on PIP2 loss. These data indicate that BN52021 reduces the injury-induced activation of phospholipase A2 and lysophospholipase, which mediate the accumulation of FFA in brain, while having a negligible effect on phospholipase C-mediated degradation of PIP2.

    Notizen: Abstract: The pool size and synthesis of phosphatidic acid derived from [2-3H]glycerol were studied in bovine whole retinas and subcellular fractions. Microsomal preparations from retinas incubated with [2-3H]glycerol displayed the highest percentage labeling of phosphatidic acid at 5 min of incubation; labeling decreased rapidly thereafter. In drug-treated retinas,0.5 mM propranolol increased the endogenous content of phosphatidic acid and stimulated [2-3H]glycerol labeling in whole retina and microsomal and postmicrosomal supernatant fractions. This effect was observed during short-term incubations and was reversible. In pulse-chase experiments, 60 min of reincubation greatly reduced the labeling effect, although propranolol still enhanced phosphatidic acid labeling. At the same time, endogenous phosphatidic acid accumulated and reincubation without propranolol reversed the effect. During accumulation, the amount of palmitate increased and that of oleate decreased, whereas the relatively high level of docosahexaenoate in phosphatidic acid remained unchanged. It was concluded that this propranolol-induced effect is due to cationic amphiphilic drug activity in the endoplasmic reticulum that results in a partial inhibition of phosphatidic acid degradation and a stimulation of its de novo synthesis. Hence, net synthesis of phosphatidic acid can be assessed in the retina during short-term incubation with propranolol.

    Notizen: Intermittent hypoxia (IH) during sleep, a hallmark of sleep apnea, is associated with neurobehavioral impairments, regional neurodegeneration and increased oxidative stress and inflammation in rodents. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is an important mediator of both normal neural plasticity and brain injury. We report that mice deficient in the cell surface receptor for PAF (PAFR–/–), a bioactive mediator of oxidative stress and inflammation, are protected from the spatial reference learning deficits associated with IH. Furthermore, PAFR–/– exhibit attenuated elevations in inflammatory signaling (cyclo-oxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase activities), degradation of the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway and apoptosis observed in wild-type littermates (PAFR+/+) exposed to IH. Collectively, these findings indicate that inflammatory signaling and neurobehavioral impairments induced by IH are mediated through PAF receptors.

    Notizen: Abstract: Within the first few hours of life in the mouse, marked changes were seen in brain endogenous free fatty acids (FFA). A 21% decrease in the total FFA pool occurred during the 1st h of life, and a constant value was maintained thereafter to 10 h. Polyunsaturated fatty acids displayed a different pattern of change. There was 27% less free ararhidonic acid at birth (0 h) than 1 h later. Similar values were obtained for docosahexaenoic acid at birth and at 10 h, although palmitoleic and oleic acids decreased markedly after 1 h. The polyunsaturated fatty acyl chains of diglycerides (DG) showed a statistically significant increase as a function of time after birth, despite an unchanged total DG pool size. The brains of pups subjected to 40 min of N2-anoxia immediately after delivery exhibited a decrease in FFA, especially the monoenoic components, but 60 min of anoxia yielded higher FFA levels. Anoxia induced at 10 h increased FFA and arachidonic acid was higher than when anoxia was induced at 0 h. FFA accumulation was further stimulated by raising the environmental temperature during anoxia. When anoxia was induced, DG exhibited a net increase in palmitate, oleate, and palmitoleate at 0 and 10 h. No arachidonoyl-DG accumulated at 0 h, even after 60 min of anoxia, and stearate was unchanged at 0 and 10 h. The lipid changes observed in the brain during the first hours of life suggest that the enzymatic reactions that promote accumulation of free arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids and arachidonoyl-DG in the mature brain are present at low levels at the time of delivery. The sluggish modifications found in our study may be related to the longer resistance of newborns to oxygen deficiency.

    Notizen: Abstract: The pool size and composition of free fatty acids (FFA) and diglycerides (DG) from the cerebrum and cerebellum of rats undergoing bicuculline-induced seizures were studied. A fourfold increase in cerebral FFA occurred 3–4 min after bicuculline injection; arachidonic and stearic acids were the principal fatty acids accumulated. Cerebellar FFA also increased, but to a lesser extent. An increased production of arachidonic acid took place in the cerebrum as a function of time after bicuculline injection. Other fatty acids produced were oleic, palmitic, and docosahexaenoic acids. A twofold increase in cerebral arachidonic acid was seen at the time of the first generalized tonic-clonic convulsion. However, a 13- to 17-fold increase in arachidonic acid was seen approximately 5–6 min after bicuculline injection. The rise in other FFA was much smaller. Stearoyl- and arachidonoyl-DG were also accumulated. The drug α-methyl-p-tyrosine was found to (a) potentiate the bicuculline-stimulated release of cerebellar FFA, and (b) inhibit by 70% the production of stearoyl- and arachidonoyl-DG in the cerebrum and cerebellum. Basal production of FFA was stimulated by p-chlorophenylalanine, but the drug had no effect on the bicuculline-induced changes. Hydrolysis of phospholipids enriched in stearoyl-arachidonoyl groups, such as phosphatidylinositol of excitable membranes, may be stimulated during seizures.
