The focus of the present study was to define human plasma lipidome and establish novel analytical methodologies quantify large spectrum lipids. Partial lipid analysis is now a regular part every patient's blood test physicians readily regularly prescribe drugs that alter levels major lipids such as cholesterol triglycerides. Plasma contains many thousands distinct molecular species fall into six main categories including fatty acyls, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids,...
The LIPID MAPS Structure Database (LMSD) is a relational database encompassing structures and annotations of biologically relevant lipids. Structures lipids in the come from four sources: (i) Consortium's core laboratories partners; (ii) identified by experiments; (iii) computationally generated for appropriate lipid classes; (iv) manually curated BANK, LIPIDAT other public sources. All LMSD are drawn consistent fashion. In addition to classification-based retrieval lipids, users can search...
A comprehensive and standardized system to report lipid structures analyzed by MS is essential for the communication storage of lipidomics data. Herein, an update on both LIPID MAPS classification shorthand notation presented categories Fatty Acyls (FA), Glycerolipids (GL), Glycerophospholipids (GP), Sphingolipids (SP), Sterols (ST). With its major changes, i.e., annotation ring double bond equivalents number oxygens, updated facilitates reporting newly delineated oxygenated species as well....
We recently cloned monoclonal IgM autoantibodies which bind to epitopes of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) from apoE-deficient mice (EO– autoantibodies). now demonstrate that those EO– were originally selected for binding copper-oxidized lipoproteins (CuOx-LDL), also bound both the protein and lipid moieties CuOx-LDL. The same showed specific products 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-phosphatidylcholine (OxPAPC) phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-phosphatidyl-choline (POVPC),...
The lipocortins are a group of proteins that have been reported to inhibit phospholipase A2 by direct interaction with enzyme. Two which identified as lipocortin on the basis inhibition activity recently cloned and sequenced. These shown be identical calpactins, membrane cytoskeletal serving major substrates tyrosine protein kinases. We now found two forms calpactin (I II) porcine pancreatic in an assay using Escherichia coli cells or extracted phospholipid vesicles substrate, but only when...
Apoptosis is recognized as important for normal cellular homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Although there have been great advances our knowledge of the molecular events regulating apoptosis, much less known about receptors on phagocytes responsible apoptotic cell recognition and phagocytosis or ligands cells mediating such recognition. The observations that are under increased oxidative stress oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) competes with macrophage binding suggested...

A novel Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (PLA2) has recently been purified from the murine macrophage-like cell line P388D1 (Ackermann, E. J., Kempner, S., and Dennis, A.(1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 9227-9233). This enzyme is now shown to be inhibited by palmitoyl trifluoromethyl ketone (PACOCF3), arachidonyl (AACOCF3), a bromoenol lactone (BEL). Both PACOCF3 AACOCF3 were found inhibit macrophage PLA2 in concentration-dependent manner. was ~4-fold more potent than AACOCF3, with IC50 values of...
