Ceramides (Cers) with α-hydroxylated acyl chains comprise about a third of all extractable skin Cers and are required for permeability barrier homeostasis. We have probed here the effects of Cer hydroxylation on their behavior in lipid models comprising the major SC lipids, Cer/free fatty acids (C 16-C 24)/cholesterol, and a minor component, cholesteryl sulfate. Namely, Cers with (R)-α-hydroxy lignoceroyl chains attached to sphingosine (Cer AS), dihydrosphingosine (Cer AdS), and phytosphingosine (Cer AP) were compared to their unnatural (S)-diastereomers and to Cers with non-hydroxylated lignoceroyl chains attached to sphingosine (Cer NS), dihydrosphingosine (Cer NdS), and phytosphingosine (Cer NP). By comparing several biophysical parameters (lamellar organization by X-ray diffraction, chain order, lateral packing, phase transitions, and lipid mixing by infrared spectroscopy using deuterated lipids) and the permeabilities of these models (water loss and two permeability markers), we conclude that there is no general or common consequence of Cer α-hydroxylation. Instead, we found a rich mix of effects, highly dependent on the sphingoid base chain, configuration at the α-carbon, and permeability marker used. We found that the model membranes with unnatural Cer (S)-AS have fewer orthorhombically packed lipid chains than those based on the (R)-diastereomer. In addition, physiological (R)-configuration decreases the permeability of membranes, with Cer (R)-AdS to theophylline, and increases the lipid chain order in model systems with natural Cer (R)-AP. Thus, each Cer subclass makes a distinct contribution to the structural organization and function of the skin lipid barrier. 相似文献

In this study, lipid structural change is monitored using Raman spectroscopy during heat treatment, along with the impact of lipid states on the structural and physical properties during the preparation process of the dried and hydrated lipid mixture (LM) similar to intercellular lipid in stratum corneum. The microstructures and thermal behavior of these LMs change depending on the melting of lipid ingredients in the preparation process. It is recognized that variable temperature Raman spectroscopy (VT‐Raman) is a useful and attractive tool for the sensitive in situ monitoring of lipid state changes and lipid melting. The LMs can incorporate D2O into their structures regardless of preparation temperature due to increasing lattice distance by hydration. These results suggest that monitoring lipid structural changes during the heating step is important to precisely prepare target LMs. Practical Applications: This study reveals that VT‐Raman is a useful and attractive tool in in situ monitoring of lipid state change and lipid melting. The monitoring of the preparation process by VT‐Raman is necessary to precisely prepare the target LM similar to intercellular lipid of stratum corneum because the microstructures and thermal properties of these LMs change depending on the melting of lipid ingredients during the preparation process. 相似文献

Sphaeroforma arctica is a unique, recently discovered marine protist belonging to a group falling close to the yeast/animal border. S. arctica is found in cold environments, and accordingly has a fatty acid composition containing a high proportion of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including the ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). Two elongases and five desaturases, representing the complete set of enzymes necessary for the synthesis of DHA from oleic acid, were isolated from this species and characterized in yeast. One elongase showed high conversion rates on a wide range of 18 and 20 carbon substrates, and was capable of sequential elongation reactions. The second elongase had a strong preference for the 20-carbon fatty acids EPA and arachidonic acid, with over 80 % of EPA converted to docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) in the heterologous yeast host. The isolation of a Δ8-desaturase, along with the detection of eicosadienoic acid in S. arctica cultures indicated that this species uses the alternate Δ8-pathway for the synthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. S. arctica also carried a Δ4-desaturase that proved to be very active in the production of DHA from DPA. Finally, a long chain acyl-CoA synthetase from S. arctica improved DHA uptake in the heterologous yeast host and led to an improvement in desaturation and elongation efficiencies. 相似文献

Eosinophils are key components of our host defense and potent effectors in allergic and inflammatory diseases. Once recruited to the inflammatory site, eosinophils release their cytotoxic granule proteins as well as cytokines and lipid mediators, contributing to parasite clearance but also to exacerbation of inflammation and tissue damage. However, eosinophils have recently been shown to play an important homeostatic role in different tissues under steady state. Despite the tremendous progress in the treatment of eosinophilic disorders with the implementation of biologics, there is an unmet need for novel therapies that specifically target the cytotoxic effector functions of eosinophils without completely depleting this multifunctional immune cell type. Recent studies have uncovered several endogenous molecules that decrease eosinophil migration and activation. These include short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as butyrate, which are produced in large quantities in the gastrointestinal tract by commensal bacteria and enter the systemic circulation. In addition, high-density lipoprotein-associated anti-inflammatory apolipoproteins have recently been shown to attenuate eosinophil migration and activation. Here, we focus on the anti-pathogenic properties of SCFAs and apolipoproteins on eosinophil effector function and provide insights into the potential use of SCFAs and apolipoproteins (and their mimetics) as effective agents to combat eosinophilic inflammation. 相似文献

A series of carboxylate gemini surfactants, which contain two hydrocarbon chains linked by amide groups, two carboxylate groups, a flexible alkane spacer were synthesized by three-step reactions and named alkylidene–bis-(N,N′-dodecyl-carboxypropylamides) (2C12H25CnAm; n = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 is the number of methylene groups of the spacer), their structures were confirmed by FTIR,1H NMR, and LC–MS/TOF, and their purity checked by HPLC. The micellar properties with increasing spacer chain length of these gemini surfactants were determined by surface tension methods. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) varies slightly with spacer chain length; surface tension at CMC(γCMC), the tendency of micellization versus adsorption, CMC/C20, the minimum area per surfactant molecule at the air/solution interface (ACMC), all decrease with increasing spacer chain length; surface reduction efficiency, pC20, the surface excess at the air/solution interface (ГCMC) increase with increasing spacer chain length. The results probably indicate that increasing spacer chain length of these carboxylate gemini surfactants will increase spacer incorporation into the double hydrophobic chain. 相似文献

The application of ionic liquids (ILs) has grown enormously, from their use as simple solvents, catalysts, media in separation science, or electrolytes to that as task-specific, tunable molecular machines with appropriate properties. A thorough understanding of these properties and structure–property relationships is needed to fully exploit their potential, open new directions in IL-based research and, finally, properly implement the appropriate applications. In this work, we investigated the structure–properties relationships of a series of alkyltriethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide [TEA-R][TFSI] ionic liquids in relation to their thermal behavior, structure organization, and self-diffusion coefficients in the bulk state using DSC, FT-IR, SAXS, and NMR diffusometry techniques. The phase transition temperatures were determined, indicating alkyl chain dependency. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy studies revealed the structuration of the ionic liquids along with alkyl chain elongation. SAXS experiments clearly demonstrated the existence of polar/non-polar domains. The alkyl chain length influenced the expansion of the non-polar domains, leading to the expansion between cation heads in polar regions of the structured IL. 1H NMR self-diffusion coefficients indicated that alkyl chain elongation generally caused the lowering of the self-diffusion coefficients. Moreover, we show that the diffusion of anions and cations of ILs is similar, even though they vary in their size. 相似文献

研究了线型等规聚丙烯(iPP)和短支链聚丙烯(SCBPP)的引入对长支链聚丙烯(LCBPP)加工流变行为的影响。结果表明:将线型iPP引入LCBPP相当于降低了长支链分子在共混体系中的含量;而当SCBPP引入LCBPP时,由于短支链的隔离作用会使LCBPP分子链间距增大,并且阻碍了LCBPP长支链分子间的缠结,而未缠结的长支链则起到类似增塑剂的作用。因此,线型iPP和SCBPP的引入均会使LCBPP的剪切黏度降低,其中在用量相同的条件下,SCBPP对LCBPP剪切黏度的降低效果明显优于线型iPP。 相似文献

Several methods are available for elongation of fatty acid acyl chains. The present paper describes adaptation to the fatty acid field of a previously published protocol for manganese-based Wurtz type coupling of alkyl bromides. 22-Bromo-3(Z),6(Z),9(Z),12(Z),15(Z),18(Z)-docosahexaene, easily prepared from 4(Z),7(Z),10(Z),13(Z),16(Z),19(Z)-docosahexaenoic acid, was coupled to homologous ω-bromoesters by stirring for 4 hours at 40°C in the presence of manganese powder, a nickel catalyst and terpyridine. This afforded in yields of 70–75% a series of ω3-hexaenoates of chain lengths of 32–40 carbons. The corresponding fatty acids of >98% purity were obtained following saponification and final purification. By using methyl [2,2,3,3,4,4-2H6]10-bromodecanoate as coupling partner it was possible to prepare a very long chain fatty acid in isotopically labeled form, i.e., [2,2,3,3,4,4-2H6]14(Z),17(Z),20(Z),23(Z),26(Z),29(Z)-dotriacontahexaenoic acid. Also prepared were the monounsaturated long chain fatty acids 15(Z)-octadecenoic acid and 15(Z)-tetracosenoic acid. Very long chain fatty acids have been isolated from retina and other tissues and are of biological relevance. The methodology described will assist in further analytical and biological studies in this field. 相似文献

The ratio of C26:0/C22:0 fatty acids in patient lipids is widely accepted as a critical clinical criterion of peroxisomal diseases, such as Zellweger syndrome and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). However, phospholipid molecular species with very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) have not been precisely characterized. In the present study, the structures of such molecules in fibroblasts of Zellweger syndrome and X-ALD were examined using LC–ESI–MS/MS analysis. In fibroblasts from Zellweger patients, a large number of VLCFA-containing molecular species were detected in several phospholipid classes as well as neutral lipids, including triacylglycerol and cholesteryl esters. Among these lipids, phosphatidylcholine showed the most diversity in the structures of VLCFA-containing molecular species. Some VLCFA possessed longer carbon chains and/or larger number of double bonds than C26:0-fatty acid (FA). Similar VLCFA were also found in other phospholipid classes, such as phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. In addition, VLCFA-containing phospholipid species showed some differences among fibroblasts from Zellweger patients. It appears that phospholipids with VLCFA, with or without double bonds, as well as C26:0-FA might affect cellular functions, thus leading to the pathogenesis of peroxisomal diseases, such as Zellweger syndrome and X-ALD. 相似文献

Systematic experimental work was conducted to investigate the solid acceleration length in a 16 m long circulating fluidized bed riser with fluid cracking catalyst particles over a wide range of operating conditions. A more feasible method is proposed to determine the acceleration length from the measured axial profiles of pressure gradient (or apparent solid holdup). With this new method and large amount of experimental data, a clear picture on the variation of the acceleration length with both solid circulating rate and superficial gas velocity is obtained.It is found that the acceleration length increases generally with increasing solid flow rate and/or decreasing gasvelocity. However, the trend in variation of the acceleration length with operating conditions are quite different in different operation ranges. Reasonable explanations are suggested for the observed variation patterns of acceleration length. 相似文献

The early to mid-gestational period (days 28-78) in sheep is the period of most rapid placental development. Maternal nutrient restriction (MNR) in this phase has negative consequences on fetal growth and development, predisposing the fetus to disease in adult life. The influence of MNR on fetal tissue fatty acids has not been reported. Ewes were fed to 50% (MNR) or 100% (control fed) of total digestible nutrients from days 28 to 78 of gestation. At 78 days, fetuses were sacrificed and the fatty acids in fetal liver, lung and muscle as well as maternal and fetal plasma were analyzed. Most fatty acids were not influenced by MNR. The n-3 long chain PUFA eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) concentration (microg/mg) was low and more than doubled in the MNR sheep. Similarly, docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n-3, DPA) increased by 60, 19, and 38% in liver, lung, and muscle, respectively. Neither docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, DHA) nor any of n-6 PUFA changed. Arachidonic acid (20:4n-6; ARA) increased in MNR maternal plasma as a percent of total fatty acids only, while in MNR fetal plasma only EPA increased. These results provide the first indication that MNR in early to mid-gestation influences the profiles of LCPUFA in fetal tissues, and suggest that metabolic processes involving LCPUFA should be considered in evaluations of the impact of maternal nutriture on perinatal health. 相似文献

Short‐chain fatty acids (SCFA) such as acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid are produced by fermentation by gut microbiota. In this paper, we investigate the effects of SCFA on 3T3‐L1 cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms. The cells were treated with acetic acid, propionic acid, or butyric acid when cells were induced to differentiate into adipocytes. MTT assay was employed to detect the viability of 3T3‐L1 cells. Oil Red O staining was used to visualize the lipid content in 3T3‐L1 cells. A triglyceride assay kit was used to detect the triacylglycerol content in 3T3‐L1 cells. qRT‐PCR and Western blot were used to evaluate the expression of metabolic enzymes. MTT results showed that safe concentrations of acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid were less than 6.4, 3.2, and 0.8 mM, respectively. Oil Red O staining and triacylglycerols detection results showed that treatment with acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid accelerated the 3T3‐L1 adipocyte differentiation. qRT‐PCR and Western blot results showed that the expressions of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), adipocyte fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), fatty acid transporter protein 4 (FATP4), and fatty acid synthase (FAS) were significantly increased by acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid treatment during adipose differentiation (p < 0.05). In conclusion, SCFA promoted lipid accumulation by modulating the expression of enzymes of fatty acid metabolism. 相似文献

We evaluated the presence of tight junction (TJ) remnants in the stratum corneum (SC) of in vitro reconstructed human epidermis and human skin explants subjected or not to an aggressive topical treatment with beta-lipohydroxy salicylic acid (LSA) for 24 h. LSA-treated samples showed an increased presence of TJ remnants in the two lowermost layers of the SC, as quantified with standard electron microscopy. The topical aggression-induced overexpression of TJ-like cell–cell envelope fusions may influence SC functions: (1) directly, through an enhanced cohesion, and (2) indirectly, by impeding accessibility of peripheral corneodesmosomes to extracellular hydrolytic enzymes and, thus, slowing down desquamation. Observations of ichthyotic epidermis in peeling skin disease (PSD; corneodesmosin deficiency; two cases) and ichthyosis hypotrichosis sclerosing cholangitis syndrome (IHSC/NISCH; absence of claudin-1; two cases) also demonstrated increased persistence of TJ-like intercellular fusions in pathological SC and contributed to the interpretation of the diseases’ pathological mechanisms. 相似文献
