Abstract: | The lipid composition of Yoshida ascites hepatoma cells was analyzed together with that of ascitic plasma and of livers and
blood plasma from host and normal rats. In comparison to normal livers, host livers showed no significant differences in the
content of the various lipid classes, but contained a higher percentage of palmitic acid and a lower proportion of arachidonic
acid in the major phospholipid classes. In addition, tumor growth induced a marked hypertriglyceridemia in host animals; changes
in the concentration of other plasma lipid classes were not statistically significant. The ascitic plasma contained small
amounts of lipids mainly constituted by cholesteryl esters and phospholipids. Yoshida hepatoma cells contained less phospholipids
in comparison to both host and normal liver, while the increased level of triglycerides and the decrease of free fatty acids
were not statistically significant. Hepatoma cells showed appreciable amounts of ether-linked lipids associated in part to
neutral lipids (as glyceryl ether diesters) and, in part, to ethanolamine and choline phosphoglycerides. The alkyl groups
in GEDE as well as in ethanolamine and choline phosphoglycerides were mainly constituted by C16∶0 and C18∶0 followed by C18∶1. The alk-1-enyl groups in ethanolamine and choline phosphoglycerides were C16∶0 and C18∶0 with only a minor proportion of C18∶1. In comparison to both host and normal liver, Yoshida hepatoma cells showed significant changes in the fatty acid composition
of neutral lipids and phospholipids. Some of the major changes consisted of an increase of monoenoic acids associated with
a decrease of arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids in phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylinositol. |
