6. Diacylglycerol accepts CDP-activated choline or ethanolamine. Activation of choline in two steps: 1 Synthesis of phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, and phosphatidyl serine Choline + ATP choline phosphate + ADP Choline phosphate + CTP CDP-choline + PP i CDP-choline plays a part formally similar to that of UDP-glucose in the synthesis of glycogen. activated choline CH 3 CH 3 OH OH O N N O NH 2 O – CH 2 O – O O CH 3 –N–CH 2 –CH 2 –O–P–O–P–O– + O – O + CH 3 –N–CH 2 –CH 2 –O–P–O – CH 3 CH 3

8. Phosphatidyl ethanolamine + serine phosphatidyl serine + ethanolamine Phosphatidyl serine (PS) is not, in animals, formed directly in this way, but as exchange of serine for the ethanolamine of PE: Phosphatidyl serine can be also decarboxylated to form PE .

10. CDP-diacylglycerol + inositol CMP + phosphatidyl inositol (PI) CDP-Diacylglycerol then reacts with free inositol to give phosphatidyl inositol (PI) Further phosphorylations of PI generate phosphatidyl inositol bis phosphate (PIP 2 ) which is an intermediate of the phosphatidyl inositol cycle generating important intracellular messengers IP 3 and diacylglycerol.
11. Phosphatidyl inositol phosphates (PIP, PIP 2 , PIP 3 ) are minor components of plasma membranes, and their turnover is stimulated by certain hormones. A specific phospholipase C, under hormonal control, hydrolyses phosphatidyl 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP 2 ) to diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3 ), both are second messengers IP 3 Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate R–CO–O–CH R–CO–O–CH 2 CH 2 -O-PO O - O- R–CO–O–CH R–CO–O–CH 2 CH 2 -OH O-PO 3 2 - 2- O 3 PO OH OH OH 2- O 3 P-O O-PO 3 2 - 2- O 3 PO OH OH OH PIP 2 PI 3,4-bisphosphate DG

16. Anchoring of proteins to membrane The linkage between the COOH-terminus of a protein and phosphatidylinositol fixed in the membrane lipidic bilayer exist in several ectoenzymes (alkaline phosphatase, acetylcholinesterase, some antigens).
17. Lung surfactant The major component is dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine . It contributes to a reduction in the surface tension within the alveoli (air spaces) of the lung, preventing their collapse in expiration. Less pressure is needed to re-inflate lung alveoli when surfactant is present. The respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) of premature infants is caused, at least in part, by a deficiency in the synthesis of lung surfactant.
18. Catabolism of glycerophospholipids Enzymes catalysing hydrolysis of glycerophosholipids are called phospholipases . Phospholipases are present in cell membranes or in lysosomes. Different types (A 1 , A 2 , C, D) hydrolyse the substrates at specific ester bonds: O – O P–O–X (head group) R–CO–O–CH 2 R–CO–O–CH CH 2 –O C A 1 A 2 D (only in brain and plants)

30. Degradation of sphingolipids in lysosomes In lysosomes, a number of specific enzymes catalyse hydrolysis of ester and glycosidic linkages of sphingolipids. Sphingomyelins loose phosphocholine to give ceramide . Glycolipids due to the action of various specific glycosidases get rid of the saccharidic component to give ceramide . Ceramide is hydrolysed (ceramidase) to fatty acid and sphingosine . Sphingosine is decomposed in the pathway that looks nearly like the reversal of its biosynthesis from palmitoyl-CoA and serine. After phosphorylation, sphingosine is broken down to phosphoethanolamine (decarboxylated serine) and palmitaldehyde , that is oxidized to palmitate.

32. In general, the turnover of sphingolipids is very slow, particularly in brain. Sphingolipidosis Inherited defects in production of the enzymes that catabolize sphingolipids . They result in accumulation of their substrates in lysosomes, leading to lysosomal damage and to disruption of the cell as new lysosomes continue to be formed and their large number interferes with other cellular functions. In the sphingolipidosis mainly the cells of the central nervous system (including brain and retina) are affected.
34. Eicosanoids Local hormons Synthesis of eicosanoids: PG, TX (prostanoidy) – cyclooxygenase pathway LT (Leukotriens) – lipoxygenase pathway The main types of eicosanoids: prostaglandins (PG) tromboxans (TX) leukotriens (LT) They are synthesized from polyunsaturetd fatty acids with 20 carbons

38. Involvement of prostanoids in physiological processes - examples TXA 2 (tromboxane A 2 ) It is produced in platelts, it stimulates vasoconstriction and and platelet agregation Duration of action 30-60 s PGI 2 (prostacycline A 2 ) It is antagonist of TXA 2, , it is produced by vascular endothelium, it inhibits platelet coagulation and has vasodilatation effects, half-life 3 min. Their equilibrated effects takes part in platelet coagulation and vasomotor and smooth muscle tone.
39. PGE 2 is produced by mucose cells of the stomach and inhibits HCl secretion PGE 2 and PGF 2 are synthesized in endometrium and induce uterine contractions. Their concentration in amniotic fluid during pregnancy is low , it significantly increases during delivery. Together with oxytocin is involved in the induction of labor. It r educes the risk of peptic ulcer They can be used to induce abortion by inttravenous or intravaginal application

44. The enzyme equipment of various tissues is different E.g., in the lung and the spleen, the enzyme equipment enables biosynthesis of all eicosanoid types. In blood platelets , only thromboxan synthase is present. The endothelial cells of blood vessels synthesize only prostacyclins. The catabolism of prostanoids is very rapid - Enzyme catalyzed ( t 1/2 ~ 0,1-10 min) - non-enzymic hydrolysis ( t 1/2 sec-min)

47. I nhibition of cyclooxygenase suppresses the effects of prostanoids … it has the positive effects ( the anti-inflammatory effect, relief of pain, mitigation of fever. …) … .o n the contrary, there may be some undesirable effects of blocked prostanoid production, e.g. decline in blood platelet aggregation, decreased protection of endothelial cells and of gastric mucosa. Therefore d rugs are being developed which w ould act as selective inhibitors of COX-2 without the adverse gastrointestinal and anti-platelet side effects of non-specific inhibitors of COX.
48. COX-2 inhibitors They are proposed to act as potent anti-inflammatory agents by inhibiting COX-2 activity, without the gastrointestinal (stomach ulcer) and antiplatelet side effects associated with NSAIDs Examples: celecoxib, rofecoxib However further studies indicated that specific COX-2 inhibitors may have a negative effect on cardiovascular function. Coxibs were withdrawn from the market by its manufacturer because of negative patients study Nimesulid (AULIN, COXTRAL), meloxikam (ANTREND,LORMED,MELOBAX) – are still used, they inhibit more COX-2 than COX-1 and must be used with caution
49. Acetylsalicyl ic acid (Aspirin) salicylic acid acetylsalicylic acid It covalently acetylates the active site of cyclo-oxygenase, causing its irreversible inhibition anti-thrombotic action (prevention) ~ 50 mg analgetic, anti-pyretic actions ~ 500 mg
50. Low-doses of aspirin (ASA, 81-325 mg daily) has been shown to be effective in prevention of acute myocardial infarction. Aspirin blocks the production of TXA 2. by inhibition of COX The principal effect of TXA 2 is the stimulation of platelets aggregation. It may initiate the formation of trombus at sites of vascular injury or in the vicinity of ruptured atherosclerotic plaque. Such thrombi may cause sudden total occlusion of vascular lumen. By aspirin treatment the effect the effects of thromboxane are attenuated. Protective effect of acetylsalicylic acid

73. Transport of cholesterol in blood in form of lipoproteins From liver transported in form of VLDL Most of VLDL is converted to LDL after the utilization of main part of TG contained in them LDL transfers cholesterol into the periferal tissues Reverse transport of cholesterol to the liver - HDL 25-40% - esterified cholesterol
74. Cholesterol in blood Recommended value < 5 mmol / l When the total cholesterol level exceeds 5 mmol /l further investigation of lipid metabolism is necessary, especially the finding of the cholesterol distribution in the lipoprotein fractions LDL-cholesterol = „bad“ cholesterol HDL-cholesterol = „good“ cholesterol A high proportion of serum total cholesterol incorporated in HDL is considered as a sign of the satisfactory ability of an organism to eliminate undesirable excess cholesterol. On the contrary, an increased concentration of LDL-cholesterol represents the high coronary risk involved in hypercholesterolaemia. See Biochemistry II – 4.semestr
