Cholesterol-induced interfacial area condensations of galactosylceramides and sphingomyelins with identical acyl chains.
The interfacial interactions occurring between cholesterol and either galactosylceramides (GalCers) or sphingomyelins (SMs) with identical acyl chains have been investigated using Langmuir film balance techniques. Included among the synthesized GalCers and SMs were species containing palmitoyl (16:0), stearoyl (18:0), oleoyl [18:1 delta 9(c)], nervonoyl [24:1 delta 15(c)], or linoleoyl [18:2 de...
متن کاملThermotropic behavior of galactosylceramides with cis-monoenoic fatty acyl chains.
To define the thermotropic behavior of galactosylceramides (GalCer) containing cis monounsaturated acyl chains, N-X:1Delta(X-9) cis galactosylsphingosines (GalSph) were synthesized (where X=24, 22, 20, or 18) and investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). After hydration of dried glycolipid, aqueous dispersions were prepared by repetitive heating and freeze-thaw cycles. The DSC da...
متن کاملHost Lipid Acyl Chains
The partition coefficient Kp was measured for a headgroup-labeled phospholipid (12:0,12:0)-N-(7-nitrobenz-2oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)-PE (12-NBD-PE), equilibrated between LUV of a series of phosphatidylcholines (PC). Fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the 12-NBD-PE and a headgroup-rhodamine-labeled PE was used to find the equilibrium concentration of the 12-NBD-PE in the different LUV. Re...
متن کاملRole for phospholipid acyl chains and cholesterol in pulmonary infections and inflammation.
Bacterial and viral respiratory tract infections result in millions of deaths worldwide and are currently the leading cause of death from infection. Acute inflammation is an essential element of host defense against infection, but can be damaging to the host when left unchecked. Effective host defense requires multiple lipid mediators, which collectively have proinflammatory and/or proresolving...
