چکیده

l. S-alkyl glycerol ethers were isolated by thin-layer chromatography from the total lipids of Ehrlich ascites cells following reduction with vitride. 2. Gas-liquid chromatography of the isopropylidene derivatives showed the principal component to be 16:O (83*,i) with lesser amounts of 1X:1 (14%) and 18:O (2”:;). 3. Quanti~dtive analysis yielded values of about 2~moles~~~mg lipid for the isolated thioethers.

Ehrlich ascites tumor cell surface membranes: an abnormality in ether lipid content.

Most mammalian neoplasms have a defect in ether lipid content manifested by the presence of abnormally large quantities of 0-alkyl glyceryl ethers, in contrast to normal tissues in which the alk-1-enyl structure predominates. These lipids are for the most part structural. The manner in which tumor cell plasma membranes differ from normal may be important, and it has been hitherto unclear whethe...

Biosynthesis of an O-alkyl analogue of phosphatidic acid and O-alkylglycerols via O-alkyl ketone intermediates by microsomal enzymes of Ehrlich ascites tumor.

Microsomal enzymes from Ehrlich ascites tumors synthesized 0-alkyl glyceryl ethers from hexadecanol and dihydroxyacetone phosphate in the presence of ATP, CoA, and Mg++. Glyceryl ether synthesis occurred via the formation of 0-alkyldihydroxyacetone phosphate and O-alkyldihydroxyacetone. Although NADPH inhibited the initial reaction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate with fatty alcohol, it was requir...

Tumor lipids: identification of sterol ester species in Ehrlich ascites cells.

The sterol ester fraction of Ehrlich ascites cell lipids was analyzed to determine: the type of sterol, the identity of the fatty acids esterified to the sterol, the presence or absence of carcinolipin, and the presence or absence of O-alkyl cholesteryl ethers. Gas-liquid Chromatographie analyses of the intact sterol esters and sterol derivatives showed the sterol to be cholesterol. The fatty a...

Tumor Lipids BIOSYNTHESIS

Labeled long chain acyl-CoA, aldehyde, and alcohol (16:0) were incubated in the peritoneal cavity of mice bearing Ehrlich ascites cells and the distribution of radioactivity in the acyl, alkyl, and alk-1-enyl moieties of various neutral lipid and phospholipid classes was compared. The results suggested the following metabolic relations. 1. Alkyl glyceryl ethers are precursors of alk-l-enyl glyc...
