Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of differentiation on the phospholipid and phospholipid fatty acid composition of N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells were determined. The cellular lipids were extracted on days 0, 3 and 7, following the addition of 1.2% dimethylsulfoxide to induce cellular differentiation. Proportions of ethanolamine glycerophospholipids (EtnGpl), phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and sphingomyelin (CerPCho) were significantly elevated following differentiation. The mole percentage of choline glycerophospholipids (ChoGpl) decreased with differentiation. The plasmalogens, both choline and ethanolamine, increased by 1.3- and 2.3-fold, respectively, during differentiation. The fatty acid composition of the phospholipid classes was also altered. PtdIns and ChoGpl had decreased proportions of polyenoic fatty acids, while these proportions were increased in EtnGpl. Both ChoGpl and EtnGpl had increased n-3/n-6 series fatty acid ratios, but this ratio was decreased in PtdIns. The mole percentage of arachidonic acid was significantly decreased in both PtdIns and ChoGpl, but elevated in EtnGpl and may be a result of the increase in ethanolamine plasmalogen. Thus, differentiation did not increase the overall mole percentage of polyenoic FA in the cells nor increase the n-6 series fatty acid proportions. We speculate plasmalogens may have a role in the differentiation process or in maintaining the cell in the differentiated state.
