Abstract:
ABSTRACT Candida albicans is an opportunistic dimorphic fungus that inhabits various host mucosal sites. Conversion from the yeast to the hyphal form has been associated with increased virulence and mucosal invasiveness. C. albicans morphogenesis is regulated by multiple signals and signaling pathways. However, signals that control morphogenesis in vivo are unknown. We investigated the effects of host long chain fatty acids, eicosanoids, and bacterial short chain fatty acids on control of germination. None of the C18 or C20 fatty acids tested had an effect on enhancing germ tube formation (arachidonic acid, oleic acid, linolenic acid, or γ-linolenic acid). Among the different eicosanoids, both prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane B2 significantly enhanced serum-induced germination by C. albicans. Addition of antiprostaglandin or antithromboxane antibodies to serum alone inhibited germ tube formation by almost 30%, while control antibody had no effect, indicating that these eicosanoids are major morphogenic factors in the serum. Since these molecules also bind to albumin, this may also explain the hyphal transforming activity in serum that associates with albumin. Interestingly, short chain fatty acids (butyric acid), the product of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), inhibited germination. In addition, LAB culture supernatants as well as live LAB also inhibited C. albicans morphogenesis. Overall, these results indicate that fatty acid metabolites and fatty acid pathways can up-regulate and down-regulate germination in C. albicans.

Abstract:
We applied an untargeted metabolomics technique to analyze the plasma carboxyl-metabolome of beef steers with divergent average daily gain (ADG). Forty-eight newly weaned Angus crossbred beef steers were fed the same total mixed ration ad libitum for 42 days. On day 42, the steers were divided into two groups of lowest (LF: n = 8) and highest ADG (HF: n = 8), and blood samples were obtained from the two groups for plasma preparation. Relative quantification of carboxylic-acid-containing metabolites in the plasma samples was determined using a metabolomics technique based on chemical isotope labeling liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Metabolites that differed (fold change (FC) ≥ 1.2 or ≤ 0.83 and FDR ≤ 0.05) between LF and HF were identified using a volcano plot. Metabolite set enrichment analysis (MSEA) of the differential metabolites was done to determine the metabolic pathways or enzymes that were potentially altered. In total, 328 metabolites were identified. Volcano plot analysis revealed 43 differentially abundant metabolites; several short chain fatty acids and ketone bodies had greater abundance in HF steers. Conversely, several long chain fatty acids were greater in LF steers. Five enzymatic pathways, such as fatty acyl CoA elongation and fatty-acid CoA ligase were altered based on MSEA. This study demonstrated that beef steers with divergent ADG had altered plasma carboxyl-metabolome, which is possibly caused by altered abundances and/or activities of enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation and biosynthesis in the liver.

Abstract:
Background: Styrax tonkinensis is an economic tree species with high timber, medicine, oil, and ornamental value. Its seed, containing a particularly high oil content, are widely studied for their biodiesel properties by nutritional components and oil body ultrastructure. However, their comprehensive biochemical compositions have not been studied. Methods: During S. tonkinensis kernel development, we collected samples from four time points for metabolite profiling and classification through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: A total of 187 and 1556 metabolites were obtained, respectively. All of the metabolites were grouped into 19 and 21 classes by their chemical properties and into 8 clusters based on their change trends, respectively. Among all the metabolites, carboxylic acids and derivatives, flavonoids, fatty acyls, glycerophospholipids, organooxygen compounds, prenol lipids, and steroids and steroid derivatives were the main components. Alanine, glutamine, tryptophan, tyrosine and valine were the five most abundant amino acids. Palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid were the four major free fatty acids. Flavans, flavonoid glycosides and o-methylated flavonoids were the three major flavonoids. The differential metabolites distributions between different time points were identified. A pathway enrichment was performed, which was mainly focused on three groups, amino acids metabolism, carbon flow from sucrose to lipid and secondary metabolites biosynthesis. Conclusions: It’s the first time to analyze the metabolite fingerprinting for developing S. tonkinensis kernels and identify varied kinds of flavonoids. We performed metabolite profiling, classification and pathway enrichment to assess the comprehensive biochemical compositions. Our results described the change in major metabolites and main metabolic processes during S. tonkinensis kernel development and provided a variety of bases for seed applications as biofuel or medicine.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives Maternal plasma metabolites have been linked with pregnancy outcomes, and two studies reported that metabolite levels differ by trimester. However, dynamic metabolite trajectories in normal pregnancy have not been characterized. We examined metabolite trajectories and tested whether trajectories differed by maternal body mass index (BMI) or fetal sex. Methods We quantified 3 panels of targeted metabolites—37 amino acids, 37 phospholipid fatty acids and 28 acylcarnitines—in blood samples collected longitudinally from 214 pregnant women (at 10–14, 15–26, 26–31, and 33–39 weeks, staggered to sample most weeks of pregnancy). Participants were healthy controls in a nested case-control study in the Fetal Growth Studies—Singletons. We used linear mixed models to estimate metabolite trajectories and evaluate if trajectories varied by maternal BMI (<25, 25–29.9, 30) or fetal sex. We used novel methods such as hierarchical clustering to group metabolite trajectories. Results Concentrations of most carnitines, 57% of fatty acids, and 24% of amino acids (e.g., branched chain amino acids) significantly decreased over pregnancy; 22% of fatty acids and 24% of amino acids (e.g., threonine, histidine) significantly increased. Trajectories of 2 carnitines (propionylcarnitine and stearoylcarnitine) and 3 fatty acids (15:0, 17:0, 22:0) significantly differed by sex. Trajectories of dodecenoylcarnitine, 2 fatty acids and 2 fatty acid ratios (17:0, 20:3n6, AA/DHA, AA/(DHA + EPA)) significantly differed by BMI: specifically, 17:0, AA/DHA, and AA/(DHA + EPA) decreased less over pregnancy for women with high BMI. Conclusions Concentrations of most metabolites significantly changed during pregnancy, and trajectories of some carnitines and fatty acids differed significantly by maternal BMI and fetal sex. Future pregnancy metabolomics studies should consider BMI, fetal sex, and multiple samples across pregnancy.

Abstract:
446 Background: Pre-operative kidney volume is an independent predictor of glomerular filtration rate in renal cell carcinoma patients. Compensatory renal growth (CRG) can ensue prior to nephrectomy in parallel to tumor growth and benign parenchyma loss. We aimed to test whether renal metabolite abundances significantly associate with CRG, suggesting a causative relationship. Methods: Tissue metabolomics data from 49 patients, with a median age of 60 years, were previously collected and the pre-operative fold-change of their contra to ipsi-lateral benign kidney volume served as a surrogate for their CRG. Contra-lateral kidney volume fold-change within a 3.3 +/- 2.1 years follow-up interval was used as a surrogate for long-term CRG. Using a multivariable statistical model we identified metabolites whose abundances significantly associate with CRG. Results: We identified 13 metabolites in the benign (e.g. L-urobilin) and 163 metabolites in the malignant (e.g. 3-indoxyl-sulfate) tissues to significantly associate with CRG. Benign/tumor fold change in metabolite abundances revealed three additional metabolites with a significant positive association with CRG (e.g. p-cresol sulfate). At the pathway level, we show that fatty-acid oxidation is highly enriched with metabolites whose benign tissue abundances strongly positively associate with CRG, whereas in the tumor tissue significant enrichment of dipeptides (positive association) and benzoate, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, lysolipid and nucleotide sugar pentose (negative associations) sub-pathways were observed. The effect of metabolite abundances in the benign tissue on long term CRG provided further support for positive association of fatty-acid metabolism sub-pathway enrichment, where sphingolipid, monoacylglycerol, long chain fatty acids, and mid chain fatty acids were enriched for a negative association. Conclusions: These data suggest that specific biological processes in the benign as well as in the tumor parenchyma strongly influence compensatory renal growth.

Abstract:
Residual feed intake (RFI) is designed to estimate net efficiency of feed use, so low RFI animals are considered for selection to reduce feeding costs. However, metabolic profiling of cows and availability of predictive metabolic biomarkers for RFI are scarce. Therefore, this study aims to generate a better understanding of metabolic mechanisms behind low and high RFI in Jerseys and Holsteins and identify potential predictive metabolic biomarkers. Each metabolite was analyzed to reveal their associations with two RFIs in two breeds by a linear regression model. An integrative analysis of metabolomics and transcriptomics was performed to explore interactions between functionally related metabolites and genes in the created metabolite networks. We found that three main clusters were detected in the heat map and all identified fatty acids (palmitoleic, hexadecanoic, octadecanoic, heptadecanoic, and tetradecanoic acid) were grouped in a cluster. The lower cluster were all from fatty acids, including palmitoleic acid, hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, heptadecanoic acid, and tetradecanoic acid. The first component of the partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) explained a majority (61.5%) of variations of all metabolites. A good division between two breeds was also observed. Significant differences between low and high RFIs existed in the fatty acid group (P < 0.001). Statistical results revealed clearly significant differences between breeds; however, the association of individual metabolites (leucine, ornithine, pentadecanoic acid, and valine) with the RFI status was only marginally significant or not significant due to a lower sample size. The integrated gene-metabolite pathway analysis showed that pathway impact values were higher than those of a single metabolic pathway. Both types of pathway analyses revealed three important pathways, which were aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, and the citrate cycle (TCA cycle). Finally, one gene (2-hydroxyacyl-CoA lyase 1 (+HACL1)) associated with two metabolites (-α-ketoglutarate and succinic acid) were identified in the gene-metabolite interaction network. This study provided novel metabolic pathways and integrated metabolic-gene expression networks in high and low RFI Holstein and Jersey cattle, thereby providing a better understanding of novel biochemical mechanisms underlying variation in feed efficiency.

Abstract:
The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is used to diagnose gestational and other types of diabetes. We examined metabolite changes during an OGTT, and how a comprehensive diet and physical activity intervention may influence these changes in a population of overweight/obese Hispanic pregnant women. Integration of changes in metabolites during an OGTT may help us gain preliminary insights into how glucose metabolism changes during pregnancy. Among women from the Pregnancy and EARly Lifestyle improvement Study (PEARLS), we measured metabolites during a multipoint OGTT (fasting, 30, 60 and 120 min) at early and mid-pregnancy. Metabolite levels were measured by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry in plasma samples in the lifestyle intervention (n = 13) and control (n = 16) arms of the study. A total of 65 candidate metabolites were selected that displayed changes during an OGTT in previous studies. Paired and unpaired t-tests were used to examine differences in Δfast-120 min: (1) at early and mid-pregnancy; and (2) by intervention assignment. We applied principal component analysis (PCA) to identify those metabolites that differed by intervention assignment and OGTT time points. Most of the characteristic changes in metabolites post-OGTT were similar at both gestational time points. PCA identified characteristic metabolite patterns associated with OGTT time points at both early and mid-pregnancy. These metabolites included ketone bodies, tryptophan, acyl carnitines, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and biomarkers related to bile acid, urea cycle, arginine, and proline metabolism. PCA identified distinct Δfast-120 min in fatty acid, acyl carnitine, bile acid, ketone body, and amino acid levels at mid- compared to early pregnancy. Participants in the intervention group did not display mean decreases in Δfast-120 min of several long-chain acyl carnitines that were observed in the control group. These findings provide preliminary insight into metabolites, whose role in increased insulin resistance during pregnancy, should be explored further in future studies.

Full text
Abstract:

In the presence of arachidonic acid (AA), Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). S. cerevisiae and its metabolites may be consumed in products manufactured using the yeast (e.g. beer). Neutrophils are immune cells present in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract during inflammation. As a lipid-signaling molecule, PGE2 can potentially modify neutrophil functions and exacerbate pre-existing inflammation. As neutrophil migration is a hallmark of inflammation, we investigated the impact of PGE2 on neutrophil chemotaxis. Chemotaxis assays were performed on neutrophils isolated from human whole blood using the chemotactic agents f-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) or interleukin-8 (IL-8). Neutrophil chemotaxis was concentration dependent as it was enhanced 3.5-fold at low concentrations of PGE2 (0.1 nM-10 nM) and reduced 3.0-fold at higher concentrations of PGE2 (100 nM).

The biochemical pathway utilized by S. cerevisiae to produce PGE2 is unknown. Identifying enzymes that metabolize AA may direct approaches to reduce the impact that yeast PGE2 may have on neutrophils. S. cerevisiae does not have genes homologous to those involved in mammalian AA metabolism. We employed RNAseq transcriptome sequencing to study the lipid biosynthetic pathway in S. cerevisiae and observed 1248 genes upregulated in yeast that were cultured in the presence of AA relative to yeast that were cultured without AA. Notably, genes that mediate beta-oxidation of fatty acids (Pot1, Pox1, Faa1 and Faa2) were upregulated up to 2.3-fold.

The results demonstrate that low concentrations of PGE2 enhance neutrophil chemotaxis that is mediated by fMLP or IL-8, suggesting that PGE 2 may aid in recruiting neutrophils from regions that are distant to a site of inflammation. Once a higher concentration of PGE2 is encountered by neutrophils, neutrophils may halt their migration and engage effector functions such as phagocytosis and superoxide production. Increased expression of genes involved with fatty acid metabolism points to enzymes that may utilize AA to produce PGE2 in S. cerevisiae. Experiments testing PGE2 levels in knock-out strains of yeast will identify genes involved in PGE2 production. Results of this study have implications to reduce potential off-target effects caused by yeast PGE 2 in consumables.

Full text
Abstract:
Streptomyces coelicolor produces fatty acids for both primary metabolism and for production of the components of natural products such as undecylprodiginine. Primary metabolism makes the longer and predominantly branched-chain fatty acids, while undecylprodiginine utilizes shorter and almost exclusively straight chain fatty acids. The first step in fatty acid biosynthetic process is catalyzed by FabH (β-ketoacyl synthase III), which catalyzes a decarboxylative condensation of an acyl-CoA primer with malonyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP). The resulting 3-ketoacyl-ACP product is reduced by NADPH-dependent FabG into 3-hydroxyacyl-ACP, which is dehydrated by FabA to form enoyl-ACP. The NADH-dependent FabI (InhA) completes the cycle. Subsequent rounds of elongations in the pathways are catalyzed by the condensing enzyme FabF. For undecylprodiginine biosynthesis in S. coelicolor, homologues of the condensing enzymes (FabH and FabF) and the ACP (FabC) are encoded by redP, redR and redQ respectively in the red gene cluster. The genes encoding 3-ketoacyl-ACP reductase (FabG), 3-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydratase (FabA), and enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI), are putatively shared between fatty acid and undecylprodigine biosynthesis, since the corresponding genes are not present within the red gene cluster of S. coelicolor. RedP is proposed to initiate biosynthesis of undecylprodiginine alkane chain by condensing an acetyl-CoA with a malonyl-RedQ, in contrast to FabH which process a broad range of acyl-CoA with malonyl-FabC. The 3-keto group of the resulting 3-ketoacyl-RedQ is then reduced to provide butyryl-RedQ, presumably by the type II FAS enzymes FabG, FabA and FabI. These enzymes would not differentiate between straight and branched-chain substrates, and have equal preference for FabC and RedQ ACPs. RedR would then catalyze four subsequent elongation steps with malonyl-RedQ, with appropriate 3-keto group processing after each step. The proposed role and substrate specificities of condensing enzymes RedP and FabH have not been investigated in S. coelicolor. The genes encoding FabG, FabA, and FabI have not been characterized in Streptomyces. Analysis of the S. coelicolor genome sequence has revealed the presence of one fabI gene (SCO1814, encoding an enoyl-ACP reductase), and three likely fabG genes (SCO1815, SCO1345, and SCO1346, encoding β-ketoacyl-ACP reductase). In the current study the substrates specificities of both RedP and FabH were determined from assays using pairings of two acyl-CoA substrates (acetyl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA) and two malonyl-ACP substrates (malonyl-RedQ and malonyl-FabC) (FabC is a dedicated ACP for fatty acid biosynthesis and RedQ for undecylprodiginine biosynthesis in S. coelicolor). For RedP, activity was only observed with a pairing of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-RedQ. No activity was observed with isobutyryl-CoA consistent with the proposed role for RedP and the observation that acetyl CoA-derived prodiginines predominate in S. coelicolor. Malonyl-FabC is not a substrate for RedP, indicating that ACP specificity is one of the factors that permit a separation between prodiginine and fatty acid biosynthetic processes. In contrast to RedP, FabH was active with all pairings but demonstrated the greatest catalytic efficiency with isobutyryl-CoA using malonyl-FabC. Lower catalytic efficiency was observed using an acetyl-CoA and malonyl-FabC pairing consistent with the observation that in streptomycetes, a broad mixture of fatty acids are biosynthesized, with those derived from branched chain acyl-CoA starter units predominating. Diminished but demonstrable FabH activity was also observed using malonyl-RedQ, with the same preference for isobutyryl-CoA over acetyl-CoA, completing biochemical and genetic evidence that in the absence of RedP this enzyme can also play a role in prodiginine biosynthesis, producing branched alkyl chain prodiginines. The identification and characterization of both enzymes FabG and FabI was also carried out. A series of straight and branched-chain β-ketoacyl and enoyl substrates tethered to either NAC or ACP were synthesized and used to elucidate the functional role and substrate specificity of these enzymes. Kinetic analysis demonstrates that of the three S. coelicolor enzymes, SCO1815 and SCO1345 have NADPH-dependent β-ketoacyl-reductase activity, in contrast to SCO1346, which has NADH-dependent β-ketoacyl-reductase activity. Spectrophotometric assays revealed that all three FabGs are capable of utilizing both straight and branched-chain β-ketoacyl-NAC substrates. These results are consistent with FabGs role in fatty acid and undecylprodiginine biosynthesis, wherein it processes branched-chain for primary metabolism as well as straight-chain products for undecylprodiginine biosynthesis. LC/MS assays demonstrate that these FabG enzymes do not discriminate between primary metabolism ACP (FabC) and secondary metabolism ACP (RedQ) (except for SCO1345, which does not have any activity with RedQ). This relaxed substrate specificity allows these enzymes to process 3-ketoacyl-FabC substrates for fatty acid biosynthesis as well as 3-ketoacyl-RedQ substrates for undecylprodiginine biosynthesis. Similar to FabG, spectrophotometric and LC/MS assays were also carried out to elucidate the functional role and substrate specificity of S. coelicolor FabI. The kinetic analyses demonstrate that SCO1814 has NADH-dependent enoyl-ACP reductase activity. Spectrophotometric and LC/MS assays demonstrated that FabI does not differentiate between straight and branched-chain substrates, and has equal preference for FabC and RedQ ACPs. These observations provide experimental support for the hypothesis that these enzymes are shared and process the intermediates in the elongation cycle of both fatty acid and undecylprodiginine biosynthesis. In summary, these studies have demonstrated the activity of enzymes RedP, FabH, FabG and FabI (InhA) previously uncharacterized in S. coelicolor and clarified their role in fatty acid and undecylprodiginine biosynthesis.

Full text
Abstract:
Vitamin E exhibits anti-tumor activity by regulating pathways in cancer cells, potentially the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway. We studied the effects of alpha tocopherol (AT), gamma tocopherol (GT), gamma tocotrienol (GT3), and an alpha-gamma tocopherol mixture (ATGT) on the production of the LOX metabolites 13-hydroxyoctadecaenoic acid (HODE), 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), 12-HETE, and 5-HETE in colorectal cancer. These metabolites were examined in the HCT-116 cell line after 24 h treatment with select vitamin E isoforms and quantified by LC/MS/MS. Under physiological conditions, we find that treatment with varying vitamin E isoforms have different effects on the production of 13-HODE, 15-HETE, 12-HETE, and 5-HETE. GT increases 13-HODE and decreases 12-HETE. AT reverses the effects of GT regulation on the LOX pathway, while GT3 has no significant effect on the metabolites tested. GT shows superiority in regulating the LOX pathway as it increases 13-HODE and decreases 12-HETE for possible prevention of colorectal cancer.

Abstract:
Triheptanoin, the triglyceride of heptanoate (C7 fatty acid), is a novel treatment that is being used to treat patients with rare genetic metabolic disorders. When taken orally, triheptanoin is hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract to heptanoate, which is thought to diffuse into the blood and body. Heptanoate and its liver ketone metabolites are then metabolized within cells to propionyl-CoA, which after carboxylation produces succinyl-CoA, resulting in anaplerosis—the refilling of a deficient tricarboxylic acid cycle. Here, data are summarized and discussed in relation to triheptanoin’s anticonvulsant effects in rodent seizure models. Biochemical data reveal that metabolic alterations found in brains of rodent seizure models can be restored by triheptanoin. Moreover, there are increasing preclinical and clinical studies indicating that triheptanoin is beneficial in other neurological and neuromuscular disorders, which are summarized here. Thus, triheptanoin seems to be a promising treatment for a variety of clinical conditions.

Abstract:
Abstract Plant lipids are classified as primary metabolites, and therefore essential for life. Unlike secondary metabolites, lipids are universally present in plants, articularly in their seeds, varying only in their abundance and chemical composition. All lipids are composed of a hydrocarbon skeleton with one or more oxygen (O) substitutes. Plant lipids are derived from the acetate pathway via molonyl CoA, a pathway that leads to fatty acids, polyketides, polyacetylenes, phospholipids, prostaglandins and alkylamides. The more complex lipids may contain elements such as phosphorus, nitrogen or sulfur. Tabulated data are given on selective list of fixed oils, lists of some of the main dietary sources of essential fatty acids, botanical sources of γ-linolenic acid, and medicinal plants containing isobutylamides.

Abstract:
Recently, algae have received considerable interest as one of the most promising feedstocks suitable for animal feed production due to their fast growth, less nutrient requirements and their ability to produce primary and secondary metabolites with high-added value. Different strategies were applied to improve both biomass and metabolites productivities aiming to produce highquality biomass with low cost and high nutritional value. Tetraselmis subcoliformis QUCCCM50, a local marine green alga presenting fast growth, high metabolites content and easy to harvest, was selected as a candidate for feed production. Three different stress conditions were applied to enhance its potential to produce high-value products such as Nitrogen or Phosphorus depletion and high salinity of 100ppt. An assessment of the growth properties and biomass productivity was performed during the growth. After 15 days of cultivation using tubular photobioreactors, the biomass was subjected to metabolites characterization and fatty acids methyl ester profiling. Results showed that the three stress conditions present different impacts on biomass productivity and, lipid quantity and quality. Cultivation under 100 ppt led to the highest increase in lipid content. This culture condition led to 25% increase of the omega-3 fatty acids with the appearance of the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and a remarkable increase of the alpha-linolenic acid, comparatively to the control. The enrichment of the Tetraselmis subcoliformis’ biomass in terms of omega-3 fatty acids enhance its nutritional value and make it very suitable for animal feed production. The optimized culture conditions obtained from the current study will be applied at large scale to enhance the quality of the biomass towards omega-3 enriched animal feed supplement production, and hence support achieving food security in the State of Qatar.

Abstract:
Recently, endothelial cells (ECs) have been shown to generate a potent vascular chemorepellant factor. This metabolite, 13-HOD is reported to be the major lipoxygenase product produced in microgram amounts in ECs (JBC 260:16056, 1985). We have studied the effect of 13-HOD on EC arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism, and report modulation of both AA release and conversion to prostacyclin. Using fetal bovine aortic ECs, 13-HOD stimulated prostacyclin production (RIA for 6KPGF1α ) by 40±13% (1SE), and 51±09% at 10 and 30μM (P<0.05; n=5). When the time-course of this effect was evaluated, 13-HOD (30μM) significantly enhanced the time-dependent release of 6KPGF1α by 31 to 51% between 5 and 120 min. (P<0.05 to 0.01; n=5). In [14C]AA labeled cells, this compound modulated both AA release and its subsequent conversion. In 5 paired experiments, 13-HOD (30μM) enhanced the release of AA from membrane phospholipids (9065±0553 cpm/well in controls vs 10738±1725 in 13-HOD treated cells; PC0.01). Analysis of cellular phospholipids revealed a significant decrease in [14C]phosphatidylethanolamine (62312±3963 cpm/well in controls vs 56959±4104 in 13-HOD treated cells; P<0.02). No significant changes were seen in the levels of phosphatidyl-choline, -serine, -inositol, or phosphatidic acid. Production of [14C]prostacyclin was stimulated by 56±16% (P<0.01 ), while total cyclooxygenase metabolites increased by 28±8% (P<0.01), suggesting effects on both cyclooxygenase and prostacyclin synthetase. 13-HOD, the major vascular product of linoleic acid enhances both AA release and metabolism, thus demonstrating an intimate hemostatic interaction between the metabolic products of these two polyunsaturated fatty acids in endothelial cells.

Abstract:
Inhibitors of phoapholipaae A2, block the release of arachidonic acid (20:4) in the cell membrane. Adding such an inhibitor, dibromoacetophenone (20µM) to hepar-inized blood incubated with LPS for 2 hours, blocked totally the induction of thromboplastin synthesis. Liposomes prepared from soyalecithin, containing 60* linoleic acid (18:2) had no stimulatory effect by themselves, but enhanced the stimulating effect of LPS up to 10 fold. When the liposomes were added to the blood samples 0,15,30,60 and 90 min after the LPS had been added, a time dependent response of the liposomes was seen. Blood samples incubated with LPS for 2 hours but only exposed to liposomes for 30 min had monocytes with a thromboplastin activity of 30x10/10-3cells as compared to an activity of 152x10 /10-3 cells in the monocytes of blood incubated with LPS and liposomes for 2 hours. Although the linoleic acid (18:2) is metabolized to arachidonic acid (20:4), it may be more likely that the effect of liposomes is exerted by a mechanism whereby the fatty acid 18:2 is preventing arachidonic acid from being reacylated. This will cause more 20:4 to be free and metabolized to give products required for monocyte activation.A tremendous difference in response to monocyte stimulation between different individuals has been observed. Recently we found that this phenomenon could partially be explained by very active platelets in those with high cell stimuli response. Thus, when platelet rich plasma (PRP) from a high responder was incubated with white cells from a low responder followed by incubation with LPS, there was a drastic increase in monocyte response as compared to the samples where PRP from the low responder was incubated with white cells of its own plus LPS. PRP from a low responder combined with white cells of a high responder resulted in a low response of the monocytes to LPS stimuli.It is concluded that fatty acids and the activity function of platelets may play a central role in monocyte function.

Abstract:
Aquaculture is considered as a promising alternative to support the food demands of the everincreasing population. Currently, this sector faces several challenges such as using fishmeal, which is unsustainable and expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to identify an alternative feed component that is sustainable, cost-effective and can provide the essential nutrients required by the fish. In this context, microalgae are considered as a viable source of proteins, lipids, polysaccharides and highvalue products (HVPs) such as essential fatty acids, amino acids and vitamins. They play a vital role in the marine food chain and hence can be easily assimilated by the fish. The current research targeted the isolation, identification and characterization of novel marine microalgae from Qatar coastline to produce aquaculture feed supplement. As the climate poses a number of stress factors, such as high light intensities, temperatures and varying salinities, it is expected that novel microalgae with interesting metabolite profiles can be isolated from the environment for developing aquaculture sector in Qatar. Standard plating methods were used to isolate halophilic strains from field waters. PCR-sequencing was used to identify the novel microalgae, cyanobacteria and diatom isolates. Then a comparative analysis of the growth performance and metabolite content was performed to characterize these strains. Results evidenced that the cyanobacteria strain exhibited the highest biomass productivity of 51.4 mg L-1day-1 whereas the highest lipid content was observed in the novel diatom isolate ranging up to 28.62% and the highest amount of carotenoids was detected in the case of the microalgae. As in conclusion, a rich feed supplement blending the three isolates can be considered as an alternative to fishmeal. As a continuation of this research, the potential strains will be cultivated under various stress to increase their nutritional value.

Abstract:
Leukocytes appear to be important in the pathophysiology of atherogenesis. Fish oil derived, omega-3 fatty acids suppress atherogenesis in experimental atherosclerosis models and select human populations. We assessed the effect of dietary cod liver oil (CLO) supplementation for 6 weeks on human monocyte and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) inflammatory potential in healthy controls and patients with a purported autoimmune disorder, multiple sclerosis (MS) in whom monocytes appear to be chronically activated. Baseline and 6 week venous blood samples were obtained from 6 stable MS patients and 6 healthy controls. . Monocyte hydrogen peroxide (HO) production (pMoles/minute/Ix10 monocytes) was measured in a spectrophotofluorometer after stimulation with latex particles. Baseline H2O2 production was 1.551.60 (mean 1 S.D.) in the MS patients and 1.19± .49 in the controls. Post-CLO the values were 1.021.24 and 1.091.27 respectively, representing a significant decline with CLO supplementation in the MS group (P< .01). PMN chemiluminescence (counts x10 /5min/PMN) levels was assessed by a liquid scintillation counter after stimulation with latex particles. Baseline levels were 17.416.1 in the MS group and 17.814.8 in the controls Post-CLO the levels were 12.812.3 and 12.313.3; both signifi-antly lower than baseline (P < .05). PMN superoxide (0 —) levels (nMoles/20min/lxl0 PMN) were measured by the reduction of cyto-chrome-c after stimulation with zymosan. Baseline O2- levels were 21.0±5.8 in the MS group and 22.115.9 in the controls. Post-CLO the O2- levels declined to 8.210.7 and 7.811.5, both significantly lower than baseline (P< .O2-). These data demonstrate that CLO supplementation reduces the intensity of PMN and monocyte reactions to a standard stimulus as measured by toxic oxygen metabolite production, although the monocyte effects were only observed in a population (MS) with increased baseline activity levels.It has previously been assumed that omega-3 fatty acids might exert antiatherogenic effects via their inhibitory effects on platelet reactions. If leukocytes are important mediators of endothelial damage and/or cholesterol deposition in arterial walls, then our data suggest another mechanism by which fish oil may confer benefit in reducing the risk of arterial disease.

Abstract:
There is currently a great deal of interest in the diagnosis and treatment of unstable angina and silent ischemia.Many feel that these syndromes are due, in part, to periodic accumulation of platelet thrombi which subsequently embolize.In addition, anti-piatelet therapy is also considered necessary for patients after coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG'S), balloon angioplasty, and thrombolysis. Currently the two antiplatelet agents most commonly prescribed for the patient conditions mentioned above are aspirin (ASA), alone or in combination with dipyridamole (Dip). ASA reduces cardiac events in patients with unstable angina, and prolongs CABG graft patency. The addition of Dip to ASA therapy is very confusing since most studies done compared ASA + Dip to placebo. In several studies however,when an ASA group was compared to an ASA + Dip group there was no significant difference.We have developed and will describe ananimal model of coronary artery stenosis in the dog and the pig, or carotid arterystenosis in the monkey and the rabbit, with intimal damage, that simulates some ofthe conditions that exist in patients with coronary or carotid artery disease. The artery to be studied is dissected outand blood flow is continuously measured with an electromagnetic flowmeter probe. As acute platelet thrombus formation (APTF) developes in the stenosed lumen, the blood flow declines to low levels, producing ischemia until the thrombus emobolizesdistally resulting in abrupt restoration of blood flow. These cyclical flow reductions (CFR's), when they occur in the coronaries, produce ECG changes identical to those observed in patients with silent ischemia and unstable angina. They also produce significant transient regional dyskinesis of the ventricular wall, which resolves when blood flow is restored. Histologic examination of myocardial tissue in the bed distal to the stenosis shows focal areas of ischemic change presumably caused by the embolized platelet emboli.We have examined factors which exacerbate the size and frequency of these CFR"ssuch as; IV infusion of epinephrine (E) 0.4 μg/kg/min for 15 min, ventilating the animals with cigarette smoke, infusing nicotine IV, or placing chewing tobacco under the tongue.We have examined four groups of agentswhich prevent APTF in our model.1. Antiplatelet agents including ASA, indomethacin, ibuprofen and several other NSAI agentsas well as several experimental thromboxane synthetase inhibitors. These agents all block the production of TXA2and inhibit APTF in our model. Unfortunately the IV infusion of E reinstates APTtemporarily (by another biochemical pathway) until the E is metabolized. High (2-4 mg/kg) doses of Dip, alone or with sub threshold dose of ASA does nothing to I APTF.However,0.6mg/kg of chi orpromaz i ne abolishes APTF in all four species and protects agents renewal of APTF by E.2. Dietary Substances In our model, caffeine 10 mg/kg, or the extract from two garlic cloves, or enough ethanol to achieve a blood alcohol level of 0.07 mg% all significantly inhibit or abolish APTF in our model.3. Metabolic Inhibitors POCA, an oral hypoglycemic agent, which inhibits mitochondrial beta oxidation of fatty acids also inhibits APTF in our model possibly by reducing ATP production in the platelet.4. We have studied a monoclonal antibody(developed by Dr. Barry Coller) to the platelet I Ib�I I la glycoprotein receptor where fibrinogen binds platelets into aggregates and ultimately leads to APTF. This antibody 0.3 mg/kg/completely inhibits APTF, and also strongly inhibits in vitro platelet aggregation in response to either ADP or collagen given alone or each combined with E. This antibody is the most potent inhibitor of APTF that we have studied.
