Abstract
Lipids and bioactive lipid mediators are essential for platelet function. The lipid profile of platelets is highly dynamic due to free exchange of lipids with the plasma, release of extracellular vesicles, and both enzymatic and nonenzymatic lipid conversion. The lipidome of platelets changes in response to activation to accommodate the functional requirements of platelets, particularly for maintenance of hemostasis. Furthermore, when stored at room temperature as a component for transfusion, the lipid profile of platelets is altered. Although there is a growing interest in alternate storage conditions, such as refrigeration and cryopreservation, few contemporary studies have examined the impact of these storage modes on the lipid profile. However, evidence exists that bioactive lipid mediators produced over the storage of blood products may have functional implications once these products are transfused. As such, there is a need to determine the changes occurring to the lipid profile of these products over storage. This review outlines the role of lipids in platelets and discusses the current state of lipidomics for studying platelet components for transfusion in an effort to highlight the necessity for additional transfusion-focused investigations.

Alterations in the transfer of phospholipids from very-low density lipoproteins to activated platelets in type 2 diabetes. Atherosclerosis 2008; 203:119-25. [PMID: 18619595 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2008.05.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2008] [Revised: 05/21/2008] [Accepted: 05/21/2008] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a situation at high cardiovascular risk, characterized by platelet hyperactivation, oxidative stress, elevated very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low high-density lipoprotein concentrations. In the present report, we describe the effects of these alterations on the transfers of phospholipids (PL) from VLDL to platelets in basal conditions or after thrombin (0.1U/mL) or lipoprotein lipase (LPL, 500ng/mL)-mediated platelet activation. In vitro transfer of radiolabelled PL from VLDL (200microM PL) to platelets (2x10(8)/mL) was measured after incubations of 1h at 37 degrees C in a series of recombination experiments using control or diabetic platelets and VLDL, as well as normal or oxidized PL. Basal- and thrombin-stimulated transfers from diabetic VLDL were similar to those from control VLDL. However, LPL-stimulated transfer was decreased when using diabetic VLDL. This was likely due to their lowered ability to be lipolyzed. When we compared the platelets from either diabetic patients or control subjects, we observed that the transfers of PL from control VLDL to diabetic platelets were 20-30% higher than those to control platelets, whether in basal conditions or under LPL or thrombin stimulations. Finally, we observed that, in all conditions tested, the rate of transfers of oxidized PL was two to three times more elevated than that of non oxidized PL. Collective consideration of these data suggests that the transfer of PL from VLDL to platelets might be elevated in type 2 diabetes, favoring oxidative stress-mediated platelet hyperactivation.

Abstract
We have studied the uptake and metabolism of phosphatidylcholine (PC), the major phospholipid of low density lipoproteins (LDL), by cultures of primary hepatocytes. Strikingly, in the absence of the LDL receptor, PC incorporation into hepatocytes was inhibited by only 30%, whereas cholesteryl ether uptake was inhibited by 60-70%. On the other hand, scavenger receptor class B, type I, the other important receptor for LDL in the liver, was found to be responsible for the uptake of the remaining 30-40% of LDL-cholesteryl ether. PC uptake was, however, only partially inhibited (30%) in scavenger receptor class B, type I, knock-out hepatocytes. Once LDL-PC was taken up by hepatocytes, approximately 50% of LDL-[(3)H]oleate-PC was converted to triacylglycerol rather than degraded in lysosomes as occurs for LDL-derived cholesteryl esters. The remainder of the LDL-derived PC was not significantly metabolized to other products. Triacylglycerol synthesis from LDL-PC requires a PC-phospholipase C activity as demonstrated by inhibition with the phospholipase C inhibitor D609 or activation with rattlesnake venom. Small interfering RNA-mediated suppression of acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2), but not DGAT1, decreased the acylation of the LDL-derived diacylglycerol. These findings show that PC in LDL particles is taken up not only by the classical receptors but also by additional mechanism(s) followed by metabolism that is completely different from the cholesteryl esters or apoB100, the other main components of LDL.

Abstract
The CDP-ethanolamine branch of the Kennedy pathway is the major route for the formation of ethanolamine-derived phospholipids, including diacyl phosphatidylethanolamine and alkenylacyl phosphatidylethanolamine derivatives, known as plasmalogens. Ethanolamine phospholipids are essential structural components of the cell membranes and play regulatory roles in cell division, cell signaling, activation, autophagy, and phagocytosis. The physiological importance of plasmalogens has not been not fully elucidated, although they are known for their antioxidant properties and deficiencies in a number of inherited peroxisomal disorders. This review highlights important aspects of ethanolamine phospholipid metabolism and reports current molecular information on 1 of the regulatory enzymes in their synthesis, CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase (Pcyt2). Pcyt2 is encoded by a single, nonredundant gene in animal species that could be alternatively spliced into 2 potential protein products. We describe properties of the mouse and human Pcyt2 genes and their regulatory promoters and provide molecular evidence for the existence of 2 distinct Pcyt2 proteins. The goal is to obtain more insight into Pcyt2 catalytic function and regulation to facilitate a better understanding of the production of ethanolamine phospholipids via the CDP-ethanolamine branch of the Kennedy pathway.

Abstract
We previously reported that VLDL could transfer phospholipids (PLs) to activated platelets. To identify the metabolic pathway involved in this process, the transfer of radiolabeled PLs from VLDL (200 microM PL) to platelets (2 x 10(8)/ml) was measured after incubations of 1 h at 37 degrees C, with or without thrombin (0.1 U/ml) or LPL (500 ng/ml), in the presence of various inhibitors, including aspirin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor (300 microM); esculetin, a 12-lipoxygenase inhibitor (20 microM); methyl-arachidonyl-fluorophosphonate (MAFP), a phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) inhibitor (100 microM); 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetrakis (acetoxymethyl) ester (BAPTA-AM), a Ca(2+) chelator (20 microM); bromoenol lactone (BEL), a Ca(2+)- independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)) inhibitor (100 nM); and 1-[6-[[17beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl-]amino]hexyl]1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122), a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor (20 microM). Aspirin and esculetin had no effect, showing that PL transfer was not dependent upon cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase pathways. The transfer of PL was inhibited by MAFP, U73122, and BAPTA-AM. Although MAFP inhibited both cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and iPLA(2), only cPLA(2) is a calcium-dependent enzyme. Because calcium mobilization is favored by PLC and inhibited by BAPTA-AM, the transfer of PL from VLDL to platelets appeared to result from a cPLA(2)-dependent process. The inhibition of iPLA(2) by BEL had no effect on PL transfers.

Abstract
The CDP-ethanolamine pathway is responsible for the de novo biosynthesis of ethanolamine phospholipids, where CDP-ethanolamine is coupled with diacylglycerols to form phosphatidylethanolamine. We have disrupted the mouse gene encoding CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase, Pcyt2, the main regulatory enzyme in this pathway. Intercrossings of Pcyt2(+/-) animals resulted in small litter sizes and unexpected Mendelian frequencies, with no null mice genotyped. The Pcyt2(-/-) embryos die after implantation, prior to embryonic day 8.5. Examination of mRNA expression, protein content, and enzyme activity in Pcyt2(+/-) animals revealed the anticipated 50% decrease due to the gene dosage effect but rather a 20 to 35% decrease. [(14)C]ethanolamine radiolabeling of hepatocytes, liver, heart, and brain corroborated Pcyt2 gene expression and activity data and showed a decreased rate of phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis in heterozygotes. Total phospholipid content was maintained in Pcyt2(+/-) tissues; however, this was not due to compensatory increases in the decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine. These results establish the necessity of Pcyt2 for murine development and demonstrate that a single Pcyt2 allele in heterozygotes can maintain phospholipid homeostasis.

Abstract
It has long been known that the oxidative state of the various plasma lipoproteins modulates platelet aggregability, thereby contributing to atherogenesis. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), occurring in vivo both in the native and oxidised forms, interacts directly with platelets, by binding to specific receptors. While the identity of the receptors for native LDL and some subfractions of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) remains disputed, apoE-containing HDL(2) binds to LRP8. The nature of these interactions as well as the distinction between candidate receptor proteins was elucidated using covalently modified apolipoproteins, which pointed to the participation of apolipoproteins in high affinity binding. However, the platelet effects initiated by binding of native lipoproteins remain controversial. Some of this ambiguity can be traced to the fact that native LDL inevitably undergoes substantial oxidisation upon modification, including by radiolabelling. The platelet-activating effects provoked by oxidised LDL are irrefutable, but many details remain unknown. The role of CD36 in platelet binding by oxidised LDL is well established, although additional receptors may exist. Much less is known about the interaction of oxidised HDL with platelets, since platelet activation was observed in some, but not all studies. Various frequently applied in vitro oxidation methods produce modified lipoprotein species that may not be relevant in vivo. Based on the reported modifications obtained by in vitro oxidation of LDL, early investigations focused mainly on the formation and the eventual effects of oxidised lipids. More recently, alterations to lipoproteins performed using hypochloric acid and myeloperoxidase redirected the attention to the role of modified apoproteins in triggering platelet responses.

Abstract
LDL-associated phospholipids (PLs) may be transferred into platelets. In this work, we characterized the role of VLDLs as PL donors. VLDL transferred radiolabeled PLs to platelets in a temperature- and concentration-dependent manner. LPL stimulated this process through its action on VLDL lipolysis, because it was abolished by tetrahydrolipstatin. LPL also stimulated the platelet production of thromboxane B2 (TXB2). Both LPL actions were inhibited in the presence of fatty acid-free albumin, suggesting that they were attributable to fatty acids generated during VLDL lipolysis. To study the relationship between PL transfers and platelet activation, we performed incubations in the presence of HDL, a physiological acceptor of PL released from VLDL. HDL antagonized the transfer of PL from VLDL to platelets but had no effect on the production of TXB2, suggesting that PL transfers were driven by platelet activation. Confirming this idea, thrombin stimulated both the production of TXB2 and the transfers of PL. In conclusion, VLDL can transfer PL to platelets. These transfers are stimulated by LPL and thrombin through their action on platelet activation. They might be enhanced in pathologies characterized by increased VLDL concentrations.
