This paper describes a rapid and simple method for measuring CMP-phosphatidate (CMP-PA; CDP-diacylglycerol), providing a novel assay for inositol phospholipid metabolism. Rat cerebral-cortical slices labelled with [14C]cytidine were incubated with the muscarinic cholinergic agonist carbachol in the presence of various concentrations of LiCl; 10 mM-LiCl greatly enhanced the carbachol-stimulated formation of [14C]CMP-PA over a 60 min incubation period. The potentiation by Li+ was concentration-dependent, with a maximal enhancement at 3 mM and half-maximal enhancement at 0.6 mM-LiCl. The enhancement by Li+ could be reversed by incubation with myo-inositol; a maximal effect was observed with 10 mM-inositol. A similar, though smaller, enhancement of CMP-PA concentrations in the presence of LiCl was observed in slices stimulated with noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine and K+. The results are discussed in relation to previously observed effects of Li+ on inositol phospholipid metabolism.
本文描述了一种快速简便的测量CMP-磷脂酸(CMP-PA;CDP-二酰基甘油)的方法,为肌醇磷脂代谢提供了一种新的检测方法。用[14C]胞苷标记的大鼠大脑皮质切片在不同浓度的LiCl存在下与毒蕈碱胆碱能激动剂卡巴胆碱一起孵育;在60分钟的孵育期内,10 mM-LiCl极大地增强了卡巴胆碱刺激的[14C]CMP-PA的形成。Li+的增强作用呈浓度依赖性,在3 mM时最大增强,在0.6 mM-LiCl时半最大增强。Li+的增强作用可通过与肌醇一起孵育而逆转;在10 mM-肌醇时观察到最大效果。在用去甲肾上腺素、5-羟色胺和K+刺激的切片中,在LiCl存在下也观察到了类似但较小的CMP-PA浓度增强。结合先前观察到的Li+对肌醇磷脂代谢的影响对结果进行了讨论。
