Ether-linked glyceryl-phosphorylcholines (GPC) are potential precursors for paf-acether biosynthesis. We show that such phospholipids are present in rabbit platelets in sufficient amounts to insure lyso paf-acether and paf-acether formation. Indeed, upon stimulation, platelets formed lyso paf-acether and paf-acether in amounts representing 10% and 0.2% of the total amounts of ether-linked GPC. Following preincubation with [3H]paf-acether, ether-linked GPC labelled at position 1 of the glycerol were detected in platelets. They were hydrolysed, and gave birth to lyso paf-acether upon platelet activation. Platelet ether-linked GPC labelled at position 2 with [3H]arachidonic acid (AA) were also hydrolyzed under the same experimental conditions. These data indicate that in rabbit platelets these phospholipids are precursors for paf-acether and AA, two mediators of platelet activation.
醚连接的甘油磷酰胆碱(GPC)是血小板活化因子(PAF)生物合成的潜在前体。我们发现,此类磷脂在兔血小板中的含量足以确保溶血PAF和PAF的形成。事实上,受到刺激后,血小板形成的溶血PAF和PAF的量分别占醚连接GPC总量的10%和0.2%。用[3H]PAF预孵育后,在血小板中检测到甘油1位标记的醚连接GPC。它们被水解,并在血小板活化时产生溶血PAF。在相同实验条件下,用[3H]花生四烯酸(AA)标记甘油2位的血小板醚连接GPC也被水解。这些数据表明,在兔血小板中,这些磷脂是PAF和AA的前体,而PAF和AA是血小板活化的两种介质。
