Lessig J, Schiller J, Arnhold J, Fuchs B: Hypochlorous acid-mediated generation of glycerophosphocholine from unsaturated plasmalogen glycerophosphocholine lipids. J Lipid Res. 2007 Jun;48(6):1316-24. Epub 2007 Mar 29.
The myeloperoxidase-derived metabolite hypochlorous acid (HOCl) promotes the selective cleavage of plasmalogens into chloro fatty aldehydes and 1-lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). The subsequent conversion of the initially generated LPC was investigated in plasmalogen samples in dependence on the fatty acid residue in the sn-2 position by matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and (31) P NMR spectroscopy. Plasmalogens containing an oleic acid residue in the sn-2 position are converted by moderate amounts of HOCl primarily to 1-lyso-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and at increased HOCl concentrations to the corresponding chlorohydrin species. In contrast, plasmalogens containing highly unsaturated docosahexaenoic acid yield upon HOCl treatment 1-lyso-2-docosahexaenoyl-glycerophosphocholine and glycerophosphocholine. The formation of the latter product denotes a novel pathway for the action of HOCl on plasmalogens. |
