The acyl group composition of the phospholipids from normal chick embryo fibroblasts and from cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus was determined by gas-liquid chromatography. Rous-transformed cells had less arachidonate (20:4) and more oleate (18:1) in membrane lipids than normal, growing cells.
Rat type II alveolar epithelial cells are known to undergo morphological and functional changes when maintained in culture for several days. Having previously demonstrated that these cells can deacylate free arachidonic acid (AA) and metabolize it to products of the cyclooxygenase pathway, the
Arachidonic acid (C20:4) metabolites were released constitutively from wild-type Rous sarcoma virus-transformed chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF). 3H-labeled C20:4 and its metabolites were released from unstimulated and uninfected CEF only in response to stimuli such as serum, phorbol ester, or the
Fatty acid uptake and metabolism are often dysregulated in cancer cells. Fatty acid activation is a critical step that allows these biomolecules to enter cellular metabolic pathways such as mitochondrial β-oxidation for ATP generation or the lipogenic routes that generate bioactive lipids such as
Topographical distribution of concanavalin A binding sites (CABS) was studied in two lines of virally transformed fibroblasts as a function of fatty acid composition. Fatty acid composition was manipulated by incubating cells in fatty acid, ATP, CoA, and delipidated fetal calf serum (FCS). VLM cells
