We have investigated the albumin-stimulated release from cultured rat hepatocytes of lysophosphatidylcholine derived from methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine and of lysophosphatidylethanolamine. In the absence [corrected] of albumin, neither lysophosphatidylethanolamine nor lysophosphatidylcholine was released into the culture medium. Albumin stimulated the accumulation of both phospholipids in the medium. After 2 h, 14.1 nmol of lysophosphatidylcholine and 2.0 nmol of lysophosphatidylethanolamine per 3 x 10(6) cells had accumulated in the medium. The rate of release of [3H]ethanolamine-labelled lysophosphatidylethanolamine was rapid in the first 2 h and then was decreased, whereas there was a 1 h lag in the release of [3H]ethanolamine-labelled lysophosphatidylcholine. This apparent lag probably reflected the time necessary for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine from phosphatidylethanolamine in the cells. Albumin caused a decrease in labelled cellular lysophosphatidylethanolamine and lysophosphatidylcholine which only partially accounted for the accumulation of the labelled phospholipids in the medium. Albumin also stimulated the release of labelled phosphatidylethanolamine (almost 3-fold) and phosphatidylcholine (2-fold) into the medium. There was no detectable change in the labelling of the cellular pools of these phospholipids, most likely owing to the large amounts in the cells compared with the medium. The labelled lysophospholipids did not arise from catabolism of the parent phospholipid in the medium. Analysis of the fatty acids of the secreted lysophospholipids showed a preferential release of unsaturated fatty acyl species of lysophosphatidylcholine, whereas lysophosphatidylethanolamine contained similar amounts of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

Evidence is presented for the operation of an ethanolamine-phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) cycle in Chinese hamster ovary cells. PtdEtn was labelled with [3H]ethanolamine and radioactivity was chased by incubation with 1 mM unlabelled ethanolamine. Radioactivity in [3H]PtdEtn gradually declined over a 23 h time period. In contrast, when the cells were incubated in medium lacking unlabelled ethanolamine, radioactivity in PtdEtn remained constant for at least 23 h. These observations suggest that the ethanolamine moiety is continuously released from PtdEtn and recycled back into PtdEtn. In cells incubated without unlabelled ethanolamine, labelled ethanolamine released from PtdEtn is re-incorporated into PtdEtn without significant dilution. In contrast, in cells incubated with unlabelled ethanolamine the specific radioactivity of the intracellular ethanolamine pool decreases as a result of dilution by the exogenous ethanolamine, hence radioactivity in PtdEtn gradually declines. Similar results were obtained for confluent and non-confluent cells. Our data also demonstrate that when PtdEtn is derived from phosphatidylserine decarboxylation, the ethanolamine cycle operates only in actively dividing, and not in confluent, cells, implying that PtdEtn derived from different biosynthetic origins [i.e. from decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine or from ethanolamine (most likely via the CDP-ethanolamine pathway)] is metabolized differently.

Egg yolk phospholipids, on a 10 g scale, were resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography on an 8-m silica column with elution by a stepwise chloroform–methanol gradient into homogenous phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and lysophosphatidylethanolamine fractions. Within these fractions, partial resolution on the basis of fatty acyl side chain composition was achieved.
