| Abstract | Proliferation of an essential fatty acid deficient cell line from carp (EPC-EFAD; epithelioma papillosum carp-essential fatty acid deficient) is stimulated by supplementing the cells with C20, but not C18 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). It is hypothesized that the differential ability of the PUFA to stimulate proliferation of the EPC-EFAD cells may be related to the extent of the cells' ability to desaturate and elongate C18 PUFA. In the present study, the metabolism of 14C-labeled C18 and C20 PUFA was investigated in EPC-EFAD cells in comparison with normal EPC cells. The incorporation of all the PUFA was significantly greater in EPC-EFAD cells but the rank order, 20:5n-3 > 18:3n-3 = 18:2n-6 >20:4n-6 was the same in both cell lines. The proportion of radioactivity from all labeled PUFA recovered in phosphatidylethanolamine and total polar lipids was significantly lower in EPC-EFAD cells compared to EPC cells, whereas the proportion of radioactivity recovered in all the other phospholipid classes and total neutral lipid was greater in EPC-EFAD cells. Both cell lines desaturated[1-14C]18:3n-3 and [1-14C]20:5n-3 to a greater extent than the corresponding (n-6) substrates but the desaturation of all the 14 C-labeled PUFA was significantly greater in EPC-EFAD cells compared to EPC cells. The results showed that, although essential fatty acid deficiency had several significant effects on PUFA metabolism in EPC cells, the fatty acid desaturation/elongation pathway was not impaired in EPC-EFAD cells and so they can desaturate 18:3n-3 to 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3, and 18:2n-6 to 20:4n-6. However, 20:4n-3 and 20:3n-6, and not 20:4n-6 and 20:5n-3, were the predominant C20 PUFA produced by the elongation and desaturation of [1-14C]18:3n-3 and [1-14C]18:2n-6, respectively. Therefore, the previously reported inability of 18:3n-3 and 18:2n-6, compared to 20:5n-3 and 20:4n-6, to stimulate proliferation of the cells is apparently not due to a general deficiency in the fatty acid desaturation pathway in EPC-EFAD cells but may be related to potential differences in eicosanoid profiles in cells supplemented with C18 PUFA compared to C20 PUFA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
