General description

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is a polar lipid, localized to the cell membranes of oxidized lipoproteins.

Application

13:0 Lyso LPC or 1-tridecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine has been used as an internal standard in:
  • lipid extraction from brain tissues
  • lipid extraction from macrophages using modified Bligh and Dyer protocol
  • liquid chromatography/MS analyses of lysophospholipids

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is known to be a bioactive molecule, associated with the progression of atherosclerosis, with findings of high concentration of LPC in the lesions/plaques. Higher levels of LPC are also found in oxidatively damaged low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) indicating cardiovascular disease. LPC is involved in various biological processes such as vascular reproduction, development and myelination. It is also known to be implicated in neuronal diseases and cancer.

Changes in glycerophosphocholine metabolism are observed in Alzheimer's disease; however, it is not known whether these metabolic disruptions are linked to cognitive decline. Here, using unbiased lipidomic approaches and direct biochemical assessments, we profiled Land's cycle lipid remodeling in the

Phospholipase A2s generate lipid mediators that constitute an important component of the integrated response of macrophages to stimuli of the innate immune response. Because these cells contain multiple phospholipase A2 forms, the challenge is to elucidate the roles that each
