Abstrakt: The fatty acid pattern of phosphatidylinositol and other inositol phospholipids is reported to be predominantly 1-stearoyl, 2-arachidonyl. However, literature does not report data about the effect of a modification of this fatty acid composition on the production and acidic pattern of the diacylglycerol (DAG) formed during phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Culturing cardiomyocytes in a docosahexaenoic acid supplemented medium, we obtained an homogeneous cell population whose phospholipid fatty acid pattern was strongly different from control cells, and which produced, after α1-adrenergic stimulation with phenylephrine, an higher amount of DAG. This DAG was different from control DAG in fatty acid composition, too. This structurally different DAG could be responsible for a different activation pattern of protein kinase C.
