RESUMO
Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1ß) induced platelet activating factor (PAF) synthesis in U-937 cells through stimulation of acetyl-CoA:lysoPAF-acetyltransferase (lyso PAF-AT) at 3 h and DTT-independentCDP-choline-1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol cholinophosphotransferase (PAF-CPT) at 0.5 h. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tyrosol (T), resveratrol (R) and their acetylated derivatives(AcDs) which exhibit enhanced bioavailability, on PAF synthesis in U-937 after IL-1ß stimulation. The specific activity of PAF enzymes and intracellular levels were measured in cell homogenates. T and R concentration capable of inducing 50% inhibition in IL-1ß effect on lyso PAF-AT was 48 µΜ ± 11 and 157 µΜ ± 77, for PAF-CPT 246 µΜ ± 61 and 294 µΜ ± 102, respectively. The same order of concentration was also observed on inhibiting PAF levels produced by IL-1ß. T was more potent inhibitor than R (p<0.05). AcDs of T retain parent compound inhibitory activity, while in the case of R only two AcDs retain the activity. The observed inhibitory effect by T,R and their AcDs, may partly explain their already reported beneficial role.

Interleukin-1beta (IL-1ß) is a potent agonist of platelet-activating factor (PAF) synthesis. The monocyte-derived PAF may amplify the inflammatory and thrombotic processes. The IL-1ß-induced enzymatic alterations leading to increased PAF synthesis are ill-defined. In the present study the last enzymatic activities of the remodeling (acetyl-CoA:lyso-PAF acetyltransferase) and de novo (DTT-insensitive CDP-choline:1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol cholinephosphotransferase) biosynthetic routes of PAF and its main catabolic enzyme, PAF acetylhydrolase, along with the intracellular and extracellular PAF levels were determined in homogenates and medium of U-937 after their stimulation with recombinant IL-1ß. IL-1ß at 2.5ng/mL induced an early (0.5-3h) and a late (12h) elevation of intracellular PAF levels (2-fold). Only a small portion of intracellular PAF (â¼10%) was released to the extracellular medium. IL-1ß increased lyso-PAF acetyltrasnferase activity which was peaked at 3h and kept elevated till 12h. A rapid 1.5-fold increase of cholinephosphotransferase activity was observed in IL-1ß stimulated cells. Finally, a transient stimulation of intracellular PAF-AH was induced by IL-1ß at 3h while incubation of U-937 with the PAF acetylhydrolase inhibitor pefabloc in the presence or absence of IL-1ß led to a strong sustained increase of intracellular PAF levels. In conclusion, both biosynthetic routes of PAF, along with its degradation can be modulated by IL-1ß in a time-specific manner. The inhibition of PAF acetylhydrolase strongly augments PAF's intracellular levels implying its crucial role for the regulation of cellular PAF. The regulation of PAF's enzymatic machinery under inflammatory conditions is more complicated than we thought to be.

Consumption of phenolic compounds is associated with beneficial effects in humans even though many of them are poorly absorbed. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro antioxidant activity of tyrosol (T), resveratrol (R) and their acetylated derivatives (AcD), as increased lipophilicity has been reported to improve absorption. The chemically synthesized AcDs were evaluated by their ability to scavenge DPPH radicals, inhibit non-enzymatic linoleic acid peroxidation, inhibit human serum oxidation in the presence of copper ions and inhibit lipoxygenase activity. T showed an inhibitory effect only in serum oxidation, where the T-acetylated at aromatic-OH was the most active. The T-acetylated at aliphatic-OH and 3,5-diacetyl-R exhibited the most powerful effect in non-enzymatic linoleic acid peroxidation with IC50 values 2.4 mM ± 0.21 and 0.055 mM ± 0.0018, respectively. In all other tests R was the most potent among all its AcD and T. Increasing lipophilicity by acetylation improves antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds in non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation assays.
