title: [The role of the collagen tripeptide fragment GER in the adhesion activation and modification of fatty acid composition in membrane phospholipids of CHO-K1 cells].
abstract: It has been found that multiply repeated tripeptide fragment GER (Gly-Glu-Arg) from different collagen types stimulates nonspecific adhesion of CHO-K1 cells. Activation of cell adhesion is accompanied by modifications in fatty acid composition of cell membrane phospholipids. Cell incubation with the synthetic peptide increases the unsaturation indexes of phosphatidylcholin (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PEA) and phosphatidylinositol (PI). Arachidonic (C20:4omega6) acid is mainly contributed to the increased unsaturation index of PI. In the case of PC and PEA not only arachidonic acid but also other unsaturated fatty acids: docosatetraenoic (C22:4omega6), docosapentaenoic (C22:5omega3) and docosahexaenoic (C22:6omega3) acids are implicated in the index increasing. Besides, the elevation of relative content of molecules with polyenoic fatty acids in the group of PI molecules is accompanied by decrease in monoenoic fatty acids caused mainly by decrease in the oleic (C18:1) acid level. The role of the investigated peptide: 1) in the activation of cell adhesion as a regulator of active or non active state of integrin receptors: 2) in the alterations of fatty acid composition in main classes of phospholipids as modulator of fluidity level in annular lipid zones around these adhesive molecules is discussed.
