1-Peptidyl-2-arachidonoyl-3-stearoyl-sn-glyceride: An Immunologically Active Lipopeptide from Goat Serum (Capra hircus) Is an Endogenous Damage-Associated Molecular Pattern

[摘要]：Experiments were undertaken to isolate a component of the serum of goat (Capra hircus) that is effective at mediating an innate immune response. This report describes the isolation and structure elucidation of 1-(N-acetyl-ALYDKGYTSKEQKDCVGI)-2-arachidonoyl-3-stearoyl glyceride (1) and its immunomodulatory activity. A dose-response relationship for inflammatory cytokine and chemokine production and release from human fibroblasts incubated with nanomolar concentrations of 1 was shown. Moreover, the membrane transport role of the diacylglycerol moiety in 1 is demonstrated with nanomolar quantities of the transfected N-acetyl peptide moiety of 1 also inducing inflammatory cytokine and chemokine production and release. The apparent EC99 for 1 was 3 ng/mL (1 nM). The likely biological role for naturally occurring 1 as a damage-associated molecular pattern is postulated.
