ABSTRACT
Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 1 (PNPLA1) is crucial in the esterification of linoleic acid (LA; 182n-6) to ω-hydroxy fatty acids (FA) of ceramide 1 (Cer1), the major barrier lipid of the differentiated epidermis. We previously reported that γ-linolenic acid (GLA; 183n-6) as well as LA is esterified to Cer1 subspecies with sphingosine (d181) or eicosasphingosine (d201) amide-linked to two different ω-hydroxy FA (30wh0; 32wh1). Here, we further investigated whether PNPLA1 is also responsible for esterification of GLA to these Cer1 subspecies in normal human keratinocytes (NHK). As late/terminal differentiation was induced in NHK, PNPLA1 and differentiation markers were expressed, and LA-esterified Cer1 subspecies (182n-6/C30wh0 or C32wh0/d181; 182n-6/C32wh0/d201) were detected, which were further increased with LA treatment. GLA-esterified Cer1 subspecies (183n-6/C30wh0 or C32wh0/d181; 183n-6/C32wh0/d201) were detected only with GLA treatment. Specific small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of PNPLA1 (KDP) in differentiated NHK decreased levels of these LA-esterified Cer1 subspecies overall and of involucrin (IVL), a terminal differentiation marker. Moreover, KDP resulted in lesser LA/GLA responses as characterized by more significant decreases in IVL and LA/GLA-esterified Cer1 subspecies overall and an accumulation of non-esterified ω-hydroxy ceramides, their putative precursors; the decrease of 183n-6/C32wh0/d181, the predominant GLA-esterified Cer1 subspecies, specifically paralleled the increase of C32wh0/d181, its corresponding precursor. PNPLA1 is responsible for NHK terminal differentiation and also for esterification of GLA to the ω-hydroxy FA of Cer1.
