Lysophospholipids (lysoPL) are the most likely candidates for the ligands because decreased HUFA under EFA deficiency may shift the equilibrium of phospholipid deacylation/reacylation cycle toward accumulation of lysoPL. To test the hypothesis, first we used computer simulation to estimate affinity between lysoPL and PPARalpha. The model predicted lysoPL binding with high affinity. Next, binding affinity of lysoPL to PPARalpha was measured in vitro using a fluorescent ligand displacement assay. The dissociation constants (Kd) of lysoPL were low nanomolar suggesting that they are potent ligands for PPARalpha. Finally, when CV-1 cells were treated with lysoPL, a reporter plasmid with PPARalpha response elements was induced.
