Enzymatically active, detergent-solubilized purified hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) was incorporated into phosphatidylcholine (PC) vesicles, using a detergent-dialysis procedure with small PC vesicles, obtained by sonication, as phospholipid source and CHAPS, a zwitterionic bile-salt derivative, as detergent. Association of enzyme protein with the PC vesicles was verified by floatation in a discontinuous dextran gradient and by gel chromatography. An average of 35% of added HSL was incorporated into the vesicles. The vesicles were shown, by quasi-elastic light scattering and electron microscopy, to have a diameter of approximately 160 nm. The vesicle-associated HSL could be phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The vesicles were stable, both with regard to enzyme activity and size, for at least 4 days when stored at 4 degrees C. The preparation of detergent-free, vesicle-associated and stable HSL provides new possibilities to study some of its properties, and supports and extends the previous report (Holm, C., Fredrikson, G., and Belfrage, P., J. Biol. Chem. 261, 15659-15661, 1986) which demonstrated the amphiphilic character of HSL.

The adrenergic regulation of lipolysis was studied, before and after 30 min of submaximal exercise, in isolated adipocytes removed from the abdominal and gluteal regions of healthy non-obese men and women. Noradrenaline-induced lipolysis was significantly enhanced in gluteal adipocytes from men but not in women after exercise. However, the pure beta-adrenergic responsiveness was equally increased in gluteal adipocytes of both sexes after exercise, as judged by the effect of isoprenaline. Furthermore, the alpha 2-adrenergic anti-lipolytic responsiveness was more apparent after exercise in females than in males thereby counter-balancing the increase in the beta-adrenergic effect in the gluteal region in the former. The increased beta-adrenergic responsiveness induced by exercise in gluteal adipocytes of males could be mimicked by agents acting at the levels of adenylate cyclase, coupling proteins, phosphodiesterase, and protein kinase and seems to be due to an adaptive enhancement at the hormone-sensitive-lipase level. There was no change in the stoichiometric properties of beta-adrenoceptors of gluteal adipocytes after exercise. Abdominal adipocytes of both sexes were four to five times more responsive to noradrenaline than gluteal ones. However, exercise induced no further enhancement of the catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis rate in fat cells from this site. Thus, the influence of exercise on catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis is regional and sex dependent. Men, but not women, have a greater ability to adapt lipolysis to increasing energy demands during exercise that are due to an acute increase in the effectiveness of the hormone-sensitive lipase complex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Neutral cholesterol esterase activity is expressed in extracts of mammary epithelial cells. The identity of the enzyme catalyzing this hydrolysis was investigated. Anti-hormone-sensitive lipase immunoglobulin elicited the total inhibition of this activity and also immunoprecipitated a single phosphoprotein of Mr 84 kDa from mammary cell extracts previously phosphorylated in vitro with [gamma-32P]ATP and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. It is concluded that mammary cell cholesterol esterase activity results from the presence of hormone-sensitive lipase.

Age-dependent alterations in the effects of catecholamines on lipolysis were investigated in 25 young (21-35 yr) and 10 elderly (58-72 yr) healthy, nonobese subjects using isolated adipocytes obtained from abdominal subcutaneous tissue. Basal lipolysis was not affected by aging, while the rate of catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis was reduced by 50% in the elderly subjects (P less than 0.005). To elucidate the mechanisms behind this phenomenon lipolysis was stimulated with agents that act at well-defined steps in the lipolytic cascade, from the receptor down to the final step: the activation of the protein kinase/hormone-sensitive lipase complex. All agents stimulated lipolysis at a 50% lower rate in elderly as compared with young subjects (P less than 0.05 or less). However, half-maximum effective concentrations of the lipolytic agents were similar in both groups. The antilipolytic effects of alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonists were also the same in young and old subjects. Moreover, the stoichiometric properties of the beta- and alpha 2-receptors did not change with increasing age. In vivo studies performed on the same individuals likewise demonstrated an impaired lipolytic responsiveness, with 50% lower plasma glycerol concentrations during exercise in the elderly subjects (P less than 0.05), in spite of a normal rise in plasma norepinephrine. The plasma glycerol levels correlated strongly to the glycerol release caused by catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis in vitro in both young and elderly subjects (r = 0.8-0.9, P less than 0.001). In conclusion, a decreased activation of the hormone-sensitive lipase complex appears to be the mechanism underlying a blunted lipolytic response of fat cells to catecholamine stimulation in elderly subjects. This finding may, explain the age-dependent decreased lipolytic response to exercise in vivo.

Phosphorylation site 2 on bovine hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), which is phosphorylated in vitro by the AMP-activated protein kinase, has been found also to be phosphorylated in vitro by glycogen synthase kinase-4. Peptide mapping of HSL phosphorylated in vitro and in isolated adipocytes demonstrates that this site corresponds to the basal phosphorylation site on HSL, which is phosphorylated in intact adipocytes in the absence of lipolytic stimuli. Site 2 has been proposed to have an antilipolytic role in that phosphorylation at this site greatly reduces subsequent phosphorylation (at site 1) and activation of HSL by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. Further evidence for an antilipolytic role of site 2 has been obtained using a synthetic peptide based on the sequence around sites 1 and 2. Phosphorylation of the peptide at site 2 totally prevents the subsequent phosphorylation of site 1 and vice versa.

Hormone-sensitive lipase is phosphorylated at a single site (site 2) in vitro by the AMP-activated protein kinase, without any direct effect on the activity of the enzyme. The amino acid sequence around this site has been determined. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II also phosphorylates hormone-sensitive lipase predominantly at this site, whilst cyclic-GMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates exclusively the regulatory site (site 1) which is also phosphorylated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation of site 2 has been found to inhibit subsequent phosphorylation and activation of hormone-sensitive lipase by the cyclic-AMP-dependent and cyclic-GMP-dependent protein kinases, indicating that site-2 phosphorylation may have an antilipolytic role in vivo.

Anti-hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) immunoglobulin selectively immunoprecipitates a single 84 kDa 32P-phosphoprotein from macrophage homogenates previously phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP-Mg. This immunoglobulin also completely removes the neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase activity from macrophage homogenates. These data demonstrate that HSL is responsible for the neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase activity in macrophages and hence plays a key role in cholesterol metabolism in these cells.

The mRNA for human hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) was identified using Northern blot analysis and a cDNA-probe for rat HSL. As in the rat, human adipose tissue expresses a single mRNA species of 3.3 kb. Using Western blotting with a polyclonal rabbit antibody towards rat adipose tissue HSL, the corresponding enzyme in human adipose tissue was identified with an apparent 88 kDa polypeptide, thus slightly larger than the rat and bovine 84 kDa, and the mouse and guinea-pig 82 kDa species. Additional evidence for the identification was provided by the inhibition of HSL diacylglycerol lipase activity by the anti-rat HSL antibody, and by NaF, DFP and Hg2+, known inhibitors of HSL. The concentration of the enzyme, as reflected by its activity per g tissue and the specific activity was about two thirds of that in the rat adipose tissue (200 g rats). The identification of the human enzyme protein made it possible to directly demonstrate its phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, thus extending the previous report regarding activation of the lipase with this kinase and ATP-Mg2+ in human adipose tissue extracts (Khoo, J.C., Aquino, A.A. and Steinberg, D. (1974) J. Clin. Invest. 53, 1124-1131).

In addition to acetyl-CoA carboxylase and HMG-CoA reductase, the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates glycogen synthase, phosphorylase kinase, hormone-sensitive lipase and casein. A number of other substrates for the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, e.g., L-pyruvate kinase and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, are not phosphorylated at significant rates. Examination of the sites phosphorylated on acetyl-CoA carboxylase, hormone-sensitive lipase, glycogen synthase and phosphorylase kinase suggests a consensus recognition sequence in which the serine residue phosphorylated by the AMP-activated protein kinase has a hydrophobic residue on the N-terminal side (i.e., at -1) and at least one arginine residue at -2, -3 or -4. Substrates for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase which lack the hydrophobic residue at -1 are not substrates for the AMP-activated protein kinase.

The effect of insulin on the state of phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase, cellular cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity and lipolysis was investigated in isolated adipocytes. Increased phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase in response to isoproterenol stimulation was closely paralleled by increased lipolysis. Maximal phosphorylation and lipolysis was obtained when the cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity ratio was greater than or equal to 0.1, and this corresponded to a 50% increase in the state of phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase. Insulin (1 nM) reduced cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity and also reduced lipolysis with both cAMP-dependent and cAMP-independent antilipolytic effects up to an activity ratio of approximately 0.4, above which the antilipolytic effect was lost. Insulin caused a decrease in the state of phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase at all levels of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Under basal conditions, with cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity at a minimum, this reflected a dephosphorylation of the basal phosphorylation site of hormone-sensitive lipase in a manner not mediated by cAMP. When the cAMP-dependent protein kinase was stimulated to phosphorylate the regulatory phosphorylation site of hormone-sensitive lipase, the insulin-induced dephosphorylation occurred both at the basal and regulatory sites. At low levels of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity ratios (0.05-0.1), dephosphorylation of the regulatory site correlated with reduced cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity, but not at higher activity ratios (greater than 0.1). Stimulation of cells with isoproterenol produced a transient (1-5 min) peak of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity and of phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase. The state of phosphorylation also showed a transient peak when the protein kinase was maximally and constantly activated. In the presence of raised levels of cellular cAMP, insulin (1 nM) caused a rapid (t1/2 approximately 1 min) dephosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase. In unstimulated cells the reduction in phosphorylation caused by insulin was distinctly slower (t1/2 approximately 5 min). These findings are interpreted to suggest that insulin affects the state of phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase and lipolysis through a cAMP-dependent pathway, involving reduction of cAMP, and through a cAMP-independent pathway, involving activation of a protein phosphatase activity that dephosphorylates both the regulatory and basal phosphorylation sites of hormone-sensitive lipase.
