Activatable cholesterol esterase and triacylglycerol lipase of rat adrenal were 58-69% recovered in the 100 000 X g supernatant fraction. Activatable triacylglycerol lipase activity was differentiated from the activity of acid lipase and lipoprotein lipase also found in this fraction. Cholesterol esterase was activated 39.7 +/- 13.6% (S.D.) and triacylglycerol lipase 11.9 +/- 2.9% in a reaction dependent on ATP, cyclic AMP, and protein kinase. The two activities were shown by differential inhibition by an organophosphate, and by partial separation on salting out, to be largely due to separate enzymes. The two enzymes bound tightly to substrate emulsions with quantitatively similar distribution between competing emulsions, suggesting concerted binding. Coinciding gel filtration patterns reinforced, The hypothesis of a lipase complex. Cholesterol esterase comprised a major component of higher apparent Km for substrate and molecular weight 3-10(5)-6-10(5) by gel filtration and a minor component of lower apparent Km and heterogeneous molecular weight above 1 million, which was found mostly in complex and lipid.

A tri-, di-, and monoacylglycerol-hydrolyzing enzyme from rat adipose tissue has been detergent-solubilized and separated from monoacylglycerol lipase (H. Tornqvist and P. Belfrage, 1976, J. Biol. Chem. 251, 813-819) and lipoprotein lipase by use of ion-exchange chromatography, broad and narrow pH range electrofocusing and gel chromatography. The final preparation contained several different proteins. One of these, with an apparent minimum molecular weight of 86,000 by SDS-gel electrophoresis, was identified as the enzyme protein of hormone-sensitive lipase: a) the enzyme activity was reproducibly stimulated 50-100% by incubation with cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, cyclic AMP and ATP-Mg2+; b) the relative intensity of the Mw 86,000 protein band, and only this, closely paralleled the enzyme activity during narrow pH range electrofocusing and during subsequent gel chromatography of the electrofocusing enzyme peak fraction; c) only the Mw 86,000 protein extensively incorporated 32p from [gamma-32P]ATP after incubation with protein kinase and cyclic AMP. The pI of the enzyme was 6.7, it had the same Stokes radius on Sephadex G 200 as IgG and was 50% inactivated by 10 micron HgCl2, 20 micron PCMB, 50 micron DFP, 10 mM NaF and non-ionic detergents above their critical micellar concentration.

Forskolin (7 beta-acetoxy-8, 13-epoxy-1 alpha,6 beta,9 alpha-trihydroxy-labd-14-ene-11-one) induced both cyclic AMP production and lipolysis in intact fat cells, but stimulated lipolysis without increasing cyclic AMP at a concentration of 10(-5) M. Homogenization of fat cells elicited lipolysis without elevation of cyclic AMP. Forskolin did not stimulate lipolysis in the homogenate. Forskolin stimulated both cyclic AMP production and lipolysis in a cell-free system consisting of endogenous lipid droplets and a lipoprotein lipase-free lipase fraction prepared from fat cells. However, at a concentration of 10(-6) M, it induced lipolysis without increase in the cyclic AMP content in this cell-free system. In the cell-free system, homogenization of the lipid droplets resulted in marked increase in lipolysis to almost the same level as that with 10(-4) M forskolin without concomitant increase in cyclic AMP. Addition of forskolin to a cell-free system consisting of homogenized lipid droplets and lipase did not stimulate lipolysis further. Phosphodiesterase activities were found to be almost the same both in the presence and absence of forskolin in these reaction mixtures. Although 10(-3) M forskolin produced maximal concentrations of cyclic AMP: 6.7 x 10(-7) M in fat cells and 2.7 x 10(-7) M in the cell-free system, 10(-4) M cyclic AMP did not stimulate lipolysis in the cell-free system. In a cell-free system consisting of lipid droplets and the lipase, pyrophosphate inhibited forskolin-induced cyclic AMP production, but decreased forskolin-mediated lipolysis only slightly. Based on these results, mechanism of lipolytic action of forskolin was discussed.

Regulation of lipoprotein lipase was studied in mesenchymal rat heart-cell cultures. Treatment of the cultures with dibutyryl cyclic AMP or with cholera toxin resulted in an increase in LPL activity and a comparable increase in LPL mRNA. When the cells were exposed to 100 mM Hepes for 24 h, total enzyme activity rose 2-fold and LPL mRNA increased 2.4-fold. After 72 h, there was a 3-fold increase in LPL mRNA and a 4-fold rise in cellular LPL activity, while medium activity increased 20-fold. Exposure of the cultures to heparin for 24 h resulted in a 3.2-fold increase in total activity and a 36-fold increase in medium activity. This increase was not accompanied by any rise in LPL mRNA. Addition of actinomycin D to control dishes for 24 h resulted in a 33% reduction in LPL mRNA and a 43% reduction in enzyme activity. These values were 71% and 56%, respectively, in Hepes-treated cells, indicating that no stabilization of LPL mRNA occurred under these conditions. It can be concluded that in mesenchymal rat heart-cells in culture cAMP and cholera toxin upregulate lipoprotein lipase at the level of transcription. The increase in LPL activity after 24 h exposure to Hepes could be compatible with transcriptional regulation, while exposure to heparin is not accompanied by a change in LPL mRNA.

Vanadate increased lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in the isolated fat pads in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The increasing effect of vanadate was inhibited by amiloride, similar to that of insulin, and it also was not additive to that of insulin. Although the increasing effects of vanadate and insulin were preserved in K(+)-free medium, appreciable decreases in both effects were observed by replacement of Na+ with choline ion or omission of Ca2+ in the medium. Vanadate showed the full effect in the presence of cycloheximide at concentrations that inhibited protein synthesis of the fat pads, suggesting that the action of vanadate is not due to the increase in protein synthesis. Tetrakis (acetoxymethyl) ester of quin 2 at 50 microM concentration never inhibited the action of vanadate though it showed a little inhibition at a concentration of 300 microM. No inhibition of the action of vanadate was observed with ruthenium red. These results suggest that vanadate increases the LPL activity via a process less sensitive to the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Adrenaline, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine all inhibited the action of vanadate, suggesting that the action is inhibited with increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP. Monensin and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone inhibited the action of vanadate. In contrast, the action of insulin was never inhibited by monensin. Tunicamycin and 2-deoxyglucose, at rather high concentrations, inhibited both actions. These findings suggest that vanadate increases the LPL activity through mechanisms of action involving amiloride- and monensin-sensitive pathways dependent on energy.

The differentiation of adipose precursor cells can be divided into early and late events. Growth arrest at the G1/S boundary triggers the activation of early genes, i.e., pOb24 and lipoprotein lipase; the expression of both genes is primarily regulated at a transcriptional level. The expression of late markers, which lead to terminal differentiation and accumulation of neutral lipids, takes place after a limited number of mitoses of early-marker-expressing cells. Only terminal differentiation requires the presence of growth hormone and triiodothyronine as obligatory hormones and insulin as a modulating hormone, and results in the formation of triacylglycerol-filled, non-dividing cells. It appears that terminal differentiation involves the cyclic AMP pathway, the diacylglycerol pathway, and a third pathway triggered by insulinlike growth factor-I and insulin. It is thus proposed that a combination of mitogenic-adipogenic signals is required to trigger terminal differentiation of preadipose cells.

The regulation of the secretion of lipoprotein lipase was studied in primary cultures of mouse peritoneal macrophages and in the murine macrophage cell line J774. As previously reported, both cell types secrete a lipase with the characteristics of lipoprotein lipase. Incubation of macrophages with insulin, insulin-like growth factor, and L-thyroxine had no effect on lipoprotein lipase secretion. Incubation with dexamethasone and with several agents which increase intracellular cyclic AMP led to a decrease in lipoprotein lipase secretion by mouse peritoneal macrophages. These results suggest that the hormonal regulation of lipoprotein lipase in macrophages is different from that in adipose tissue and heart muscle. Incubation of the macrophages with heparin caused a marked increase in the secretion of lipoprotein lipase. Short incubations with heparin (5 min) caused a release of the enzyme into the media, while longer incubations caused a 2-8-fold increase in net lipoprotein lipase secretion which was maximal after 2-16 h depending on cell type, and persisted for 24 h. The effect of heparin was dose-dependent and specific (it was not duplicated by other glycosaminoglycans). The mechanism of heparin-induced increase in lipoprotein lipase secretion was explored. The increase was not caused by the release of a presynthesized intracellular pool of lipoprotein lipase or by the stabilization of lipoprotein lipase by heparin after secretion. The heparin-induced increase in lipoprotein lipase secretion was dependent on protein synthesis. The secretion of lipoprotein lipase by macrophages in response to low levels of heparin may be a significant factor in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a cytokine which is produced by mononuclear phagocytes upon activation by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and various other stimuli. In immune-mediated glomerulonephritis, infiltration of glomeruli by monocytes-macrophages is associated with production of TNF. The purpose of the present experiments was to determine whether mesangial cells could also contribute to glomerular TNF synthesis. TNF activity has been determined in the culture medium of rat mesangial cells using a L-929 fibroblast lytic assay. This activity was detectable only when the cells were exposed to LPS (0.1 to 10 micrograms/ml) and for periods longer than one hour. The cytotoxic factor was identified as TNF since: (1) the lytic activity was completely inhibited by an anti-mouse TNF polyclonal antibody and was associated with suppression of lipoprotein lipase activity in adipocytes; (2) its molecular weight (110,000 daltons) corresponded to that observed for murine TNF under non-denaturing conditions; and (3) mRNA encoding TNF was expressed by mesangial cells two hours after addition of LPS. To assess the mechanisms whereby TNF production was regulated, the role of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was determined. LPS caused a dose-dependent increase of PGE2 synthesis by mesangial cells. Treatment by indomethacin promoted a suppression of PGE2 production together with an increase of TNF synthesis, indicating that PGE2 acted in a negative feedback manner to regulate the production of TNF. Addition of PGE2 (0.1 to 300 nM) or 8-bromo cyclic AMP (0.1 to 100 microM) induced similar dose-dependent reductions of TNF synthesis. Thus the inhibitory effect of PGE2 probably required in part cyclic AMP accumulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Epinephrine was used to activate the heparin non-releasable lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in the 3 skeletal muscle fiber types of the perfused rat hindlimb. Following a 9 min washout of the capillary-bound lipoprotein lipase, the hindquarter of the rat was perfused with a buffer containing 10 nM of epinephrine. Activity of the residual LPL in soleus, red vastus lateralis, and white vastus lateralis muscles increased 75%, 96%, and 102% respectively, following epinephrine perfusion. These results suggest that skeletal muscle LPL is under hormonal control possibly through protein phosphorylation by cyclic AMP dependent protein kinase.

The effect of dibutyryl cyclic AMP and theophylline on lipoprotein lipase secretion was investigated after a 24 h pretreatment of human monocyte-derived macrophages. Both the effectors decreased in a dose-dependent manner the enzyme activity recovered in the culture medium. The decrease in lipoprotein lipase activity appeared to be related to reduced enzyme synthesis without apparent modification of its stability and half-life and was conversely associated with an increase of lysosomal acid hydrolase activities. This effect was reversible on removal of the nucleotide. The present findings suggest that cyclic AMP may play a role in lipoprotein lipase expression in human macrophages and therefore may participate in the regulation of lipoprotein uptake by these cells, which are strongly implicated in the atherogenic process.
