The subcellular distributions of acidic (pH 4.5) and neutral (pH 7.5) longchain triacylglycerol lipases (glycerol ester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) of pig liver have been determined. The distribution of the acidic lipase closely paralleled that of the lysosomal marker enzyme, cathepsin D. Approx. 60% of the neutral lipolytic activity resided in the soluble fraction;the distribution of this activity failed to parallel that of marker enzymes for mitochondria, lysosomes, microsomes, or plasma membranes. A method has been developed for purification of the neutral lipase from the soluble fraction by ultracentrifugation. An approximate 90-fold purification was achieved, with recovery of 16% of the initial activity. The partially purified neutral lipase exhibited a pH optimum between 7.25 and 7.5. It required 30 mM emulsified triolein for optimal activity and ceased to liberate fatty acids after 30 min of incubation. The enzymatic activity was destroyed by heating at 60 degrees C. Neutral lipase was inhibited by sodium deoxycholate, Triton X-100 and iodoacetamide. The activity was not inhibited by sodium taurocholate, EDTA, heparin and diethyl-p-nitrophenyl phosphate. Neutral lipase failed to exhibit activity in assay systems specific for lipoprotein lipase, monoolein hydrolase, tributyrinase, and methyl butyrate esterase and showed little or no capacity to hydrolyze chyle chylomicrons or plasma very low density lipoproteins. It is suggested that the function of neutral lipase may be to supply the liver with fatty acids liberated from endogenously synthesized or stored triacylglycerols.

Analysis of plasma lipids of 30- and 185-day-old BIO 82.62 myopathic hamsters and age-matched normal controls revealed a decrease in only the concentration of cholesteryl esters of 185-day-old diseased animals. Measurement of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in heart, muscle, and adipose tissue showed no difference between the activity of the enzyme in the heart and muscle of the cardiomyopathic hamsters and that of the age-matched controls. In adipose tissue, however, LPL activity was depressed in the diseased animals in both age groups. No difference was found in the activity of hormone sensitive lipase. Incorporation of sn[U-14C] glycerol-3-phosphate into total lipids was found to be depressed in homogenates of heart, muscle, and adipose tissue but unchanged in liver homogenates of diseased animals. It was concluded that the decrease in the capacity to synthesize glycerides, rather than limiting substrate concentrations, could be the cause of the decrease in the lipid content in some tissues of the cardiomyopathic hamster.

A series of cyclic imides, which possess a bulkier N-ring structure than phthalimide and saccharin, were shown to suppress LDL receptor binding, internalization and degradation of isolated rat hepatocytes, foam cells, human fibroblasts and mouse macrophages. The HDL receptor binding and internalization was accelerated in hepatocytes but not in other tissue types. In general, the HDL receptor activity and degradation was reduced by the cyclic imides. The in vivo studies with selected cyclic imides supported this finding in that 125I-LDL was not cleared from serum as rapidly as the control after 14 days of treatment, whereas 125I-HDL was cleared more rapidly by treated rats. The tissue uptake of 125I-LDL amd 125I-HDL was generally reduced in the treated rat tissues after 14 days dosing. These agents did not suppress HMG-CoA reductase activity in any of the tissue cell lines. A correlation existed between lower LDL receptor activity and stimulated HMG-CoA reductase activity in cells. The cyclic imides suppressed the activities of acyl-CoA cholesterol-acyltransferase, sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyl transferase, and heparin-induced tissue lipoprotein lipase. Neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase activity and protein synthesis were markedly stimulated by the cyclic imides in the aorta foam cells, but not the other cell types.

The lipogenic capacity of omental adipose tissue and liver was measured in vitro from samples obtained at slaughter from 33 young male goats. The animals were slaughtered either on the day of weaning (d 0) or 2, 14, or 56 d after weaning. Ages at weaning were 4 wk (early weaning) or 6 or 8 wk (late weaning). Blood samples from the jugular vein were taken before slaughter to measure the concentrations of plasma glucose and nonesterified fatty acids. There was a 30% decrease in glucose concentration after weaning. Nonesterified fatty acid concentration increased fourfold between d 0 and 2 after weaning. By d 14 after weaning, nonesterified fatty acids returned to basal concentration. The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity of adipose tissue declined markedly (90%) on d 2 after weaning. Lipoprotein lipase activity returned to preweaning values by d 56 after weaning in those goats that had ad libitum access to feed. In adipose tissue, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)-malate dehydrogenase activity fell by only 17% by d 2 after weaning and to 63% by d 14 after weaning. Lipoprotein lipase activity was closely related to metabolizable energy intake the day before slaughter. Acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase activity was low in adipose tissue and it increased only slightly by d 56 after weaning. The data indicated that LPL played a preponderant role in the restoration of lipid stores after weaning. High NADP-malate dehydrogenase activity together with a high concentration of plasma glucose by d 56 after weaning suggested that this enzyme activity could be enhanced by high glucose availability in goat kids. Activities of lipase, acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase, NADP-malate dehydrogenase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in liver were essentially unaffected by weaning. The extent and rapidity of change of lipogenic enzymes of goat kids was much more pronounced in adipose tissue than in liver.

In pancreatic islets the bulk of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) activity was cytosolic. The soluble enzyme was activated by submicromolar concentrations of Ca2+, independent of calmodulin. It was unaffected by glucose and a series of glycolytic intermediates, including glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. These observations lend support to the hypothesis that glucose-stimulated inositol triphosphate production in islets may be secondary to and provoked by glucose-mediated Ca2+ influx. All four pyridine nucleotides stimulated PI-PLC. Phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis was also stimulated by dioleine and arachidonic acid, and by the polyamines, putrescine and spermine. Phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis was inhibited by chlorpromazine, tetracaine, ATP, 5'-AMP, inorganic pyrophosphate and by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine--but not affected by phosphatidylethanolamine. The cyclic nucleotides, cAMP and cGMP had no effect on the enzyme, and GTP-gamma-S did not activate the enzyme event at very low Ca2+ concentrations. The diglyceride lipase inhibitor, RHC 80267, and the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin, had no effect on PI-PLC activity.

In this study, metabolic changes of several adipose depots as caused by aging were investigated. Key enzyme activity of glutaminolysis, pentose-phosphate pathway and Krebs cycle were measured. The rates of lipogenesis from 3H2O, lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and rate of lipolysis in vitro were also determined. The results obtained indicate a reduced capacity for lipogenesis in several adipose depots by aging. The authors concluded that hypertrophy of adipose tissue reported during aging is possible due to increased LPL activity and reduced rate of lipolysis.

1. We have investigated the modification of catecholamine efflux and inositol phosphate formation in cultured adrenal chromaffin cells by tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) and inhibitors of diacylglycerol kinase (R 59,022) and diacylglycerol lipase (RG 80267), the two principal pathways of diacylglycerol metabolism. 2. TPA (1 nM to 1 microM) elicited a slow, calcium-dependent, sustained release of noradrenaline, which was partially blocked by the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (-)-202,791 and potentiated by the channel enhancer (+)-202,791. 3. R 59,022 enhanced noradrenaline efflux at 30 and 50 microM, while the lipase inhibitor RG 80267 failed to elicit release. 4. Neither R 59,022 nor RG 80267 affected bradykinin- or histamine-stimulated release, but both drugs substantially attenuated nicotine- and high K(+)-stimulated release. 5. Pretreatment for 10 min with TPA (but not the relatively inactive 4-methoxy TPA) or the non-phorbol protein kinase C stimulator mezerein potently inhibited bradykinin- and histamine-stimulated accumulation of total [3H]-inositol phosphate; inhibition of [3H]-inositol phosphate formation was also seen with 24 h TPA treatment. 6. Neither R 59,022 nor RG 80267, separately or together, affected bradykinin-stimulated [3H]-inositol phosphate formation. 7. Thus while the mechanism exists for inhibition of formation of inositol phosphates by stimulation of protein kinase C, these studies failed to show that this mechanism is activated by agonists acting on phospholipase C linked receptors.

The effects of (human recombinant) tumor necrosis factor-alpha on phosphatidylinositol breakdown, release of 1,2-diacylglycerols, mobilization of arachidonate from diacylglycerol and prostaglandin synthesis were examined in a model osteoblast cell line (MC3T3-E1). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (10 nM) caused a specific (30%) decrease in the mass of phosphatidylinositol (and no other phospholipids) within 30 min of exposure. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha doubled the rate of incorporation of [32P]orthophosphoric acid into phosphatidylinositol, indicating that the turnover of inositol phosphate was enhanced, and increased the content of diacylglycerol in parallel with phosphatidylinositol breakdown. The cytokine (10-50 nM; 4 h) also promoted a specific release of 24-34% of the [3H]arachidonate from prelabeled phosphatidylinositol, a release of 80% of the 3H-fatty acid from the diacylglycerol pool, and a 30-fold increase in the synthesis of prostaglandin E2. The tumor necrosis factor-alpha induced liberation of [3H]arachidonate from diacylglycerol, cellular arachidonate release and the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 were each blocked by an inhibitor of diacylglycerol lipase, the compound RHC 80267 (30 microM). Therefore, we conclude that, in the MC3T3-E1 cell line, tumor necrosis factor-alpha activates a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (phosphatidylinositol inositolphosphohydrolase; EC 3.1.4.3) to release diacylglycerol, and increases the metabolism of diacylglycerol to liberate arachidonate for prostaglandin synthesis.

We showed that the synthesis and secretion of type IV collagen, entactin, and laminin were enhanced when adipose conversion of 3T3-L1 cells at confluence was stimulated by hormones (Y. Aratani and Y. Kitagawa (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 16163-16169). Ascorbic acid phosphate (Asc-P) stimulated the synthesis and secretion of type IV collagen and other collagens from both 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and adipocytes. The synthesis and secretion of laminin and entactin were not affected by Asc-P. The continuous addition of Asc-P stimulated cell growth and increased cell density at confluence 1.3-fold. Concomitantly, Asc-P remarkably accelerated the emergence of lipoprotein lipase, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, and Oil Red O-stainable lipid droplets. These findings suggest an important role for type IV collagen in adipocyte differentiation.

The influence of training on fatty acid and glyceride synthesis by liver and adipose tissue homogenates of young and old Fischer-344 rats was examined. Four groups of rats (10 animals/group) were studied: young untrained, young trained, old untrained, and old trained. Training of each group was for 10 wk at 75% maximal O2 uptake. Young rats were killed at 6 mo of age and old rats were killed at 27 mo of age. Fatty acid synthesis was assessed by measuring the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthase, ATP citrate-lyase, "malic" enzyme, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Glyceride synthesis was evaluated by determining the rate of incorporation of [14C]glycerol 3-phosphate into lipids. In addition, lipoprotein lipase activity was measured in acetone-ether powders of adipose tissue from the four groups of rats. In liver, training had no effect on fatty acid or glyceride synthesis in either group. However, aging caused a significant decrease in the activities of four of the lipogenic enzymes but had no effect on glyceride synthesis. Training caused an increase in fatty acid synthase and glyceride synthesis in adipose tissue, and aging decreased lipoprotein lipase activity. It was concluded that training enhances the synthetic capacity of lipids by adipose tissue but that aging had a more profound effect in that the activities of the enzymes involved in these processes were lower in the old rats. Furthermore, the decreased activity of lipoprotein lipase in the older rats may explain the higher plasma triglyceride levels that were observed in these animals.
