Extracts of acetone-ether powders of bovine thoracic aorta contain lipase activity which has an alkaline pH maximum (7.8-8.4) and is stimulated 4-10-fold by adding serum or isolated apolipoprotein-glutamate to the assay mixture. Serum activation is completely reversed by isolated apolipoprotein-serine or apolipoprotein-alanine. Lipolysis is strongly inhibited by NaCl (0.5 M) and protamine sulfate (1 mg/ml) and partially inhibited by heparin. Based on these characteristics, the lipase is identified as lipoprotein lipase.

Lipoprotein lipase activity has been found in the milks from severals species where it is assumed to result from leakage from the mammary gland into milk. The function of the enzyme in the gland is apparently to assist in the transfer of blood lipoprotein triacylglycerol fatty acids into milk triacylglycerols. Bovine skim milk is one of the richest sources of lipoprotein lipase and this enzyme has been purified extensively (7000 fold) by affinity chromatography. The lipase has a molecular weight of about 62000, is inhibited by protamine sulfate, 1.0 M sodium chloride, apolipoprotein C-I (apolipoprotein-serine), and apolipoprotein C-III (apolipoprotein-alanine). The enzyme is activated by apolipoprotein C-II (apolipoprotein-glutamic acid), serum, and by heparin to which it also binds. The lipase is highly specific for the primary esters of acylglycerols and exhibits a slight stereospecificity for the sn-1 ester in preference to the sn-3-ester. Bovine milk also has separate activity toward 1-monoacylglycerols. Human milk contains a serum stimulated lipoprotein lipase with many of the characteristics of the enzyme in bovine milk, as well as an enzyme stimulated by bile salts which resembles the sterol ester hydrolase of rat pancreatic juice. The assay, function, purification, characteristics, and substrate specificities of these enzyme are discussed.

Lipoprotein lipase was assayed in extracts of acetone-ether powders of rat skeletal muscles. Enzyme activity in soleus had typical characteristics of lipoprotein lipase in other tissues: inhibition by molar NaCl and protamine sulfate and activation by the human apolipoprotein, R-glutamic acid. Activity in muscles with predominantly red fibers (soleus, diaphragm, lateral head of gastrocnemius and anterior band of semitendinosus) was higher than in those with predominantly white fibers (body of gastrocnemius and posterior band of semitendinosus). No effect of a 24 hour fast upon enzyme activity was observed in ten skeletal muscles, but activity decreased substantially in four adipose tissue depots and increased slightly in heart muscle with fasting. Four minutes after intravenous injection of labeled lymph chylomicrons, skeletal muscles with predominantly red fibers incorporated several times more chylomicron triglyceride fatty acids than thos with predominantly white fibers. Estimated lipoprotein lipase activity in total skeletal muscle was about two-thirds that in total adipose tissue of rats fed ad libitum. After a 24 hour fast, total activity in skeletal muscle was about twice that in adipose tissue. These data suggest that a substantial fraction of lipoprotein lipase is in skeletal muscle of rats and that this tissue, especially its red fibers, is an important site of removal of triglycerides from the blood.

To test the hypothesis that hydrolysis of glycerophosphatides causes displacement of apolipoprotein C from very low density lipoprotein, we have studied the effects of a snake venom phospholipase A2 on very low density lipoprotein labeled with [125I]apoC, [3H]cholesterol, [14C]palmitate and [32P]phospholipids. In spite of hydrolysis of 97% of the phosphatidylcholine, only small amounts of labeled apoC and labeled cholesterol were displaced from the very low density lipoprotein. With purified lipoprotein lipase in contrast, 80-90% of the labeled apoC and cholesterol were removed from the lipoprotein. It is concluded that hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine does not cause an appreciable dissociation of apolipoprotein C from very low density lipoprotein.

The apparent microviscosity of intact rat plasma very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and post-lipolysis very low density lipoprotein was determined by fluorescence depolarization measurements and flurorescence decay measurements using 1, 6-diphenylhexatriene. Post-lipolysis very low density lipoprotein was prepared in vitro after incubation of the intact lipoprotein with either purified bovine milk lipoprotein lipase or lipoprotein lipase rich (post-heparin) plasma. During lipolysis, an average of 88% of the triglycerides were hydrolyzed, and the lipoprotein became depleted in phospholipids, cholesterol and apolipoprotein C. The apparent microviscosity of the lipoprotein increased by three-fold from 0.63 to 1.88 poise. It is concluded that the compositional changes occurring during lipolysis affect the physical properties of the lipoprotein, as measured here by the fluidity (microviscosity) of the particles.

The monolayer technique has been used to study the interaction of lipids with plasma apolipoproteins. Apolipoprotein C-II and C-III from human very low density lipoproteins, apolipoprotein A-I from human high density lipoproteins and arginine-rich protein from swine very low density lipoproteins were studied. The injection of each apoprotein underneath a monolayer of egg phosphatidy[14C]choline at 20 mN/m caused an increase in surface pressure to approximately 30 mN/m. With apolipoprotein C-II and apolipoprotein C-III there was a decrease in surface radioactivity indicating that the apoproteins were removing phospholipid from the interface; the removal of phospholipid was specific for apolipoprotein C-II and apolipoprotein C-III. Although there was a removal of phospholipid from the monolayer, the surface pressure remained constant and was due to the accumulation of apoprotein at the interface. The rate of surface radioactivity decrease was a function of protein concentration, required lipid in a fluid state and, of the lipids tested, was specific for phosphatidylcholine. Cholesterol and phosphatidylinositol were not removed from the interface. The addition of 33 mol% cholesterol to the phosphatidylcholine monolayer did not affect the removal of phospholipids by apolipoprotein C-III. The addition of phospholipid liposomes to the subphase greatly facilitated the apolipoprotein C-II-mediated removal of phospholipid from the interface. Although apolipoprotein A-I and arginine-rich protein gave surface pressure increases, phospholipid was only slightly removed fromthe interface by the addition of liposomes. Based on these findings, we conclude that the apolipoproteins C interact specifically with phosphatidylcholine at the interface. This interaction is important as it relates to the transfer of the apolipoproteins C and phospholipids from very low density lipoproteins to other plasma lipoproteins. The addition of human plasma high density lipoproteins or very low density lipoproteins to the subphase increased the apolipoprotein C-mediated removal of phosphatidyl[14C]choline from the interface 3--4 fold. Low density lipoproteins did not affect the rate of decrease. During lipolysis of very low density lipoproteins to the subphase increased the apolipoprotein C-mediated removal of with the lipid monolayer. Lipolysis experiments were performed in a monolayer trough containing a surface film of egg phosphatidyl[14C]choline and a subphase of very low density lipoproteins and bovine serum albumin. Lipolysis was initiated by the addition of purified milk lipoprotein lipase to the subphase. As a result of lipolysis, there was a decrease in surface radioactivity of phosphatidylcholine. The pre-addition of high density lipoproteins decreased the rate of decrease in surface radioactivity...

In this study we have determined the fate of phospholipids, cholesterol, and apolipoprotein C during lipolysis of rat plasma very low density lipoprotein (rat VLDL). The experiment was carried out in vitro with lipoprotein lipase purified from bovine milk, VLDL labeled with [(14)C]palmitate, [(3)H]cholesterol, [(32)P]phospholipids, and (125)I-labeled apolipoprotein C and in plasma-devoid systems. Triglyceride hydrolysis ranged between 0 and 98.6%. [(32)P]Phospholipids, unesterified [(3)H]cholesterol, and (125)I-labeled apolipoprotein C were removed from the VLDL (d < 1.019 g/ml) during lipolysis. About one-third of the [(32)P]phosphatidylcholine was hydrolyzed to lysolecithin, and was transferred to the fraction d > 1.21 g/ml. The other two-thirds of the phospholipids were removed unhydrolyzed, mainly to the fraction d 1.04-1.21 g/ml. With the progression of the lipolysis, unesterified [(3)H]cholesterol was removed from VLDL at increasing rates, predominantly to the fraction d 1.04-1.21 g/ml. (125)I-Labeled apolipoprotein C removed from the VLDL partitioned between the fraction of d 1.04-1.21 g/ml and d > 1.21 g/ml. Negative-staining electron microscopy of the fraction d 1.04-1.21 g/ml (containing phospholipids, unesterified cholesterol, and apolipoprotein C) revealed many discoidal lipoproteins. [(3)H]Cholesteryl esters remained associated with the VLDL even when 70-80% of the triglycerides were hydrolyzed. These observations suggest that during in vitro lipolysis of VLDL, surface constituents leave the lipoprotein concomitantly with the hydrolysis of core triglycerides. The process of removal of surface constituents is independent of the presence of an acceptor lipoprotein and may occur in the form of a surface-fragment particle. -Eisenberg, S., and T. Olivecrona.

A 59-year-old man with severe hypertriglyceridemia and no post-heparin lipolytic activity was studied because of a marked fall in plasma triglyceride concentrations after a blood transfusion. An apolipoprotein activator (apolipoprotein C-II) for lipoprotein lipase could not be detected by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of apoproteins, immunodiffusion of the plasma against anti-apolipoprotein CII or activation assays for lipoprotein lipase. Furthermore, the patient's triglyceride-rich lipoproteins would not serve as substrate for lipoprotein lipase. The patient had latent post-heparin lipolytic activity, which appeared after the addition of apolipoprotein CII to the post-heparin plasma. After a transfusion of 1 unit of plasma from a normal subject the patient's plasma triglycerides fell, within one day, from 1000 to 250 mg per deciliter and remained below preinfusion concentrations for six days. We conclude that this patient's hyperlipoproteinemia resulted from a deficiency of apolipoprotein C-II.

Two triacylglycerol lipase activities were characterized after partial purification from pig post-heparin plasma. These two lipase activities were eluted sequentially with a NaCl gradient from columns containing Sepharose with covalently linked heparin. The first lipase activity, which was eluted at 0.75M-NaCl, was not inhibited at 28 degrees C in the presence of 1M-NaCl and was not further activated by plasma apolipoproteins. The absence of this lipase activity from post-heparin plasma from hepatectomized pigs indicates that the liver plays a role in the synthesis of this enzyme. A second lipase activity, which was eluted at 1.2M-NaCl, was inhibited when assayed in the presence of 1.0M-NaCl and was activated 14-fold by an apolipoprotein isolated from human very-low-density lipoprotein. The characteristics are identical with those of lipoprotein lipase purified from pig adipose tissue.
