Hormone-sensitive lipase and cholesterol ester hydrolase of chicken adipose tissue were markedly activated by adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (on the average, 235 to 275%; occasionally as much as 1000%). Diglyceride and monoglyceride hydrolases were also activated, but to a lesser extent (60 to 87%). The activation of all four hydrolases was inhibited by protein kinase inhibitor and reversed by the addition of exogenous protein kinase. Following activation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, all four hydrolases were deactivated in a Mg2+-dependent reaction and then reactivated to or near initial levels on incubation with cAMP and Mg2+-ATP. The reversible deactivation is assumed to reflect activity of one or more protein phosphatases. The maximum activation obtainable for the four hydrolases decreased when the tissue had been previously exposed to glucagon, indicating that the glucagon-induced activation was probably similar to or identical with the activation demonstrated in cell-free preparations. The pH optima for the four hydrolase activities were similar (7.13 to 7.38). Although the absolute activities and relative degrees of kinase activation differed according to the particular emulsified substrates used, the results do not rule out the possibility that all four hydrolase activities are referable to a single hormone-sensitive hydrolase. Hormone-sensitive acyl hydrolases were separated from lipoprotein lipase by heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. Lipoprotein lipase was active against triolein, diolein, and monoolein, but not cholesterol oleate. Incubation of lipoprotein lipase with exogenous protein kinase, cAMP, and Mg2+ATP had no effect on any of the three hydrolase activities. Lipoprotein lipase was further purified to homogeneity and used to prepare antiserum in rabbits. The immunoglobin G fraction from these antisera completely inhibited lipoprotein lipase eluted from heparin-Sepharose columns. However, the hormone-sensitive hydrolase activities (not retained on heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography) were not inhibited by anti-lipoprotein lipase immunoglobin G, and anti-lopoprotein lipase immunoglobin G did not affect the activation process in crude fractions. Thus, hormone-sensitive lipase and lipoprotein lipase, functionally distinct enzymes, have been physically resolved and immunochemically distinguished. Apparently lipoprotein lipase activity is not regulated, at least directly, by cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Hormone-sensitive lipase activity was measured in adipocytes of rats subjected to a 12-wk program of treadmill running. Enzyme activity in the runners sacrificed immediately after exercise increased 2.5-fold (P less than 0.001) in tissue exposed to epinephrine and threefold (P less than 0.001) in tissue not exposed to epinephrine, when the results were expressed per gram of adipose tissue. Increases of almost the same magnitude were observed in runners sacrificed 24 h after their last bout of work. These significant increases in enzyme activity, however, were the result of a significant reduction in the size of cells in the epididymal fat pads of the exercisers compared with those of the freely eating sedentary animals (68.7 +/- 2.7 mum vs. 82.0 +/- 2.7 mum; P less than 0.01). When the results were expressed on a per-cell basis, therefore, hormone-sensitive lipase activity, assayed in the presence or absence of epinephrine, was unaffected by the exercise program. These results provide evidence that the lipolytic capacity of adipocytes of normal, untrained rats is sufficiently large to meet the increased demand for free fatty acids imposed by the exercise program without the need for an adaptive increase in enzyme activity.

1. Lipoprotein lipase activity and hormone-sensitive lipase activity were investigated in subcutaneous lipomas removed from two patients and compared with the enzyme activities in subcutaneous adipose tissue from two normal subjects. 2. Confirmation was obtained of the presence of lipoprotein lipase activity in lipomas with an activity fifteen to forty-five times that in the two control samples. 3. Hormone-sensitive lipase activity was demonstrated in lipomas under basal conditions of assay as well as in the presence of adrenaline plus theophylline. However, compared with the non-lipomatous fat samples, these activities were lower, as was the magnitude of the lipolytic response to adrenaline plus theophylline. 4. The significance of these measurements of enzyme activity and their role in the pathogenesis of lipomas are briefly discussed.

The hydrolysis of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters stored within cells is mediated by the enzyme, hormone-sensitive lipase. In adipose tissue and heart, hormone-sensitive lipase primarily hydrolyzes stored triglycerides to free fatty acids, while in steroidogenic tissues, it principally converts cholesteryl esters to free cholesterol for steroid hormone production. To determine whether hormone-sensitive lipase is under tissue-specific, developmental regulation, the steady state levels of hormone-sensitive lipase mRNA were determined in normal rats from late fetal life through 2 years of age. Hormone-sensitive lipase mRNA levels did not appear to vary in adipose tissue from epididymal fat pads obtained from animals between 3 weeks and 2 years of age. In heart, hormone-sensitive lipase mRNA levels were lowest in the fetus increased rapidly within the first day postnatally, and then gradually increased to stable adult levels by 2 months that were 3-fold higher than observed in fetal rats. Steady state mRNA levels of hormone-sensitive lipase in the adrenals were lowest in fetal rats, increased 4-fold during the first day and peaked at levels that were 9-fold higher by the end of the first week. Thereafter, levels fell and remained 3- to 4-fold higher than at birth throughout adult life. Hormone-sensitive lipase mRNA was undetectable in testes before 4 weeks of age and increased 25-fold to stable adult levels between 4 and 12 weeks. Thus, hormone-sensitive lipase is differentially expressed and regulated in a tissue-specific fashion during development and aging.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue cell size and density and hormone-sensitive lipase activity were determined during late pregnancy and first lactation in Holstein heifers. Animals were daughters of bulls with either +791 (high line) or +390 (low line) kg Predicted Difference (1974 base) for milk. Each line consumed either a 71%: 29% (high energy) or a 36%:63% (low energy) barley concentrate and alfalfa hay diet from 0 to 140 d lactation. Heifers fed the low energy ration ate 33% less NE1 and produced 20% less milk with 52.7% greater milk fat percentage during 28 to 140 d of lactation than heifers fed the high energy ration. Prepartum, animals of the high line had similar adipocyte volume and density to low line animals. However, during early lactation, high line animals had a greater decrease in volume and a larger increase in density than low line animals. There was a delayed recovery of volume in high line, compared with low line animals in late lactation. Adipocyte volume also was decreased by dietary energy restriction. Hormone-sensitive lipase activity was similar in both genetic lines prepartum and increased in all groups at 60 d postpartum. Animals of high line or fed low energy rations had increased activity per gram during early, but not later, lactation. Activity per cell and per milligram cytoplasm protein increased in all groups in early lactation and were highest in high line animals fed the low energy ration.

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.

Hormone-sensitive lipase, a key enzyme in fatty acid mobilization, overall energy homeostasis, and possibly steroidogenesis, is acutely controlled through reversible phosphorylation by catecholamines and insulin. The 757-amino acid sequence predicted from a cloned rat adipocyte complementary DNA showed no homology with any other known lipase or protein. The activity-controlling phosphorylation site was localized to Ser563 in a markedly hydrophilic domain, and a lipid-binding consensus site was tentatively identified. One or several messenger RNA species (3.3, 3.5, or 3.9 kilobases) were expressed in adipose and steroidogenic tissues and heart and skeletal muscle. The human hormone-sensitive lipase gene mapped to chromosome 19 cent-q13.3.

Hormone-sensitive lipase of rat adipose tissue was partially purified. The enzyme retained its capacity to be activated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase throughout purification. When the partially purified 32P-labeled preparation was subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, the enzyme activity was found to be associated with a 32P-labeled protein of molecular weight 84 000. The result suggests that this 32P-labeled protein represents hormone-sensitive lipase or the catalytic subunit of the enzyme.

Adenylate cyclase activity is lower in membrane preparations of fat cell homogenates from exercise-trained compared with sedentary rats (J. Appl. Physiol.: Respirat. Environ, Exercise Physiol. 42: 884-888, 1977). In the present investigations lipolysis and cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation were measured in isolated parametrial fat cells prepared from sedentary and trained rats. The purpose of these investigations was to determine whether the normal catecholamine-induced increases in cAMP accumulation is affected in isolated adipocytes from endurance-trained rats. The increases in cAMP accumulation in response to isoproterenol (0.01-10 microM) was reduced in fat cells isolated from trained rats. However, glycerol release in response to the same hormonal challenge was greater in these adipocytes. cAMP phosphodiesterase activity measured at 0.125 and 1.025 microM cAMP was greater in the particulate fraction of fat cell homogenates obtained from trained rats as compared with their sedentary counterparts. Hormone-sensitive lipase activity was reduced in crude fat pad homogenate preparations from trained rats if the animals were killed at rest. However, if the animals were run to exhaustion immediately prior to being killed, there were no differences in the hormone-sensitive lipase activity between preparations from trained and nontrained rats. These data indicate that, although cAMP accumulation by isolated fat cells in response to isoproterenol is markedly lower in trained rats, lipolysis and hormone-sensitive lipase activation is not reduced.

Hormone-sensitive lipase has been purified from rat adipose tissue to almost 50 per cent protein purity and partially characterized. The isolated enzyme can be phosphorylated by ATP-Mg2+ in the presence of the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase from the same tissue. Its activity towards emulsified triglyceride is thereby increased two-fold. The enzyme is phosphorylated also in the intact adipocyte, verifying the physiological relevance of the findings with the isolated enzyme. Noradrenaline causes a rapid increase in phosphorylation of the enzyme in intact adipocytes, immediately followed by a marked increase of its activity. Addition of dibutyryl-cyclic AMP to the adipocytes causes the same effects. The extent of phosphorylation of the enzyme after maximal noradrenaline stimulation of the adipocytes is rapidly decreased by insulin addition in close association with inhibition of the lipase activity. The results demonstrate that these hormones regulate the activity of the hormone-sensitive lipase, ie the rate of lipolysis in the adipocytes, by changes of the degree of phosphorylation of the enzyme.
