Effect of diabetes on acid and neutral triacylglycerol lipase and on lipoprotein lipase activities in isolated myocardial cells from rat heart.

ABSTRACT: A neutral triacylglycerol lipase activity that is separate and distinct from lipoprotein lipase (LPL) could be measured in homogenates of myocardial cells if protamine sulphate and high concentrations of albumin were included in the assay. This neutral lipase was predominantly particulate, with the highest relative specific activity in microsomal subcellular fractions. The induction of diabetes by the administration of streptozotocin to rats resulted in a decrease in LPL activity in myocyte homogenates and in particulate subcellular fractions, but the percentage of cellular LPL activity that was released during incubation of myocytes with heparin was normal. In contrast, neutral lipase activity was increased in diabetic myocyte homogenates and microsomal fractions. Acid triacylglycerol lipase activity was not changed in diabetic myocytes. The decrease in LPL in myocytes owing to diabetes may result in the decreased functional LPL activity at the capillary endothelium of the diabetic heart.

Characterization of triacylglycerol hydrolase activities in isolated myocardial cells from rat heart.

Project description:Triacylglycerol (TG) hydrolase activities were characterized in myocytes isolated from rat hearts. Acid hydrolase activity with a pH optimum of 5 could be measured in myocyte homogenates, and the subcellular distribution suggested that this activity originated in lysosomes. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) was also present in myocyte homogenates, as evidenced by TG hydrolase activity that was stimulated by serum and apolipoprotein CII, and inhibited by apolipoprotein CIII2, high ionic strength (NaCl and MgCl2, I = 1 M) and antibodies to LPL. Serum-independent neutral (pH 7.5) TG hydrolase activity was less sensitive to inhibition by 1 M-NaCl, by antibodies to LPL and by preincubation at 40 degrees C than was serum-stimulated hydrolase activity. Furthermore, there were modest but significant differences in the subcellular distribution of the serum-independent and serum-stimulated hydrolase activities. Hydrolase activities in myocyte homogenates could be solubilized by 7.2 mM-deoxycholate. Acid hydrolase activity was recovered in the unbound fraction after heparin-Sepharose chromatography, whereas LPL was bound to the affinity column and was eluted by 0.9-1.2 M-NaCl. Approximately one-third of the serum-independent TG hydrolase activity was not bound to the heparin-Sepharose affinity column. This unbound TG hydrolase activity had a pH optimum of 7 and was stimulated by 50 mM-MgCl2, but not by serum and was resistant to inhibition by high ionic strength (1 M-NaCl), to preincubation at 40 degrees C for 2 h, and by antibodies to LPL. It is concluded that, in addition to an acid lysosomal TG hydrolase and LPL, myocytes from rat heart contain a serum-independent TG hydrolase with unique characteristics.

The effect in vitro of high-density lipoprotein on hydrolysis of triacylglycerol by lipoprotein lipase.

Project description:In an incubation system in vitro with fully activated Intralipid as substrate, rat high-density lipoprotein inhibits the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol by lipoprotein lipase from rat adipose tissue, but does not inhibit hydrolysis by the enzyme from bovine milk. The pattern of inhibition suggests that substrate and high-density lipoprotein may compete for association with rat adipose-tissue lipoprotein lipase.

Lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities in a hypercholesterolaemic (RICO) strain of rat. Effect of dietary cholesterol.

Project description:Hepatic lipase (HL) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were assayed in heparinized plasma from male normocholesterolaemic (SW) and genetically hypercholesterolaemic (RICO) rats. Both strains were fed on either a semi-purified control diet or the same diet enriched with 0.5% or 1% cholesterol. HL activity was similar in both groups of rats fed on the control diet. LPL activity was found to be significantly lower in RICO rats (35% decrease, P less than 0.05). Feeding with a high-cholesterol diet led to a decrease in HL activity (15-23%) in both groups of rats but no change was detected in LPL activity, which remained consistently lower in the RICO rats. Thus, with the control diet, LPL activity is lower in RICO rats but presumably is not rate-limiting for their triacylglycerol clearance, given the normal triacylglycerol levels present. After cholesterol feeding, however, the lower LPL activity may become rate-limiting together with the decrease in HL activity, as in these circumstances hypertriacylglycerolaemia was evident and the hypercholesterolaemia of this strain was further increased.

Chylomicron-remnant uptake by freshly isolated hepatocytes. Effect of heparin and of hepatic triacylglycerol lipase.

Project description:Chylomicron remnants labelled biologically with [3H]cholesterol were efficiently taken up by freshly isolated hepatocytes during a 3 h incubation in Krebs bicarbonate medium. Their [3H]cholesteryl ester was hydrolysed (74% net hydrolysis), and 0.1 mM-chloroquine could partially inhibit this hydrolysis, provided that hepatocytes were first preincubated for 2 h 30 min at 37 degrees C. This hydrolysis was also measured in preincubated cells with remnants double-labelled (3H and 14C) on their free cholesterol moiety; [3H]cholesterol arising from [3H]cholesteryl ester hydrolysis was recovered in the free [3H]cholesterol pool. A dose-response study showed saturation of remnant uptake at 180 micrograms of remnant protein/10(7) cells. Heparin (10 units/ml) increased remnant uptake by 63% (P less than 0.01), [3H]cholesteryl ester accumulation in the cell pellet by 110% (P less than 0.025) and hepatic lipase activity secreted in the medium by 2.4-fold (P less than 0.01) and by 3.3-fold (P less than 0.01) at the end of the preincubation and incubation periods respectively. Addition of 100 munits of semi-purified hepatic lipase preparation/flask stimulated remnant uptake by 44-69%, and [3H]cholesteryl ester accumulation in the presence of chloroquine by 2.1-fold (P less than 0.025). When hepatic lipase was incubated solely with the remnants, it decreased their triacylglycerol and phospholipid contents by 24% and 26% respectively. Thus freshly isolated hepatocytes may be used to study chylomicron-remnant uptake. Hepatic lipase, which seems to underly the stimulating effect of heparin, facilitates remnant uptake in vitro, and this could be mediated by at least one (or both) of its hydrolytic properties.

Impact of Lipoprotein Lipase Gene Polymorphism, S447X, on Postprandial Triacylglycerol and Glucose Response to Sequential Meal Ingestion.

Project description:Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key rate-limiting enzyme for the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol (TAG) in chylomicrons and very low-density lipoprotein. Given that postprandial assessment of lipoprotein metabolism may provide a more physiological perspective of disturbances in lipoprotein homeostasis compared to assessment in the fasting state, we have investigated the influence of two commonly studied LPL polymorphisms (rs320, HindIII; rs328, S447X) on postprandial lipaemia, in 261 participants using a standard sequential meal challenge. S447 homozygotes had lower fasting HDL-C (p = 0.015) and a trend for higher fasting TAG (p = 0.057) concentrations relative to the 447X allele carriers. In the postprandial state, there was an association of the S447X polymorphism with postprandial TAG and glucose, where S447 homozygotes had 12% higher TAG area under the curve (AUC) (p = 0.037), 8.4% higher glucose-AUC (p = 0.006) and 22% higher glucose-incremental area under the curve (IAUC) (p = 0.042). A significant gene-gender interaction was observed for fasting TAG (p = 0.004), TAG-AUC (Pinteraction = 0.004) and TAG-IAUC (Pinteraction = 0.016), where associations were only evident in men. In conclusion, our study provides novel findings of an effect of LPL S447X polymorphism on the postprandial glucose and gender-specific impact of the polymorphism on fasting and postprandial TAG concentrations in response to sequential meal challenge in healthy participants.

Characterization of two triacylglycerol lipase activities in pig post-heparin plasma.

Project description: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.

Hydrolysis of chylomicron triacylglycerol by endothelium-bound lipoprotein lipase. Effect of decreased apoprotein C-II/C-III ratio.

Project description:Chylomicrons with a decreased ratio of C-II/C-III apoproteins on their surface produced by the addition of apoproteins C-III-0 or C-III-3 to intact rat lymph chylomicrons. These chylomicrons inhibited the activity of soluble lipoprotein lipase in vitro, but had no effect on the activity of the endothelium-bound enzyme in the perfused heart.

Changes in lipoprotein lipase activities in adipose tissue, heart and skeletal muscle during continuous or interrupted feeding.

Project description:Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities in parametrial and interscapular adipose tissue, soleus and adductor longus muscles and hearts of female rats were measured during progressive starvation, chow re-feeding after 24 h starvation and throughout dark and light phases in rats permitted unrestricted access to chow. Adipose-tissue LPL activities declined by 50% after 6 h starvation and continued to fall as the starvation period was extended to 24 h. Skeletal-muscle LPL activities dramatically increased between 9 and 12 h of starvation. Cardiac LPL activities increased 2.5-fold within 6 h of starvation, reaching a maximum after 12 h of starvation. Adipose-tissue LPL activities increased rapidly within 2 h of re-feeding chow ad libitum after 24 h starvation, achieving 'fed ad libitum' values after 6 h. Oxidative-skeletal-muscle LPL activities also increased after 2 h of refeeding and exceeded 'fed ad libitum' values throughout the 6 h re-feeding period. Cardiac LPL activities remained up-regulated for the 6 h of re-feeding. Adipose-tissue LPL activities exceeded those of cardiac or skeletal muscle throughout both light and dark phases. The lowest adipose-tissue LPL activities were observed at 9 h into the light phase. In contrast, cardiac LPL activity declined throughout the dark phase, with a minimum at 9 h into the dark phase. No such variation was observed for skeletal-muscle LPL activities. A diurnal nadir in plasma triacylglycerol (TG) concentrations coincided with the peak in cardiac LPL activities. The results demonstrate that, during unrestricted feeding and re-feeding after prolonged starvation, changes in skeletal-muscle and adipose-tissue LPL activities are neither reciprocal nor co-ordinate. Regulation of cardiac LPL activity during the diurnal cycle may be an important aspect of both of cardiac fuel selection and whole-body TG metabolism.

Species differences in lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities: comparative studies of animal models of lifestyle-related diseases.

Project description:Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) have an important role in lifestyle-related diseases. To evaluate species differences, we compared LPL and HTGL activities in different animal models of lifestyle-related diseases using the same assay kit. Normal animals (JW rabbits, ICR mice, and SD rats), a hypercholesterolemic animal model (WHHLMI rabbits), and obese animal models (KK-Ay mice and Zucker fatty rats) fed standard chow were used in this study. Plasma was prepared before and after an intravenous injection of heparin sodium under fasting and feeding. LPL and HTGL activities were measured with the LPL/HTGL activity assay kit (Immuno-Biological Laboratories) using an auto-analyzer. Only in mice, high HTGL activity was observed in pre-heparin plasma. In normal animals, LPL and HTGL activities were high in ICR mice and SD rats but low in JW rabbits. Compared to normal animals, LPL activity was high in Zucker fatty rats and WHHLMI rabbits at both fasting and feeding, while LPL activity after feeding was low in KK-Ay mice. HTGL activity was higher in fasted and fed WHHLMI rabbits and fasted Zucker fatty rats, but was lower in fed KK-Ay mice. Gender difference was observed in HTGL activity in SD rats and LPL activity in WHHLMI rabbits but not in ICR mice. In conclusion, this simple assay method was effective for measuring LPL and HTGL activities of experimental animals, and the activities are highly regulated depending on animal species, animal models, feeding/fasting conditions and genders.

Properties of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and diacylglycerol acyltransferase activities in the isolated rat heart. Effect of glucagon, ischaemia and diabetes.

Project description:Myocardial triacylglycerol hydrolysis is subject to product inhibition. After hydrolysis of endogenous triacylglycerols, the main proportion of the liberated fatty acids is re-esterified to triacylglycerol, indicating the importance of fatty acid re-esterification in the regulation of myocardial triacylglycerol homoeostasis. Therefore, we characterized phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) activities, enzymes catalysing the final steps in the re-esterification of fatty acids to triacylglycerols in the isolated rat heart. The PAP activity was mainly recovered in the microsomal and soluble cell fractions, with an apparent Km of 0.14 mM for both the microsomal and the soluble enzyme. PAP was stimulated by Mg2+ and oleic acid. Oleic acid, like a high concentration of KCl, stimulated the translocation of PAP activity from the soluble to the particulate (microsomal) fraction. Myocardial DGAT had an apparent Km of 3.8 microM and was predominantly recovered in the particulate (microsomal) fraction. Both enzyme activities were significantly increased after acute streptozotocin-induced diabetes, PAP from 15.6 +/- 1.1 to 28.1 +/- 3.6 m-units/g wet wt. (P less than 0.01) and DGAT from 2.23 +/- 0.11 to 3.01 +/- 0.11 m-units/g wet wt. (P less than 0.01). In contrast with diabetes, low-flow ischaemia during 30 min did not affect PAP and DGAT activity in rat hearts. Perfusion with glucagon (0.1 microM) during 30 min did not affect total PAP activity, but changed the subcellular distribution. More PAP activity was recovered in the particulate fraction. DGAT activity was lowered by glucagon treatment from 0.37 +/- 0.03 to 0.23 +/- 0.02 m-unit/mg of microsomal protein (P less than 0.05). The role of PAP and DGAT activity and PAP distribution in the myocardial glucose/fatty acid cycle is discussed.
