Long-chain fatty acids are an important source of energy in vascular endothelium. Their oxidation is stimulated by carnitine and inhibited by blockage of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Excess fatty acid can be reversibly stored as triacylglycerol in the cells. Cultured vascular endothelial cells, in contrast to cardiac vascular endothelium in the intact heart, take up and intracellularly degrade artificial chylomicrons (intralipid enriched with apolipoprotein C-II) but not natural chylomicrons. Fatty acids not bound to albumin, such as those generated from chylomicrons in the lipoprotein lipase reaction, although initially a good source of substrate for beta-oxidation, endanger heart function. Fatty acid excess initiates the breakdown of the endothelial barrier between the vascular lumen and interstitium; it may precipitate edema formation, lead to insufficient oxygenation and finally cause loss of heart function. 相似文献

An exogenous [3H]triolein emulsion was hydrolyzed by intact cardiac myocytes with functional LPL located on the cell surface. This surface-bound LPL could be released into the medium when cardiac myocytes were incubated with heparin. Incubation of cardiac myocytes with VLDL, or the products of TG breakdown, oleic acid or 2-monoolein, did not increase LPL activity in the medium. However, incubation of cardiac myocytes with either VLDL or oleic acid for > 60 min did reduce heparin-releasable LPL activity. In the heart, this inhibitory effect of FFA could regulate the translocation of LPL from its site of synthesis in the cardiac myocyte to its functional site at the capillary endothelium.Abbreviations LPL

Summary Although fatty acid uptake by the myocardium is rapid and efficient, the mechanism of their transmembrane transport has been unclear. Fatty acids are presented to the plasma membrane of cardiomyocytes as albumin complexes within the plasma. Since albumin is not taken up by the cells, it was postulated that specific high affinity binding sites at the sarcolemma may mediate the dissociation of fatty acids from the albumin molecules, before they are transported into the cells. In studies with a representative long-chain fatty acid, oleate, it was in fact shown that fatty acids bind with high affinity to isolated plasma membranes of rat heart myocytes revealing a KD of 42 nM. Moreover, a specific membrane fatty acid-binding protein (MFABP) was isolated from these membranes. It had a molecular weight of 40 kD, an isoelectric point of 9.0, and lacked carbohydrate or lipid components. Binding to a specific membrane protein might represent the first step of a carrier mediated uptake process. Therefore, the uptake kinetics of oleate by isolated rat heart myocytes was determined under conditions where only cellular influx and not metabolism occurred. Uptake revealed saturation kinetics and was temperature dependent which were considered as specific criteria for a facilitated transport mechanism. For evaluation whether uptake is mediated by MFABP, the effect of a monospecific antibody to this protein on cellular influx of oleate was examined. Inhibition of uptake of fatty acids but not of glucose by the antibody to MFABP indicated the physiologic significance of this protein as transmembrane carrier in the cellular uptake process of fatty acids. Such a transporter might represent an important site for the metabolic regulation of fatty acid influx into the myocardium. 相似文献

Summary Fatty acids, the preferred substrate in normoxic myocardium, are derived from either exogenous or endogenous triacylglycerols. The supply of exogenous fatty acids is dependent of the rate of lipolysis in adipose tissue and of the lipoprotein lipase activity at the coronary vascular endothelium. A large part of the liberated fatty acids is reesterified with glycerol-3-phosphate and converted to triacylglycerols. Endogenous lipolysis and lipogenesis are intracellular compartmentalized multienzyme processes of which individual hormone-sensitive steps have been demonstrated in adipose tissue. The triacylglycerol lipase is the rate-limiting enzyme of lipolysis and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase and possibly phosphatidate phosphohydrolase are the rate-limiting enzymes of lipogenesis. The hormonal regulation of both processes in heart is still a matter of dispute. Triacylglycerol lipase activity in myocardial tissue has two intracellular sources: 1, the endoplasmic reticular and soluble neutral lipase, and 2. the lysosomal acid lipase. Studies in our laboratory have indicated that whereas lipolysis is enhanced during global ischemia and anoxia, overall lipolytic enzyme activities in heart homogenates were not altered. In addition we were unable to demonstrate alterations in tissue triacylglycerol content and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity under these conditions. Lipolysis, is subject to feedback inhibition by product fatty acids. Therefore all processes leading to an increased removal of fatty acids from the catalytic site of the lipase will stimulate lipolysis. These studies will be reviewed. In addition, studies from our department have demonstrated the capacity of myocardial lysosomes to take up and degrade added triacylglycerol-particles in vitro. Such a process, stimulated by Ca2+ and stimulated by acidosis, offers another physiological target for hormone actions. 相似文献

Comparative metabolism of free and esterified fatty acids by the perfused rat heart and rat cardiac myocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Studies have been conducted on the uptake and metabolism of unesterified oleic acid and lipoprotein triacylglycerol by the perfused rat heart, and of oleic acid, free glycerol and lipoprotein triacylglycerol by rat cardiac myocytes. The perfused heart efficiently extracted and metabolized unesterified fatty acid and the fatty acid released during lipolysis of the recirculating triacylglycerol. The released glyceride glycerol, however, was largely accumulated in the perfusion media. Cardiac myocytes also extracted and rapidly metabolized unesterified fatty acid. As with the intact heart, free glycerol was poorly utilized by cardiac myocytes. Although the cells appeared to extract a small amount of available extracellular triacylglycerol presented as very low density lipoprotein, this was shown to be unmetabolized, suggesting adsorption rather than surface lipolysis and uptake of the released fatty acid. The data suggest that myocytes are unable to metabolize triacylglycerol fatty acids without prior lipolysis by extracellular (capillary endothelial) lipoprotein lipase. 相似文献

The vascular endothelium can be regarded as a widely distributed organ, interposed between the intravascular and extravascular spaces, with a pluripotent function in the regulation of capillary diameter, vascular homeostasis, lipoprotein metabolism and the vascular response to injury. In the basal physiological state these processes provide a non-thrombotic, non-inflammatory vascular lining preventing uncontrolled inflammation and coagulation. Endothelial cells respond to potential harmful conditions (mechanical stress, anoxia, ischemia and oxidative stress) and a variety of hormones and vasoactive mediators by inducing coagulation and production of inflammatory mediators through the production of bioactive lipids. Although the number of studies in isolated myocardial endothelial cells is limited, from the presumed metabolic analogy with endothelial cells isolated (and cultured) from other organs, one may conclude that the bioactive lipids include oxygenated arachidonate metabolites (eicosanoids) and the platelet activating factor (1--O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine; PAF). All aspects of lipid metabolism, related to the production of eicosanoids and PAF, are present within myocardial endothelial cells. There is uptake and incorporation of fatty acids by endothelial cells and liberation from endogenous triacylglycerol and (membrane) phospholipid stores by (phospho)lipases. Endothelial cells oxidize fatty acids in a carnitine-dependent, mitochondrial, pathway. Endothelial cells actively interact with high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) leading to uptake of cholesterol(esters) that undergo intracellular hydrolysis, and re-esterification to phosphoand neutral lipids, and leaving the LDL-particle modified in a way that makes them bind to the scavenger receptor on macrophages. Extravascular triacylglycerols in lipoproteins (very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), chylomicrons) are handled by endothelial cell lipoprotein lipase, providing substrate fatty acids for the underlying muscle tissue. Eicosanoid production from (membrane)phospholipids and PAF synthesis from alkylphospholipids are tightly coupled and interrelated to the flow of arachidonic acid between cellular lipid pools.

Cloning and characterization of human pancreatic lipase cDNA 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Pancreatic lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) hydrolyzes dietary long chain triacylglycerol to free fatty acids and monoacylglycerols in the intestinal lumen. In the presence of bile acids, the activity of lipase is stimulated by colipase. As a prelude to studying the relationship of the protein structures to the functional properties of lipase and colipase, a cDNA encoding human pancreatic lipase was isolated from a lambda gt11 cDNA library screened with a rabbit polyclonal anti-human pancreatic lipase antibody. The full length cDNA clone of 1477 base pairs contained an open reading frame encoding a 465-amino acid protein, including a 16-amino acid signal peptide. The nucleotide sequence was 69% identical to the dog pancreatic lipase cDNA. The predicted NH2-terminal protein sequence agreed with the published NH2-terminal sequence of human pancreatic lipase and the predicted protein sequence was 85 and 70% identical to the protein sequences of pig and dog pancreatic lipase, respectively. A region of homology around Ser-153 is conserved in a number of lipid-binding proteins. Human hepatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase share extensive homology with pancreatic lipase, suggesting that the three proteins are members of a small gene family. In vitro translation of mRNA transcribed from the cDNA resulted in a protein of the expected molecular size that could be processed by microsomal membranes to yield a glycolated protein with proper signal peptide cleavage. RNA blot analysis demonstrated tissue specificity for pancreatic lipase. Thus, for the first time, a full length human pancreatic lipase cDNA has been isolated and characterized. The demonstrated regions of homology with other lipases will aid definition of interactions with substrate and colipase through site-specific mutagenesis. 相似文献

We present results from studies of human cell culture models to support the premise that the extracellular transport of lysosomal acid lipase has a function in lipoprotein cholesteryl ester metabolism in vascular tissue. Vascular endothelial cells secreted a higher fraction of cellular acid lipase than did smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. Acid lipase and lysosomal beta-hexosaminidase were secreted at approximately the same rate from the apical and basolateral surface of an endothelial cell monolayer. Stimulation of secretion with NH4Cl did not affect the polarity. We tested for the ability of secreted endothelial lipase to interact with connective tissue cells and influence lipoprotein cholesterol metabolism in a coculture system in which endothelial cells on a micropore filter were suspended above a monolayer of acid lipase-deficient (Wolman disease) fibroblasts. After 5-7 d, acid lipase activity in the fibroblasts reached 10%-20% of the level in normal cells; cholesteryl esters that had accumulated from growth in serum were cleared. Addition of mannose 6-phosphate to the coculture medium blocked acid lipase uptake and cholesterol clearance, indicating that lipase released from endothelial cells was packaged into fibroblast lysosomes by a phosphomannosyl receptor-mediated pathway. Supplementation of the coculture medium with serum was not required for lipase uptake and cholesteryl ester hydrolysis by the fibroblasts, but was necessary for cholesterol clearance. Results from our coculture model suggest that acid lipase may be transported from intact endothelium to cells in the lumen or the wall of a blood vessel. We postulate that delivery of acid hydrolases and lipoproteins to a common endocytic compartment may occur and have an impact on cellular lipoprotein processing. 相似文献

Fatty acids are the primary energy source for the heart. The heart acquires fatty acids associated with albumin or derived from lipoprotein lipase (LpL)-mediated hydrolysis of lipoprotein triglyceride (TG). We generated heart-specific LpL knock-out mice (hLpL0) to determine whether cardiac LpL modulates the actions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and affects whole body lipid metabolism. Male hLpL0 mice had significantly elevated plasma TG levels and decreased clearance of postprandial lipids despite normal postheparin plasma LpL activity. Very large density lipoprotein-TG uptake was decreased by 72% in hLpL0 hearts. However, heart uptake of albumin-bound free fatty acids was not altered. Northern blot analysis revealed a decrease in the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha-response genes involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation. Surprisingly, the expression of glucose transporters 1 and 4 and insulin receptor substrate 2 was increased and that of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 and insulin receptor substrate 1 was reduced. Basal glucose uptake was increased markedly in hLpL0 hearts. Thus, the loss of LpL in the heart leads to defective plasma metabolism of TG. Moreover, fatty acids derived from lipoprotein TG and not just albumin-associated fatty acids are important for cardiac lipid metabolism and gene regulation. 相似文献

The objective of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that the diabetes-induced reduction in lipoprotein lipase activity in cardiac myocytes may be due to hypertriglyceridemia. Administration of 4-aminopyrazolopyrimidine (50 mg/kg) to control rats for 24 h reduced plasma triacylglycerol levels and increased the heparin-induced release of lipoprotein lipase into the incubation medium of cardiac myocytes. The acute (3-5 days) induction of diabetes by streptozotocin (100 mg/kg) produced hypertriglyceridemia and reduced heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase activity in cardiac myocytes. Treatment of diabetic rats with 4-aminopyrazolopyrimidine resulted in a fall in plasma triacylglycerol content and increased heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase activity. Administration of Triton WR-1339 also resulted in hypertriglyceridemia, but the heparin-induced release of lipoprotein lipase from control cardiac myocytes was not reduced in the absence of lipolysis of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins. Treatment with Triton WR-1339 did, however, increase the heparin-induced release of lipoprotein lipase from diabetic cardiac myocytes. Preparation of cardiac myocytes with 0.9 mM oleic acid resulted in a decrease in both total cellular and heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase activities. These results suggest that the diabetes-induced reduction in heart lipoprotein lipase activity may, at least in part, be due to an inhibitory effect of free fatty acids, derived either from lipoprotein degradation or from adipose tissue lipolysis, on lipoprotein lipase activity in (and (or) release from) cardiac myocytes. 相似文献

Gastric lipolysis of milk lipids in suckling rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Fatty acid composition of the major lipid classes in stomach contents of suckling rats at 1, 5, 10, 17 and 20 days of lactation was compared to that of milk lipids. In milk, 98% of fatty acids were in triacylglycerols at all lactation times. Medium-chain fatty acid concentrations increased from 8% in colostrum to 26% at day 5. Fatty acid composition of stomach acylglycerols at all lactation times was different from that of milk triacylglycerols, containing less medium-chain fatty acids, 8:0 and 10:0. This preferential hydrolysis was also shown by higher concentrations of medium-chain fatty acids in the free fatty acid fraction. The lipolysis of medium-chain fatty acids from triacylglycerols resulted in the appearance of di- and monoacylglycerols with 50-100% higher amounts of 14:0 and 16:0. The similar fatty acid composition of products suggests that considerable lipolysis occurred in stomachs of suckling rats even at 1 day of age. Although there was a 10-fold increase in milk consumption, the extent of lipolysis was similar throughout the suckling period because of a parallel rise in lingual lipase levels. 相似文献

Free fatty acids are the major lipid fuel of the body. Dysregulation of adipose tissue lipolysis results in increased plasma free fatty acid concentrations, and via that mechanism contributes to insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adipose tissue hormone sensitive lipase is thought to be responsible for the production of the majority of free fatty acids. However, a separate contribution comes from the action of endothelial lipases, especially lipoprotein lipase, on triglyceride-rich lipoproteins via a process known as spillover. The primary substrate for spillover appears to be chylomicrons derived from dietary fat. The spillover of fatty acids into the free fatty acid pool varies from one tissue to another. For example, spillover is low ( approximately 14%) in the forearm of healthy volunteers, suggesting that triglyceride fatty acid storage is relatively efficient in skeletal muscle. In contrast, spillover appears to be higher in adipose tissue and may also be higher in the splanchnic bed, based on preliminary data. If systemic spillover is increased in insulin resistant states such as diabetes, this could represent a mechanism contributing to the abnormal increases in plasma concentrations of free fatty acids in that condition. 相似文献

Diacetyl long-chain 1(3)- and 2-acyl-sn-glycerols containing either [9,10-3H]oleic acid or [1-14C]palmitic acid were synthesized by partial hydrolysis of the corresponding labelled triacylglycerols and acetylation. They were obtained in a high degree of stereochemical purity by preparative h.p.l.c. on a column containing a diol bonded phase. Each compound was rapidly metabolized by adipocyte preparations in vitro, and a high proportion of the label was recovered in the unesterified fatty acid and triacylglycerol fractions. Negligible amounts of intermediate products of hydrolysis were detected. Triacylglycerols were formed from [9,10-3H]oleic acid and from diacetyl-1(3)-[9,10-3H]oleoyl glycerol precursors at about the same rate, but the 2-isomer was metabolized rather more slowly. The results were consistent with the hypothesis that essentially complete hydrolysis occurred in the medium or at the plasma membrane, through the actions of lipoprotein lipase and monoacylglycerol lipase, and that subsequent esterification took place within the cell. To confirm that no putative intermediate monoacylglycerols were utilized for triacylglycerol biosynthesis via the monacylglycerol pathway, the positional distributions of fatty acids in triacylglycerols from each substrate were determined. No positional selectivity was observed. It was concluded that monoacylglycerols, of an origin exogenous to the tissue, e.g. those derived from plasma triacylglycerols, were not utilized to a significant degree for triacylglycerol biosynthesis in adipose tissue. The diacetyl derivatives of monoacylglycerols may serve as useful stereochemical probes in studies of triacylglycerol biosynthesis via the monoacylglycerol pathway in other tissues. 相似文献

Syndecans are a family of four transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans that act as coreceptors for a variety of cell-surface ligands and receptors. Receptor activation in several cell types leads to shedding of syndecan-1 and syndecan-4 ectodomains into the extracellular space by metalloproteinase-mediated cleavage of the syndecan core protein. We have found that 3T3-L1 adipocytes express syndecan-1 and syndecan-4 and that their ectodomains are shed in response to insulin in a dose-, time-, and metalloproteinase-dependent manner. Insulin responsive shedding is not seen in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. This shedding involves both Ras-MAP kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways. In response to insulin, adipocytes are known to secrete active lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that binds to heparan sulfate on the luminal surface of capillary endothelia. Lipoprotein lipase is transported as a stable enzyme from its site of synthesis to its site of action, but the transport mechanism is unknown. Our studies indicate that shed adipocyte syndecans associate with lipoprotein lipase. The shed syndecan ectodomain can stabilize active lipoprotein lipase. These data suggest that syndecan ectodomains, shed by adipocytes in response to insulin, are physiological extracellular chaperones for lipoprotein lipase as it translocates from its site of synthesis to its site of action. 相似文献

Butyryl cholinesterase from horse and human sera catalyzed the hydrolysis of monoacylglycerols containing fatty acids varying in chain length from 8 to 12 carbons; maximum activity was obtained with rac-glycerol 1-monodecanoate as substrate. Neither the triacylglycerols of these fatty acids nor the monoacylglycerols of longer chain length fatty acids were hydrolyzed at measurable rates in the system used. The enzyme was eserine sensitive and indistinguishable from butyryl cholinesterase as judged by purification, response to the several inhibitors tested, and heat inactivation. Data from mixed substrate experiments suggest a possible effector role for butyryl choline in accelerating the rate of rac-glycerol 1-monodecanoate hydrolysis. Fatty acid released during the course of rac-glycerol 1-monodecanoate hydrolysis may irreversibly inactivate the enzyme. 相似文献

Brush border membrane vesicles prepared using divalent cation precipitation methods can contain unphysiological levels of non-esterified fatty acids. Fatty acid production from endogenous lipid during brush border membrane vesicle preparation is effectively prevented by the lipase inhibitor diethyl 4-nitrophenylphosphate plus cooling. Vesicles prepared using this procedure have variable levels of non-esterified fatty acids (range 22-193 nmol mg-1 protein). Changes in non-esterified fatty acid levels in brush border membrane vesicles parallel Fe uptake by vesicles from Fe/ascorbate solutions. Brush border membrane vesicle fatty acids appear to be derived from the diet but hypoxic mice are able to maintain high brush border membrane non-esterified fatty acid levels despite reduced dietary intake. Non-esterified fatty acids in brush border membrane may thus provide a physiological mechanism of mucosal Fe uptake. 相似文献

The lipid composition of rough and smooth microsomal membranes, zymogen granule membranes, and a plasmalemmal fraction from the guinea pig pancreatic exocrine cell has been determined. As a group, membranes of the smooth variety (i.e., smooth microsomes, zymogen granule membranes, and the plasmalemma) were similar in their content of phospholipids, cholesterol and neutral lipids, and in the ratio of total lipids to membrane proteins. In contrast, rough microsomal membranes contained much less sphingomyelin and cholesterol and possessed a smaller lipid/protein ratio. All membrane fractions were unusually high in their content of lysolecithin (up to ~20% of the total phospholipids) and of neutral lipids, especially fatty acids. The lysolecithin content was shown to be due to the hydrolysis of membrane lecithin by pancreatic lipase; the fatty acids, liberated by the action of lipase on endogenous triglyceride stores, are apparently scavenged by the membranes from the suspending media. Similar artifactually high levels of lysolecithin and fatty acids were noted in hepatic microsomes incubated with pancreatic postmicrosomal supernatant. E 600, an inhibitor of lipase, largely prevented the appearance of lysolecithin and fatty acids in pancreatic microsomes and in liver microsomes treated with pancreatic supernatant. 相似文献
