Because insulin has been shown to stimulate long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) esterification in skeletal muscle and cardiac myocytes, we investigated whether insulin increased the rate of LCFA transport by altering the expression and the subcellular distribution of the fatty acid transporters FAT/CD36 and FABPpm. In cardiac myocytes, insulin very rapidly increased the expression of FAT/CD36 protein in a time- and dose-dependent manner. During a 2-h period, insulin (10 nM) increased cardiac myocyte FAT/CD36 protein by 25% after 60 min and attained a maximum after 90-120 min (+40-50%). There was a dose-dependent relationship between insulin (10(-12) to 10(-7) M) and FAT/CD36 expression. The half-maximal increase in FAT/CD36 protein occurred at 0.5 x 10(-9) M insulin, and the maximal increase occurred at 10(-9) to 10(-8) M insulin (+40-50%). There were similar insulin-induced increments in FAT/CD36 protein in cardiac myocytes (+43%) and in Langendorff-perfused hearts (+32%). In contrast to FAT/CD36, insulin did not alter the expression of FABPpm protein in either cardiac myocytes or the perfused heart. By use of specific inhibitors of insulin-signaling pathways, it was shown that insulin-induced expression of FAT/CD36 occurred via the PI 3-kinase/Akt insulin-signaling pathway. Subcellular fractionation of cardiac myocytes revealed that insulin not only increased the expression of FAT/CD36, but this hormone also targeted some of the FAT/CD36 to the plasma membrane while concomitantly lowering the intracellular depot of FAT/CD36. At the functional level, the insulin-induced increase in FAT/CD36 protein resulted in an increased rate of palmitate transport into giant vesicles (+34%), which paralleled the increase in plasmalemmal FAT/CD36 (+29%). The present studies have shown that insulin regulates protein expression of FAT/CD36, but not FABPpm, via the PI 3-kinase/Akt insulin-signaling pathway. 相似文献

We investigated palmitate uptake and utilization by contracting cardiac myocytes in suspension to explore the link between long-chain fatty acid (FA) uptake and cellular metabolism, in particular the role of fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36-mediated transsarcolemmal FA transport. For this, an experimental setup was developed to electrically stimulate cardiomyocytes in multiple parallel incubations. Electrostimulation at voltages > or =170 V resulted in cellular contraction with no detrimental effect on cellular integrity. At 200 V and 4 Hz, palmitate uptake (measured after 3-min incubation) was enhanced 1.5-fold. In both quiescent and contracting myocytes, after their uptake, palmitate was largely and rapidly esterified, mainly into triacylglycerols. Palmitate oxidation (measured after 30 min) contributed to 22% of palmitate taken up by quiescent cardiomyocytes and, after stimulation at 4 Hz, was increased 2.8-fold to contribute to 39% of palmitate utilization. The electrostimulation-mediated increase in palmitate uptake was blocked in the presence of either verapamil, a contraction inhibitor, or sulfo-N-succinimidyl-FA esters, specific inhibitors of FAT/CD36. These data indicate that, in contracting cardiac myocytes, palmitate uptake is increased due to increased flux through FAT/CD36. 相似文献

Fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) is a membrane receptor that facilitates long-chain fatty acid uptake. To investigate its role in the regulation of long-chain fatty acid composition in muscle tissue, we studied and compared FAT/CD36 gene expression in muscle tissues of commercial broiler chickens and Chinese local Silky fowls. The results from gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of muscle samples demonstrated that Chinese local Silky fowls had significantly higher (P < 0.05) proportions of linoleic acid (LA) and palmitic acid, lower proportions (P < 0.05) of arachidonic acid (AA) and oleic acid than the commercial broiler chickens. The mRNA expression levels of fatty acid (FA) transporters (FA transport protein-1, membrane FA-binding protein, FAT/CD36 and caveolin-1) in the m. ipsilateral pectoralis and biceps femoris were analyzed by Q-PCR, and FAT/CD36 expression levels showed significant differences between these types of chickens (P < 0.01). Interestingly, the levels of FAT/CD36 expression are positively correlated with LA content (r = 0.567, P < 0.01) but negatively correlated with palmitic acid content (r = −0.568, P < 0.01). Further experiments in the stably transfected Chinese hamster oocytes cells with chicken FAT/CD36 cDNA demonstrated that overexpression of FAT/CD36 improves total FA uptake with a significant increase in the proportion of LA and AA, and a decreased proportion of palmitic acid. These results suggest that chicken FAT/CD36 may selectively transport LA and AA, which may lead to the higher LA deposition in muscle tissue. 相似文献

There is substantial molecular, biochemical and physiologic evidence that long-chain fatty acid transport involves a protein-mediated process. A number of fatty acid transport proteins have been identified, and for unknown reasons, some of these are coexpressed in the same tissues. In muscle and heart FAT/CD36 and FABPpm appear to be key transporters. Both proteins are regulated acutely (within minutes) and chronically (hours to days) by selected physiologic stimuli (insulin, AMP kinase activation). Acute regulation involves the translocation of FAT/CD36 by insulin, muscle contraction and AMP kinase activation, while FABPpm is induced to translocate by muscle contraction and AMP kinase activation, but not by insulin. Protein expression ofFAT/CD36 and FABPpm is regulated by prolonged AMP kinase activation (heart) or increased muscle contraction. Prolonged insulin exposure increases the expression of FAT/CD36 but not FABPpm. Trafficking of fatty acid transporters between an intracellular compartment(s) and the plasma membrane is altered in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle, as some FAT/CD36 is permanently relocated to plasma membrane, thereby contributing to insulin resistance due to the increased influx of fatty acids into muscle cells. Studies in FAT/CD36 null mice have revealed that this transporter is key to regulating the increase in the rate of fatty acid metabolism in heart and skeletal muscle. It appears based on a number of experiments that FAT/CD36 and FABPpm may collaborate to increase the rates of fatty acid transport, as these proteins co-immunoprecipitate. 相似文献

Evidence is accumulating that the heavily glycosylated integral membrane protein fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) is involved
in the transport of long-chain fatty acids across the sarcolemma of heart muscle cells. The aim of this study was to analyse
the distribution between FAT/CD36 present in cardiac myocytes and endothelial cells. We therefore developed a method to purify
FAT/CD36 from total rat heart and isolated cardiomyocytes, and used the proteins as standards in an immunochemical assay.
Two steps, chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin-agarose and anion-exchange chromatography on Q-Sepharose fast flow, were
sufficient for obtaining the protein in a > 95% pure form. When used to isolate FAT/CD36 from total heart tissue, the FAT/CD36
yield of the method was 9% and the purification factor was 64. Purifying FAT/CD36 from isolated cardiomyocytes yielded the
same 88 kDa protein band on SDS-PAGE gels and reactivity of this band on western blots was comparable to that of the FAT/CD36
isolated from total hearts. Quantifying FAT/CD36 contents by western blotting showed that the amounts of FAT/CD36 that are
present in isolated cardiomyocytes (10 ± 3 μg/mg protein) and total hearts (14 ± 4 μg/mg protein) are of comparable magnitude.
Immunofluorescence labelling showed that at least a part of the FAT/CD36 present in the cardiomyocyte is associated with the
sarcolemma. This study established that FAT/CD36 is a relatively abundant protein in the cardiomyocyte. In addition, the further
developed purification procedure is the first method for isolating FAT/CD36 from rat heart and cardiomyocyte FAT/CD36. 相似文献

FAT/CD36-mediated long-chain fatty acid uptake in adipocytes requires plasma membrane rafts 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We previously reported that lipid rafts are involved in long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The present data show that LCFA uptake does not depend on caveolae endocytosis because expression of a dominant negative mutant of dynamin had no effect on uptake of [3H]oleic acid, whereas it effectively prevented endocytosis of cholera toxin. Isolation of detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) from 3T3-L1 cell homogenates revealed that FAT/CD36 was expressed in both DRMs and detergent-soluble membranes (DSMs), whereas FATP1 and FATP4 were present only in DSMs but not DRMs. Disruption of lipid rafts by cyclodextrin and specific inhibition of FAT/CD36 by sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO) significantly decreased uptake of [3H]oleic acid, but simultaneous treatment had no additional or synergistic effects, suggesting that both treatments target the same mechanism. Indeed, subcellular fractionation demonstrated that plasma membrane fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) is exclusively located in lipid rafts, whereas intracellular FAT/CD36 cofractionated with DSMs. Binding assays confirmed that [3H]SSO predominantly binds to FAT/CD36 within plasma membrane DRMs. In conclusion, our data strongly suggest that FAT/CD36 mediates raft-dependent LCFA uptake. Plasma membrane lipid rafts might control LCFA uptake by regulating surface availability of FAT/CD36. 相似文献

Protein-mediated fatty acid uptake and intracellular fatty acid activation are key steps in fatty acid metabolism in muscle.We have examined (a) the abundance of fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) mRNA (a fatty acid transporter) and long-chain acyl CoA synthetase (FACS1) mRNA in metabolically heterogeneous muscles (soleus (SOL), red (RG) and white gastrocnemius (WG)), and (b) whether FAT/CD36 and FACS1 mRNAs were coordinately upregulated in red (RTA) and white tibialis muscles (WTA) that had been chronically stimulated for varying periods of time (0.25, 1, 6 and 24 h/day) for 7 days. FAT/CD36 mRNA and FACS1 mRNA abundance were scaled with (a) the oxidative capacity of muscle (SOL > RG > WG) (p < 0.05), (b) the rates of fatty acid oxidation in red and white muscles, and (c) fatty acid uptake by sarcolemmal vesicles, derived from red and white muscles. In chronically stimulated muscles (RTA and WTA), FAT/CD36 mRNA and FACS1 mRNA were up-regulated in relation to the quantity of muscle contractile activity (p < 0.05). FAT/CD36 mRNA and FACS1 mRNA up-regulation was highly correlated (r = 0.98). The coordinated expression of FAT/CD36 and FACS is likely a functional adaptive response to facilitate a greater rate of fatty acid activation in response to a greater rate of fatty acid transport, either among different types of muscles or in muscles in which capacity for fatty acid metabolism has been enhanced. 相似文献

Fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36 is involved in regulating the uptake of long-chain fatty acids into muscle cells. However, the contribution of FAT/CD36 to fatty acid metabolism remains unknown. We examined the role of FAT/CD36 on fatty acid metabolism in perfused muscles (soleus and red and white gastrocnemius) of wild-type (WT) and FAT/CD36 null (KO) mice. In general, in muscles of KO mice, 1) insulin sensitivity and 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR) sensitivity were normal, 2) key enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation were altered minimally or not at all, and 3) except for an increase in soleus muscle FATP1 and FATP4, these fatty acid transporters were not altered in red and white gastrocnemius muscles, whereas plasma membrane-bound fatty acid binding protein was not altered in any muscle. In KO muscles perfused under basal conditions (i.e., no insulin, no AICAR), rates of hindquarter fatty acid oxidation were reduced by 26%. Similarly, in oxidative but not glycolytic muscles, the basal rates of triacylglycerol esterification were reduced by 40%. When muscles were perfused with insulin, the net increase in fatty acid esterification was threefold greater in the oxidative muscles of WT mice compared with the oxidative muscles in KO mice. With AICAR-stimulation, the net increase in fatty acid oxidation by hindquarter muscles was 3.7-fold greater in WT compared with KO mice. In conclusion, the present studies demonstrate that FAT/CD36 has a critical role in regulating fatty acid esterification and oxidation, particularly during stimulation with insulin or AICAR. 相似文献

Defect in human myocardial long-chain fatty acid uptake is caused by FAT/CD36 mutations 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Because of the importance of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) as a myocardial energy substrate, myocardial LCFA metabolism has been of particular interest for the understanding of cardiac pathophysiology. Recently, by using radiolabeled LCFA analogues, myocardial LCFA metabolism has been clinically evaluated, which revealed a total defect of myocardial LCFA accumulation in a small number of subjects. The mechanism for the cellular LCFA uptake process is still disputable, but recent results suggest that fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36 is a transporter in the heart. In the present study, we analyzed mutations and protein expression of the FAT/CD36 gene in 47 patients who showed total lack of the accumulation of a radiolabeled LCFA analogue in the heart. All the patients carried two mutations in the FAT/CD36 gene, and expression of the FAT/CD36 protein was not detected on either platelet or monocyte membranes. Our results showed the link between mutations of the FAT/CD36 gene and a defect in the accumulation of LCFAs in the human heart. 相似文献

We examined, in muscle of lean and obese Zucker rats, basal, insulin-induced, and contraction-induced fatty acid transporter translocation and fatty acid uptake, esterification, and oxidation. In lean rats, insulin and contraction induced the translocation of the fatty acid transporter FAT/CD36 (43 and 41%, respectively) and plasma membrane-associated fatty acid binding protein (FABPpm; 19 and 60%) and increased fatty acid uptake (63 and 40%, respectively). Insulin and contraction increased lean muscle palmitate esterification and oxidation 72 and 61%, respectively. In obese rat muscle, basal levels of sarcolemmal FAT/CD36 (+33%) and FABPpm (+14%) and fatty acid uptake (+30%) and esterification (+32%) were increased, whereas fatty acid oxidation was reduced (-28%). Insulin stimulation of obese rat muscle increased plasmalemmal FABPpm (+15%) but not plasmalemmal FAT/CD36, blunted fatty acid uptake and esterification, and failed to reduce fatty acid oxidation. In contracting obese rat muscle, the increases in fatty acid uptake and esterification and FABPpm translocation were normal, but FAT/CD36 translocation was impaired and fatty acid oxidation was blunted. There was no relationship between plasmalemmal fatty acid transporters and palmitate partitioning. In conclusion, fatty acid metabolism is impaired at several levels in muscles of obese Zucker rats; specifically, they are 1) insulin resistant with respect to FAT/CD36 translocation and fatty acid uptake, esterification, and oxidation and 2) contraction resistant with respect to fatty acid oxidation and FAT/CD36 translocation, but, conversely, 3) obese muscles are neither insulin nor contraction resistant at the level of FABPpm. Finally, 4) there is no evidence that plasmalemmal fatty acid transporters contribute to the channeling of fatty acids to specific metabolic destinations within the muscle. 相似文献

The vertebrate intestine is notable for its plasticity in response to environmental, pathologic, reproductive, and dietary challenges. The molecular mechanisms of intestinal adaptations typically involve both morphologic and functional changes. In response to chronic ingestion of a high-fat diet, for example, the mammalian small intestine quickly adapts to efficiently accommodate increased transport of long-chain fatty acids across the mucosa. Whereas this may be adaptive in the short term, in the long term it may contribute to the pathologies associated with chronic high-fat diets in humans and other mammals. This review focuses on some of the known and putative mechanisms by which fatty acids are transported across the intestinal epithelium in addition to simple diffusion, and how these mechanisms may be regulated in part by a high-fat diet. A model is proposed in which two key proteins, CD36 and the enzyme intestinal alkaline phosphatase, work in a coordinated manner to optimize fatty acid transport across enterocytes in mice. 相似文献

Sulfo-N-succinimidyl esters of LCFAs are a powerful tool to investigate the functional significance of plasmalemmal proteins in the LCFA uptake process. This notion is based on the following observations. First, sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO) was found to inhibit the bulk of LCFA uptake into various cell types, i.e. rat adipocytes, type II pneumocytes and cardiac myocytes. Second, using cardiac giant membrane vesicles, in which LCFA uptake can be investigated in the absence of mitochondrial -oxidation, SSO retained the ability to largely inhibit LCFA uptake, indicating that inhibition of LCFA transsarcolemmal transport is its primary action. Third, SSO has no inhibitory effect on glucose and octanoate uptake into giant membrane vesicles derived from heart and skeletal muscle, indicating that its action is specific for LCFA uptake. Finally, SSO specifically binds to the 88 kDa plasmalemmal fatty acid transporter FAT, a rat homologue of human CD36, resulting in an arrest of the transport function of this protein.In addition to its inhibitory action at the plasma membrane level, evidence is presented for the lack of a direct inhibitory effect on subsequent LCFA metabolism. First, the relative contribution of oxidation and esterification to LCFA uptake is not altered in the presence of SSO. Second, isoproterenol-mediated channeling of LCFAs into oxidative pathways is not affected by sulfo-N-succinimidyl palmitate (SSP). As an example of its application we used SSP to study the role of FAT/CD36 in contraction- and insulin-stimulated LCFA uptake by cardiac myocytes , showing that this transporter is a primary site of regulation of cellular LCFA utilization. 相似文献

Insulin and muscle contraction increase fatty acid transport into muscle by inducing the translocation of FAT/CD36. We examined (a) whether these effects are additive, and (b) whether other fatty acid transporters (FABPpm, FATP1, FATP4, and FATP6) are also induced to translocate. Insulin and muscle contraction increased glucose transport and plasmalemmal GLUT4 independently and additively (positive control). Palmitate transport was also stimulated independently and additively by insulin and by muscle contraction. Insulin and muscle contraction increased plasmalemmal FAT/CD36, FABPpm, FATP1, and FATP4, but not FATP6. Only FAT/CD36 and FATP1 were stimulated in an additive manner by insulin and by muscle contraction. 相似文献

Fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36 has been associated with diverse normal and pathologic processes. These include scavenger receptor functions (uptake of apoptotic cells and modified lipid), lipid metabolism and fatty acid transport, adhesion, angiogenesis, modulation of inflammation, transforming growth factor- activation, atherosclerosis, diabetes and cardiomyopathy. Although CD36 was identified more than 25 years ago, it is only with the advent of recent genetic technology that in vivo evidence has emerged for its physiologic and pathologic relevance. As these in vivo studies are expanded, we will gain further insight into the mechanism(s) by which CD36 transmits a cellular signal, and this will allow the design of specific therapeutics that impact on a particular function of CD36. 相似文献

In myocytes and adipocytes, insulin increases fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36 translocation to the plasma membrane (PM), enhancing fatty acid (FA) uptake. Evidence links increased hepatic FAT/CD36 protein amount and gene expression with hyperinsulinemia in animal models and patients with fatty liver, but whether insulin regulates FAT/CD36 expression, amount, distribution, and function in hepatocytes is currently unknown. To investigate this, FAT/CD36 protein content in isolated hepatocytes, subfractions of organelles, and density-gradient isolated membrane subfractions was analyzed in obese and lean Zucker rats by Western blotting in liver sections by immunohistochemistry and in hepatocytes by immunocytochemistry. The uptake of oleate and oleate incorporation into lipids were assessed in hepatocytes at short time points (30-600 s). We found that FAT/CD36 protein amount at the PM was higher in hepatocytes from obese rats than from lean controls. In obese rat hepatocytes, decreased cytoplasmatic content of FAT/CD36 and redistribution from low- to middle- to middle- to high-density subfractions of microsomes were found. Hallmarks of obese Zucker rat hepatocytes were increased amount of FAT/CD36 protein at the PM and enhanced FA uptake and incorporation into triglycerides, which were maintained only when exposed to hyperinsulinemic conditions (80 mU/l). In conclusion, high insulin levels are required for FAT/CD36 translocation to the PM in obese rat hepatocytes to enhance FA uptake and triglyceride synthesis. These results suggest that the hyperinsulinemia found in animal models and patients with insulin resistance and fatty liver might contribute to liver fat accumulation by inducing FAT/CD36 functional presence at the PM of hepatocytes. 相似文献

Fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36-mediated long-chain fatty acid uptake in human umbilical vessel endothelial cells is associated with as yet uncharacterized translocase activity. The molecular mechanism of its function is not yet understood. Numerous attempts to purify rat cardiac sarcolemmal E-NTPase (an integral membrane protein also referred to as ecto-Ca(2+)/Mg(2+)ATPase) have revealed a complete amino acid sequence identity for FAT/CD36 protein. The most striking observation is that purified CD36 from human platelets shows significant E-NTPase activity. In view of recent progress in understanding CD36 functional properties, an attempt is made in this article to illustrate the point that association of E-NTPase (possibly extracellular Ca(2+)/Mg(2+)nucleotide triphosphate diphosphohydrolase) activity with CD36 may be of potential functional significance. 相似文献

Increased platelet reactivity has been implicated in the vascular complications of myeloproliferative diseases and diabetes mellitus. The mechanisms of platelet hyperresponsiveness have not been fully explained. Expression of CD36 or fatty acid translocase (FAT) and its role in arachidonic acid (AA) uptake by platelets were examined in subjects with myeloproliferative disorders(MPD), those with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and in normal, healthy, age-matched controls. Surface expression of CD36 on platelet membranes was increased in MPD (10.94 ± 0.76 pmol/mg protein) compared with normal controls (6.94 ± 0.48 pmol/mg protein), p < 0.001. Total platelet content of CD36 was also significantly higher (32.1 ± 0.61 pmol/mg protein, p < 0.01) compared with those in sex and age matched normal controls (25.7 ± 1.09 pmol/mg protein). In contrast, platelet surface expression of CD36 in NIDDM (6.5 ± 0.56 pmol/mg protein) was not significantly different from those of normal controls despite higher total content of CD36 (32.8 ± 1.2, pmol/mg protein, p < 0 .01). Intact MPD platelets bound significantly more arachidonic acid (AA) (1.53 ± 0.16 nmol/mg protein, p < 0.05), compared with controls (1.12 ± 0.07 nmol/mg protein) or NIDDM subjects (1.16 ± 0.16 nmol/mg protein). The capacity of MPD platelet membranes to bind 14C-AA was also increased (1.72 ± 0.25 nmol/ protein, p < 0.05) compared with that of controls (1.62 ± 0.05 nmol/protein) and of NIDDM (1.22 ± 0.08 nmol/protein). This is consistent with higher surface expression of CD36 in MPD platelets. Membrane fatty acid analysis indicated that the % of AA in platelet phospholipids was significantly lower in MPD (3.15 ± 0.81%) compared with the controls (5.62 ± 1.7%, p < 0.05. The AA content of diabetic platelets (4.82 ± 1.1%) was not significantly different from normal controls. In summary, both total and surface expression of CD36 are increased in MPD, consistent with an enhanced capacity for uptake of AA by platelets. Increased expression of CD36 in platelets may play a role in the vaso-occlusive manifestations of MPD. 相似文献

Various mechanisms detect the presence of dietary triacylglycerols (TAG) in the digestive tract and link TAG ingestion to the regulation of energy homeostasis. We here propose a novel sensing mechanism with the potential to encode dietary TAG-derived energy by translating enterocyte fatty acid oxidation (FAO) into vagal afferent signals controlling eating. Peripheral FAO has long been implicated in the control of eating (141). The prevailing view was that mercaptoacetate (MA) and other FAO inhibitors stimulate eating by modulating vagal afferent signaling from the liver. This concept has been challenged because hepatic parenchymal vagal afferent innervation is scarce and because experimentally induced changes in hepatic FAO often fail to affect eating. Nevertheless, intraperitoneally administered MA acts in the abdomen to stimulate eating because this effect was blocked by subdiaphragmatic vagal deafferentation (21), a surgical technique that eliminates all vagal afferents from the upper gut. These and other data support a role of the small intestine rather than the liver as a FAO sensor that can influence eating. After intrajejunal infusions, MA also stimulated eating in rats through vagal afferent signaling, and after infusion into the superior mesenteric artery, MA increased the activity of celiac vagal afferent fibers originating in the proximal small intestine. Also, pharmacological interference with TAG synthesis targeting the small intestine induced a metabolic profile indicative of increased FAO and inhibited eating in rats on a high-fat diet but not on chow. Finally, cell culture studies indicate that enterocytes oxidize fatty acids, which can be modified pharmacologically. Thus enterocytes may sense dietary TAG-derived fatty acids via FAO and influence eating through changes in intestinal vagal afferent activity. Further studies are necessary to identify the link between enterocyte FAO and vagal afferents and to examine the specificity and potential physiological relevance of such a mechanism. 相似文献
