Developmental regulation of lipoprotein lipase in rats

Abstract: To evaluate changes in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) expression during development, levels of LPL mRNA, protein, and enzyme activity were measured in heart, epididymal fat, kidney, and brain of rats, from late gestation through 24 mo. LPL mRNA, protein, and enzyme activity were low in fetal and neonatal hearts. LPL mRNA increased 11-fold by 60 days and remained at this level thereafter; LPL protein and enzyme activity increased 10-fold by weaning, before declining to low values by 3 mo. LPL mRNA levels, protein, an… Show more

“…The reasons for this are unclear but may be due to different tissue preparations, incubation conditions, the presence of inhibitors, interfering substances, or the sensitivity ofour assays. In this regard, we have found immunoreactive LPL protein, but not activity, in the brains ofnewborn rats that declines to undetectable levels by 1 mo of age (9). In contrast, LPL mRNA could be detected in the brains of adult rats and neither diabetes nor insulin treatment of diabetic rats had any effect on brain LPL mRNA levels.…”

“…Total LPL activity was measured as previously described (9). Briefly, tissue samples were delipidated with acetone/ether and the acetone-ether powders were extracted into 100-200 M1 of5 mM sodium barbital, pH 7.5, 20% (vol/vol) glycerol and 0.1% Triton X-100, by a 30-min incubation at 4VC with intermittent vortexing.…”

“…[5][6][7] LPL activity is regulated in a tissue-specific manner by dietary and hormonal factors that modulate the enzyme via transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and posttranslational mechanisms. 8 For example, with fasting, LPL activity decreases in adipose but increases in cardiac tissue; as a result, FFAs from circulating TGs are diverted away from storage to meet the metabolic demands of the heart. 1 Insulin causes LPL activity to increase 3-fold in adipose tissue but reduces LPL activity significantly in skeletal muscle.…”
