Hepatic Lipase: a Comprehensive View of its Role on Plasma Lipid and Lipoprotein Metabolism

Abstract: Hepatic lipase (HL) is a key enzyme catalyzing the hydrolysis of triglycerides (TG) and phospholipids (PLs) in several lipoproteins. It is generally recognized that HL is involved in the remodeling of remnant, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and the production of small, dense low-density lipoproteins (sd-LDLs). On the other hand, it is unclear whether HL accelerates or retards atherosclerosis. From the clinical point of view, HL deficiency may provide useful information on answeri… Show more

“…To further explore the in-depth molecular mechanisms of CTS and COS regulating the process above, we examined the mRNA expressions of two important regulating factors in the liver: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα), a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of various aspects of liver lipid metabolisms ( 13 , 14 ), and its target regulatory proteins, hepatic lipase (HL), which can catalyze TG hydrolysis in chylomicrons (CM) and VLDL-C for tissue use in the form of free fatty acid (FFA) and monoacylglycerol, and provide high-density lipoprotein (HDL) with apolipoproteins and phospholipids for the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) process ( 15 , 16 ). Therefore, we speculated about the regulating function of CTS and its derivatives for lipid metabolism via up-regulating the expressions of liver PPARα and HL mRNA levels, which further contributes to the RCT process.…”

“…LDL particles are generated in circulation as downstream metabolic products from the TG-enriched lipoproteins (liver-derived VLDL particles and their post-lipolytic remnants) by the action of two lipases, lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase. 31,32 Thus, a proportion of the core lipids—especially cholesterol esters—and the particle surface phospholipids are retained within the generated LDL particles. The actions of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein and phospholipid transfer protein further modulate the constituents of TG-rich and LDL particles 33 .…”

“…47 The region surrounding the top variant also includes the genes LIPC and AQP9. LIPC encodes hepatic lipase, which has well-known associations with lipids 48 and coronary artery disease. 49,50 LIPC has also been linked to BP and hypertension in some studies.…”
