Localization and function of myocardial lipolysis.

W C Hülsmann, H Stam, H Jansen

    Basic Research in Cardiology

    Summary

    Mobilizing stored heart cell triacylglycerol involves multiple lipases, with extracellular lipoprotein lipase (LPL) crucial for uptake. Glycerol is not a reliable marker for lipid mobilization or fatty acid oxidation in heart cells.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Cardiovascular Science

    Background:

    • Triacylglycerol (TAG) stored in heart cells is a vital energy source.
    • Lipid mobilization from cardiac stores is complex, involving multiple enzymatic pathways.
    • Understanding these pathways is crucial for metabolic health and disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the enzymes involved in cardiac triacylglycerol mobilization.
    • To investigate the role of extracellular lipases, particularly lipoprotein lipase (LPL), in heart cells.
    • To assess the utility of glycerol as a marker for cardiac lipid metabolism.

    Main Methods:

    • Enzyme activity assays to identify lipases.
    • Cellular localization studies for enzyme distribution.
    • Analysis of lipolysis end-products to evaluate metabolic flux.

    Main Results:

    • Cardiac triacylglycerol mobilization is mediated by lysosomal acid lipase and microsomal enzymes.
    • Non-heparin-releasable neutral/alkaline lipase shares characteristics with extracellular lipoprotein lipase (LPL).
    • Extracellular LPL, likely in endothelium or interstitium, facilitates lipoprotein constituent uptake by heart cells.
    • Glycerol is not a reliable indicator of net lipid mobilization or fatty acid oxidation due to its dual intra- and extracellular formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Cardiac lipid mobilization is a multi-step process involving both intracellular and extracellular lipases.
    • Extracellular LPL plays a significant role in providing substrates for cardiac energy metabolism.
    • Glycerol measurements alone are insufficient to accurately assess cardiac lipid mobilization and utilization.
