Heparin, when administered to patients undergoing operations using cardiopulmonary bypass, induces plasma changes that gradually impair platelet macroaggregation, but heparinization of whole blood in vitro does not have this effect. The plasma changes induced by heparin in vivo continue to progress in whole blood ex vivo. Heparin releases several endothelial proteins, including lipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase, platelet factor-4 and superoxide dismutase. These enzymes, which remain active in plasma ex vivo, may impair platelet macroaggregation after in vivo heparinization and during cardiopulmonary bypass. In the present study, proteins were added in vitro to hirudin (200units·ml-1)-anticoagulated blood from healthy volunteers, and the platelet macroaggregatory responses to ex vivo stimulation with collagen (0.6μg·ml-1) were assessed by whole-blood impedance aggregometry. Over a 4h period, human lipoprotein lipase and human hepatic lipase reduced the platelet macroaggregatory response from 17.0±2.3 to 1.5±1.3 and 1.2±0.6Ω respectively (means±S.D.) (both P<0.01; n = 6). Other lipoprotein lipases also impaired platelet macroaggregation, but platelet factor-4 and superoxide dismutase did not. Platelet macroaggregation showed an inverse linear correlation with plasma concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids (r2 = 0.69; two-sided P<0.0001; n = 8), suggesting that heparin-induced lipolysis inhibits platelet macroaggregation. Lipoprotein degradation products may cause this inhibition by interfering with eicosanoids and other lipid mediators of metabolism.

The stereochemical course of in vivo hydrolysis of triacylglycerols by lipoprotein lipase was investigated by determining the structure of diacylglycerol intermediates in postheparin plasma of rats which had been fed [3H]glycerol-labeled Intralipid 2 h before an injection of heparin or had been given an injection of a mixture of [3H]glycerol-Intralipid and heparin. During the clearance of both the natural chylomicrons and the artificial emulsion, sn-2,3-diacylglycerols (60–80%) were found to be the dominant enantiomers. Similar results were obtained when the contribution of the hepatic lipase was altered, either by tying off the mesentery artery and portal vein before injection of heparin, or by injection of heparin directly into the portal vein. These findings are consistent with a preferential release of the acyl group from the sn-1 position of the triacylglycerol molecule as demonstrated previously in vitro. A preferential orientation of the substrate in the enzyme–substrate complex or at the oil–water interface is discussed as a possible basis for these effects.

Intravenous Injections

The polycation protamine impedes the catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and this has been suggested to be due to intravascular inactivation of lipoprotein lipase. We have made intravenous injections of protamine to rats and found that both lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities were released to plasma. The effect of protamine was more short-lived than that obtained by injection of heparin. The release of hepatic lipase by protamine was as effective as the release by heparin, while the amount of lipoprotein lipase released by protamine was only about one-tenth of that released by heparin. This was not due to inactivation of lipoprotein lipase, since injection of an excess of heparin 10 min after injection of protamine released as much lipoprotein lipase activity to plasma as in controls. The results in vivo differed from those obtained in model experiments in vitro. Protamine was able to almost quantitatively release both lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase from columns of heparin-agarose. The displacement was dependent on the total amount of protamine that had passed over the column, indicating that it was due to occupation by protamine of all available binding sites. Our results in vivo showed that the binding sites for lipoprotein lipase were not blocked as efficiently as those for hepatic lipase, indicating that the binding structures were not identical. It was concluded that the impaired turnover of lipoproteins by protamine probably was due to prevention of binding of the lipoproteins to endothelial cell surfaces rather than to impaired lipase function.

ZusammenfassungIn vivo bewirkt Heparin das Auftreten einer Lipoprotein-Lipase, einer Diaminoxydase (Histaminase) und anderer Enzyme. In Tierversuchen konnten viele günstige Wirkungen von Heparin und Heparinoiden aufgezeigt werden, wie z.B. Schutzeffekte gegen toxische Medikamente und Prozeduren, gegen Überempfindlichkeitsreaktionen, Änderungen von Hormoneffekten und die Erhöhung der negativen elektrischen Ladung von Körperzellen. Die Einzelwirkungen sind für bestimmte Kettenstrukturen spezifisch. Während Heparin in vitro gerinnungshemmend wirksam ist, zeigt der Vergleich der gerinnungshemmenden Wirkung in der Blutzirkulation mit der chemischen Konzentration im Blut, daß in vivo eine Aktivierung von nicht gerinnungshemmend aktiven Fraktionen bzw. Heparinketten erfolgt. Heparin wird rasch von den Zellen des RES-Systems gegen einen Konzentrationsgradienten aufgenommen, so daß in vivo die Heparinkonzentration im Gefäßendothel lOOOfach höher ist als im Blut.Die Fixierung des Heparins im Endothel vermehrt das elektronegative Potential des Endothels. Diese Wirkung und andere Wirkungen (die Aktivierung von Antithrombin III etc.) sind lokal die Basis der thromboseverhütenden Heparinwirkung. Demnach ist das Endothel das Zielorgan für Heparin.

Adipocytes constitute a major part of the bone marrow stroma in vivo and may play an active role in lymphohematopoiesis. Earlier studies had shown that the bone marrow stromal cell clone BMS2 was capable of adipocyte differentiation in vitro, in addition to its well-defined ability to support B lymphopoiesis. We now demonstrate that the process of adipogenesis in this functional bone marrow stromal cell clone can be inhibited by the cytokines interleukin-1 alpha, tumor necrosis factor, and transforming growth factor beta. Exposure of preadipocyte BMS2 cells to these agents blocked the induction of adipocyte differentiation as assessed by morphologic criteria and analysis of the neutral lipid content. Both interleukin-1 alpha and tumor necrosis factor elicited a rapid transient elevation in the steady-state mRNA levels of c-fos, c-jun, and JE. When added to differentiated adipocytes, the three cytokines continued to act as adipogenic antagonists. This was indicated by concentration- and time-dependent decreases in the activity of an adipocyte-specific enzyme, lipoprotein lipase. These changes in enzyme activity correlated directly with a decrease in steady-state levels of lipoprotein lipase mRNA. Another RNA marker of adipocyte differentiation (adipsin) was less influenced by the adipogenic antagonists. This may reflect the longer half-life of this mRNA transcript compared with those of lipoprotein lipase. Our results dramatically demonstrate that the differentiation state of bone marrow stromal cells can be modulated by exogenous factors in vitro. It is also the first report that transformation growth factor beta regulates the activity of lipoprotein lipase. These data suggest potential physiologic actions for these cytokines in vivo within the overall context of lymphohematopoiesis.

Cardiac muscle utilizes multiple sources of energy including glucose and fatty acid (FA). The heart cannot synthesize FA and relies on obtaining it from other sources, with lipoprotein lipase (LPL) breakdown of lipoproteins suggested to be a key source of FA for cardiac use. Recent work has indicated that cardiac vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGFB) overexpression expands the coronary vasculature and facilitates metabolic reprogramming that favours glucose utilization. We wanted to explore whether this influence of VEGFB on cardiac metabolism involves regulation of LPL activity with consequent effects on lipotoxicity and insulin signalling. The transcriptomes of rats with and without cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of human VEGFB were compared by using RNA-sequencing. Isolated perfused hearts or cardiomyocytes incubated with heparin were used to enable measurement of LPL activity. Untargeted metabolomic analysis was performed for quantification of cardiac lipid metabolites. Cardiac insulin sensitivity was evaluated using fast-acting insulin. Isolated heart and cardiomyocytes were used to determine transgene-encoded VEGFB isoform secretion patterns and mitochondrial oxidative capacity using high-resolution respirometry and extracellular flux analysis. In vitro, primary transgenic cardiomyocytes incubated overnight and thus exposed to abundantly secreted VEGFB isoforms in the absence of any in vivo confounding regulators of cardiac metabolism demonstrated higher basal oxygen consumption. In the whole heart, VEGFB overexpression induced an angiogenic response that was accompanied by limited cardiac LPL activity through multiple mechanisms. This was associated with a lowered accumulation of lipid intermediates, diacylglycerols and lysophosphatidylcholine, that are known to influence insulin action. In response to exogenous insulin, transgenic hearts demonstrated increased insulin sensitivity. In conclusion, the interrogation of VEGFB function on cardiac metabolism uncovered an intriguing and previously unappreciated effect to lower LPL activity and prevent lipid metabolite accumulation to improve insulin action. VEGFB could be a potential cardioprotective therapy to treat metabolic disorders, for example diabetes.

Chylomicron Remnants

The aims of the present study were to evaluate the metabolism of chylomicrons (CM) and of CM remnants after labelling with radioactive iodine and converting the iodinated CM into remnants in vitro. Lymph CM were radiolabelled with 125I or sham-labelled with 127I by either the ICl procedure or the tyramine-cellobiose (TC) procedure, then injected into rats. The clearance from plasma of the iodinated CM was compared with control non-iodinated lipid-labelled CM. After iodination with ICl, the plasma removal of endogenously labelled CM was significantly different from non-iodinated CM, with increased uptake of CM triacylglycerols by the liver. In contrast, the clearances from plasma and the uptake by organs of radiolabelled lipids of CM iodinated by the TC method (TC-CM) were similar to control CM. About 40% of the label from 125I-TC-CM was insoluble in 50% propan-2-ol, indicating association with CM apolipoprotein B48. Only about 8% of label was lipid soluble, mostly in phosphatidylethanolamine. Radioactivity from 125I-TC-CM injected intravenously in rats was cleared rapidly and by 30 min only 20% remained in plasma, whereas 48% was recovered in the liver. After fractionation of the plasma by density-gradient ultracentrifugation, most label remained associated with d (relative density) less than 1.006 lipoproteins. In intact rats label was also found associated with the low-density and high-density lipoprotein fractions of plasma. When the liver was excluded from circulation, the recovery of label in low-density- and high-density-lipoprotein fractions was greatly decreased. CM remnants were prepared in vivo by injecting 125I-TC-CM into functionally hepatectomized donors and compared with remnants prepared in vitro by incubation with purified bovine milk lipoprotein lipase. Although remnants prepared in vitro cleared from plasma slower than remnants prepared in vivo, the size, lipid composition and apolipoprotein profile on gradient PAGE of the remnants were similar. We conclude that labelling of CM by the TC method avoided the ‘artefactual’ changes in metabolism seen after labelling by the ICl procedure. CM remnants when prepared in vitro using lipoprotein lipase were found to be similar to those prepared in vivo after injection into functionally hepatectomized rats.

The accumulation of cholesterol-rich beta-very-low-density lipoproteins (beta-VLDL) in the plasma of rabbits fed on a high-fat high-cholesterol diet is due to a defect in the clearance of these lipoprotein remnants from circulation by the liver. In view of the evidence that hepatic lipase participates in the process of rapid removal of remnants from circulation, and considering that rabbits are naturally deficient in hepatic lipase, we examined whether this defect in the clearance of beta-VLDL could be reversed by exogenous hepatic lipase. We report that treatment in vitro of [3H]cholesterol-labelled beta-VLDL, or rat chylomicrons, with hepatic lipase resulted in the formation of particles that were rapidly cleared from circulation by the liver when injected intravenously into hypercholesterolaemic rabbits. These results are consistent with the notion that, in addition to the well-established requirement for lipoprotein lipase activity, the generation of remnants capable of being efficiently taken up by the liver also requires the action of hepatic lipase. Lipoprotein lipase acts on triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins to transform them into particles (remnants) which bind to the surface of liver cells, where they become accessible to hepatic lipase. Hepatocyte endocytosis of these remnants occurs only after further modification by hepatic lipase. According to this scheme, the results presented suggest that the accumulation of beta-VLDL in the circulation of rabbits fed on a high-fat high-cholesterol diet is the result of the saturation of the available hepatic lipase by abnormally high levels of lipoprotein-lipase-generated chylomicron remnants.
