During short term fasting, lipoprotein lipase
(LPL) activity in rat adipose tissue is rapidly down-regulated. This
down-regulation occurs on a posttranslational level; it is not
accompanied by changes in LPL mRNA or protein levels. The LPL
activity can be restored within 4 h by refeeding. Previously, we
showed that during fasting there is a shift in the distribution of
lipase protein toward an inactive form with low heparin affinity. To
study the nature of the regulatory mechanism, we determined the
in vivo turnover of LPL activity,
protein mass, and mRNA in rat adipose tissue. When protein
synthesis was inhibited with cycloheximide, LPL activity and protein
mass decreased rapidly and in parallel with half-lives of around 2 h, and the effect of refeeding was blocked. This indicates that
maintaining high levels of LPL activity requires continuous synthesis
of new enzyme protein. When transcription was inhibited by actinomycin,
LPL mRNA decreased with half-lives of 13.3 and 16.8 h in the
fed and fasted states, respectively, demonstrating slow turnover of the
LPL transcript. Surprisingly, when actinomycin was given to fed rats,
LPL activity was not down-regulated during fasting, indicating that
actinomycin interferes with the transcription of a gene that blocks the
activation of newly synthesized LPL protein. When actinomycin was given
to fasted rats, LPL activity increased 4-fold within 6 h, even in
the absence of refeeding. The same effect was seen with -amanitin,
another inhibitor of transcription. The response to actinomycin was
much less pronounced in aging rats, which are obese and
insulin-resistant. These data suggest a default state where LPL protein
is synthesized on a relatively stable mRNA and is processed into
its active form. During fasting, a gene is switched on whose product
prevents the enzyme from becoming active even though synthesis of LPL
protein continues unabated.
