Perilipin (Peri) A is a phosphoprotein located at the surface of intracellular lipid droplets in adipocytes. Activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) results in the phosphorylation of Peri A and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), the predominant lipase in adipocytes, with concurrent stimulation of adipocyte lipolysis. To investigate the relative contributions of Peri A and HSL in basal and PKA-mediated lipolysis, we utilized NIH 3T3 fibroblasts lacking Peri A and HSL but stably overexpressing acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACS1) and fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1). When incubated with exogenous fatty acids, ACS1/FATP1 cells accumulated 5 times more triacylglycerol (TG) as compared with NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Adenoviral-mediated expression of Peri A in ACS1/FATP1 cells enhanced TG accumulation and inhibited lipolysis, whereas expression of HSL fused to green fluorescent protein (GFPHSL) reduced TG accumulation and enhanced lipolysis. Forskolin treatment induced Peri A hyperphosphorylation and abrogated the inhibitory effect of Peri A on lipolysis. Expression of a mutated Peri ADelta 3 (Ser to Ala substitutions at PKA consensus sites Ser-81, Ser-222, and Ser-276) reduced Peri A hyperphosphorylation and blocked constitutive and forskolin-stimulated lipolysis. Thus, perilipin expression and phosphorylation state are critical regulators of lipid storage and hydrolysis in ACS1/FATP1 cells.

Adipocytes are the major reservoir of energy stored in the form of triacylglycerol (TG).1 TG is stored within intracellular lipid droplets, from which it can be rapidly mobilized. It is thought that the hydrolysis of stored TG in adipocytes is regulated primarily by hormones such as catecholamines, which activate cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). PKA phosphorylates and activates hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), the major hormonally regulated lipase in adipocytes (1, 2). HSL hydrolyzes TG at the surface of intracellular lipid droplets (3-5). The perilipins, a family of phosphoproteins, are also specifically located at the surface of the lipid droplet (6, 7). Perilipins are believed to inhibit the actions of lipases on intracellular lipid, perhaps acting as a barrier to lipase access (8-11). Upon catecholamine stimulation, Peri A is hyperphosphorylated by PKA (7, 12), and this hyperphosphorylation has been suggested to facilitate lipase access to the lipid droplet (10, 13). Analysis of the predicted protein sequence of Peri A, the most abundant perilipin isoform in adipocytes (7, 14) indicates the presence of six consensus PKA phosphorylation sites (RRXSX; RXSX) (15, 16).

To dissect the relative roles of Peri A, HSL, and PKA in regulating intracellular lipid hydrolysis, we used ACS1/FATP1, a previously established cell line of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts stably transfected with long chain ACS1 and FATP1 (17). Both of these proteins have been shown to increase long chain fatty acid (FA) import when expressed in mammalian cells (17, 18). Although the exact mechanism of FA transport remains the subject of active investigation, ACS1 and possibly FATP1 contribute to formation of acyl-CoA esters upon cellular FA import (19, 20). These esterified fatty acids can then be directed to diverse metabolic fates such as TG synthesis. The present study demonstrates that in the ACS1/FATP1 cells, the exogenous fatty acids are stored within lipid droplets as TG. This accumulation of TG makes the ACS1/FATP1 cells a useful model for elucidating the relative roles of adenovirally expressed Peri A and HSL in constitutive and PKA-mediated lipolysis.

Materials-- [1-14C]oleic acids (50 mCi/mmol) were purchased from Amersham Biosciences, Inc. NIH 3T3 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA). Silica gel 60 plates were from Merck Research Laboratory. A specific polyclonal anti-rabbit Peri A antibody (PREK antibody) was generated using the peptide PREKPARRVSDSFFRPSVC. A polyclonal anti-HSL antibody was generated using a peptide based upon the rat HSL sequence KDLSFKGNSEPSDSPEM. Antibodies were subsequently affinity-purified and used for Western blotting (1:1500). A polyclonal anti-adipocyte differentiation-related protein (ADRP) antibody was generated using a peptide based upon the mouse ADRP sequence ATEVNKASLKVQQSEVKAQ. Antibodies were subsequently affinity-purified and used for Western blotting (1:1000). Phosphoserine antibody (1:1000) was purchased from Zymed Laboratories Inc. All other chemicals were purchased from Sigma. Tissue culture media was purchased from Invitrogen.

Cell Culture and FA Loading-- The NIH 3T3 ACS1/FATP1 stable cell line was generated as described previously (17). For FA uptake assays, cells were seeded in 12-well plates, grown to confluence in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and 45 mM glucose supplemented with 10% calf serum, and transduced with adenoviruses (as described below), followed by incubation for 48 h with 0.4 µCi/ml [14C]oleic acid in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium + 5 mM glucose containing 10% calf serum and 1% fatty acid-free albumin bound to palmitic and oleic acid (120 µM of each). Incubation was terminated by discarding the labeling media and washing the cells with phosphate-buffered saline.

Mutagenesis and Generation of Recombinant Adenovirus-- Mutagenesis of putative PKA recognition sites was carried out using Muta-Gene Phagemid in Vitro Mutagenesis version 2 (Bio-Rad). Primers used for mutagenesis of serine to alanine residue for the first three amino-terminal PKA recognition sites in Peri A were as follows: serine 81, PKA1 (5'-GTCCGTCGGCTGGCCACCCAGTTCACAGC); serine 222, PKA2 (5'-TTTTGAGGAGGGTCGCCACCCTGGCCAACACTC); and serine 276, PKA3 (5'-CCCGGCGGCAGGCTGAGGTGC). The presence of the three mutations (Peri ADelta 3) was confirmed by sequencing, and the cDNA was used to generate adenovirus Peri ADelta 3. Adenoviruses beta -galactosidase and Peri A (Ad Peri A) were generated as described previously (21). Adenoviruses expressing the Aequoria victoria green fluorescent protein and GFPHSL were generated by the two-cosmid system (22). Briefly, plasmid pEGFP-HSL was constructed by inserting a HindIII-KpnI fragment containing rat HSL cDNA into HindIII-KpnI opened pEGFPC1 (Ad GFPHSL) (CLONTECH). An EcoIII47-KpnI-blunted fragment containing the sequence for GFPHSL was subcloned into SmaI-treated pLEP-hCMV, a derivative of pLEP3 (22). Adenoviruses were amplified in HEK 293 cells and purified and concentrated to 1012 plaque-forming units/ml by CsCl ultracentrifugation. Cells were transduced by incubation with LipofectAMINE Plus (Invitrogen) for 3 h at a multiplicity of infection of 1000 plaque-forming units/cell. Adenoviruses expressing either green fluorescent protein or beta -galactosidase were used as controls (Ad control). All adenoviruses used contained a cytomegalovirus promoter to express the cloned cDNA.

Lipid Analysis-- Cells were washed with cold phosphate-buffered saline, and lipids were extracted by two 15-min incubations with 250 µl of hexane:isopropanol (3:2, v/v) at 4 °C. Solvent-containing lipid was dried at room temperature, and lipids were dissolved in 50 µl of chloroform. [14C]Triacylglycerol oleate was resolved by TLC using heptane:diethyl ether:glacial acetic acid (90:30:1, v/v/v) and visualized by iodine (23). 14C-labeled TG spots were cut into vials and counted in a liquid scintillation counter. TG is expressed in nmol/mg protein and represents the average of triplicate values.

Lipolysis-- NIH 3T3 ACS1/FATP1 cells were transduced with Ad control or Ad GFPHSL as described above. The next day, cells were transduced with Ad control or Ad Peri A, followed by incubation with FAs. 48 h later, cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline and treated for 4 h in the absence or presence of 20 µM forskolin in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium + 5 mM glucose + 2% FA-free bovine serum albumin. Media were collected, and glycerol was measured as an index of lipolysis. Glycerol content of the incubation medium was determined using a colorimetric assay (GPO-Trinder; Sigma).

Western Analysis-- After lipid extraction, proteins were extracted as described previously (21) and quantified using the BCA protein assay (Pierce). Total lysates (20 µg/sample) were separated in 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred electrophoretically to nitrocellulose membranes, and blotted as described previously (21).

Immunofluorescence-- For determination of Peri A immunofluorescence, cells were cultured in 35-mm coverslip-bottomed dishes (MatTek Corp., Ashland, MA) and infected as described above. After treatment, cells were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde for 10 min, washed, and treated with anti-Peri A polyclonal antibody (PREK antibody; 1:100 dilution) and a donkey anti-rabbit Cy-5-labeled antibody (Jackson Immunoresearch). Neutral lipids were stained with Nile red (1 µM) (Molecular Probes) (24). Cy-5 fluorescence imaging was assessed as described previously (25).

Statistical Analysis-- Data are expressed as the mean + S.E. Data were analyzed by using three-way analysis of variance with the presence or absence of forskolin, Ad GFPHSL, and Ad Peri A as study factors. Treatment effects were considered statistically significant if the attained significance levels (p values) were <= 0.05. When there were no statistically significant interactions between forskolin, Ad GFPHSL, and Ad PeriA, the overall (main) effects of each treatment were examined. When interactions were detected, two approaches were considered. First, the effect of one factor was examined in the presence and absence of the other factors. Second, different combinations of factors were regarded as distinct treatments in a one-way analysis of variance, and differences between these treatment means were evaluated post hoc by using the Tukey's honestly significant differences procedure for multiple comparisons. All analyses were performed by using SYSTAT version 9.01 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL).

Fatty Acid Loading Increases TG Accumulation in NIH 3T3 ACS1/FATP1 Cells-- Previous studies demonstrated that overexpression of both ACS1 and FATP1 in NIH 3T3 cells resulted in a 25-fold increase in FA uptake (17). To determine the fate of the FAs inside the cell, NIH 3T3 and NIH 3T3 ACS1/FATP1 cells were incubated with 14C-labeled FAs for 48 h. Analysis of the neutral lipids formed demonstrated that the vast majority of the incubated oleate and palmitate was incorporated into TG (>95%; data not shown) in both cell lines and that ACS1/FATP1 cells accumulated 5-fold more TG than parental NIH 3T3 cells (Fig. 1). These results demonstrate that FA loading increased TG accumulation in ACS1/FATP1 cells.

Fig. 1.   FA loading increases accumulation of TG in NIH 3T3 ACS1/FATP1 cells. NIH 3T3 and NIH 3T3 ACS1/FATP1 cells were incubated for 48 h with 0.4 µCi of [14C]oleic acid and 1% FA-free bovine serum albumin bound to palmitic and oleic acid (120 µM of each). TG mass was determined by total lipid extraction of cells followed by TLC analyses. Data are expressed as the means + S.E. (n = 4 experiments performed in triplicate).

Fatty Acid Loading Increases ADRP and Adenovirally Expressed Peri A-- To understand the mechanisms involved in TG accumulation, we examined the endogenous expression of the perilipins and ADRP, a ubiquitous lipid droplet marker. ADRP localizes to the surface of lipid droplets and is thought to have a role in regulating lipid droplet metabolism (26-29). Immunoblot analysis revealed that ACS1/FATP1 cells expressed ADRP at low levels in the absence of FAs and at ~10-fold greater levels when cells were incubated with FAs for 48 h (Fig. 2, lanes 1 and 2). In contrast, ACS1/FATP1 cells did not express endogenous Peri A (Fig. 2, lanes 1 and 2) or Peri B (data not shown) in the presence or absence of FAs. ACS1/FATP1 cells were therefore transduced with Ad Peri A. Western blotting of protein lysates revealed that in the absence of FA loading, Peri A expression was easily detectable as compared with nontransduced cells (Fig. 2, lane 1 versus lane 3). An additional ~4-fold increase in the level of Peri A expression was observed in cells loaded with FAs (Fig. 2, lane 3 versus lane 4). Peri A expression was associated with decreased expression of ADRP to levels comparable with those observed in the absence of FAs. Although FA loading and Peri A expression altered ADRP protein expression, Northern analyses showed that neither incubation with FAs for 48 h nor Peri A expression altered ADRP mRNA (data not shown). Our observation of decreased ADRP protein levels with Peri A expression is the converse of increased ADRP expression in adipocytes of mice with a targeted disruption of the perilipin gene (11). The above observations demonstrate that ACS1/FATP1 cells are a suitable model to investigate the role of Peri A in lipolysis.

ACS1/FATP1 cells (lanes 1 and 2) and ACS1/FATP1 cells transduced with Ad Peri A (lanes 3 and 4) were incubated in the presence (lanes 2 and 4) or absence (lanes 1 and 3) of albumin-coupled palmitic and oleic acid (120 µM of each). After 48 h, cell lysates were collected and immunoblotted using antibodies against perilipins or ADRP. Data shown are representative of four experiments.

Adenovirus Expression of Peri A Increases TG Accumulation-- To determine the effects of Peri A expression on lipid content, ACS1/FATP1 cells were transduced with Ad control or Ad Peri A. After infection, cells were incubated in media with albumin-bound FAs for 48 h, followed by 48 h without FAs. TLC analyses of cellular lipids extracted from cells demonstrated a ~2-fold increase in TG accumulation in cells expressing Peri A (p < 0.001) as compared with control cells (Fig. 3A). Western blotting analyses of cell lysates demonstrated that Peri A expression was present in Ad Peri A-transduced cells as compared with Ad control-transduced cells (Fig. 3B). ADRP levels decreased (~70%) with expression of Peri A. Therefore, Peri A expression in ACS1/FATP1 cells results in increased TG accumulation.

Data shown are representative of seven experiments.

Co-localization of Peri A and Neutral Lipids in ACS1/FATP1 Cells-- To determine the subcellular localization of expressed Peri A, ACS1/FATP1 cells were transduced with either Ad control or Ad Peri A and loaded with FAs for 48 h (Fig. 4). Simultaneous fluorescent detection of Peri A and neutral lipids, using a specific Peri A antiserum (green fluorescence) and Nile red (red fluorescence) to stain neutral lipids, allowed us to correlate immunoreactivity with intracellular structure. These studies demonstrated that Peri A is located at the surface of the lipid droplet. Cells expressing Peri A had more Nile red fluorescence located in bigger and more numerous droplets than in control cells, consistent with the increased TG demonstrated biochemically. The clusters of droplets appeared to be distributed throughout the cell. In the majority of cells, Peri A immunostaining around the droplet did not appear to be evenly distributed in a ring-like fashion on the droplet surface; in fact, Peri A immunoreactivity often appeared somewhat patchy in its distribution. In summary, Peri A expression increased lipid droplet size and the number of droplets.

Fig. 4.   Immunofluorescence of Ad Peri A-transduced cells demonstrates the localization of Peri A to the lipid droplet. ACS1/FATP1 cells transduced with Ad control or Ad Peri A were incubated in media with albumin-bound FAs for 48 h. Cells were fixed, neutral lipids were stained with Nile red (red), and immunofluorescence analyses were performed using a specific Peri A antibody (green fluorescence). Data are representative of five experiments.

Interactions between Peri A, HSL, and cAMP Activation to Regulate Lipid Hydrolysis-- To further characterize the role of Peri A in regulating lipid hydrolysis, ACS1/FATP1 cells were transduced with either Ad control, Ad GFPHSL, Ad Peri A, or combinations of these different adenoviruses (see "Experimental Procedures"). These cells were then incubated with FAs for 48 h. The FAs were then removed from the media, and the cells were incubated for an additional 4 h in the absence or presence of 20 µM forskolin. Glycerol in the media was assayed to quantitate cellular lipolysis. Western blotting analyses of cell lysates (Fig. 5A) using HSL antiserum demonstrated that ACS1/FATP1 cells do not express endogenous HSL, whereas cells transduced with Ad GFPHSL showed a band of 111 kDa, consistent with the predicted size of the GFPHSL fusion protein (Fig. 5A, lanes 3, 4, 7, and 8). Likewise, using Peri-A antisera, endogenous Peri A expression was not observed in ACS1/FATP1 cells, but Ad Peri A-transduced cells expressed a 62-kDa band that increased to 65 kDa with forskolin treatment (Fig. 5A, lanes 5 and 7 versus lanes 6 and 8). The alterations in Peri A migration in SDS-PAGE have been previously demonstrated to be due to hyperphosphorylation by PKA (7, 12).

Glycerol accumulation in the media was assayed in the absence and presence of a 4-h forskolin treatment (n = 9-12 experiments, each performed in triplicate). For details, see "Experimental Procedures." In the absence of forskolin: *, p = 0.03, Ad Peri A versus Ad control and Ad Peri A + Ad GFPHSL versus Ad control; **, p = 0.03, Ad GFPHSL versus Ad control; and ***, p = 0.0002, Ad GFPHSL + Ad Peri A versus Ad GFPHSL. Delta , p < 0.0001, forskolin-stimulated increase in lipolysis versus nonstimulated cells.

Ad Peri A-transduced cells incubated with FAs accumulated ~45% more TG than Ad control-transduced cells (p = 0.03, analysis of variance), consistent with the notion that Peri A can impede the hydrolysis of TG by non-HSL lipases (Fig. 5B). Expression of GFPHSL reduced TG accumulation by ~40% as compared with control cells (p = 0.03, analysis of variance). However, the combined expression of Peri A and GFPHSL significantly increased TG accumulation as compared with GFPHSL alone (~72%; p = 0.0002, analysis of variance). It is likely that Peri A expression significantly blocks the effects of the unknown, endogenous lipase in ACS1/FATP1 cells and the effects of HSL to reduce TG accumulation.

The extent of lipolysis in ACS1/FATP1 cells was determined by measuring glycerol release after the removal of the FAs from the media. Infection with Ad Peri A lowered basal (absence of forskolin) glycerol release by 38% as compared with cells infected with Ad control (p = 0.03) (Fig. 5C). Expression of Ad GFPHSL increased basal lipolysis by 32% as compared with control cells (p = 0.03). The combination of Peri A and GFPHSL reduced the rate of lipolysis by ~45% as compared with GFPHSL alone (p = 0.0002). We did not detect any significant effect of forskolin treatment on glycerol release in Ad control- or Ad GFPHSL-transduced cells. Forskolin-stimulated lipolysis was increased as compared with non-stimulated cells in ACS1/FATP1 cells expressing Peri A (p < 0.0001). The forskolin-mediated increase in lipolysis was more robust in cells expressing both Peri A and GFPHSL as compared with cells expressing Peri A alone (242% versus 200%, respectively; p = 0.03). Essentially, forskolin abrogated the ability of Peri A to block the lipolytic effects of the endogenous lipase(s) and GFPHSL. In summary, expression of Peri A significantly blocked lipolysis in ACSI/FATP1 cells, and PKA reversed the actions of Peri A on lipolysis. In addition, a significant effect of forskolin on lipolysis was observed in ACS1/FATP1 cells only when Peri A was expressed.

Mutation of the Three Amino-terminal PKA Recognition Sites of Peri A Decreases Forskolin-stimulated Lipolysis-- To further characterize the role of Peri A in PKA-mediated lipolysis, we mutated the amino-terminal PKA sites (16) (Fig. 6A; Ser-81, Ser-222, and Ser-276) in Peri A from serines to alanines (Peri ADelta 3). These three PKA sites are common to both Peri A and Peri B, the major forms of perilipin expressed in adipocytes. Peri ADelta 3 was cloned into an adenovirus and expressed in ACS1/FATP1 cells. Cells co-expressing GFPHSL and Peri A or Peri ADelta 3 accumulated similar levels of TG in response to FA loading (Peri A + GFPHSL, 6.2 + 1.3 nmol TG/mg protein; Peri ADelta 3 + GFPHSL, 6.5 + 1.8 nmol TG/mg protein; n = 4 in triplicate). As observed earlier with Peri A, expression of Peri ADelta 3 down-regulated ADRP protein expression, and confocal microscopy demonstrated that the Peri ADelta 3 protein localized to the surface of lipid droplets (data not shown). We next compared lipolysis in cells expressing GFPHSL and Peri A versus the rate of lipolysis in cells expressing GFPHSL and Peri ADelta 3. The rate of basal (without forskolin) lipolysis was not significantly different in ACS1/FATP1 cells expressing GFPHSL and Peri A as compared with cells expressing GFPHSL and Peri ADelta 3 (Fig. 6B). Again we observed that forskolin significantly increased lipolysis, as compared with basal lipolysis, in cells expressing both Peri A and GFPHSL (Fig. 6B; p < 0.0001). However, when we co-expressed Peri ADelta 3 protein and GFPHSL in ACS1/FATP1 cells, forskolin treatment did not significantly increase lipolysis as compared with basal lipolysis. Previously, it was hypothesized that phosphorylation of the PKA consensus sites in carboxyl-terminal Peri A (Ser-433, Ser-494, and Ser-517) (Fig. 6A) caused Peri A to migrate slower in SDS-PAGE as a 65-kDa protein (15). Both Peri A and Peri ADelta 3 migrated to 65 kDa with forskolin treatment, consistent with activation of PKA-stimulated lipolysis and the fact that that the carboxyl-terminal PKA sites were not mutated in either protein (Fig. 6C). We next examined the effects of PKA activation on phosphoserine content in Peri A and Peri ADelta 3 when co-expressed with GFPHSL in ACS1/FATP1 cells. Experiments demonstrated that in the absence of Peri A expression, we could not detect any significant amount of phosphoserine immunoreactivity in the 60-65-kDa regions of ACS1/FATP1 cells (data not shown). When Peri A was expressed and cells were treated with forskolin, phosphoserine immunoreactivity was significantly increased at 65 kDa, similar to prior observations in adipocytes (30) (Fig. 6C). In contrast with forskolin treatment, the phosphoserine content of the Peri ADelta 3 protein was significantly reduced as compared with that of Peri A. The reduction in phosphoserine content was consistent with substitution of alanine for serine in the three amino-terminal PKA sites in Peri ADelta 3 (Fig. 6C). The slight increase in Peri ADelta 3 phosphoserine content, as compared with untreated cells, corresponds to phosphorylation of the remaining three PKA recognition sites. In this study, we were able to demonstrate that PKA phosphorylation of Peri A regulates the protein's actions to modulate lipolysis in response to PKA activation.

Stimulation of adipocyte lipolysis by PKA is the critical pathway by which the body increases fatty acids in physiologic states such as fasting (31, 32). PKA phosphorylates HSL, resulting in modest (~2-fold) increases in HSL activity (33). Perhaps more importantly, phosphorylated HSL translocates to the surface of intracellular lipid droplets (3-5), where perilipins reside (6, 7). Peri A is the major PKA substrate in adipocytes (7, 12). Using adenovirally engineered ACS1/FATP1 cells, we are able for the first time to directly assess the individual contributions of Peri A, HSL, and PKA to modulation of TG accumulation and breakdown. Our data demonstrate the importance of Peri A in regulating constitutive and PKA-stimulated lipolysis in ACS1/FATP1 cells. Moreover, our studies elucidate the critical role of Peri A phosphorylation state in PKA-stimulated lipolysis.

In the ACS1/FATP1 cell model, Peri A expression increased TG accumulation and reduced lipolysis. Our data in ACS1/FATP1 cells are consistent with and extend the report by Brasaemle et al. (8) that expression of Peri A in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes increased TG accumulation. Although they did not directly measure lipolysis, Brasaemle et al. (8) found that Peri A decreased the rate of TG turnover, suggesting that perilipins block the actions of lipases. Preadipocytes, like ACS1/FATP1 cells, do not express HSL, and in both cell lines, the non-HSL lipase(s) that hydrolyzes TG is unknown. Consistent with our results, other laboratories have suggested that a neutral long chain lipase is present in fibroblasts and is not HSL (34). The identity of the lipase in fibroblasts is not known at the present time. We now find that expression of Peri A reduces the lipolytic actions of both HSL and non-HSL lipases, resulting in reduced glycerol release and increased TG accumulation. Importantly, when GFPHSL and Peri A were co-expressed, Peri A expression did not reduce GFPHSL protein expression, thus supporting the argument that the effects of Peri A are mediated by its ability to reduce TG hydrolysis.

Expression of Peri A was necessary to demonstrate a statistically significant lipolytic response to forskolin treatment in ACS1/FATP1 cells. PKA increased lipolysis in cells expressing Peri A because it abrogated the inhibitory actions of Peri A on lipolysis. Specifically, forskolin-stimulated hyperphosphorylation of Peri A reduced its ability to block the lipolytic actions of both HSL and non-HSL lipases. In contrast, forskolin did not significantly increase lipolysis in ACS1/FATP1 cells expressing GFPHSL or untagged HSL (data not shown) in the absence of Peri A. Consistent with this observation, PKA stimulation did not increase lipolysis (glycerol/mg protein) in adipocytes from a perilipin knockout mouse (9). Thus, in both our cell model and adipocytes from Peri-null mice, perilipin was necessary to demonstrate an effect of PKA on lipolysis.

Perilipins have been proposed to modulate lipolysis by two distinct mechanisms: (i) regulation of perilipin protein expression (8-11, 21), and (ii) PKA-dependent hyperphosphorylation of perilipins (4, 7, 10, 13). In support of the former, we demonstrated previously (10, 21, 35) that a reduction in perilipin protein expression in response to tumor necrosis factor alpha  increased adipocyte lipolysis. Furthermore, maintenance of Peri A or Peri B protein levels with adenovirus overexpression blocked tumor necrosis factor alpha -stimulated lipolysis (10). However, overexpression of either perilipin isoform did not block PKA-stimulated lipolysis in these studies. We now demonstrate the role of PKA-mediated hyperphosphorylation of perilipin in regulating lipolysis. In this study, we mutated the three consensus PKA sites in Peri A that are common to both Peri A and Peri B (Fig. 6; Ser-81, Ser-222, and Ser-276) (15). When the mutant protein (Peri ADelta 3) was expressed in ACS1/FATP1 cells, like Peri A, it targeted itself to the surface of intracellular lipid droplets, increased TG accumulation, and decreased basal lipolysis. However, unlike Peri A, Peri ADelta 3 blocked PKA-stimulated lipolysis in ACS1/FATP1 cells expressing GFPHSL. Our observations with Peri ADelta 3 demonstrate that PKA-stimulated phosphorylation of Peri A is necessary to abrogate Peri A's inhibitory actions on lipolysis. Because Peri A and Peri B share the same PKA phosphorylation sites that were mutated in this study, we speculate that Peri B may also modulate PKA-stimulated lipolysis.

It is unknown how perilipins modulate lipase hydrolysis of TG. Perilipin localizes specifically to the surface of intracellular lipid droplets (6-8, 10), an observation that suggests that perilipins block (either directly or indirectly) lipase access. At the present time, it is unclear whether the perilipins physically block lipases from accessing the lipid droplet surface or alter the biophysical properties of the phospholipid monolayer surrounding lipid droplets. PKA phosphorylation of Peri A may facilitate lipase access to the lipid droplet by altering Peri A conformation and/or by causing Peri A to translocate off the lipid droplet. Studies have been presented that support both of these hypotheses (4, 10, 13, 36). Future studies will be aimed at understanding the interaction of Peri A and Peri ADelta 3 with the lipid droplet surface and HSL.
