Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is highly regulated by catecholamines and insulin in adipocytes. Isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic agonist, decreases LPL enzyme activity, whereas insulin increases LPL activity. We have isolated an 868-basepair rat LPL cDNA clone to assess hormone-mediated changes in LPL steady state mRNA levels and LPL gene transcription rates in adipocytes. Northern blot analysis of isoproterenol-treated (10(-6) M) adipocytes showed that LPL steady state mRNA decreased by 15 min. Nuclear run-on transcription assays in isoproterenol-treated cells indicated that LPL gene transcription was also decreased at 15 min compared to that in control cells. Conversely, insulin (6.7 x 10(-8) M) mediated an increase in LPL steady state mRNA in treated adipocytes, yet LPL gene transcription was not different from that in control cells. Thus, the isoproterenol-mediated decrease in LPL enzyme activity and steady state mRNA levels in adipocytes is associated with decreases in LPL gene transcription. Insulin, which does not affect LPL gene transcription, increases LPL enzyme activity and steady state mRNA levels. The effect of insulin on LPL mRNA is probably due to insulin-induced changes in mRNA stability.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D008071 Lipoprotein Lipase An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. The enzyme hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, and diacylglycerols. It occurs on capillary endothelial surfaces, especially in mammary, muscle, and adipose tissue. Genetic deficiency of the enzyme causes familial hyperlipoproteinemia Type I.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
