Low density lipoprotein binding, internalization, and degradation in human adipose cells
A Angel et al. Can J Biochem. 1979 Jun.
Abstract
Human adipose tissue derives its cholesterol primarily from circulating lipoproteins. To study fat cell-lipoprotein interactions, low density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake and metabolism were examined using isolated human adipocytes. The 125I-labelled LDL (d = 1.025-1.045) was bound and incorporated by human fat cells in a dose-dependent manner with an apparent Km of 6.9 + 0.9 microgram LDL protein/mL and a Vmax of 15-80 microgram LDL protein/mg lipid per 2 h. In time-course studies, LDL uptake was characterized by rapid initial binding followed by a linear accumulation for at least 4 h. The 125I-labelled LDL degradation products (trichloroacetic acid soluble iodopeptides) accumulated in the incubation medium in a progressive manner with time. Azide and F- inhibited LDL internalization and degradation, suggesting that these processes are energy dependent. Binding and cellular internalization of 125I-labelled LDL lacked lipoprotein class specificity in that excess (25-fold) unlabelled very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) (d less than 1.006) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) (d = 1.075-1.21) inhibited binding and internalization of 125I-labelled LDL. On an equivalent protein basis HDL was the most potent. The 125I-labelled LDL binding to an adipocyte plasma membrane preparation was a saturable process and almost completely abolished by a three- to four-fold greater concentration of HDL. The binding, internalization, and degradation of LDL by human adipocytes resembled that reported by other mesenchymal cells and could account for a significant proportion of in vivo LDL catabolism. It is further suggested that adipose tissue is an important site of LDL and HDL interactions.
