- The pancreatic lipase family contains three subfamilies, the 'classical' lipases and the pancreatic lipase-related proteins 1 (PLRP1) and 2 (PLRP2). Galactolipids are present in membranes of leaves and vegetables and consist of digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGalDG) monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGalDG) and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG). These lipids were incubated with PLRP2 from guinea-pig (GPLRP2) and rat (RPLRP2). In the presence of bile salts DGalDG was efficiently hydrolyzed by GPLRP2 and, although less efficiently, by RPLRP2 to digalactosylmonoacylglycerol (DGalMG), free fatty acids and water-soluble galactose-containing compounds. Also, MGalDG and SQDG were hydrolyzed by GPLRP2 and RPLRP2. These data suggest a possible role of PLRP2 in the digestion of dietary galactolipids

- Human CaCo-2 cells were incubated with [14C]linoleic (18:2(n - 6)), [14C]linolenic (18:3(n - 3)) and [3H]eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5(n - 3)), and the interconversion of the radioactive fatty acids to higher homologues and their acylation into triacylglycerols (TG) and phospholipids were examined. An active conversion of [14C]18:3 to [14C]20:5 and [14C]docosapentaenoic acid (22:5(n - 3)) and of [3H]20:5 to [3H]22:5, but not to [3H]docosahexaenoic acid (22:6(n - 3)) was observed. In relation to the amounts that had been incorporated into cellular phospholipids and TG, the interconversion of [14C]18:3 clearly exceeded that of [14C]18:2. Addition of 10-100 microM 18:2 or 10-50 microM arachidonic acid (20:4(n - 6)) increased the percent interconversion of [14C]18:2 to [14C]20:4. E.g., addition of 50 microM 20:4 increased the formation of [14C]20:4 from 4.4 +/- 0.1% to 5.9 +/- 0.8%, decreased the incorporation into phospholipids from 64.8 +/- 6.3% to 31.4 +/- 1.2% and increased the incorporation into TG from 8.8 +/- 0.4% to 28.8 +/- 1.1%. In contrast, addition of 10-100 microM 18:3 or 20:5 significantly decreased the interconversion of both [14C]18:2 and [14C]18:3. E.g., addition of 50 microM 20:5 decreased the formation of [14C]20:4 from [14C]18:2 from 4.4 +/- 0.1% to 0.9 +/- 0.1%, whereas the effects on the acylation reactions were very similar to those of 20:4. 20:5 also decreased the formation of interconversion products from [14C]18:3. 18:2 and 20:4 caused a smaller decrease in the formation of [14C]20:5 and actually increased percent conversion to [14C]22:5. The percent conversion of [3H]20:5 to [3H]22:5 was also increased by the addition of 50-100 microM unlabeled 20:5. [14C]18:2 and [14C]18:3 were predominantly incorporated into phosphatidylcholine (PC) whereas more of the radioactive 20:4, 20:5 and 22:5 was incorporated into phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). An active fatty acid interconversion catalyzed by delta 6 and delta 5 desaturases thus occurs in the human CaCo-2 cell line, whereas conversion of 20:5(n - 3) to 22:6(n - 3) could not be demonstrated. The desaturation-elongation pathway has a preference for 18:3(n - 3) and is subjected to an efficient feedback regulation by 20:5(n - 3). Formation of 22:5 increases with available 20:5 mass and by the presence of other polyunsaturated fatty acids competing with 20:5 for acylation into phospholipids.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To assess the role of human milk bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) in the digestion of polyunsaturated ester bonds of triacylglycerols, hydrolysis of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6(n − 3)) ester bonds was compared to that of oleic acid (18:1(n − 9)) or arachidonic acid (20:4(n − 6)) esters. As model substrates, we used rat chylomicrons obtained after feeding human milk fat globules and radiolabeled fatty acids. Radiolabeled chylomicrons were incubated with colipase-dependent pancreatic lipase, with BSSL, or with both enzymes in combination. Both enzymes hydrolyzed 18:1 more efficiently than 22:6 esters. With colipase-dependent lipase there was a large accumulation of 22:6 in diacylglycerol whereas with BSSL it accumulated mainly in monoacylglycerol. Esters containing 20:4 were hydrolyzed by BSSL as efficiently as 18:1 but this fatty acid also accumulated as diacylglycerol with colipase-dependent lipase. At low bile salt concentrations, as found in duodenal contents of newborns, colipase-dependent lipase was virtually unable to hydrolyze esters of 20:4 and 22:6 whereas BSSL hydrolyzed these esters at appreciable rates. Combining the two enzymes gave the most efficient hydrolysis of all fatty acids tested regardless of bile salt concentrations. BSSL may thus have a physiological role in completing duodenal hydrolysis of milk triacylglycerols containing 22:6- or 20:4-esters to free fatty acids and monoacylglycerol.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The hydrolysis of polyenoic fatty acid ester bonds with pure human colipase-dependent lipase, with carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) and with these enzymes in combination was studied, using [3H]arachidonic- and [14C]linoleic acid-labelled rat chylomicrons as a model substrate. During the hydrolysis with colipase-dependent lipase, the amount of 3H appearing in 1,2-X-diacylglycerol (DG) markedly exceeded that of 14C. When CEL was added in addition this [3H]DG was efficiently hydrolyzed. CEL alone hydrolyzed the triacylglycerol (TG) at a low rate. The hydrolysis pattern with human duodenal content was similar to that seen with colipase-dependent lipase and CEL in combination. Increasing the concentration of taurodeoxycholate (TDC) and taurocholate (TC) or of TDC alone stimulated the hydrolysis of [3H]- and [14C]TG, but increased the accumulation of labelled DG that could act as substrate for CEL. It is suggested that very-long-chain polyenoic fatty acids of DG formed during the action of the colipase-dependent lipase on TG containing these fatty acids may be a physiological substrate for CEL.

- The existence of a specific lysophospholipase in human pancreatic juice was evaluated. The proteins were separated by a series of chromatographic steps including Sephacryl S-200, cholate-Sepharose 4B, Sephadex G-100 and CM-Sephadex G-50. The enzyme activities against 1-palmitoyl lysolecithin (LL) as well as tributyrin (TB) and p-nitrophenyl butyrate (PNPB) were determined in all the fractions of these purification procedures. Enzyme activity against LL was always eluted in parallel with activities against TB and PNPB, and no unique activity against LL could be found. The specific activity against LL was 40-times lower than that against PNPB and 200-times lower than that against TB. It is concluded that there is no unique lysophospholipase in human pancreatic juice and that the hydrolysis of lysolecithin is most likely performed by carboxyl ester lipase.

- Colipase exists in pancreatic juice in a pro-form which is activated by limited trypsin hydrolysis. During this activation, the N-terminal pentapeptide 1Val-Pro-Asp-Pro-5Arg is cleaved. The new N-terminal sequence formed, 6Gly-Ile-Ile-Ile-10Asn, contains three isoleucine residues. The importance of these for stimulating lipase activity has been investigated by successive Edman degradation of epsilon-acetimidolysine residues followed by limited trypsin hydrolysis. The epsilon-amidinated colipase obtained was fully active both with a phospholipid-covered triacylglycerol (Intralipid) and tributyrin as substrate. After removal of the three isoleucine residues, the activity of colipase was lost with Intralipid but not with tributyrin as substrate. The shortened colipases regained their Intralipid activity upon addition of long-chain fatty acids. The binding of colipase to lipase was not affected by removal of the isoleucine residues.

- The effect of lymph diversion on plasma apolipoprotein A-I levels was studied. In lymph fistula rats apolipoprotein A-I levels in plasma stayed constant in spite of a loss of an equivalent of one-half plasma pool of apolipoprotein A-I per day through the lymph fistula. This indicates that synthesis of apolipoprotein A-I increases or that catabolism of apolipoprotein A-I decreases in a compensatory manner as intestinal apolipoprotein A-I is diverted. By using incorporation of [3H]leucine into newly synthesized apolipoprotein A-I it was shown that 2.6-times as much [3H]leucine was incorporated into apolipoprotein A-I in thoracic duct drained animals compared to controls. In experiments in which 125I-labeled HDL was injected intravenously into rats, it was shown that catabolism of HDL and apolipoprotein A-I was not decreased in lymph-drained rats. These data thus suggest that an increased synthesis of apolipoprotein A-I occurs when the intestinal contribution of apolipoprotein A-I diminishes. This is probably due to an increase in liver protein synthesis.

- Adsorption of different lipases by EP-100 polypropylene powder from pure and pure lipase preparations was studied. Langmuir isotherms described the adsorption equilibria well both for protein and lipase activity adsorption. Adsorption isotherms for five different proteins all gave a similar saturation level of 220 mg protein per g carrier. Twelve commercial lipase preparations were tested for selectivity in the adsorption of-lipase. For all preparations the selectivity factor was larger than one. In a crude lipase preparation from Pseudomonns fluorescence, the specific activity in solution decreased by two orders of magnitude after adsorption. The adsorption was not significantly influenced by pH changes in the adsorption buffer, indicating that hydrophobic and not electrostatic interactions are the dominating adsorption forces. Adsorption of a crude lipase from Candida rugosa (Sigma) was fast and equilibrium was reached in 30 and 100 min for protein and lipase activity adsorption respectively. Desorption in aqueous solution wag negligible. Investigations with seven different lipases showed no correlation between the specific lipolytic activity of dissolved enzyme in aqueous solution and the specific activity of adsorbed enzyme in an esterification reaction in organic solvent.

- In rat hepatocytes cultured in lipoprotein-deficient serum, the uptake and degradation of chylomicron remnant cholesteryl ester per mg cell protein varies inversely with cell density. Compactin, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-A reductase, stimulates the uptake at all cell densities. Mevalonic acid, on the other hand, can suppress a significant part of the remnant uptake. Chylomicron remnant uptake in hepatocyte cultures can thus be influenced by factors known to regulate the apolipoprotein-BE receptor activity.

- Colipase is excreted as a procolipase, colipase101. It is activated by low concentrations of trypsin, hydrolyzing the N-terminal pentapeptide. With higher concentrations of trypsin or in the presence of Ca2+ a smaller form of colipase containing 85 amino acids, appears. It has glycine as the N-terminal and arginine as the C-terminal amino acid residue and has lost 11 amino acids in the C-terminal chain. The ability of colipase85 to activate lipase with tributyrin as substrate is about the same as for colipase96 and procolipase. With fenfluramine, an anoretic agent, added to the tributyrin colipase assay system, the specific activities of colipase96 and colipase85 are similar and about five times higher than that of colipase101. With intralipid as substrate colipase85 enables lipase to reach the triacylglycerol substrate more rapidly than colipase96, having about six times shorter lagtime for a given concentration. Colipase84, obtained by splitting off the C-terminal arginine from colipase85, has a lagtime somewhere between colipase85 and colipase96, pointing to the importance of arginine85 for Intralipid activity. The binding between lipase and colipase has about the same strength for procolipase, colipase96 and for colipase85, Kd being about 10(-6) M either in buffer or in the presence of 2 mM taurodeoxycholate at pH 7. Addition of long chain fatty acids in the presence of bile salts increases the binding strength between colipase and lipase 100-fold, both for colipase96 and colipase85.
