  • 摘要:Lipoprotein lipase (LPL, E C 3.1.1.34) is the enzyme responsible for hydrolysis of triacylglycerols in plasma lipoproteins, making the fatty acids available for use by subjacent tissues. LPL is functional at the surface of endothelial cells, but it is not clear which cells synthesize the enzyme and what its distribution within tissues and vessels is. In previous studies we reported that in the major LPL-producing tissues (muscles, adipose tissue, and mammary gland) the enzyme is made by the major cell types. In the present work we have studied in adult guinea pigs some tissues that present LPL activity but in lower amounts (lung, spleen, and liver). On cryosections of these tissues we have searched for specific cell expression of the LPL gene (by in situ hybridization using a RNA probe) and for the corresponding protein distribution (by immunocytochemistry). Based on morphological criteria we can suggest that, contrary to the main LPL-producing tissues, in these tissues the enzyme is made by scattered cells, such as macrophages in the lung and spleen and Kupffer cells in the liver; endothelial cells present but do not synthesize the enzyme, indicating that the endothelial LPL originates in other cells. In the liver strong immunoreaction was detected in the sinusoid in contrast to the low level of mRNA expression, suggesting that liver takes up circulating LPL from blood.
