Abstract

We investigated whether palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that enhances whole body glucose disposal and suppresses hepatic steatosis, modulates triacylglycerol (TAG) metabolism in adipocytes. For this, both differentiated 3T3-L1 cells treated with either palmitoleic acid (16: 1n7, 200 mu M) or palmitic acid (16: 0, 200 mu M) for 24 h and primary adipocytes from wild-type or PPAR alpha-deficient mice treated with 16: 1n7 (300 mg.kg (-1.)day (-1)) or oleic acid (18: 1n9, 300 mg.kg (-1).day (-1)) by gavage for 10 days were evaluated for lipolysis, TAG, and glycerol 3-phosphate synthesis and gene and protein expression profile. Treatment of differentiated 3T3-L1 cells with 16:1n7, but not 16: 0, increased basal and isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis, mRNA levels of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and protein content of ATGL and pSer(660)-HSL. Such increase in lipolysis induced by 16: 1n7, which can be prevented by pharmacological inhibition of PPAR alpha, was associated with higher rates of PPAR alpha binding to DNA. In contrast to lipolysis, both 16: 1n7 and 16: 0 increased fatty acid incorporation into TAG and glycerol 3-phosphate synthesis from glucose without affecting glyceroneogenesis and glycerokinase expression. Corroborating in vitro findings, treatment of wild-type but not PPAR alpha-deficient mice with 16: 1n7 increased primary adipocyte basal and stimulated lipolysis and ATGL and HSL mRNA levels. In contrast to lipolysis, however, 16: 1n7 treatment increased fatty acid incorporation into TAG and glycerol 3-phosphate synthesis from glucose in both wild-type and PPAR alpha-deficient mice. In conclusion, palmitoleic acid increases adipocyte lipolysis and lipases by a mechanism that requires a functional PPAR alpha. (AU)
