Hepatocytes obtained from rats fed for 3 days chow (control) or drinking water only (fasted) were used to examine how metabolic state affects lipogenesis, apolipoprotein synthesis, and the capacity to secrete de novo synthesized triacylglycerol. The secretion of triacylglycerol (mass and 3H-labeled via 3H2O incorporation) by both groups of cells was constant for 30 h. Moreover, cells from fasted rats secreted triacylglycerol at rates which were markedly reduced (mass -84%; 3H-labeled -91%). To assess the relative capacities of the two groups of hepatocytes to augment triacylglycerol secretion in response to stimulated lipogenesis, cells were incubated with increasing concentrations of glucose. Control cells responded to glucose by increasing equally the synthesis and secretion of [3H] triacylglycerol. When cells from fasted rats were challenged with glucose, triacylglycerol secretion was not increased. Rather, it accumulated intracellularly. Double-reciprocal plot analysis of the capacity to augment triacylglycerol secretion in response to glucose showed that cells from fasted rats had a greater than 10-fold decrease in V'max. Moreover, fasting changed the synthesis and secretion of apolipoproteins selectively: secretion of low molecular weight apo-B was decreased 50%, large molecular weight apo-B was unchanged, and apo-E was increased 2-4-fold. Analysis of the lipoproteins from both groups of cells on Bio-Gel A-50m showed that the very low density lipoprotein secreted by cells from fasted rats was smaller. In addition, all of the increased de novo synthesized apo-E secreted by cells from fasted rats eluted after the triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins. The combined data show that: 1) the synthesis of individual very low density lipoprotein apolipoproteins is independently regulated, and 2) the synthesis (availability) of apo-B determines the capacity of the hepatocyte to assemble/secrete triacylglycerol-rich very low density lipoprotein. |
