title: Stimulatory release of lipoprotein lipase activity from rat fat pads by vanadate.
abstract: Vanadate stimulated the release of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity from rat fat pads into the medium in a time- and dose-dependent manner. It exerted the synergetic effect with heparin. The stimulatory effects of vanadate and heparin were decreased by incubation in Na+- or Ca2+-free media but were well preserved in K+-free medium. Amiloride inhibited the vanadate-stimulated release of LPL activity in a dose-dependent manner, but did not inhibit the heparin-stimulated release of LPL activity. Colchicine, antimycin A, and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone suppressed the stimulatory effect of vanadate, but cycloheximide did not. Preincubation of the fat pads with the tetrakis (acetoxymethyl) ester of quin 2 (quin 2-AM) inhibited the vanadate-stimulatory release of LPL activity without affecting basal activity. The concentration required for half-maximal inhibition of the action of vanadate by quin 2-AM was calculated to be 39 microM, suggesting that the action of vandate was dependent on intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The heparin-stimulated release, on the other hand, was not inhibited even at higher concentrations of quin 2-AM (up to 200 microM). These findings suggest that vanadate stimulates the release of LPL activity through mechanisms of action involving amiloride-sensitive and calcium-dependent pathways with a requirement of metabolic energy.
