Bacterial lipopolysaccharide reduces macrophage lipoprotein lipase levels: an effect that is independent of tumor necrosis factor

Human monocyte-derived macrophages secrete lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in culture. The regulation of human macrophage LPL production is poorly understood. Since bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) alters production of several macrophage secretory products, its effect on human monocyte- derived macrophage LPL was tested. LPS treatment produced a dramatic dose-dependent decrease in LPL activity in macrophage-conditioned media. At 100 ng/ml LPS, medium LPL activity dropped by 60%. The effect of LPS on macrophage LPL activity was rapid, was blocked by polymixin B, and was not due to cytotoxicity. LPS lowers (by about 60%) the steady state level of LPL mRNA, suggesting that its effect is exerted at the level of mRNA metabolism. Since LPS stimulates macrophage production of cachectin/tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a potent inhibitor of LPL production by the 3T3-L1 adipocyte-like cell line, it was determined whether TNF reduces macrophage LPL levels. Treatment of human macrophages with up to 1000 U/ml of recombinant human TNF had no effect on macrophage LPL activity. When TNF was added in combination with LPS, no additional effect on LPL activity was observed over that seen with LPS alone. Furthermore, the LPS effect was not blocked by a monoclonal anti-TNF antibody. Thus, bacterial LPS potently decreases macrophage LPL activity and mass independent of an autocrine effect of TNF.
