Based on data developed with the use of isolated lipid droplets from neonatal rat lung lipofibroblasts, we speculated previously that the droplet coat protein, adipose differentiation-related protein (ADFP), mediated the transfer of lipids into type 2 lung epithelial cells for the production of surfactant phospholipids. The present studies were designed to test the role of ADFP in this transfer with the use of ADFP-coated lipid droplets from CHO fibroblast cells and a cultured human lung epithelial cell line. We found no role for ADFP in the lipid transfer and conclude that a lipase associated with the lipid droplets hydrolyzes their core triacylglycerols, releasing fatty acids that are taken up by the epithelial cells.

Supplementary key words lipid droplets • surfactant phospholipid • PAT proteins
