ABSTRACT
Intense and protracted adipose tissue (AT) fat mobilization increases the risk of metabolic and inflammatory periparturient diseases in dairy cows. This vulnerability increases when cows have endotoxemia-common during periparturient diseases such as mastitis, metritis, and pneumonia-but the mechanisms are unknown. Fat mobilization intensity is determined by the balance between lipolysis and lipogenesis. Around parturition, the rate of lipolysis surpasses that of lipogenesis, leading to enhanced free fatty acid release into the circulation. We hypothesized that exposure to endotoxin (ET) increases AT lipolysis by activation of classic and inflammatory lipolytic pathways and reduction of insulin sensitivity. In experiment 1, subcutaneous AT (SCAT) explants were collected from periparturient (n = 12) Holstein cows at 11 ± 3.6 d (mean ± SE) before calving, and 6 ± 1 d and 13 ± 1.4 d after parturition. Explants were treated with the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 20 µg/mL; basal = 0 µg/mL) for 3 h. The effect of LPS on lipolysis was assessed in the presence of the ß-adrenergic agonist and promoter of lipolysis isoproterenol (ISO; 1 µM; LPS+ISO). In experiment 2, SCAT explants were harvested from 24 nonlactating, nongestating multiparous Holstein dairy cows and exposed to the same treatments as in experiment 1 for 3 and 7 h. The effect of LPS on the antilipolytic responses induced by insulin (INS = 1 µL/L, LPS+INS) was established during ISO stimulation [ISO+INS, LPS+ISO+INS]. The characterization of lipolysis included the quantification of glycerol release and the assessment of markers of lipase activity [adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), and phosphorylated HSL Ser563 (pHSL)], and insulin pathway activation (AKT, pAKT) using capillary electrophoresis. Inflammatory gene networks were evaluated by real-time quantitative PCR. In periparturient cows, LPS increased AT lipolysis by 67 ± 12% at 3 h across all time points compared with basal. In nonlactating cows, LPS was an effective lipolytic agent at 3 h and 7 h, increasing glycerol release by 115 ± 18% and 68.7 ± 16%, respectively, relative to basal. In experiment 2, LPS enhanced ATGL activity with minimal HSL activation at 3 h. In contrast, at 7 h, LPS increased HSL phosphorylation (i.e., HSL activity) by 123 ± 11%. The LPS-induced HSL lipolytic activity at 7 h coincided with the activation of the MEK/ERK inflammatory pathway. In experiment 2, INS reduced the lipolytic effect of ISO (ISO+INS -63 ± 18%) and LPS (LPS+INS -45.2 ± 18%) at 3 h. However, the antilipolytic effect of INS was lost in the presence of LPS at 7 h (LPS+INS -16.3 ± 16%) and LPS+ISO+INS at 3 and 7 h (-3.84 ± 23.6% and -21.2 ± 14.6%). Accordingly, LPS reduced pAKTAKT (0.11 ± 0.07) compared with basal (0.18 ± 0.05) at 7 h. Our results indicated that exposure to LPS activated the classic and inflammatory lipolytic pathways and reduced insulin sensitivity in SCAT. These data provide evidence that during endotoxemia, dairy cows may be more susceptible to lipolysis dysregulation and loss of adipocyte sensitivity to the antilipolytic action of insulin.
