Abstract
When cardiac muscle cells from mature rats were incubated in vitro in the presence of heparin (8.7 nmole ml-1) lipoprotein lipase activity appeared in the incubation medium. The intracellular activity of the enzyme remained unchanged. Other glycosaminoglycans (heparan sulphate, dermatan sulphate, keratan sulphate and chrondroitin 6-sulphate) at the same or higher concentrations were totally ineffective in producing any enzyme redistribution between cells and medium. The release seen in the presence of heparin was blocked by the presence of cycloheximide. Cycloheximide by contrast had no effect on the release observed in the presence of dexamethasone, The action of endogenous glycosaminoglycans are unlikely therefore to have a significant role to play in the movement of lipoprotein lipase in heart tissue in vivo.
