A turnover of cytoplasmic triacylglycerol was studied in cultured rat, rabbit, and bovine aortic smooth muscle cells. Cytoplasmic triacylglycerol was labeled with [3H]glycerol in the presence of oleic acid in the medium and its loss from the cell was studied in the presence of carrier glycerol. Multiple additions of Isuprel or dibutyryl cyclic AMP during the chase period did not enhance the loss of labeled triacylglycerol. The rate of hydrolysis of cellular triacylglycerol was unchanged in the absence or in the presence of 100 microM chloroquine. Modulation of cellular cholesterol content by addition of low density lipoprotein or high density apolipoprotein--sphingomyelin liposomes did not affect the residence time of the cellular triacylglycerol. We conclude that cytoplasmic triacylglycerol in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells is metabolized by an extralysosomal enzyme which is neither catecholamine responsive nor affected by modulation of cellular cholesterol.
