Objective: Variations in lipid metabolism between individuals could be due to genetic factors. A transmission of a haplotype of the upstream transcription factor-1 (USF-1) gene containing the minor alleles at the usf1s1 and usfs2 loci is described. We investigated whether these polymorphisms are associated with adipocyte lipolysis.Methods and Results: A total of 196 healthy obese women were investigated for in vitro lipolysis regulation in sc fat cells, which was set in relation to the usf1s1 C -> T and usf1s2 G -> A polymorphisms in the usf1 gene. The two polymorphisms were in complete linkage disequilibrium. The usf1s1/2T/A allele was associated with increases in the maximum lipolytic action of noradrenaline (P = 0.005), dobutamine ( P = 0.008), terbutaline (P = 0.008), CGP12177 (P = 0.015), and forskolin (P = 0.006). In contrast, no significant genotype effect on lipolytic sensitivity (i.e. half-maximum effective concentration) for any of the drugs was demonstrated. Analysis of adipose tissue mRNA expression in 78 women from genes regulating lipolysis at the post-adrenoceptor level showed an increased level of protein kinase A subunit R1 alpha in the T/ A genotype (P = 0.02).Conclusions: Polymorphism in the usf1 gene is associated with increased lipolytic effect of catecholamines in fat cells, which is localized at the postadrenoceptor level, possibly, at least, involving protein kinase A.
