In white adipose tissue (WAT), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) can mediate lipolysis, a central pathway in obesity and diabetes. Gene-targeted HSL-deficient (HSL-/-) mice with no detectable HSL peptide or activity (measured as cholesteryl esterase) have WAT abnormalities, including low mass, marked heterogeneity of cell diameter, increased diacylglycerol content, and low beta-adrenergic stimulation of adipocyte lipolysis. Three transgenic mouse strains preferentially expressing human HSL in WAT were bred to a HSL-/- background. One, HSL-/-N, expresses normal human HSL (41.3 +/- 9.1% of normal activity); two express a serine-to-alanine mutant (S554A) initially hypothesized to be constitutively active: HSL-/-ML, 50.3 +/- 12.3% of normal, and HSL-/-MH, 69.8 +/- 15.8% of normal. In WAT, HSL-/-N mice resembled HSL(-/-)controls in WAT mass, histology, diacylglyceride content, and lipolytic response to beta - adrenergic agents. In contrast, HSL-/-ML and HSL-/-MH mice resembled nontransgenic HS(-/-)mice, except that diacylglycerol content and perirenal and inguinal WAT masses approached normal in HSL-/-MH mice. Therefore, 1) WAT expression of normal human HSL markedly improves HSL(-/-)WAT biochemically, physiologically, and morphologically; 2) similar levels of S554A HSL have a low physiological effect despite being active in vitro; and 3) diacylglycerol accumulation is not essential for the development of the characteristic WAT pathology of HSL(-/-)mice.
