N2 - Activated autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) can degrade virtually all kinds of cellular components, including intracellular lipid droplets, especially during catabolic conditions. Sustained lipolysis and increased plasma fatty acids concentrations are characteristic of dairy cows with hyperketonemia. However, the status of ALP in adipose tissue during this physiological condition is not well known. The present study aimed to ascertain whether lipolysis is associated with activation of ALP in adipose tissues of dairy cows with hyperketonemia and in calf adipocytes. In vivo, blood and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) biopsies were collected from nonhyperketonemic (nonHYK) cows [blood β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentration <1.2 mM, n = 10] and hyperketonemic (HYK) cows (blood BHB concentration 1.2–3.0 mM, n = 10) with similar days in milk (range: 3–9) and parity (range: 2–4). In vitro, calf adipocytes isolated from 5 healthy Holstein calves (1 d old, female, 30–40 kg) were differentiated and used for (1) treatment with lipolysis inducer isoproterenol (ISO, 10 µM, 3 h) or mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor Torin1 (250 nM, 3 h), and (2) pretreatment with or without the ALP inhibitor leupeptin (10 μg/mL, 4 h) followed by ISO (10 µM, 3 h) treatment. Compared with nonHYK cows, serum concentration of free fatty acids was greater and serum glucose concentration, DMI, and milk yield were lower in HYK cows. In SAT of HYK cows, ratio of phosphorylated hormone-sensitive lipase to hormone-sensitive lipase, and protein abundance of adipose triacylglycerol lipase were greater, but protein abundance of perilipin 1 (PLIN1) and cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-α-like effector c (CIDEC) was lower. In addition, mRNA abundance of autophagy-related 5 (ATG5), autophagy-related 7 (ATG7), and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta (MAP1LC3B), protein abundance of lysosome-associated membrane protein 1, and cathepsin D, and activity of β-N-acetylglucosaminidase were greater, whereas protein abundance of sequestosome-1 (p62) was lower in SAT of HYK cows. In calf adipocytes, treatment with ISO or Torin1 decreased protein abundance of PLIN1, and CIDEC, and triacylglycerol content in calf adipocytes, but increased glycerol content in the supernatant of calf adipocytes. Moreover, the mRNA abundance of ATG5, ATG7, and MAP1LC3B was upregulated, the protein abundance of lysosome-associated membrane protein 1, cathepsin D, and activity of β-N-acetylglucosaminidase were increased, whereas the protein abundance of p62 was decreased in calf adipocytes treated with ISO or Torin1 compared with control group. Compared with treatment with ISO alone, the protein abundance of p62, PLIN1, and CIDEC, and triacylglycerol content in calf adipocytes were higher, but the glycerol content in the supernatant of calf adipocytes was lower in ISO and leupeptin co-treated group. Overall, these data indicated that activated ALP is associated with increased lipolysis in adipose tissues of dairy cows with hyperketonemia and in calf adipocytes.
