Tissue lipogenesis is variably controlled by substrate supply and hormones. The possibility that nitric oxide ( NO) might regulate lipogenesis derives from the action of NO on coenzyme A (CoA) to produce metabolically inactive S-nitrosoCoA. The effect of the nitric oxide donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) on long chain fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis was measured in isolated cultured rat hepatocytes. [1-(14)C] Butyrate was used as substrate to measure (14)C incorporation into lipids as butyrate is twice as effective as acetate in hepatic lipogenesis and is ketogenic via the Lynen cycle. NO very significantly (P < 0.01) impaired long chain fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis an observation dependent upon time of exposure ( 3 h pre-incubation or 6 h continuous exposure) and concentration of GSNO ( 500 mu M to 2.0 mM). Decrease in hepatic lipogenesis was paralleled by decrease in ketogenesis. ATP levels remained unchanged following short term exposure to GSNO. Exposure of hepatocytes to GSNO together with 2.0 mM glutathione significantly diminished the inhibition of lipogenesis induced by GSNO alone. Impairment of lipogenesis by GSNO appears not to be limited by energy supply and now adduced, but not proven, to be operative via the degree of inactivation of cytosolic CoA. NO control of lipogenesis could be clinically important where NO production is increased as in demyelinating diseases, chronic arthritis or colitis and in wasting diseases such as AIDS.
