Despite the critical role lipid droplets play in maintaining energy reserves and lipid stores for the cell, little is known about the regulation of the lipid or protein components within the lipid droplet. Although immunofluorescence of intact cells as well as Western analysis of isolated lipid droplets revealed that sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) was not associated with lipid droplets, SCP-2 expression significantly altered the structure of the lipid droplet. First, the targeting of fatty acid and cholesterol to the lipid droplets was significantly decreased. Second, the content of several proteins important for lipid droplet function was differentially increased (perilipin A), reduced severalfold (adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP), vimentin), or almost completely eliminated (hormone-sensitive lipase and proteins >93 kDa) in the isolated lipid droplet. Third, the distribution of lipids within the lipid droplets was significantly altered. Double labeling of cells with 12-(N-methyl)-N-[(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino]-octadecanoic acid (NBD-stearic acid) and antisera to ADRP showed that 70, 24, and 13% of lipid droplets contained ADRP, NBD-stearic acid, or both, respectively. SCP-2 expression decreased the level of ADRP in the lipid droplet but increased the proportion wherein ADRP and NBD-stearic acid colocalized by 3-fold. SCP-2 expression also decreased the lipid droplet fatty acid and cholesterol mass (nmol/mg protein) by 5.2- and 6.6-fold, respectively. Finally, SCP-2 expression selectively altered the pattern of esterified fatty acids in favor of polyunsaturated fatty acids within the lipid droplet. Displacement studies showed differential binding affinity of ADRP for cholesterol and fatty acids. These data suggested that SCP-2 and ADRP play a significant role in regulating fatty acid and cholesterol targeting to lipid droplets as well as in determining their lipid and protein components.
