n-6/n-3多不饱和脂肪酸比例对机体生理功能的调节

多不饱和脂肪酸(Polyunsaturated fatty acids,PUFA),尤其是n-6和n-3 PUFAs,不仅是人体必需营养素,在调节和预防人类疾病方面同时发挥着重要作用。n-6和n-3 PUFAs在哺乳动物细胞内不能相互转换,且是动植物细胞膜的重要组成成分,具有不同的生理功能。细胞膜多不饱和脂肪酸组成比例很大程度上由膳食决定,因此平衡膳食中n-6/n-3 PUFAs具有重要意义。本文总结了n-6和n-3 PUFAs的代谢途径和作用机制,结合临床试验,阐述了平衡n-6/n-3 PUFA的重要性。     

Interaction of Sesamin and Eicosapentaenoic Acid against Δ5 Desaturation and n-6/ n-3 Ratio of Essential Fatty Acids in Rat

Sesamin is a specific inhibitor of Δ5 desaturation, the conversion from dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (20: 3, n-6) to arachidonic acid (AA, 20: 4, n-6). Previously, we reported that sesamin inhibited Δ5 desaturation of n-6 fatty acids in rat hepatocytes but not that of n-3 fatty acids, from 20: 4 (n-3) to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20: 5, n-3). In this study, we investigated the interaction of sesamin and EPA on Δ5 desaturation of both series and the n-6/n-3 fatty acids ratio by measuring actural fatty acid contents in vivo. Rats were fed three types of dietary oils; 1) linoleic acid (LA, 18: 2, n-6): linolenic acid (LLA, 18: 3, n-3) = 3: 1, n-6/n-3 ratio of 3: 1 (LA group), 2) LA: LLA =1: 3, n-6/n-3 ratio of 1: 3 (LLA group), 3) LA: LLA: EPA =1: 0.5: 3, n-6/n-3 ratio of 1: 3.5 (EPA group) with or without sesamin (0.5% w/w) for 4 weeks. In all groups, sesamin administration increased the content of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (20: 3, n-6) in the liver and decreased the Δ5 desaturation index of n-6 fatty acid, the ratio of 20: 4/20: 3 (n-6). On the contrary, the Δ5 desaturation index of n-3 fatty acid, the ratio of 20: 5 + 22: 5 + 22: 6/20: 4 (n-3), was increased by the administration of sesamin. These results suggest that sesamin inhibits the A5 desaturation of n-6 fatty acid, but not that of n-3 fatty acid in rat livers. Sesamin administration decreased incorporation of EPA (n-3) and simultaneously increased the AA (n-6) content in the liver. The n-6/n-3 ratio in the liver was increased by administering sesamin under n-3 rich conditions, i.e., the LLA and EPA groups.     

Role of fatty acids of (n-3) and (n-6) series on α-linolenic acid desaturation and chain elongation in HTC cells

Summary The desaturation and chain elongation of [1-¹⁴C] -linolenic acid were studied in HTC cells preincubated for 24 h in the presence of different unlabeled fatty acids of (n-3) and (n-6) series. After 24 h in the presence of [1-¹⁴C] -18:3, cells transformed this acid into labeled 20:5 and 22:5(n-3) through the desaturation-elongation pathway and into 20:3 and 22:3(n-3) by the elongation reactions. The preincubation of HTC cells with (n-3) fatty acids (-18:3, 20:5 and 22:6) produced an increase in the amount of [1-¹⁴C] -18:3 that remained in the cells without being metabolized and consequently, a decrease in the last product formed, the 22:5(n-3) was observed. Simultaneously, the desaturation-elongation products decreased significantly and those of the elongation pathway were not modified, except when the cells were pre-incubated with the last fatty acid of this family (22:6) which increased this metabolic route. Fatty acids of (n-6) series (-18:3, 20:3, 20:4 and 22:4) decreased the desaturation-elongation pathway and increased the elongation route from [1-¹⁴C] -18:3. From these results, it can be concluded that fatty acids of (n-3) family and intermediates of (n-6) series would impair the [1-¹⁴C] -18:3 metabolism at the 6 desaturation step. The fatty acid composition of the cells was also modified by the preincubation with (n-3) and (n-6) acids showing a decrease on 9 desaturation activity.

The Structure of a New Terpenoid Acid, 6(S)-Isopropyl-3ξ-methyl-3ξ-hydroxy-9-oxo-4E-decenoic Acid,Isolated from Turkish Tobacco

The structure of a new hydroxy terpenoid acid, 6(S)-isopropyl-3ξ-methyl-3ξ-hydroxy-9-oxo-4E-decenoic acid (1a), isolated from a solvent-extract of Turkish tobacco, was elucidated by the spectroscopic properties and chemical evidence. This compound was suggested to be derived from thunberganoid diterpenoids and be a precursor of two dienoic acids, 6(S)-sopropyl-3-methyl-9-oxo-2E,4E-decadienoic acid (3a) and 6(S)-isopropyl-3-methyl-9-oxo-2Z,4E-decadienoic acid (4a) in Turkish tobacco.

α-Trifluoromethyl-β-Ureido-Propionic Acid (F3MUPA): A New Metabolite of Trifluridine (F3TdR)

Abstract

The metabolism of 5-trifluro-2′-deoxythymidine (trifluridine; F₃TdR) in male BALB/c mice bearing EMT-6 tumors has been investigated using ¹9F NMR spectroscopy. We previously (Tandon et al, 1992) reported the detection and identification of 5,6-dihydro-5-trifluorothymine (DHF₃T, 3) and 5,6-dihydroxy-5-trifluorothymine (DOHF₃T) as new metabolites of F₃TdR in mice urine. Further exploration of the metabolism of trifluridine has led to the identification of α-trifluoromethyl-β-ureido-propionic acid (F₃MUPA, 4) as a previously unreported metabolite in the urine of F₃TdR treated mice. Authentic F₃MUPA was obtained by synthesis via an established route. A comparison of chemical shift and the H-F coupling constant of an authentic sample, with the ¹⁹F signal from urine, indicated the presence of F₃MUPA in murine urine. Mixing crude urine with authentic F₃MUPA resulted in the enhancement of the corresponding fluorine signal without affecting or introducing others, thereby confirming the presence of F₃MUPA as a urinary metabolite.

目的探讨n-3、n-6多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)高脂饮食对SD大鼠肝脏Srebp2及Hmgcr表达的影响。方法 SD大鼠随机分为3组,分别为对照组(NC)、n-3 PUFA组(TUF)及n-6 PUFA组(SUF),8周后测量血清总胆固醇(TCH)水平,实时定量PCR检测Srebp2及Hmgcr基因表达,Western blotting检测SREBP2及HMGCR蛋白表达。结果 TUF组、SUF组血清TCH含量均显著降低(P<0.001),TUF组最低。TUF组、SUF组Srebp2及Hmgcr基因表达水平均显著增高(P=0.007,P=0.012),SUF组Srebp2最高,TUF组Hmgcr最高。TUF组HMGCR蛋白表达显著高于NC组及SUF组,SUF组与NC组差异无显著性;三组SREBP2蛋白表达。结论 n-3、n-6PUFA降低血清胆固醇不是通过抑制Srebp2及Hmgcr表达实现的。     

Synthesis and Biological Activity of (±)2′,3′-Dihydroabscisic Acid

An enzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) has been purified from a fraction adsorbed to DEAE-Sephadex at pH 7.0 from PVA-degrading enzyme activities produced by a bacterial symbiotic mixed culture in a culture broth when the culture was grown in a minimal medium where PVA served as a sole source of carbon and energy. The enzyme was separated from a coexisting oxidized PVA hydrolase by dye-ligand chromatography on Matrex Gel Blue A. The purified enzyme was homogeneous as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoreses in the absence and presence of SDS.

The enzyme is a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of about 40,000 and has an isoelectric point of 4.5. The amino acid composition of the enzyme has been determined and found to have no histidine. The N- and C-terminal amino acid residues are both alanine. The enzyme solution is pink and shows absorption maxima at 276, 364, and 469 nm. One atom of non-heme iron has been detected per molecule in the enzyme.

The enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of PVA and also of various low molecular weight secondary alcohols to the corresponding ketones with the production of H₂0₂ and the consumption of 0₂. The molar ratio of these ketones, H₂0₂ and 0₂ is 1:1:1. The most effective electron acceptor is 0₂, while 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol and nitro blue tetrazolium also serve as the acceptor with efficiencies to 0₂ of about 31 and 16%, respectively. The enzyme is, therefore, considered to be a secondary alcohol oxidase.

The enzyme is most active at pH 7.0 and at 45°C and is stable between pH 5.0 and 9.0 and at temperatures below 45°C. The activity is inhibited by Hg²⁺ and is restored by the addition of reduced glutathione, although p-chloromercuribenzoate has no effect.

The enzyme shows a common antigenicity in immunodiffusion and neutralization reactions with antisera to a secondary alcohol oxidase previously isolated from another fraction adsorbed on SP-Sephadex at pH 7.0 of the PVA-degrading enzyme activities [Agric. Biol. Chem., 43, 1225 (1979)]. The relations between these two secondary alcohol oxidases are discussed.
