AbstractN-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) affect inflammatory processes. This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with fish oil on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the rat. Parameters of liver injury (serum transaminases and histology) and oxidative stress (serum 8-isoprostanes and hepatic GSH and GSSG), were correlated with NF-κB DNA binding and FA composition and inflammatory cytokine release. N-3 PUFA supplementation significantly increased liver n-3 PUFA content and decreased n-6/n-3 PUFA ratios. IR significantly modified liver histology and enhanced serum transaminases, 8-isoprotanes and inflammatory cytokines, with net reduction in liver GSH levels and net increment in those of GSSG. Early increase (3 h) and late reduction (20 h) in NF-κB activity was induced. All IR-induced changes were normalized by n-3 PUFA supplementation. In conclusion, prevention of liver IR-injury was achieved by n-3 PUFA supplementation, with suppression of oxidative stress and recovery of pro-inflammatory cytokine homeostasis and NF-κB functionality lost during IR. 相似文献

Low voltage-activated, rapidly inactivating T-type Ca(2+) channels are found in a variety of cells where they regulate electrical activity and Ca(2+) entry. In whole-cell patch clamp recordings from bovine adrenal zona fasciculata cells, cis-polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid inhibited T-type Ca(2+) current (I(T-Ca)) with IC(50)s of 2.4, 6.1, and 14.4microM, respectively. Inhibition of I(T-Ca) by DHA was partially use-dependent. In the absence of stimulation, DHA (5microM) inhibited I(T-Ca) by 59.7+/-8.1% (n=5). When voltage steps to -10mV were applied at 12s intervals, block increased to 80.5+/-7.2%. Inhibition of I(T-Ca) by DHA was accompanied by a shift of -11.7mV in the voltage dependence of steady-state inactivation, and a smaller -3.3mV shift in the voltage dependence of activation. omega-3 fatty acids also selectively altered the gating kinetics of T-type Ca(2+) channels. DHA accelerated T channel recovery from inactivation by approximately 3-fold, but did not affect the kinetics of T channel activation or deactivation. Arachidonic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, also inhibited T-type Ca(2+) current at micromolar concentrations, while the trans polyunsaturated fatty acid linolelaidic acid was ineffective. These results identify cis polyunsaturated fatty acids as relatively potent, new T-type Ca(2+) channel antagonists. omega-3 fatty acids are essential dietary components that have been shown to possess remarkable neuroprotective and cardioprotective properties that are likely mediated through suppression of electrical activity and associated Ca(2+) entry. Inhibition of T-type Ca(2+) channels in neurons and cardiac myocytes could contribute significantly to their protective actions. 相似文献

The mammalian pineal gland is a prominent secretory organ with a high metabolic activity. Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), the main secretory product of the pineal gland, efficiently scavenges both the hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals counteracting lipid peroxidation in biological membranes. Approximately 25% of the total fatty acids present in the rat pineal lipids are represented by arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3). These very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids play important roles in the pineal gland. In addition to the production of melatonin, the mammalian pineal gland is able of convert these polyunsaturated fatty acids into bioactive lipid mediators. Lipoxygenation is the principal lipoxygenase (LOX) activity observed in the rat pineal gland. Lipoxygenation in the pineal gland is exceptional because no other brain regions express significant LOX activities under normal physiological conditions. The rat pineal gland expresses both 12- and 15-lipoxygenase (LOX) activities, producing 12- and 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12- and 15-HpETE) from arachidonic acid and 14- and 17-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (14- and 17-HdoHE) from docosahexaenoic acid, respectively. The rat pineal also produces hepoxilins via LOX pathways. The hepoxilins are bioactive epoxy-hydroxy products of the arachidonic acid metabolism via the 12S-lipoxygenase (12S-LOX) pathway. The two key pineal biochemical functions, lipoxygenation and melatonin synthesis, may be synergistically regulated by the status of n-3 essential fatty acids. 相似文献

n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), derived from marine oils, have been shown to protect against various neurological diseases. However, very little is known about their potential anticonvulsant properties. The objective of the present study was to determine whether enrichment of brain lipids with n-3 PUFA inhibits seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol. We demonstrate that increased brain levels of n-3 PUFA in transgenic fat-1 male mice, which are capable of de novo synthesis of n-3 PUFA from n-6 PUFA, increases latency to seizure onset by 45%, relative to wildtype controls ( p = 0.08). Compared with wildtype littermates, transgenic fat-1 mice have significantly ( p < 0.05) higher levels of docosahexaenoic acid and total n-3 PUFA in brain total lipid extracts and phospholipids. Levels of brain docosahexaenoic acid were positively correlated to seizure latency ( p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that n-3 PUFA have anticonvulsant properties and suggest the possibility of a novel, non-drug dietary approach for the treatment of epilepsy. 相似文献

The longitudinal relationship between dietary n-6 to n-3 PUFAs ratio and periodontal disease in 235 Japanese subjects for whom data were available for the years 2003-2006 was investigated. PUFAs intake was assessed at baseline with a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire. Full-mouth periodontal status, measured as the clinical attachment level (CAL), was recorded at baseline and once a year for 3 years. The number of teeth with a change in the loss of CAL ≥3 mm at any site over a year was calculated as ‘periodontal disease events’. Poisson regression analysis was conducted, with dietary n-6 to n-3 PUFAs ratio as the main predictor, to estimate its influence on periodontal disease events.A high dietary n-6 to n-3 PUFAs ratio was significantly associated with greater number of periodontal disease events. The findings suggest the dietary n-6 to n-3 PUFAs ratio is associated with periodontal disease among older Japanese. 相似文献

Expression of E-FABP in PC12 cells increases neurite extension during differentiation: involvement of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Epidermal fatty acid-binding protein (E-FABP), a member of the family of FABPs, exhibits a robust expression in neurons during axonal growth in development and in nerve regeneration following nerve injury. This study examines the impact of E-FABP expression in normal neurite extension in differentiating pheochromocytoma cell (PC12) cultures supplemented with selected long chain free fatty acids (LCFFA). We found that E-FABP binds to a broad range of saturated and unsaturated LCFFAs, including those with potential interest for neuronal differentiation and axonal growth such as C22:6n-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), C20:5n-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and C20:4n-6 arachidonic acid (ARA). PC12 cells exposed to nerve growth factor (NGFDPC12) exhibit high E-FABP expression that is blocked by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor U0126. Nerve growth factor-differentiated pheochromocytoma cells (NGFDPC12) antisense clones (NGFDPC12-AS) which exhibit low E-FABP expression have fewer/shorter neurites than cells transfected with vector only or NGFDPC12 sense cells (NGFDPC12-S). Replenishing NGFDPC12-AS cells with biotinylated recombinant E-FABP (biotin-E-FABP) protein restores normal neurite outgrowth. Cellular localization of biotin-E-FABP in NGFDPC12 was detected mostly in the cytoplasm and in the nuclear region. Treatment of NGFDPC12 with DHA, EPA, or ARA further enhances neurite length but it does not trigger further induction of TrkA or MEK phosphorylation or E-FABP mRNA observed in differentiating PC12 cells without LCFFA supplementation. Significantly, DHA and EPA neurite stimulating effects are higher in NGFDPC12-S than in NGFDPC12-AS cells. These findings are consistent with the scenario that neurite extension of differentiating PC12 cells, including further stimulation by DHA and EPA, requires sufficient cellular levels of E-FABP. 相似文献

The present study examines the time dependent effects of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on liver microsomal lipid metabolism in FVB mice fed a diet supplemented with a mixture of free fatty acids (mainly 18:3n-6 and 20:5n-3) at 25 mg/g diet. Significant changes in the fatty acid composition of total liver and microsomal lipids were observed after 7 days on the diets. Thereafter, some animals remained on the same diet while others were fed a diet supplemented with hydrogenated coconut oil (HCO). With the exception of 20:5n-3 which showed a slower recovery, establishment of the HCO pattern was rapid indicating that the diet-induced changes could be easily reversed. The unsaturation index, the cholesterol/phospholipid ratio and the microviscosity of the microsomal membranes were not affected by these dietary manipulations. Unsaturated fatty acid supplementation reduced the activity of 9 desaturase by 50%. Feeding the HCO diet to mice previously fed the EPA/GLA diet led to a progressive increase in 9 desaturase activity, reaching 80% of the day zero values after 14 days. The monoene content of hepatic total lipids reflected, in most cases, the changes in enzyme activity. This study shows that a low dose of a n-3 and n-6 free fatty acid mixture increases the quantities of members of the n-3 family, without loss of n-6 fatty acids in microsomal membranes and modifies the activity of 9 desaturase without altering the microsome physicochemical parameters. 相似文献

Three fatty acids were synthesized from commercially available alpha-linolenic, stearidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids by C2-elongation using a four step preparative technique. The parent fatty acid methyl esters were reduced to alcohols with LiAlH(4), converted to bromides by treatment with triphenylphosphine dibromide, coupled with a lithiated C2-elongation block--2,4,4-trimethyl-2-oxazoline--to form the corresponding 2,2-dimethyloxazolines of C2-elongated fatty acids, and finally, converted to the target polyunsaturated fatty acids by acidic alcoholysis. Yields of more than 60% were achieved on a gram scale. The resulting 11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosatrienoic, 8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosatetraenoic and 7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z-docosapentaenoic acids were obtained as colorless oils with >98% purity and could be used for biochemical investigations without additional purification. The elongated fatty acids were free of byproducts that could result from Z-E isomerization or migration of double bonds. 相似文献

It has recently been reported that expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) plays a protective role against many diseases. Furthermore, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were shown to induce HO-1 expression in several cells in vitro, and in a few cases also in vivo. However, very few reports have demonstrated that n-3 PUFAs induce HO-1 in vivo. 相似文献

BackgroundDietary linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6) lowering in rats reduces n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) plasma concentrations and increases n-3 PUFA (eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) concentrations.ObjectiveTo evaluate the extent to which 12 weeks of dietary n-6 PUFA lowering, with or without increased dietary n-3 PUFAs, alters unesterified and esterified plasma n-6 and n-3 PUFA concentrations in subjects with chronic headache.DesignSecondary analysis of a randomized trial. Subjects with chronic headache were randomized for 12 weeks to (1) average n-3, low n-6 (L6) diet; or (2) high n-3, low n-6 LA (H3–L6) diet. Esterified and unesterified plasma fatty acids were quantified at baseline (0 weeks) and after 12 weeks on a diet.ResultsCompared to baseline, the L6 diet reduced esterified plasma LA and increased esterified n-3 PUFA concentrations (nmol/ml), but did not significantly change plasma arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6) concentration. In addition, unesterified EPA concentration was increased significantly among unesterified fatty acids. The H3–L6 diet decreased esterified LA and AA concentrations, and produced more marked increases in esterified and unesterified n-3 PUFA concentrations.ConclusionDietary n-6 PUFA lowering for 12 weeks significantly reduces LA and increases n-3 PUFA concentrations in plasma, without altering plasma AA concentration. A concurrent increase in dietary n-3 PUFAs for 12 weeks further increases n-3 PUFA plasma concentrations and reduces AA. 相似文献

Taraxacum officinale (TO) has been frequently used as a remedy for women's disease (e.g. breast and uterus cancer) and disorders of the liver and gallbladder. Several earlier studies have indicated that TO exhibits anti-tumor properties, but its mechanism remains to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effect of TO on the cytotoxicity and production of cytokines in human hepatoma cell line, Hep G2. Our results show that TO decreased the cell viability by 26%, and significantly increased the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1alpha production compared with media control (about 1.6-fold for TNF-alpha, and 2.4-fold for IL-1alpha, P < 0.05). Also, TO strongly induced apoptosis of Hep G2 cells as determined by flow cytometry. Increased amounts of TNF-alpha and IL-1alpha contributed to TO-induced apoptosis. Anti-TNF-alpha and IL-1alpha antibodies almost abolished it. These results suggest that TO induces cytotoxicity through TNF-alpha and IL-1alpha secretion in Hep G2 cells. 相似文献

A protective effect of the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in preventing ventricular fibrillation in experimental animals and cultured cardiomyocytes has been demonstrated in a number of studies. In this study, a possible role for the n-3 PUFAs in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) was investigated at the cellular level using atrial myocytes isolated from young adult rats as the experimental model. Electrically-stimulated, synchronously-contracting myocytes were induced to contract asynchronously by the addition of 10 M isoproterenol. Asynchronous contractile activity was reduced following acute addition of the n-3 PUFAs docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) at 10 M, compared with no fatty acid addition (from 99.0 ±: 1.0% to 30.7 ± 5.2% (p < 0.05) for DHA and 23.8 ± 2.8% (p < 0.01) for EPA), while the saturated fatty acid, docosanoic acid (DA) and the methyl ester of DHA (DHA m.e.) did not exert a significant effect on asynchronous contractile activity. Asynchronous contractile activity was also reduced to 1.7 ± 1.7% in the presence of the membrane fluidising agent, benzyl alcohol (p < 0.001 vs no fatty acid addition). Cell membrane fluidity was determined by steady state fluorescence anisotropy using the fluorescent probe, TMAP-DPH. Addition of DHA, EPA or benzyl alcohol significantly increased sarcolemmal membrane fluidity (decreased anisotropy, rss) of atrial myocytes compared with no addition of fatty acid (control) (from rss = 0.203 ±0.004 to 0.159 ± 0.004 (p < 0.01) for DHA, 0.166 ± 0.001 (p < 0.01) for EPA and 0.186 ±0.003 (p < 0.05) for benzyl alcohol, while DA and DHA m.e. were without effect. It is concluded that the n-3 PUFAs exert anti-asynchronous effects in rat atrial myocytes by a mechanism which may involve changes in membrane fluidity. 相似文献

Changes in n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA, ≥20 carbons and ≥3 carbon–carbon double bonds) at baseline, during fish oil supplementation (4 weeks) and during washout (8 weeks) were compared in venous plasma, erythrocytes, whole blood and fingertip prick blood (weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12) with additional weekly fingertip prick samples. Correlations between the various blood fractions were slightly stronger when n-3 HUFA status was expressed as the percentage of n-3 HUFA in total HUFA as compared with the sum of EPA and DHA. Increases and decreases in n-3 HUFA were more dramatic in plasma, and EPA responded rapidly (within 1 week) with fish oil supplementation and cessation. Sex differences in the proportions of n-3 HUFA in blood were also apparent at baseline with females (n=7) having a tendency for higher docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) relative to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and n-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-3, 22:5n-3) as compared with males (n=9). Further n-3 biomarker research in larger populations is required. 相似文献

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have a major impact on human health. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several genetic loci that are associated with plasma levels of n-3 and n-6 PUFAs in primarily subjects of European ancestry. However, the relevance of these findings has not been evaluated extensively in other ethnic groups.
The primary aim of this study was to evaluate for genetic loci associated with n-3 and n-6 PUFAs and to validate the role of recently identified index loci using data from a Singaporean Chinese population. Using a GWAS approach, we evaluated associations with plasma concentrations of three n-3 PUFAs [alphalinolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid], four n-6 PUFAs [linoleic acid (LA), gammalinolenic acid, dihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA) and arachidonic acid], and estimates of delta-5 desaturase and delta-6 desaturase activities among the participants (N = 1361) of the Singaporean Chinese Health Study. Our results reveal robust genome-wide associations (p value <5 × 10−8) with ALA, all four n-6 PUFAs, and delta-6 desaturase activity at the FADS1/FADS2 locus. We further replicated the associations between common index variants at the NTAN1/PDXDC1 locus and n-6 PUFAs LA and DGLA, and between the JMJD1C locus and n-6 PUFA LA (p value between 0.0490 and 9.88 × 10−4). These associations were independent of dietary intake of PUFAs. In aggregate, we show that genetic loci that influence plasma concentrations of n-3 and n-6 PUFAs are shared across different ethnic groups.

Serine protease inhibitor SerpinE2 is known as a cytokine-inducible gene. Here, we investigated whether tumor necrosis factor alpha-(TNF-alpha)-induced expression of SerpinE2 is mediated by the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) p65 subunit. Both steady state and TNF-alpha-induced expression of SerpinE2 mRNA were abrogated in p65-/- murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Reconstitution with wild-type p65 rescued SerpinE2 mRNA expression in an IkappaB kinase beta-dependent manner. Electrophoresis mobility shift assay and ChIP assay demonstrated that p65 bound to the kappaB-like DNA sequence located at approximately -9 kbp in the SerpinE2 promoter. In addition, TNF-alpha stimulated luciferase gene expression driven by the kappaB-like element in the reconstituted MEFs, but not in p65-/- MEFs. These results indicated that activation of NF-kappaB p65 plays an important role in TNF-alpha-induced expression of SerpinE2. 相似文献

Consumption of chicken meat enriched with bioactive compounds such as n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAn-3), vitamin E (vE) and selenium (Se) can help prevent many diseases and can be used to deliver those substances to humans. This might be of importance as chicken meat consumption is increasing worldwide. The effects of enriching chicken meat with PUFAn-3, vE and Se through dietary interventions were studied in rats. Four groups of Ross 308 female broilers from day 22 to day 35 of age were fed control diet (L) that contained lard and 80 mg vE and 0.3 mg Se/kg, or diets that contained rape seeds and fish oil with the same level of Se and vE as in the control diet, the same level of Se as in the control and 150 mg vE/kg, or 150 mg of vE and 0.7 mg Se/kg. Broiler carcasses were boiled, deboned, lyophilized and pooled by group. Boiled edible components of chicken carcass (BECC) were included (240 g/kg) in the diets fed to four groups of ten 10-week-old Wistar male rats for 8 weeks. Inclusion of BECCs modulated dietary fatty acid profile in the rat diets. Feeding these diets did not influence parameters related to growth or relative weights of internal organs in the rats. Feeding BECCs with lower PUFAn-6/n-3 decreased the n-6/n-3 ratio in the rat brain and liver, and increased the proportion of docosahexaenoic acid in the brain lipids. Liver cholesterol level was similar among the experimental groups, whereas the concentration of vE in the liver of rats fed BECC with increased vE levels was higher than that in the rats fed BECC with the basal vE level. Haematological and biochemical parameters in blood were within the normal range for rats, but a few rats showed a tendency towards increased levels because of the higher vE and Se level. The health-promoting effect of feeding rats PUFAn-3 enriched BECC was more pronounced when an increased dietary level of vE was used, but the increased level of Se did not provide the rats with additional benefits. Thus, the findings indicate that BECC enriched with PUFAn-3 and vE by a dietary intervention is a functional food with great potential of implementation. 相似文献

The use of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in surgical patients has risen by the fact that this may attenuate systemic and acute inflammatory responses secondary to surgical trauma through modulation of inflammatory mediators and cell membrane interactions. Moreover, the inclusion of n-3 fatty acids in clinical trials as part of the therapy in patients, who expect to undergo a surgical stress, suggests benefits on clinical progress. Therefore, the objective of this article is to review data from n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid effects on biochemical parameters and on reduced length of hospitalization, number of infections, and mortality as main clinical outcomes in human surgical patients. 相似文献
