Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid block serotonin-induced smooth muscle cell proliferation.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) present in fish oils have been ascribed as having significant antithrombotic and antiatherosclerotic effects. Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and restenosis. Recent studies have indicated that serotonin at concentrations present at sites of vascular injury st...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle cells preloaded with eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid fail to respond to serotonin stimulation.
Epidemiological, animal and clinical studies indicate that n-3 fatty acids may benefit individuals with known history of cardiovascular disease or at risk of developing it. Though there is indirect evidence to suggest that the beneficial effects of n-3 fatty acids may be because of their ability to inhibit smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, there are no studies that have examined this hypo...
متن کاملDocosahexaenoic Acid Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation Induced by Glucose Variability
BACKGROUND Vascular Smooth Muscle cells (VSMC) enact crucial roles in early vasculogenesis and sustenance of vascular integrity. However, aberrant proliferation of VSMC followed by migration into the blood vessel wall leads to the formation of vascular lesions accounting for the degeneration and remodelling of vascular basement membrane. In diabetes, hyperglycaemia accelerates VSMC proliferatio...
متن کاملInhibition of PC3 human prostate cancer cell proliferation, invasion and migration by eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid.
The n-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), found in fish oil, exert a number of beneficial effects, and they are used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. In recent years, EPA and DHA have been found to affect cancer cell proliferation. In the present study, PC3 cells, which are androgen-independent prostate cancer cells that resemble castration-resistant pr...
متن کاملCell proliferation inhibition and alterations in retinol esterification induced by phytanic acid and docosahexaenoic acid.
We investigated the effects of two natural dietary retinoid X receptor (RXR) ligands, phytanic acid (PA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on proliferation and on the metabolism of retinol (vitamin A) in both cultured normal human prostate epithelial cells (PrECs) and PC-3 prostate carcinoma cells. PA and DHA inhibited the proliferation of the parental PC-3 cells and PC-3 cells engineered to over...
