Inhibition of neuronal apoptosis by docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3). Role of phosphatidylserine in antiapoptotic effect.
Enrichment of Neuro 2A cells with docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) decreased apoptotic cell death induced by serum starvation as evidenced by the reduced DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activity. The protective effect of 22:6n-3 became evident only after at least 24 h of enrichment before serum starvation and was potentiated as a function of the enrichment period. During enrichment 22:6n-3 incorp...
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...
متن کاملDocosahexaenoic Acid Induces Apoptosis in Primary Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is an indolent disorder with an increased infectious risk remaining one of the main causes of death. Development of therapies with higher safety profile is thus a challenging issue. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6) is an omega-3 fatty acid, a natural compound of normal cells, and has been shown to display antitumor potency in cancer. We evaluated the potential in vi...
متن کاملDocosahexaenoic acid (DHA) induces apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
The docosahexaenoic (DHA), a ω-3 fatty acid, could play a beneficial inhibition of the incidence and progress of a series of human diseases including cancer. It has been report that DHA is involved in cell apoptosis. Recent studies show that the signal transduction pathway links with bcl-2, bax, caspase-3 and MMP-9 molecules. Therefore, we tested the relationship between DHA and cell apoptosis ...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 attenuates omega3 fatty acid-induced apoptosis by inhibition of caspase 3.
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) may be involved in the induction of vascular hypertrophy in hypertension. ET-1 may also modulate vascular growth through the exertion of antiapoptotic effects. The omega3 fatty acids (omega3 FAs), which have antiproliferative effects in various cell types, may have a beneficial role in hypertension. We tested the hypothesis that ET-1 could act as a survival factor against om...
