the effect of omega- 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on endothelial tight junction occludin expression in rat aorta during lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation

چکیده
objective(s): occludin is essential for proper assembly of tight junctions (tjs) which regulate paracellular endothelial permeability. omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 pufa) protect endothelial barrier function against injury. materials and methods: we examined anti-inflammatory effect of ω-3 pufa intake (30 mg/kg/day for 10 days) on expression and location of occludin in the aorta of adult wistar rats after a single dose of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (lps, escherichia coli, 1 mg/kg). the ultrastructure of tjs after lps administration was also investigated. we measured plasma levels of c-reactive protein (crp), malondialdehyde (mda) and cd68 expression and determined the total activity of no synthase (nos) in the aortic tissue. results:lps induced a significant decrease of occludin expression accompanied by structural alterations of tjs. levels of crp, mda, cd68 and nos activity were elevated after lps injection compared to controls indicating presence of moderate inflammation. ω-3 pufa supplementation did not affect occludin expression in treated inflammatory group. however they reduced crp and mda concentration and cd68 expression, but conversely, they increased nos activity compared to inflammatory group. conclusion:our results indicate that a single dose of lps could have a long-term impact on occludin expression and thus contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. 10-day administration of ω-3 pufa had partial anti-inflammatory effects on health of rats without any effect on occludin expression.

متن کاملEvaluation of the Relationship between Endometriosis and Omega-3 and Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
Background: Endometriosis is a common chronic inflammation causing major problems including infertility. The role of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as their potential anti-inflammatory effects in endometriosis needs to be further explored. The objective of this study was to compare serum phospholipid fatty acid profile in endometriosis patients with controls, and to explore the correlation of ...

BACKGROUND: Hepatic steatosis due to estrogen therapyincreases the activity of inflammatory markers, particularly theactivity of TNFα which in turn induces more lipogenesis.Omega-3 fatty acids are among the negative regulators of hepaticlipogenesis. OBJECTIVES: In this research, the preventive effectof omega-3 fatty acids on estrogen-induced steatosis in rats wasevaluated. METHODS:2 mg/kg. BW/S...

Effect of Short and Long-Term Treatment with Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Scopolamine-Induced Amnesia
Two omega-3 fatty acids including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are essential for the physiologic function of neuronal cell membrane. Normal function of neuronal cell membrane requires appropriate composition of fatty in its structure. Present study was designed to compare the effect of short-term and long-term pretreatment with omega-3 fatty acids on scopolamine...
