چکیده

Some, but not all, studies have suggested that high-fat diets promote colon carcinogenesis, possibly by stimulating the proliferative activity of colonic epithelium. Both the increase in colonic excretion of bile salts and of fatty acids that occur with an increase in fat ingestion have been implicated as stimuli of epithelial proliferative activity. In this study, we examined the role of activation of protein kinase C in fatty acid-induced stimulation of colonic epithelial proliferation in the rat. Intracolonic instillation of arachidonate, linoleate, or oleate at concentrations that did not induce surface cell injury or loss increased colonic mucosal ornithine decarboxylase activity and stimulated incorporation of [3H]thymidine into mucosal deoxyribonucleic acid. The saturated fatty acid palmitate was without effect. Arachidonate, linoleate, and oleate each induced the translocation of protein kinase C activity from the soluble fraction to the membrane fraction of colonic mucosa, an index of enzyme activation. The translocation of protein kinase C induced by unsaturated fatty acids occurred both in vivo after intracolonic instillation of these agents and in vitro upon incubation of isolated colonic crypt epithelium with fatty acids. The effects of the unsaturated fatty acids on both enzyme translocation and colonic epithelial proliferative activity were suppressed by 1-(5-isoquinolinyl)-2-methylpiperazine, an inhibitor of protein kinase C activity. Unsaturated fatty acids directly stimulated soluble colonic mucosal protein kinase C activity when added to the enzyme assay mixture. This action was blocked by 1-(5-isoquinolinyl)-2-methylpiperazine. However, unsaturated fatty acids also increased the breakdown of polyphosphoinositides when added to isolated colonic epithelium. The increase in polyphosphoinositide breakdown resulted in release of diacylglycerol, an endogenous activator of protein kinase C. Thus, unsaturated fatty acids may activate protein kinase C of colonic epithelium through either a direct intracellular effect or through an action on the cell membrane. The results support a role for protein kinase C in the stimulation of colonic epithelial proliferation by unsaturated fatty acids.

P28: The Effects of Omega-3 and 6 Fatty Acids on Hippocampus and Learning

One of the most nervous system evolution are memory and learning in humans. Learning is a skill that enhances synaptic activity in the hippocampus of prefrontal cortex. In fact, basic passive learning is communication between the conditioned and Unconditioned stimulation. Passive learning involves three steps: habit, education and remember. According to the results of investigations, the hippoc...

Activation of protein kinase C by cis- and trans-fatty acids and its potentiation by diacylglycerol.

Both cis- and trans-unsaturated but not saturated fatty acids activated protein kinase C purified to apparent homogeneity from rat brain. Fatty-acid-induced enzyme activation was not more than additive with that by phospholipids and was potentiated by diacylglycerol. Recently, we demonstrated that cis- and trans-unsaturated fatty acids induced platelet aggregation and phosphorylation of specifi...

Evaluation of Protein, Fat and Fatty Acids Content of the Pistachio (pistacia vera l.) Cultivars of Damghan, Iran

Pistachio nut has high nutritional value. The fat and protein are the common part of pistachio. Major part (about 88%) of the fat content of pistachio includes unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are known to have positive effects on human health like preventing to heart diseases. This research has evaluated protein, fat and fatty acids content of some commercial pistachio cultivar...

Structural requirements for stimulation of colonic cell proliferation by oxidized fatty acids.

The primary autoxidation products of polyunsaturated fatty acids are known to stimulate DNA synthesis and induce ornithine decarboxylase activity in colonic mucosa. In the present study we have determined the structural features of the oxidized fatty acids necessary for the stimulation of these two components of mitogenesis. Compounds were instilled intrarectally in either aqueous or mineral oi...

Interleukin-8 stimulates the migration of human colonic epithelial cells in vitro.

The migration of colonic epithelial cells (restitution) is an important event in the repair of mucosal injuries. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a physiological initiator of the chemotactic migration of leucocytes. This study aimed to determine whether IL-8 had a similar effect on migration in an in vitro model of wounded colonic epithelium. Cell migration over 24 h was assessed in circular wounds made...
