چکیده

Omega-6 ( -6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), abundant in the Western diet, are precursors for a number of key mediators of inflammation including the 2-series of prostaglandins (PG). PGE2, a cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolite of arachidonic acid, a -6 PUFA, is a potent mediator of inflammation and cell proliferation. Dietary supplements rich in -3 PUFA reduce the concentrations of 2-series PG and increase the synthesis of 3-series PG (e.g., PGE3), which are believed to be less inflammatory. However, studies on cellular consequences of increases in 3-series PG in comparison to 2-series PG have not been reported. In this study, we compared the effects of PGE2 and PGE3 on (i) cell proliferation in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, (ii) expression and transcriptional regulation of the COX-2 gene in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, and (iii) the production of an inflammatory cytokine, IL-6, in RAW 264.7 macrophages. PGE3, unlike PGE2, is not mitogenic to NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. PGE2 and PGE3 both induce COX-2 mRNA via similar signaling mechanisms; however, compared with PGE2, PGE3 is significantly less efficient in inducing COX-2 gene expression. Furthermore, although both PGE2 and PGE3 induce IL-6 synthesis in RAW 264.7 macrophages, PGE3 is substantially less efficient compared with PGE2. We further show that increasing the -3 content of membrane phospholipid results in a decrease in mitogen-induced PGE2 synthesis. Taken together, our data suggest that successful replacement of -6 PUFA with -3 PUFA in cell membranes can result in a decreased cellular response to mitogenic and inflammatory stimuli.

Effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on ovarian function and prostaglandin secretion in lactating dairy cows

As lactating cows in severe negative energy balance have poor reproductive performance, the effect of dietary fat supplementation (fish oil, soybean oil) on PGFM secretion, ovarian function and blood metabolites is investigated. In this experiment, the effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma metabolites, ovarian function and prostaglandin secretion of 20 primiparous Holstein co...

HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Modulation of angiogenesis by -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is mediated by cyclooxygenases

The potential role of dietary fats in cancer is attracting considerable interest within the community. Both epidemiologic and experimental findings suggest that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids ( -3 PUFAs), which are almost absent from typical Western diets, exert protective effects against cancer progression, although the precise mechanism of this suppression remains unknown. One of the pot...

The role of cyclooxygenase in n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid mediated effects on cell proliferation, PGE(2) synthesis and cytotoxicity in human colorectal carcinoma cell lines.

This study was conducted to investigate the role of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) and its prostaglandin product PGE(2) in n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-mediated effects on cellular proliferation of two human colorectal carcinoma cell lines. The long chain PUFAs eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3) and arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n-6) both inhibited cell proliferation of Caco-2 c...

Metabolic Effects of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Chickens: A Review

Chicken has been used as a suitable model for lipid metabolism studies, because dietary modifications especially dietary fat type can change chicken body composition. Fats act as a condense source of energy and certain fatty acids such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are required for both animal and human health. The n-3 PUFAs, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic ...

Elevation of ω-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Attenuates PTEN-deficiency Induced Endometrial Cancer Development through Regulation of COX-2 and PGE2 Production

Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies. Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN)-mutation is frequently identified in endometrial cancer patients. Although high dietary intake of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been associated with reduced risk of endometrial cancer, the underlying mechanisms is still unknown. To this end, we evaluated the impact of ω-3...
