Abnormal fatty acid distribution of the serum phospholipids of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Abstract: The data about the fatty acid (FA) status of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients are poor. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the FA profile of serum phospholipids in NHL patients related to the aggressiveness and clinical stage of NHL. We analyzed the FA profile of serum phospholipids in 47 newly diagnosed, untreated NHL patients and in 29 healthy subjects. Significantly higher (p < 0.001) levels of palmitic (16:0), oleic (18:1 n-9) and arachidonic acids (20:4 n-6), saturated and monounsatura… Show more

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated that the significant decrease in linoleic acid (18:2, n-6) and increase in oleic acid (18:1n-9) were observed in plasma/serum/erythrocyte membrane phospholipids of patients with malignant diseases [30], such as bladder cancer [25,26], colorectal cancer [31], non-Hodgkin lymphoma [17] and prostatic carcinoma [6], which was consistent with our results. However, these changes were not in agreement with the results from breast cancer studies [32].…”

“…Indeed, DHA has been documented to have a range of anti-tumor effects, including inhibitory effects on tumor angiogenesis (5), apoptosis-inducing activity (6), inhibitory effects on tumor invasion and metastasis (7,8) and regulatory effects on signaling pathways (9). In addition, it has been documented that serum levels of omega-3 FAs in patients with pancreatic cancer, lung cancer or non-Hodgkin lymphoma were lower than those in healthy controls (25,26), with the lowest levels observed in patients with more advanced-stage cancer (26,27). It has also been demonstrated that DHA reduces metastasis in animal models using mice (7,8) and prevents the migration and invasion of human MDA-MB-231 mammary cancer cells in vitro (7).…”

“…27 The ratios of 20:4/20:3, 20:3/18:2 and 22:6/22:5 were used as a measure of estimated ∆5-desaturase, ∆6-desaturase and ∆4-desaturase activities respectively, while 18:1/18:0 and 18:0/16:0 ratios represented estimated ∆9-desaturase and elongase activities.…”
