Cell proliferation’ differentiation’ and apoptosis are modified by n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in normal colonic mucosa

Abstract: Supplementation with low doses of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) or docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid was used here to investigate changes in epithelial proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in normal rat colonic mucosa. ACI/T rats received by oral administration low doses of purified EPA or DHA ethyl esters (1 g/kg body weight) and colonic mucosa was analyzed for cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. n-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acid incorporation into membrane phospholipids was investigated as reflection… Show more

“…Oils containing high proportions of readily oxidizable n-3 PUFA could lower the oxidative stability of gut, which could predispose cell or tissue to free radical attack. The high level of n-3 PUFA seemed to cause negative effects for epithelial cells (Calviello et al, 1999) and even induced mucosa apoptosis (Courtney et al, 2007) and reduced the villous height in rats (Perin et al, 1999).…”

“…Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to slow cell proliferation in normal tissues (Anti et al, 1994;Bartram et al, 1993;Calviello et al, 1999;Meydani et al, 1991) thus the observed reduction in the number of micronuclei in peripheral erythrocytes and in the number of apoptotic figures in the duodenal crypts of mice treated with CPT-11 and fed AAFA TM may simply be due to slower proliferation during the time of CPT-11 treatment. The fact that we observed less apoptosis in the crypt columns of the mice yet the number of cells in each crypt column was not changed also indicates that proliferation in the intestinal mucosa was slowed due to AAFA TM consumption.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] A number of studies have indicated that DHA's anticancer properties are not directly due to cytotoxicity but rather to the fatty acid's ability to induce apoptosis. [15][16][17][18] However, the molecular mechanism for the anticancer actions of omega-3 fatty acids remains unknown. Understanding the mechanistic effects of omega-3 lipids may aid in the development of new cancer therapies.…”
