Dietary fat’gene interactions in cancer

Abstract: Epidemiologic studies have suggested for decades an association between dietary fat and cancer risk. A large body of work performed in tissue culture and xenograft models of cancer supports an important role of various types of fat in modulating the cancer phenotype. Yet, the molecular mechanisms underlining the effects of fat on cancer initiation and progression are largely unknown. The relationships between saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, cholesterol or phytanic acid with cancer have been reviewed respec… Show more

“…However, the hydrolysis of the fish was characterized by an initial rapid phase, during which a large number of peptide bonds were hydrolyzed. The protease activity red sea bream Pagrus major [32] and Takifugu obscurus [33] also initiate hydrolysis of the intact protein as it was observed in the present study.…”

“…Treatment of aggressive metastatic breast cancer cell lines with DHA and EPA decreased transcription of polycomb group (PcG) protein, enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) (Dimri et al,), a protein that is over expressed in metastatic cells. Conversely, treatment with linoleic acid and arachidonic acid, two n-6 PUFAs, had no effect on EZH2 expression, confirming previous reports that suggest the beneficial effects of fatty acids on metastasis are specific for n-3 PUFAs, while n-6 PUFAs are associated with increased risk of metastasis (Bartsch et al, 1999;Chen et al, 2007;Hubbard & Erickson, 1987). DHA and EPA were also shown to inhibit expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 (Suzuki et al, 1997).…”

“…In addition, saturated fat intake has been linked to an increased risk of disease progression and death in men with prostate cancer (16,17). There are several potential mechanisms by which saturated fat intake might influence disease progression, including its influence on circulating sex steroid hormones (32) and providing an advantage for tumor cell survival and proliferation (33).…”
