Suppression of Fatty Acid Synthase by Dietary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids is Mediated by Fat itself, not by Peroxidative Mechanism

Abstract: This study examined the effect of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that were supplemented with vitamin E on lipid peroxidation, glutathione-dependent detoxifying enzyme system activity, and lipogenic fatty acid synthase (FAS) expression in rat liver. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed semipurified diets containing either 1% (w/w) corn oil or 10% each of beef tallow, corn oil, perilla oil, and fish oil for 4 wk. Alpha-tocopherol was supplemented in perilla oil (0.015%) and fish oil (0.019%). Hepatic th… Show more

“…However, it is conceivable that the reduction in MCAD reflects a response to fatty acid chain length profile rather than lipid content per se. Food deprivation caused a marked reduction in FAS, consistent with a shift away from lipogenesis, as seen in other models (Field et al, 2003;Kim et al, 2003;Li et al, 2006;Paulauskis and Sul, 1988).…”

“…Feeding full-fat canola seeds has also reduced levels of C16:0 and C16:1 in beef tissues (St. John et al 1987;Rule et al 1994). Sixteen C fatty acids are commonly reduced in deposited fat when oils are supplemented in the diet (Markus et al 1996;Mir et al 2003b;Gibb et al 2004), a response that likely reflects reduced de novo fatty acid synthesis in tissues (Kim et al 2003;Vernon 1976) and/or dilution resulting from increased levels of 18 C fatty acids.…”

“…A popular but controversial view is that the cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects of exogenous GLA or ALA are due to formation of peroxidation products that could then inhibit FAS (13,22). On the other hand, experimental data showed that PUFAs themselves are responsible for FAS suppression (23). To further our molecular understanding of these issues, we carried out structural and biochemical studies of the 32 kDa TE domain of hFAS covalently modified by a methylfluorophosphonate head group linked to a γ-linolenyl acyl tail and, prompted by the results, investigated the inhibitions of related PUFAs on the TE activity, fatty acid biosynthesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and human breast cancer cell lines.…”
