Abstract
With the increasing public attention to the health benefit of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and demand for linolenic acid (C18:3), it is of great significance to increase the C18:3 content in our meal. As an oil crop with high content of C18:3, Camelina sativa has three homologous copies of FAD2 and three homologous copies FAD3. In this study, we seed-specifically overexpressed two Camelina sativa fatty acid desaturase genes, CsFAD2 and CsFAD3, in rapeseed cultivar Zhongshuang 9. The results show that C18:3 content in CsFAD2 and CsFAD3 overexpressed seeds is increased from 8.62% in wild-type (WT) to 10.62-12.95% and 14.54-26.16%, respectively. We crossed CsFAD2 and CsFAD3 overexpression lines, and stable homozygous digenic crossed lines were obtained. The C18:3 content was increased from 8.62% in WT to 28.46-53.57% in crossed overexpression lines. In addition, we found that the overexpression of CsFAD2 and CsFAD3 had no effect on rapeseed growth, development, and other agronomic traits. In conclusion, we successfully generated rapeseed germplasms with high C18:3 content by simultaneously overexpressing CsFAD2 and CsFAD3, which provides a feasible way for breeding high C18:3 rapeseed cultivars.

Koo H, Kim S, Lee J. Comparison of physicochemical properties and oxidative stability of microencapsulated perilla oil powder prepared by freeze-drying and spray-drying. Food Sci Biotechnol 2023; 32:1831-1839.

Abstract
Perilla oil is vulnerable to lipid oxidation owing to its high linolenic acid content. Microencapsulation using freeze- and spray-drying methods was applied to enhance the oxidative stability and change the physicochemical properties of perilla oil. Freeze-dried powder (FDP) possessed 11.77 to 38.48% oil content, whereas spray-dried powder (SDP) had 8.90-27.83% oil content. Encapsulation efficiency ranged from 51.22 to 85.71% by freeze-drying and from 77.38 to 90.74% by spray-drying. The oxidative stability of powders depends on the oil content and production methods. Generally, FDP had higher oxidative stability and water solubility, and lower moisture content and water activity than SDP. The particle size of FDP (154.00-192.00 μm) in volume-weight mean diameter was 2.56-24.49 times larger than that of SDP (7.84-72.03 μm). SDP had a lower volatile content at the initial time of storage than FDP, while more volatiles were observed in SDP as storage time increased. The microencapsulation method should be selected appropriately depending on the target property or usage in food applications.

The Genome of the Korean Island-Originated Perilla citriodora 'Jeju17' Sheds Light on Its Environmental Adaptation and Fatty Acid and Lipid Production Pathways. Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:1898. [PMID: 37895247 PMCID: PMC10606934 DOI: 10.3390/genes14101898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Perilla is a key component of Korean food. It contains several plant-specialized metabolites that provide medical benefits. In response to an increased interest in healthy supplement food from the public, people are focusing on the properties of Perilla. Nevertheless, unlike rice and soybeans, there are few studies based on molecular genetics on Perilla, so it is difficult to systematically study the molecular breed. The wild Perilla, Perilla citriodora 'Jeju17', was identified a decade ago on the Korean island of Jeju. Using short-reads, long-reads, and Hi-C, a chromosome-scale genome spanning 676 Mbp, with high contiguity, was assembled. Aligning the 'Jeju17' genome to the 'PC002' Chinese species revealed significant collinearity with respect to the total length. A total of 31,769 coding sequences were predicted, among which 3331 were 'Jeju17'-specific. Gene enrichment of the species-specific gene repertoire highlighted environment adaptation, fatty acid metabolism, and plant-specialized metabolite biosynthesis. Using a homology-based approach, genes involved in fatty acid and lipid triacylglycerol biosynthesis were identified. A total of 22 fatty acid desaturases were found and comprehensively characterized. Expression of the FAD genes in 'Jeju17' was examined at the seed level, and hormone signaling factors were identified. The results showed that the expression of FAD genes in 'Jeju17' at the seed level was high 25 days after flowering, and their responses of hormones and stress were mainly associated with hormone signal transduction and abiotic stress via cis-elements patterns. This study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of P. citriodora 'Jeju17', the first wild Perilla to be sequenced from the Korean island of Jeju. The analyses provided can be useful in designing ALA-enhanced Perilla genotypes in the future.

Abstract
AbstractHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), also known as hepatoma, is the most prevalent type of primary liver cancer. It begins in the hepatocytes, the liver’s major cell type. Cancer that began in another region of the body but has spread to the liver is known as secondary cancer of life; several still unmet demands for better, less toxic therapy to treat this malignant tumor. Several novel pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized as part of our goal to develop promising anticancer drugs. All the synthesized hybrids have been screened for their cytotoxicity effect against three cancer cell lines which are; HepG-2, HCT-116, and MCF-7. The liver cancer cells were found to be the most sensitive to the effect of the new molecules. A subsequent set of in vitro biological evaluation studies has been conducted on the most promising derivatives to identify their effect on such a cancer type. In HepG-2 cells, four derivatives (8a, 8b, 10c, and 11b) demonstrated good anticancer activity. The most efficacious compounds were 8b and 10c, which had IC50 values of 2.36 ± 0.14 and 1.14 ± 0.063 μM, respectively, higher than the reference medication Imatinib. The latter’s putative molecular effect has been investigated further by looking at its influence on the cell cycle, EGFR, and specific apoptotic and anti-apoptotic markers in HepG-2 cells. These findings indicated that 8b and 10c could trigger apoptosis by upregulating BAX and caspase-3 and cell cycle at the Pre-G1 and G2-M stages. The compounds 8b and 10c showed high potency for EGFR with IC50 equal to 0.098 and 0.079 μM, respectively. Compound 10c had the most effective inhibitory activity for EGFR L858R-TK with IC50 (36.79 nM). Additionally, in silico ADMET and docking studies were done for the most active hits, representing good results.

Abstract
The addition of lactoferrin and three unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and linolenic acid, to dairy products was approved in recent years. Research into the biological activities of lactoferrin and these three unsaturated fatty acids has revealed anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant, antitumor, antiparasitic, and antibiotic effects. However, investigations and comparisons of lactoferrin + oleic acid/DHA/linolenic acid combinations in an esophageal cancer cell model and in xenograft tumor models have not been extensively reported, and the related mechanism of these combinations remains elusive. In the present study, the effects of lactoferrin and the three fatty acids on KYSE450 cell viability, migration, and invasion were investigated to choose the proper doses and effective combination in vitro. A tumor-bearing nude mouse model was established to investigate the role of selected combinations in inhibiting esophageal tumor formation in vivo. Metabonomics detection and data analysis were performed to screen special metabolites and related pathways, which were validated by western blotting. The results demonstrated that lactoferrin, the three unsaturated fatty acids, and their combinations inhibited the viability, migration, and invasion of KYSE450 cells and induced apoptosis and the lactoferrin + linolenic acid combination exhibited the strongest activity in suppressing KYSE450 tumor formation in vivo. The lactoferrin + linolenic acid combination inhibited phosphorylation in the JAK2/STAT3-related pathway by downregulating the special metabolite lithocholyltaurine, thereby suppressing formation of KYSE450 tumors.

Abstract
Mammary gland tumour has the highest incidence rate and mortality in women, worldwide. The present study envisaged a molecularly targeted nanostructured lipid carrier (NLCs) for doxorubicin (Dox) delivery capable of inducing cellular apoptosis in mammary gland tumour. NLCs were prepared utilizing Perilla frutescens oil (54-69% ω3-fatty acid) as liquid lipid to enhance entrapment of Dox through molecular ion pairing. Biotin decorated NLCs (b-Dox-NLCs) were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The b-Dox-NLCs showed particle size of 105.2 ± 3.5 nm, zeta potential -35 ± 2 mV, entrapment 99.15 ± 1.71%, drug content 19.67 ± 2.6 mg.g-1, biotin content 5.85 ± 0.64 µg.g-1 and drug release 98.67 ± 2.43% (facilitated by acidic microenvironment) respectively. MTT assay and Flow cytometric analysis revealed higher anti-proliferative capability of b-Dox-NLCs to force apoptosis in MCF-7 cell line vis-à-vis marketed Dox, evidenced by reactive oxygen species level and mitochondrial membrane potential mediated apoptosis. Enhanced antitumor targeting, therapeutic safety and efficacy was exhibited by b-Dox-NLCs, as investigated through tumour volume, animal survival, weight variation, cardiotoxicity and biodistribution studies in 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene induced mammary gland tumour. Immunoblotting assay demonstrated b-Dox-NLCs downregulated anti-apoptotic proteins, i.e. bcl-2, MMP-9 while upregulated pro-apoptotic proteins, i.e. caspase-9, p16 and BAX. The experimental results suggest that biotinylated ω3-fatty acid augmented NLCs loaded with Dox are capable of inducing programmed cell death in mammary tumour and can be utilized as safe and effective delivery system with enhanced potential for mammary gland carcinoma therapy.

Abstract
The current trend for substituting synthetic compounds with natural ones in the design and production of functional and healthy foods has increased the research interest about natural colorants. Although coloring agents from plant origin are already used in the food and beverage industry, the market and consumer demands for novel and diverse food products are increasing and new plant sources are explored. Fresh vegetables are considered a good source of such compounds, especially when considering the great color diversity that exists among the various species or even the cultivars within the same species. In the present review we aim to present the most common species of colored vegetables, focusing on leafy and fruit vegetables, as well as on vegetables where other plant parts are commercially used, with special attention to blue color. The compounds that are responsible for the uncommon colors will be also presented and their beneficial health effects and antioxidant properties will be unraveled.

Abstract
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)-enriched diacylglycerol (DAG) oil is an edible oil enriched with DAG (>80%) and ALA (>50%). The present study investigated whether ALA-DAG oil promotes tumorigenesis in the tongue and gastrointestinal tract, using a rat medium-term multi-organ carcinogenesis bioassay model. Rats were treated with five genotoxic carcinogens to induce multi-organ tumorigenesis until week 4, and from 1 week after withdrawal, fed a semi-synthetic diet (AIN-93G) containing ALA-DAG oil at concentrations of 0, 13,750, 27,500, and 55,000 ppm. Rats fed AIN-93G containing 55,000 ppm ALA-triacylglycerol or a standard basal diet served as reference and negative control groups, respectively. Animals were euthanized at week 30. ALA-DAG oil was shown to have no effects on survival, general condition, body weight, food consumption, or organ weight. More discolored spots were observed in the stomachs of the 13,750- and 55,000-ppm ALA-DAG groups than in those of the control groups; however, there were no differences in the frequency of histopathological findings across groups. There were no meaningful increases in the incidence of pre-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions in the tongue and gastrointestinal tract among the groups. We therefore conclude that ALA-DAG oil does not promote tumor development in the digestive system.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of three kinds of vegetable oils with different fatty acid compositions against cognitive impairment in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model. After intracerebroventricular injection of amyloid beta25-35 (Aβ25-35) into the brain of institute of cancer research mice, olive oil (rich in oleic acid, C18:1), corn oil (rich in linoleic acid, C18:2), and perilla oil (rich in α-linolenic acid [ALA], C18:3) were administered at the oral dose of 500 mg/kg/day for 14 days. The results revealed that Aβ25-35 induced learning and memory dysfunction according to the T-maze, novel object recognition, and Morris water maze tests. Among the three vegetable oils, however, the perilla oil group of mice showed marked attenuation of cognitive impairment, that is, a greater number of explorations on a new route/object than on an old route/object in the T-maze and novel object recognition tests. In the Morris water maze test, perilla oil decreased the time to reach the platform and increased the number of crossings over the target quadrant in which the platform was located previously. Furthermore, the beneficial effect of perilla oil supplementation on oxidative stress was reflected in the inhibition of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide (NO) production in Aβ25-35-injected mice. We also found that perilla oil downregulated protein expression levels of inducible NO synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 and upregulated brain-derived neurotrophic factor. These findings showed that ALA-rich perilla oil has a potential for prevention or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.

Abstract
Linseed or flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) varieties differ markedly in their seed α-linolenic acid (ALA) levels. Fatty acid desaturases play a key role in accumulating ALA in seed. We performed fatty acid (FA) profiling of various seed developmental stages of ten Indian linseed varieties including one mutant variety. Depending on their ALA contents, these varieties were grouped under high ALA and low ALA groups. Transcript profiling of six microsomal desaturase genes (SAD1, SAD2, FAD2, FAD2-2, FAD3A and FAD3B), which act sequentially in the fatty acid desaturation pathway, was performed using real-time PCR. We observed gene specific as well as temporal expression pattern for all the desaturases and their differential expression profiles corresponded well with the variation in FA accumulation in the two groups. Our study points to efficient conversion of intermediate FAs [stearic (SA), oleic (OA) and linoleic acids (LA)] to the final product, ALA, due to efficient action of all the desaturases in high ALA group. While in the low ALA group, even though the initial conversion up to OA was efficient, later conversions up to ALA seemed to be inefficient, leading to higher accumulation of OA and LA instead of ALA. We sequenced the six desaturase genes from the ten varieties and observed that variation in the amino acid (AA) sequences of desaturases was not responsible for differential ALA accumulation, except in the mutant variety TL23 with very low (<2%) ALA content. In TL23, a point mutation in the FAD3A gene resulted into a premature stop codon generating a truncated protein with 291 AA.

Abstract
PURPOSE An increased dietary intake of fat, particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), has been related to an increased risk of breast, prostate and colon cancers. Patients with and without colon cancer were tested for differences in their fatty stores composition. METHODS The fatty acid levels were determined by gas-liquid chromatography in adipose tissue samples, subcutaneous and visceral, obtained intra-operatively from 52 colon cancer and 50 nonneoplastic abdominal disease patients. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA, SNK test and Dunnet test. Differences in the composition of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, in visceral and in subcutaneous samples of colon cancer and nonneoplastic patients, were assessed. RESULTS The sum of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, respectively, in visceral and in subcutaneous samples, was higher in neoplastic patients (p < 0.001). The sum of some n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), the dietary precursor linoleic acid (LA-18:2n-6), and their metabolites, gammalinolenic acid (GLA-18:3n-6) + dihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA-20:3n-6) + arachidonic acid (AA-22:4n-6), was higher in subcutaneous fat of controls (p < 0.05). The samples from these patients had a fatty acid composition, both subcutaneous and visceral, with a higher content of alphalinolenic acid (ALA-18:3n-3) and stearidonic acid (SDA-18:4n-3) compared to neoplastic patients (p < 0.001). These had subcutaneous and visceral fat stores statistically higher in GLA, DGLA and AA (p < 0.001). Colon cancer patients had subcutaneous adipose stores higher in ALA and LA than visceral sites (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Fatty acids may be involved in colon carcinogenesis and there is a depot-specific impact on this process by visceral fat.

Abstract
In the present study, zero-trans α-linolenic acid (ALA) and medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA)-enriched plastic fats were synthesized through enzymatic interesterification reactions from highly hydrogenated soybean oil (HSO), Cinnamomum camphora seed oil (CCSO), and perilla oil (PO). The reactions were performed by incubating the blending mixtures of HSO, CCSO, and PO at different weight ratios (60:40:100, 70:30:100, 80:20:100) using 10% (total weight of substrate) of Lipozyme TL IM at 65 °C for 8 h. After reaction, the physical properties (fatty acids profile, TAG composition, solid fat content, slip melting point, contents of tocopherol, polymorphic forms, and microstructures) of the interesterified products and their physical blends were determined, respectively. Results showed that the fatty acid compositions of the interesterified products and physical blends had no significant changes, while the content of MCFA in both interesterified products and physical blends increased to 8.58-18.72%. Several new types of TAG species were observed in interesterified products (SSL/SLS, PLO/LLS, and OLLn/LnLO/LOLn). It should be mentioned that no trans fatty acids (TFA) were detected in all products. As the temperature increased, the solid fat content (SFC) of interesterified products was obviously lower than that of physical blends. The SFCs of interesterified products (60:40:100, 70:30:100, and 80:20:100, HSO:CCSO:PO) at 25 °C were 6.5%, 14.6%, and 16.5%, respectively, whereas the counterparts of physical blends were 32.5%, 38.5%, and 43.5%, respectively. Meanwhile, interesterified products showed more β' polymorphs than physical blends, in which β' polymorph is a favorite form for production of margarine and shortening. Such zero-trans ALA and MCFA-enriched fats may have desirable physical and nutritional properties for shortenings and margarines.

Abstract
Perilla frutescens seeds are a good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The seeds of perilla are small end globular weight about 4 g/1000, contained approximately 35–45% oil. However the leaves are a very poor source of oil, since they contain only 0.2%. In addition, only the seed oil contains the omega 3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). In comparing to other plant oils, perilla seed oil consistently contains the one of the highest proportion of omega-3 (ALA) fatty acids, at 54–64%. The omega-6 (linoleic acid) component is usually around 14% and omega-9 (Oleic acid) is also present in perilla oil. These polyunsaturated fatty acids are most beneficial to human health and in prevention of different diseases like cardiovascular disorders, cancer, inflammatory, rheumatoid arthritis etc.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have clearly shown that whole-grain cereals can protect against obesity, diabetes, CVD and cancers. The specific effects of food structure (increased satiety, reduced transit time and glycaemic response), fibre (improved faecal bulking and satiety, viscosity and SCFA production, and/or reduced glycaemic response) and Mg (better glycaemic homeostasis through increased insulin secretion), together with the antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties of numerous bioactive compounds, especially those in the bran and germ (minerals, trace elements, vitamins, carotenoids, polyphenols and alkylresorcinols), are today well-recognised mechanisms in this protection. Recent findings, the exhaustive listing of bioactive compounds found in whole-grain wheat, their content in whole-grain, bran and germ fractions and their estimated bioavailability, have led to new hypotheses. The involvement of polyphenols in cell signalling and gene regulation, and of sulfur compounds, lignin and phytic acid should be considered in antioxidant protection. Whole-grain wheat is also a rich source of methyl donors and lipotropes (methionine, betaine, choline, inositol and folates) that may be involved in cardiovascular and/or hepatic protection, lipid metabolism and DNA methylation. Potential protective effects of bound phenolic acids within the colon, of the B-complex vitamins on the nervous system and mental health, of oligosaccharides as prebiotics, of compounds associated with skeleton health, and of other compounds such as alpha-linolenic acid, policosanol, melatonin, phytosterols and para-aminobenzoic acid also deserve to be studied in more depth. Finally, benefits of nutrigenomics to study complex physiological effects of the 'whole-grain package', and the most promising ways for improving the nutritional quality of cereal products are discussed.

Abstract
Dietary flaxseed has been shown to prevent azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colorectal cancers in male Fisher rats. The present study was designed to investigate the chemopreventive effects of dietary flaxseed on the development of intestinal tumors in Apc(Min) mice. Apc(Min) mice were divided into five different groups, fed with control (AIN-93M meal), corn meal, flaxseed meal, corn oil, and flaxseed oil supplemented diets. Results showed that dietary flaxseed significantly decreased (P < 0.05) tumor multiplicity and size in the small intestine and colon as compared to control, corn-treated groups. Intestine, colon, and serum samples of corn-treated groups showed higher levels of omega -6 fatty acids, whereas the flaxseed treated groups exhibited higher levels of omega -3 fatty acids. Lignans were detected in the serum, intestine, and colon samples for flaxseed meal group. COX-1 and COX-2 expression in the colon samples from the flaxseed meal group were significantly lower (P < 0.05) as compared to the corn meal group. Dietary flaxseed may be chemopreventive for intestinal tumor development in Apc(Min) mice possibly by increasing omega -3 fatty acid levels, lignans, and decreasing COX-1 and COX-2 levels.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effect of supplementation of the maternal diet with linseed oil [rich in 18:3(n-3)] on fatty acid composition, mucosal architecture, and mast cell regulation of barrier function in piglet ileum. Sixteen sows were fed a lard (LAR)- or a linseed oil (LSO)-based diet during gestation and lactation. Fatty acid composition of maternal RBC at parturition and of milk at d 14 of lactation were determined. Fatty acid composition, villous-crypt structure, and permeability to horseradish peroxidase in Ussing chambers after mast cell degranulation were determined in the ileum of piglets at d 0, 7, and 28. At d 0, 18:3(n-3) and 20:5(n-3) levels were higher, but 22:6(n-3) and 20:4(n-6) levels were lower in both maternal RBC and piglet ileum of the LSO group. Levels of 18:3(n-3) were also higher in the milk of LSO sows. Levels of 18:3(n-3) were higher in LSO piglet ileum at d 7 and 28. Moreover, at d 28, 20:4(n-6) ileal levels tended (P = 0.09) to be lower in LSO than in LAR piglets, in parallel with a lower mRNA expression of Delta5 desaturase. LSO piglets had shorter villi at d 0 and shorter crypts at d 7 compared with LAR piglets. The effect of mast cell degranulation on ileal permeability decreased with age in both groups but reached a minimum sooner in the LSO group (d 7) than in the LAR group (d 28). In conclusion, linseed oil supplementation of the maternal diet profoundly modifies the fatty acid composition, structure, and physiology of the offspring ileum.

Abstract
The modifying potential of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil on tumor development was investigated in a medium-term multi-organ carcinogenesis bioassay. DAG oil is a cooking oil that contains >80% diglycerides, <20% triglycerides and <5% monoglycerides. Male 6-week-old F344 rats (20 in each group) were sequentially treated with five carcinogens for initiation in different organ target sites for 4 weeks (DMBDD treatment), and then administered DAG oil at dietary levels of 0% (control), 1.375%, 2.75% or 5.5% [triacylglycerol (TGs), with the same fatty acid composition as DAG oil were also added at dietary levels of 5.5%, 4.125%, 2.75% and 0%, respectively, to maintain the same lipid level], or 5.5% high linoleic acid TG (HLTG), 5.5% high oleic acid TG (HOTG), or 5.5% medium-chain TG (MCTG) (as reference substances, mostly consisting of triacylglycerols) admixed into AIN-93G semi-synthetic diet, for an additional 24 weeks. Controls received standard diet without any supplementation as non-treated control. All animals were killed at the end of week 28, and the major organs were carefully examined for preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions. No DAG oil treatment-related changes were noted in survival, general conditions, body weights, food consumption and organ weights. Upon quantitative analysis of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) positive foci of the liver, DAG oil was not found to exert any effects. The incidence of colon adenomas was significantly increased in rats given 1.375% DAG oil, but not 2.75% and 5.5% DAG oil, when compared to the control (5.5% TG group) value. Furthermore, incidences and multiplicity of hyperplasias and adenomas and/or adenocarcinomas were comparable across all DAG oil-treated groups. In contrast, incidences of colon adenomas and/or adenocarcinomas were significantly increased in rats given 5.5% HOTG, and adenomas with MCTG, but not 5.5% HLTG, as compared to the 5.5% TG value. Preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions induced by DMBDD treatment in various organs other than the large intestine were comparable in all cases. Thus, the current results indicate that DAG oil may not exert modifying potential on tumor development, even in the colon because of the lack of dose-dependence. DAG oil was equivalent to HOTG (standard cocking oil composed of naturally occurring fatty acids), with regard to colon tumor development. Further dose-response study concerning HOTG may be needed to confirm whether the enhancing effect of large intestine carcinogenesis exert or not.

Abstract
Flaxseed is a dietary source of possible chemopreventive compounds such as lignans and α-linolenic acid (ALA). To study the effects of a flaxseed mixture on adenoma formation in multiple intestinal neoplasia mice, the mice were fed a diet containing 2·7 % flaxseed, 4·5 % fibre and 3·7 % ALA. To elucidate the effect of oils of the mixture we also composed a diet without flaxseed but with the same oil composition. The median number of adenomas in the small intestine was fifty-four for the control group, and thirty-seven (P=0·023) and forty-two (P=0·095) for flaxseed and oil groups, respectively. Compared with controls (1·2 mm), the adenoma size was smaller in the flaxseed (0·9 mm; P=0·002) and oil (1·0 mm; P=0·012) groups. Both diets changed the proportions of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids in the colonic mucosa. Membrane β-catenin and protein kinase C (PKC)-ζ levels were reduced in the adenoma v. mucosa (P<0·05), and an inverse association was found between the membrane PKC-ζ in the mucosa and the adenoma number (r −0·460, P=0·008, n 32). Only the flaxseed diet increased lignan levels in the caecum (P=0·002) and in plasma (P=0·002) but they were not associated with tumour formation. The results suggest that the preventive effect of flaxseed on colon carcinogenesis may be due to the oil part of flaxseed, and the loss of β-catenin and PKC-ζ from the membranes of the mucosal tissue may play a permissive role in intestinal tumour development.

Abstract
alpha-Eleostearic acid is one of the conjugated linolenic acids from tung oil, which is obtained from the seeds of Aleurites fordii. The effects of dietary alpha-eleostearic acid (18:3, n-5) on the post-initiation period of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced mammary and colon carcinogenesis were examined using female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. For initiation, rats were given subcutaneous injections of 40mg/kg body weight (5 times) and 20mg/kg body weight (3 times) of DMH during the age of 6-8 weeks and a single intragastric administration of 50mg/kg body weight of DMBA at 9 weeks. Then, the animals were treated with 0%, 0.01%, 0.1% or 1.0% alpha-eleostearic acid for 34 weeks. Control rats received the basal diet alone or 1.0% alpha-eleostearic acid without prior initiation treatment. All surviving animals were killed at week 37 of the experiment. There were no statistically significant alterations in any of the parameters for either mammary or colon tumors. These results thus indicate that alpha-eleostearic acid does not exert clear modification effects on DMBA and DMH-induced mammary and colon carcinogenesis, at least under the present experimental conditions.

Abstract
In the Long-Evans Cinnamon rat, copper accumulates in the liver because of a mutation in the copper-transporting ATPase gene, and peroxidative stresses are supposed to be augmented. We examined the effects of dietary fatty acids on hepatitis, hepatic gene expression, and survival. Rats were fed a conventional, low-fat diet (CE2), a CE2 diet supplemented with 10 wt% of lard (Lar), high-linoleic soybean oil (Soy), or a mixture of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-rich fish oil and soybean oil (DHA/Soy). Among female rats, the mean survival times of the DHA/Soy and the Soy groups were longer by 17 approximately 20% than in the Lar and the CE2 groups. Among male rats, the survival times were much longer than in the females, but no significant difference in survival was observed among the dietary groups. Serum ceruloplasmin levels in female and male rats of all of the dietary groups were similar. Serum transaminase levels of the DHA/Soy group tended to be lower than in the CE2 group. Histological examinations revealed a marked degeneration in hepatic tissue integrity in the Lar and CE2 groups but not in the DHA/Soy group. Hepatic levels of metal-related genes, transferrin and ceruloplasmin, as well as those related to bile acid synthesis were up-regulated, and an inflammation-related gene (cyclooxygenase [COX]-2) was down-regulated in the DHA/Soy group. Some proliferation-related genes were also affected by the dietary fatty acids. These results indicate that polyunsaturated fatty acids suppress the development of acute hepatitis and prolong survival in females, regardless of whether they are of the n-6 or n-3 type, which are associated with altered gene expressions.

Abstract
Our previous short-term experiment demonstrated that seed oil from bitter melon (Momordica charantia) (BMO), which is rich in cis(c)9, trans(t)11, t13-conjugated linolenic acid (CLN), inhibited the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF). In our study, the possible inhibitory effect of dietary administration of BMO on the development of colonic neoplasms was investigated using an animal colon carcinogenesis model initiated with a colon carcinogen AOM. Male F344 rats were given subcutaneous injections of AOM (20 mg/kg body weight) once a week for 2 weeks to induce colon neoplasms. They also received diets containing 0.01%, 0.1% or 1% BMO for 32 weeks, starting 1 week before the first dosing of AOM. At the termination of the study (32 weeks), AOM induced 83% incidence (15/18 rats) of colonic adenocarcinoma. Dietary supplementation with 0.01% and 0.1% BMO caused significant reduction in the incidence (47% inhibition by 0.01% BMO, p<0.02; 40% inhibition by 0.1% BMO, p<0.05; and 17% inhibition by 1% BMO) and the multiplicity (64% inhibition by 0.01% BMO, p<0.005; 58% inhibition by 0.1% BMO, p<0.02; and 48% inhibition by 1% BMO, p<0.05) of colonic adenocarcinoma, though a clear dose response was not observed. Such inhibition was associated with the increased content of CLA (c9,t11-18:2) in the lipid composition in colonic mucosa and liver. Also, BMO administration in diet enhanced expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma protein in the nonlesional colonic mucosa. These findings suggest that BMO rich in CLN can suppress AOM-induced colon carcinogenesis and the inhibition might be caused, in part, by modification of lipid composition in the colon and liver and/or increased expression of PPARgamma protein level in the colon mucosa.

Abstract
To clarify preventive effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) against colorectal carcinogenesis, we performed a dietary intervention in patients polypectomized for colorectal adenomas/tumors. For the former the following dietary advice was given: (1) decrease intake of fat from 30 to 20% of the total; (2) decrease consumption of n-6PUFAs containing foods, and increase intake of n-3 PUFAs for 2 years. For the comparison group only decreased intake of fat (30-20%) was recommended. Samples of normal sigmoid colon mucosa, obtained by colonoscopic check once a year during the intervention period, were used to investigate COX-2, cell proliferation (Ki67 expression), p53, Bcl-2 and Bax by immunostaining and determine the apoptosis index (AI) by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-nick end labeling (TUNEL) in 21 and 20 patients in experimental and comparison groups, respectively, who completed the 2 years of the intervention. After 24 months, the AI and positive cells of Bax and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 in normal sigmoid colon mucosa for the experimental group was significantly increased, whereas this change was not found in comparison group. These observations demonstrated for the first time that increased intake of n-3 PUFAs promotes apoptosis of normal colon mucosa in human which is related to effect on Bax or the balance of Bax and Bcl-2.

Abstract
In epidemiologic studies on human colorectal tumors, results on the relative protective effect of soluble and insoluble fibers are not consistent. We studied in this work the effect in rats of feeding guar gum or guar gum together with cellulose on the incidence of colorectal tumors induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine. The results were as follows: (i) The enhancement of tumor formation by feeding solely guar gum (guar gum group) was suppressed completely when two-thirds of the guar gum was replaced with cellulose (cellulose-guar gum group). The odds ratio for tumor formation was 0.075 (95% CI 0.006-0.936, p = 0.044) for guar gum group vs. no fiber control and 0.833 (0.134-5.167, p = 0.83) for cellulose-guar gum group vs. the control. (ii) In both groups, serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels decreased significantly compared to the no fiber control group, and fecal excretion of total bile acids almost doubled. (iii) In guar gum group rats, the deconjugation activity (beta-glucuronidase, beta-glucosidase) was higher than the control or cellulose-guar gum group rats. (iv) The amount of cecal short-chain fatty acids was almost double in guar gum group rats compared to the cellulose-guar gum group or the control rats, and pH of the cecal content of the guar gum group rats had a tendency to be lower. (v) The concentration of fecal secondary bile acids was extremely low in the younger rats of the guar gum group. From these results, it seemed significant to study the cancer preventive effect of the mixed feeding to experimental animals of water-soluble and insoluble fibers instead of the singular feeding.

Groups of 20-22 6-week-old female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were given eight intragastric injections of PhIP at a dose of 100 mg/kg b.w. during the initial 8 week period. Powdered basal diets containing 0.1% CFA-S or CFA-P were applied during or after PhIP treatment until week 40. In the rats receiving CFA-S or CFA-P together with PhIP treatment, retardation of mammary tumor emergence was observed until week 27. The groups given CFA-S or CFA-P after PhIP treatment, in contrast, demonstrated significant decrease in the final incidences of mammary adenocarcinomas. The indices of proliferating cell nuclear antigen positive cells in mammary adenocarcinomas were significantly reduced with both CFA-S and CFA-P in the post-initiation phase. Formation of aberrant crypt foci in the colon and basophilic foci of the pancreas due to the PhIP treatment group were not affected by CFA-S or CFA-P. In a second short-term experiment, female SD rats were maintained on powdered basal diet containing 0.03% PhIP alone or together with 0.1% CFA-S or CFA-P for 4 weeks. Immunohistochemically, CFA-S and CFA-P were revealed to suppress PhIP-DNA adduct formation in the epithelial cells of mammary gland (duct and alveolar cells), colon and pancreas. These results indicated that CFA-P and CFA-S may retard development of PhIP-induced mammary tumors with inhibition of PhIP-DNA adduct formation, and decreased mammary carcinogenesis in the post-initiation period with inhibition of cell proliferation.

Abstract
The modifying effects of dietary feeding of conjugated linolenic acid (CLN) isolated from the seeds of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were investigated in male F344 rats to predict its possible cancer chemopreventive efficacy. The effect of CLN on the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) index in colonic ACF was also examined. Rats were given subcutaneous injections of AOM (20 mg/kg body weight) once a week for 2 weeks to induce ACF. They also received the experimental diet containing 0.01%, 0.1% or 1% CLN for 5 weeks, starting one week before the first dosing of AOM. AOM exposure produced a substantial number of ACF (108 +/- 21/rat) at the end of the study (week 4). Dietary administration of CLN caused a significant reduction in the frequency of ACF: 87 +/- 14 (19.4% reduction, P < 0.05) at a dose of 0.01%, 69 +/- 28 (36.1% reduction, P < 0.01) at a dose of 0.1% and 40 +/- 6 (63.0% reduction, P < 0.001) at a dose of 1%. Also, CLN administration lowered the PCNA index and induced apoptosis in ACF. These findings might suggest possible chemopreventive activity of CLN in the early phase of colon tumorigenesis through modulation of cryptal cell proliferation activity and/or apoptosis.

Abstract
Potential chemopreventive agents for colorectal cancer are assessed in rodents. We speculated that the magnitude of the effect is meaningful and ranked all published agents according to their potency. Data were gathered systematically from 137 articles with the aberrant crypt foci (ACF) end point and from 146 articles with the tumor end point. The potency of each agent to reduce the number of ACF is listed in one table and the potency of each agent to reduce the tumor incidence in another table. Both tables are shown in this review and on a website with sorting abilities (http://www.inra.fr/reseau-nacre/sci-memb/corpet/indexan.html). Potency was estimated as the ratio of the value in control rats to the value in treated rats. From each article, only the most potent agent was kept, except in articles reporting the effect of more than seven agents. Among the 186 agents in the ACF table, the median agent reduced the number of ACF by one-half. The most potent agents to reduce azoxymethane-induced ACF were Pluronic, polyethylene glycol, perilla oil with beta-carotene, and sulindac sulfide. Among the 160 agents in the tumor table, the median agent reduced the tumor incidence in rats by one-half. The most potent agents to reduce the incidence of azoxymethane-induced tumors were celecoxib, a protease inhibitor from soy, difluoromethylornithine with piroxicam, polyethylene glycol, and a thiosulfonate. For the 57 agents present in both tables, a significant correlation (r) was found between the potencies against ACF and tumors (r = 0.45, P < 0.001); without celecoxib, a major outlying point in the correlation, r = 0.68 (P < 0.001, n = 56). In conclusion, this review gathers most known chemopreventive agents, ranks the most promising agents against colon carcinogenesis in rats or mice, and further supports the use of ACF as a surrogate end point for tumors in rats.

Abstract
Organotropic chemopreventive effects of n-3 unsaturated fatty acids were studied using a multi-organ carcinogenesis model in male rats. Rats were treated with diethylnitrosamine (DEN), N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU), N-butyl-N-4-hydroxybutylnitrosamine (BBN), 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) and dihydroxy-di-n-propylnitrosamine (DHPN) during the first 7 weeks, and then given unsaturated fatty acid (UFAs), docosahexaenoic acid (n-3, C(22:6)) (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (n-3, C(20:5)) (EPA), linoleic acid (n-6, C(18:2)) (LA) or oleic acid (n-9, C(18:1)) (OA) at a dose of 1.0 ml/rat, 3 times a week by gavage for the consecutive 30 weeks. All rats were fed a low LA basal diet throughout the experiment and a calorie-restricted basal diet during the period of UFAs feeding administration. DHA significantly reduced tumor size and numbers in the large intestine as compared to OA treatment. Furthermore, DHA showed a tendency to inhibit carcinogenesis in the small intestine and lung. EPA also showed a tendency to inhibit intestinal carcinogenesis. On the other hand, LA showed a tendency to inhibit lung carcinogenesis, but to promote large intestinal carcinogenesis. However these UFAs did not influence preneoplastic and neoplastic lesion development in the liver, kidney, and urinary bladder. Levels of the administered fatty acids were clearly increased in the serum and organs. In contrast, arachidonic acid (AA) levels in the large and small intestines and liver were markedly decreased by treatment with DHA and EPA. Decreased levels of AA in the large intestine correlated well with tumor incidence, although the number of glutathione S-transferase-positive (GST-P(+)) foci showed an inverse correlation with AA levels. The data thus provide evidence that an organotropism exists with regard to the influence of UFAs on carcinogenesis, which correlates with reduction of tissue AA levels in the target organs.

Abstract
A number of experimental and epidemiological studies indicate that dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) play a modulatory role in the development of several cancers. However, literature on the importance of dietary PUFA in urinary-tract tumourigenesis is scarce, and even contradictory. Therefore, our purpose was to evaluate comparatively, several urothelial cellular parameters linked to neoplasia when 180 BALB/c mice were initiated with the tumourigenic agent melamine and fed with two amounts of different PUFA. In experiment 1, mice were fed with 6% of fish oil (enriched in n-3 PUFA, FO), corn oil (enriched in n-6, CO) and olein (enriched in n-9, an EFA deficiency inducer) formulae plus two chow-fed control lots with (CM) and without (C) melamine treatment. In experiment 2, each of the three varieties of PUFA were offered at 10%. Following 18-22 weeks of melamine treatment, animals were autopsied. The liver fatty acid profile showed a close correlation with the dietary sources, exhibiting in the O group macroscopic and biochemical EFA-deficient (EFAD) characteristics. The frequency of simple urothelial hyperplasias (H) and dysplasia/carcinoma in situ (D/CIS) was significantly lower in the FO group, whereas both types of lesions increased in the CO and O groups, compared to the C and CM mice. Increased proliferation and abnormal luminal localized mitosis were more frequently recorded in EFAD mice, whereas abnormal apoptotic/mitosis ratio increased in both olein- and corn-oil-fed animals. This study shows that dietary PUFA modulate differentially normal and pre-neoplastic proliferation when induced by the tumorigenic agent melamine. Fish oil, rich in n-3 fatty acids, exhibits a clear antipromoting activity, whereas the role of n-6 and n-9 PUFA derivatives needs further research.

Abstract
Normal aging is accompanied by renal functional and morphological deterioration and dietetic manipulation has been used to delay this age-related decline. We examined the effects of chronic administration of diets containing 5% lipid-enriched diet (LD, w/w) on renal function of rats at different ages. Three types of LD were tested: canola oil, fish oil and butter. Mean systemic tail-cuff blood pressure and glycemia remained within the normal range whatever the age and the diet of the animals. Proteinuria began to rise from the 8th month in the groups ingesting LD, while in the control group it increased significantly (above 10 mg/24 h) only after the 10th month. With age, a significant and progressive decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow was observed in the LD groups but after 6 months of lipid supplementation, the decline in these parameters was more marked in the butter and fish oil groups. By the 18th month, the lowest GFR level was observed in the group ingesting the butter diet (2.93 +/- 0.22 vs 5.01 +/- 0.21 ml min(-1) kg(-1) in control, P<0.05). Net acid excretion, evaluated in 9- and 18-month-old rats, was stimulated in the fish oil group when compared both to control and to the other two LD groups. These results suggest that even low levels of LD in a chronic nutritional regimen can modify the age-related changes in renal function and that the impact of different types of lipid-supplemented diets on renal function depends on the kind of lipid present in the diet.

Abstract
We showed previously that dietary eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA, 20:5(n-3)] is antitumorigenic in the APC:(Min/+) mouse, a genetic model of intestinal tumorigenesis. Only a few studies have evaluated the effects of dietary fatty acids, including EPA and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA, 22:6(n-3)], in this animal model and none have evaluated the previously touted antitumorigenicity of alpha-linolenic acid [ALA, 18:3(n-3)], conjugated linoleic acid [CLA, 77% 18:2(n-7)], or gamma-linolenic acid [GLA, 18:3(n-6)]. Stearidonic acid [SDA, 18:4(n-3)], the Delta6-desaturase product of ALA, which is readily metabolized to EPA, has not been evaluated previously for antitumorigenic efficacy. This study was undertaken to evaluate the antitumorigenicity of these dietary fatty acids (ALA, SDA, EPA, DHA, CLA and GLA) compared with oleic acid [OA, 18:1(n-9)] at a level of 3 g/100 g in the diets of APC:(Min/+) mice and to determine whether any alterations in tumorigenesis correspond to alterations in prostaglandin biosynthesis. Tumor multiplicity was significantly lower by approximately 50% in mice fed SDA or EPA compared with controls, whereas less pronounced effects were observed in mice fed DHA (P: = 0.15). ALA, CLA and GLA were ineffective at the dose tested. Although lower tumor numbers coincided with significantly lower prostaglandin levels in SDA- and EPA-fed mice, ALA and DHA supplementation resulted in equally low prostaglandin levels, despite proving less efficacious with regard to tumor number. Prostaglandin levels did not differ significantly in the CLA and GLA groups compared with controls. These results suggest that SDA and EPA attenuate tumorigenesis in this model and that this effect may be related in part to alterations in prostaglandin biosynthesis.

Abstract
Neomycin augments colon tumorigenesis in 1,2 - dimethylhydrazine treated rats fed polyunsaturated fat diet and decreases fecal cholic acid excretion, while it inhibits tumorigenesis with increased cholic acid and decreased deoxycholic acid excretions in rats fed high cholesterol diet. Participation of other fecal bile acids seems to be insignificant in relation to colon carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the effect of dietary n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on anti-CD3 and anti-Fas antibody-induced apoptosis and its mediators in mouse spleen cells. Nutritionally adequate semipurified diets containing either 5% w/w corn oil (n-6 PUFA) or fish oil (n-3 PUFA) were fed to weanling female Balb/C mice, and 24 wk later mice were sacrificed. In n-3 PUFA-fed mice, serum and splenocyte lipid peroxides were increased by 20 and 28.3% respectively, compared to n-6 PUFA-fed mice. Further, serum vitamin E levels were decreased by 50% in the n-3 PUFA-fed group, whereas higher anti-Fas- and anti-CD3-induced apoptosis (65 and 66%) and necrosis (17 and 25%), compared to the n-6 PUFA-fed group, were found when measured with Annexin V and propidium iodide staining, respectively. In addition, decreased Bcl-2 and increased Fas-ligand (Fas-L) also were observed in the n-3 PUFA-fed group compared to the n-6 PUFA-fed group. No difference in the ratio of splenocyte subsets nor their Fas expression was observed between the n-3 PUFA-fed and n-6 PUFA-fed groups, whereas decreased proliferation of splenocytes was found in n-3 PUFA-fed mice compared to n-6 PUFA-fed mice. In conclusion, our results indicate that dietary n-3 PUFA induces higher apoptosis by increasing the generation of lipid peroxides and elevating Fas-L expression along with decreasing Bcl-2 expression. A reduced proliferative response of immune cells also was observed in n-3 PUFA-fed mice.

Abstract
High fat diets have been implicated in incidence of colon cancer both in epidemiological and animal studies. Present investigation deals with the incidence, location and numbers of large and small bowel tumours induced by 1,2-dimethyl hydrazine (DMH) in rats fed high fat diets and neomycin. Neomycin was used to modify the faecal sterol metabolism and the relationship of the high fat diet and faecal neutral and acid sterols to the large bowel tumorigenesis was evaluated. DMH administered rats were fed with (a) 20% safflower oil; (b) 20% safflower oil and neomycin; (c) 20% safflower oil, cholesterol and cholic acid; and (d) 20% safflower oil, cholesterol, cholic acid and neomycin. Neomycin was found to be associated with both increase and decrease of tumour numbers. The faecal sterols lithocholic and deoxycholic acids were found to have no participation, while cholesterol and cholic acid were found to decrease with increase in tumour numbers. However, faecal coprostanol has been found to have a significant positive correlation with tumorigenesis in all dietary groups. Therefore coprostanol might possibly be associated with colon carcinogenesis in DMH-fed rats and cholesterol metabolism in gut appears to be related to the development of tumours.

Abstract
The modulating effect of dietary enrichment in mistol seed oil (MO) containing 25% of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), evening primrose oil (EPO) enriched in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and corn oil (CO) as sources of omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids on the growth parameters of one transplantable mammary tumor were compared. Mice fed on different lipid formulae were inoculated with a mammary gland adenocarcinoma and different growth development tumor parameters were recorded. Results showed that corn oil feeding slowed down most of the tumor growth parameters, as did the EPO diet. MO also showed antitumor activity. Olein feeding, which induces an essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD), increased the incidence and the multiplicity of metastases when compared with the controls. It may be concluded that a diet enriched in omega-6 fatty acids did not behave as a tumor promoter in this mammary gland tumor model. The antitumor activities of EPO and MO are corroborated in present experiments, suggesting that both oils may be of value in nutritional approaches of mammary gland tumor therapies. In addition, present data add further experimental proof about the proposed protumorigenic proneness induced by the EFAD state.
