<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the inhibitory effects of c9, t11-conjugated linoleic acid (c9, t11-CLA) on migration of human gastric carcinoma cell line (SGC-7901) via cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>After inhibiting COX-2 activity by 100 micromol/L COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 in SGC-7901 cell, we treated SGC-7901 cells with c9, t11-CLA at a concentration of 200,100, 50, 25 micromol/L for 24 h, respectively. Using reconstituted basement membrane invasion, adhesion, chemotaxis assays, we detected the effect of c9, t11-CLA and COX-2 on the cell migration.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared to NS-398 group, 200, 100 micromol/L c9, t11-CLA significantly suppressed SGC-7901 cells invading into the reconstituted basement membrane (F = 14.309, P = 0.000; F = 19.005, P = 0.000). 200 micromol/L c9, t11-CLA significantly inhibited SGC-7901 cells adhering to laminin, fibronectin and Matrigel (F = 3.063, P = 0.021; F = 6.692, P = 0.001; F = 11.999, P = 0.000). The chemotaxis of SGC-7901 cells and inhibitory frequency were significantly decreased in the 200 micromol/L c9, t11-CLA group (F = 1.380, P = 0.276).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>c9, t11-CLA inhibits invasion, adhesion and chemotaxis of SGC-7901 cells, and the COX-2 plays an important role in the process.

Effects of conjugated linoleic acid on the expression of critical enzymes of linoleic acid metabolism in tumor cell / 中华预防医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVES</b>To study the effects of c9,t11-conjugated linoleic acid (c9,t11-CLA) on critical enzymes of linoleic acid metabolism in stomach granular cell (SGC-7901).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>SGC-7901 was treated with c9,t11-CLA by 200, 100, 50 or 25 micromol/L for 24 hours. The effects of c9,t11-CLA on the cell proliferation was measured by monotetrazolium and the expression of Delta6-desaturase, Delta5-desaturase, COX-1, COX-2, 5-LOX mRNA were measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>At a concentration of 200, 100, 50, or 25 micromol/L, c9,t11-CLA suppressed the proliferation of SGC-7901 by 54.3%, 20.5%, 10.5% and 2.93%. The c9,t11-CLA might decrease the expression of COX-2 mRNA, and increase the expression of Delta6-desaturase and COX-1 in SGC-7901, but might not affect Delta5-desaturase and 5-LOX.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The effects of c9,t11-CLA on the COX and Delta6-desaturase might play an important role in mediating the ability of c9,t11-CLA as to inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells, and the anti-cancer activity by c9,t11-CLA might be associated with the linoleic acid metabolism.</p>

The effects of conjugated linoleic acid on the ability of murine macrophage in killing tumor cells / 中华预防医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of c9,t11-conjugated linoleic acid on the killing ability of macrophage to B16-MB cells in C57 mice and explore its possible mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The five levels of CLA was designed as 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 micro mol/L. After macrophage was treated with CLA for 24 h, the killing ability of macrophage on B16-MB cells was evaluated by MTT, The expression of C57 mice macrophage cytokine IL-6, TNF-alpha and iNOS mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. The expression of Erk protein was examined by Western Blot assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The inhibitory effect of macrophage on tumor cell depend on the treatment of the increased c9,t11-CLA level, at the same time, the expression of IL-6, TNF-alpha and iNOS mRNA increased, the expression of Erk decreased with the elevating dose of CLA.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>c9,t11-CLA could increase the killing ability of macrophage in mice to B16-MB cells, and it was associated with induction of IL-6, TNF-alpha and iNOS mRNA expression. We speculate that antitumor ability of CLA may be associated with taking part in body immune regulation action, and the effects of CLA on the killing ability of murine macrophage to B16-MB cells was not associated with the MAPKErk pathway.</p>

Effects ofcis-9,trans-11-conjugated linoleic acid on cancer cell cycle

<p><b>OBJECTIVES</b>To determine the effect of cis-9, trans-11-conjugated linoleic acid on the cell cycle of mammary cancer cells (MCF-7) and its possible mechanism of inhibition cancer growth.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using cell culture and immunocytochemical techniques, we examined the cell growth, DNA synthesis, expression of PCNA, cyclin A, B(1), D(1), p16(ink4a) and p21(cip/wafl) of MCF-7 cells which were treated with various c9, t11-CLA concentrations (25 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM and 200 mM) of c9, t11-CLA for 24 and 48 h, with negative controls (0.1% ethanol).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The cell growth and DNA synthesis of MCF-7 cells were inhibited by c9, t11-CLA. MCF-7 cells, after treatment with various c9, t11-CLA doses mentioned above for 8 days, the inhibition frequency was 27.18%, 35.43%, 91.05%, and 92.86%, respectively and the inhibitory effect of c9, t11-CLA on DNA synthesis (except for 25 mM, 24 h) incorporated significantly less(3)H-TdR than did the negative control (P<0.05 andP<0.01). To further investigate the influence on the cell cycle progression, we found that c9, t11-CLA may arrest the cell cycle of MCF-7 cells. Immunocytochemical staining demonstrated that MCF-7 cells preincubated in media supplemented with different c9, t11-CLA concentrations at various times significantly decreased the expressions of PCNA, and Cyclin, A, B(1), D(1) compared with the negative controls (P<0.01), whereas the expressions of p16(ink4a) and p21(cip/wafl), cyclin-dependent kinases inhibitors (CDKI), were increased.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The cell growth and proliferation of MCF-7 cells is inhibited by c9, t11-CLA by blocking the cell cycle, which reduces expressions of cyclin A, B(1), D(1) and enhances expressions of CDKI (p16(ink4a) and p21(cip/wafl)).</p>
