ABSTRACT
<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>

<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>

<p><b>OBJECTIVES</b>To study the effects of c9,t11-conjugated linoleic acid (c9,t11-CLA) on invasive ability of human gastric carcinoma cell line (SGC-7901) and to explore its possible mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Reconstituted basement membrane invasion assay was used to evaluate invasive ability of cancer cells. Expression of TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and nm23-H(1) mRNA was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in SGC-7901 cells.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>At the concentrations of 200 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L and 50 micromol/L, c9,t11-CLA suppressed their reconstituted basement membrane invasion of SGC-7901 by 53.7%, 40.9% and 29.3%, respectively. c9,t11-CLA could induce the expression of TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and nm23-H(1) mRNA in SGC-7901 cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The invasion of SGC-7901 cells could be inhibited by c9,t11-CLA through reconstituted basement membrane. Anti-invasion action of c9,t11-CLA might be associated with induction of expression of TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and nm23-H(1) mRNA in tumor cells.</p>
