Serum phospholipid fatty acids, genetic variation in myeloperoxidase, and prostate cancer risk in heavy smokers: a gene-nutrient interaction in the carotene and retinol efficacy trial.

ABSTRACT: The authors investigated associations of serum phospholipid n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and trans-fatty acids with prostate cancer risk, and whether myeloperoxidase G-463A (rs2333227) modified the associations in the Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET) (Seattle, Washington; Irvine, California; New Haven, Connecticut; San Francisco, California; Baltimore, Maryland; and Portland, Oregon, 1985-2003). Prerandomization sera were assayed for fatty acids among 641 men with incident prostate cancer (368 nonaggressive and 273 aggressive (stage III/IV or Gleason score ?7)) and 1,398 controls. Overall, dihomo-?-linolenic (quartiles 4 vs. 1: odds ratio (OR) = 0.66, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.49, 0.95; P(trend) = 0.024) and docosatetraenoic (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.46, 1.02; P(trend) = 0.011) acids were inversely associated with nonaggressive and aggressive prostate cancer risks, respectively. Among men with MPO GG, the genotype upregulating oxidative stress, quartiles 4 versus 1 eicosapentaenoic plus docosahexaenoic acids were suggestively associated with an increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer (OR = 1.66, 95% CI: 0.95, 2.92; P(trend) = 0.07). However, the association was the inverse among men with MPO GA/AA genotypes (P(interaction) = 0.011). Interactions were also observed for docosapentaenoic acid, total n-3 PUFAs, and arachidonic acid. MPO GA/AA vs. GG was associated with a 2-fold increase in aggressive prostate cancer risk among men with low (quartile 1) n-3 PUFAs. This study adds important evidence linking oxidative stress with prostate carcinogenesis.

Project description:BackgroundPreviously, a "purchase" pattern (rich in vegetable oil, manufactured foods, red meat and poultry, fruits, and vegetables) was identified among adults in urban Ghana and was inversely associated with T2D, while a "traditional" pattern (rich in fish, palm oil, plantain, green-leafy vegetables, beans, garden egg, fermented maize products,) increased the odds of T2D. To investigate, if specific fatty acids (FAs), partly reflecting the intakes of certain food groups and cooking methods, might explain the observed diet-disease relationships, serum phospholipid fatty acid profiles were characterized and their relationships with blood lipids that are common risk factors for T2D were analyzed.MethodsThe relative proportions of 28 FAs (%) in 653 Ghanaians without T2D were measured by gas chromatography. In a cross-sectional analysis, the associations of FAs with dietary patterns and with serum lipids that are likely involved in T2D development were investigated. The FAs distributions across dietary pattern scores were examined. Standardized beta coefficients (β) were calculated for the associations of dietary pattern scores (per 1 standard deviation (SD) increase) with FAs. Across the tertiles of selected diet-related FAs, adjusted means of serum triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were calculated.ResultsIn this mainly female (76%), middle-aged (mean age: 46.4, SD: 15.3 years) and predominately overweight study population (mean body mass index: 25.8, SD: 5.4 kg/m2), saturated FAs (SFAs) contributed 52% to total serum FAs, n-6 polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) 27%, monounsaturated FAs 12%, n-3 PUFAs 9% and trans FAs (TFAs) <1%. The "purchase" pattern was related to lower proportions of n-3 PUFAs (β per 1 score SD: -0.25, p < 0.0001), but higher proportions of linoleic acid (LA) (β per 1 score SD: 0.24, p < 0.0001). The "traditional" pattern was characterized by lower proportions of arachidic acid (β per 1 score SD: -0.10, p = 0.001). LA was inversely associated with triglycerides, but positively with HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol.ConclusionsIn this Ghanaian population, serum FA profiles reflected the intake of key components of dietary patterns, such as fish and vegetable oil. FAs from manufactured foods (SFAs) and deep-fried meals (TFAs) did not contribute to the observed associations between dietary patterns and T2D. Still, LA might partly explain the health-beneficial effect of the "purchase" pattern.

Project description:Alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients comorbid with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (HCV + AUD) could have progressively severe clinical sequels of liver injury and inflammation. Serum zinc and several polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) get dysregulated in AUD as well as HCV. However, the extent of dysregulation of PUFAs and zinc deficiency and their interaction in HCV + AUD as a comorbid pathology has not been studied. We examined the role of dysregulation of FAs and low zinc in HCV + AUD patients. 138 male and female participants aged 21-67 years were grouped as HCV-only (Gr. 1; n = 13), HCV + AUD (Gr. 2; n = 25), AUD without liver injury (Gr. 3; n = 37), AUD with liver injury (Gr. 4; n = 51), and healthy volunteers (Gr. 5 or HV; n = 12). Drinking history, individual demographic measures, fasting fatty acids, liver function, and zinc were measured and analyzed. HCV + AUD patients showed the highest ALT level compared to the rest of the groups. Serum zinc concentrations were the lowest, and the proinflammatory shift was the highest (characterized by ω6 : ω3 ratio) in the HCV + AUD patients. Total ω3, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA5,3) were the lowest in HCV + AUD patients. Total ω3, α-linoleic acid (α-LA) along with covariable number of drinking days past 90 days (NDD90), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA5,3) independently showed significant association with low zinc in the HCV + AUD patients. Heavy drinking pattern showed that NDD90 has a significant mediating role in the representation of the relationship between candidate ω3 PUFAs and zinc uniquely in the HCV + AUD patients. Low serum zinc showed a distinctively stronger association with total and candidate ω3s in the HCV + AUD patients compared to the patients with HCV or AUD alone, supporting dual mechanism involved in the exacerbation of the proinflammatory response in this comorbid cohort. This trial is registered with NCT#00001673.

Project description:The acquisition of carotenoids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from plants and animals for use as functional ingredients raises concerns regarding productivity and cost; utilization of microorganisms as alternative sources is an option. We proposed to evaluate the production of carotenoids and PUFAs by Rhodopseudomonas faecalis PA2 using different vegetable oils (rice bran oil, palm oil, coconut oil, and soybean oil) as carbon source, different concentrations of yeast extract as nitrogen source at different cultivation time to ensure the best production. Cultivation with soybean oil as source of carbon led to the most significant changes in the fatty acid profile. Compared to the initial condition, the strain cultivated in the optimal conditions (4% soybean oil, 0.35% yeast extract, and 14 days of incubation) showed an increase in μmax, biomass, carotenoid productivity, and microbial lipids by 102.5%, 52.7%, 33.82%, and 34.78%, respectively. The unsaturated fatty acids content was raised with additional types of PUFAs; omega-3 [alpha-linolenic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid] and omega-6 [linoleic acid and eicosatrienoic acid] fatty acids were identified. The results of ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-quadrupole time of flight-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS) indicated the molecular formula and mass of bacterial metabolites were identical to those of lycopene and beta-carotene. The untargeted metabolomics revealed functional lipids and several physiologically bioactive compounds. The outcome provides scientific reference regarding carotenoids, PUFAs, and useful metabolites that have not yet been reported in the species Rhodopseudomonas faecalis for further use as a microbial-based functional ingredient. Highlights • Additional types of PUFAs are found in the proposed condition.• Beta-carotene and EPA are first reported in Rhodopseudomonas faecalis.• Functional lipids and physiologically bioactive compounds were observed.• R. faecalis PA2 might be used as a new microbial-based functional ingredient.• The optimal conditions enhance μmax, biomass, carotenoids, and microbial lipids.
