Fatty acids inhibit anticancer effects of 5-fluorouracil in mouse cancer cell lines.


ABSTRACT: The present study investigated the effects of two major dietary fatty acid components, linoleic acid (LA) and elaidic acid (EA), on the antitumor effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the LL2, CT26 and CMT93 mouse cancer cell lines. Concurrent treatment with LA and 5-FU elicited a decreased cell viability compared with treatment with 5-FU alone. In addition, increased inhibition of growth was observed following concurrent treatment with EA and 5-FU. Sequential treatment of LA followed by 5-FU abrogated the anticancer effects of 5-FU, and treatment with EA followed by 5-FU increased cancer cell growth in addition to abrogating the anticancer effects of 5-FU. The expression of the stem cell markers CD133 and nucleostemin (NS) increased in all three cell lines treated concurrently with 5-FU and either LA or EA when compared with cells treated with 5-FU alone. Aldehyde dehydrogenase activity in the cancer stem cells (CSCs), in response to concurrent treatment with 5-FU and either LA or EA, was increased compared with 5-FU treatment alone. 5-FU inhibited the growth of CT26 tumors, but co-treatment with either LA or EA abrogated this effect. NS-positive CSCs were more abundant in CT26 tumors treated with 5-FU and either LA or EA compared with those treated with 5-FU alone. The results of the present study suggested that, rather than altering the sensitivity of cancer cells to 5-FU, LA and EA may promote the survival of CSCs. The results indicated that dietary composition during chemotherapy is an important issue.
