Endogenous anti-tumorigenic nitro-fatty acids are a novel type of direct and potent inhibitor of the 26S proteasome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Nitro-fatty acids (NFAs) are endogenous lipid mediators causing a broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory effects by covalent modification of key proteins within inflammatory signaling pathways. Their potential as anti-tumorigenic therapeutics has recently been demonstrated in animal models of solid tumors. Herein, we evaluated the anti-tumorigenic effects of NFAs in colon carcinoma cells and other solid and leukemic tumor cell lines. NFAs inhibited the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) by directly targeting the 26S proteasome, leading to polyubiquitination and inhibition of the proteasomal activities. Suppression of the UPS induced the unfolded protein response, resulting in tumor cell death. The NFA-mediated effects were rather strong, highly specific, largely irreversible, and represent a mechanistically new mode of action for UPS suppression. The present study extends the knowledge on the biological actions of NFAs as possible endogenous tumor-suppressive factors. Furthermore, NFAs might be lead structures for the design of a novel class of direct proteasome inhibitors.
