Project description:The hypothesis was that 6 months of dietary n-3 FA supplementation to humans affected expression of genes that might be of significance for inflammatory processes and for Alzheimer´s disease. Effects on global gene expression profiles (Affymetrix Human Focus array) in human blood mononuclear leukocytes obtained from 11 patients with Alzheimer´s disease before and after 6 months of a DHA-rich n-3 fatty acid supplementation. Data analyses were performed using Gene chip Operating Software (GCOS) Version 1.4. Two Samples, GSM735991 and GSM736014, are missing CEL files due to storage failure.

Project description:Long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs) are collectively recognized triglyceride-lowering agents, and their preventive action is likely mediated by changes in gene expression. However, as most studies employ fish oil, which contains a mixture of n-3 LC-PUFAs, the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-specific transcriptional effects on lipid metabolism are still unclear. The aim of the present study was to further elucidate the DHA-induced transcriptional effects on lipid metabolism in the liver, and to investigate the effects of co-administration with other bioactive compounds having effects on lipid metabolism. To this purpose, HepG2 cells were treated for 6 or 24 h with DHA, the short-chain fatty acid propionate (PRO), and protocatechuic acid (PCA), the main human metabolite of cyanidin-glucosides. Following supplementation, we mapped the global transcriptional changes. PRO and PCA alone had a very slight effect on the transcriptome; on the contrary, supplementation of DHA highly repressed the steroid and fatty acid biosynthesis pathways, this transcriptional modulation being not affected by co-supplementation. Our results confirm that DHA effect on lipid metabolism are mediated at least in part by modulation of the expression of specific genes. PRO and PCA could contribute to counteracting dyslipidemia through other mechanisms.

Project description:Fish oil supplementation is generally seen as beneficial for human health, due to the presence of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs). These fatty acids can elicit their effect through changes in gene expression. Effects of n-3 PUFAs on gene expression of inflammatory and atherogenic markers have been shown in several in vitro and animal studies. However, little evidence is available on human in vivo studies on n-3 PUFA related gene expression. In the present study we investigate the effects of EPA and DHA supplementation for 6 months on gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Whole genome microarray analysis was performed on PBMC RNA from subjects who received 1.8 grams of EPA and DHA in capsules (n=23) or capsules containing high oleic acid sunflower oil (HOSF)(n=25). Intake of EPA and DHA resulted in a change of 1040 genes. We found a down-regulation in inflammatory and atherogenic related pathways, such as NF-κB signaling, eicosanoid synthesis, scavenger receptors activity and cell adhesion. These results seem to point to an improvement in health status, in which lymphocytes are less prone to produce chemokines and adhesion molecules and monocytes show reduced susceptibility to differentiate into foam cells. Overall, beneficial effects of n-3 PUFAs that have been described in vitro and in animal studies, were shown in vivo in human subjects in this study. This not only confirms that EPA and DHA elicits beneficial effects on inflammatory and atherogenic processes of elderly subjects, but also shows that PBMC gene expression profiles can be used to show effects of nutrition on human health status. Fasting venous blood samples were collected at baseline and after 26 weeks of supplementation with either 1.8 g EPA and DHA or HOSF. 4 ml blood was collected for PBMC isolation, using BD Vacutainer Cell Preparation Tubes with sodium citrate (BD, Breda, The Netherlands). Immediately after blood collection PBMCs were isolated according to the manufacturerâs manual. PBMC RNA was isolated from all PBMC samples using Qiagen RNeasy Micro kit (Qiagen, Venlo, the Netherlands). Total RNA from PBMCs from 48 subjects was labeled using a one-cycle cDNA labeling kit (MessageAmpTM II-Biotin Enhanced Kit, Ambion, Inc.) and hybridized to custom designed NuGO GeneChip arrays.

Project description:Agricultural workers are at risk for the development of acute and chronic lung diseases due to their exposure to organic agricultural dusts. A diet intervention using the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been shown to be an effective therapeutic approach for alleviating a dust-induced inflammatory response. We thus hypothesized a high-DHA diet would alter the dust-induced inflammatory response through the increased production of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). Mice were pre-treated with a DHA-rich diet 4 week s before being intranasally challenged with a single dose of an extract made from dust collected from a concentrated swine feeding operation (HDE ). This omega-3-fatty-acid-rich diet led to reduced arachidonic acid levels in the blood, enhanced macrophage recruitment, and increased the production of the DHA-derived SPM Resolvin D1 (RvD1) in the lung following HDE exposure. An assessment of transcript-level changes in the immune response demonstrated significant differences in immune pathway activation and alterations of numerous macrophage-associated genes among HDE-challenged mice fed a high DHA diet. Our data indicate that consuming a DHA-rich diet leads to the enhanced production of SPMs during an acute inflammatory challenge to dust, supporting a role for dietary DHA supplementation as a potential therapeutic strategy for reducing dust-induced lung inflammation.

Project description:Despite the recognized protective effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in cardiovascular diseases, and the demonstration of the control of gene expression by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), the effects of these n-3 fatty acids on the whole genoma has never been investigated in cardiac cells. Using rat arrays, the effects of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on the global gene expression profile were evaluated in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Keywords: nutritional intervention, treatment response

Project description:The omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has potent anti-atherogenic properties but its mechanisms of action at the vascular level remain poorly explored. Knowing the broad range of molecular targets of omega-3 fatty acids, microarray analysis was used to open-mindedly evaluate the effects of DHA on aorta gene expression in LDLR-/- mice and better understand its local anti-atherogenic action . Mice were fed an atherogenic diet and received daily oral gavages with oils rich in oleic acid or DHA. Bioinformatics analysis of microarray data first identified inflammation and innate immunity as processes the most affected by DHA supplementation within aorta. More precisely, several down-regulated genes were associated with the inflammatory functions of macrophages (e.g. CCL5, CCR7), cell movement (e.g. ICAM-2, SELP, PECAM-1), and the major histocompatibility complex (e.g. HLA-DQA1, HLA-DRB1). Interestingly, the expression of several genes were identified as specifc biomarkers of macrophage polarization and their changes suggested a preferential orientation towards a M2 reparative phenotype. This observation was supported by the upstream regulator analysis highlighting the involvment of three main regulators of macrophage polarization, namely PPARM-NM-3 (z-score=2.367, p=1.50x10-13), INFM-NM-3 (z-score=-2.797, p=2.81x10-14) and NFM-NM-:B (z-score=2.360, p=6.32x10-9). Moreover, immunohistological analysis of aortic root revealed an increased abundance of Arg1 (+111%, p=0.01), a specific biomarker of M2 macrophage.The present study showed for the first time that DHA supplementation during atherogenesis is associated with protective modulation of inflammation and innate immunity pathways within aorta putatively through the orientation of plaque macrophages towards a M2 reparative phenotype. Mice (LDLR-/-) Aorta samples. 2 groups: Control (K), DHA (C). Biological replicates=8. Dye switch.

Project description:Previously published results from our double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel study with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation (3 g/d, 90 d) to hypertriglyceridemic men (39-66yr) showed that DHA reduced several risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), including the plasma concentration of inflammatory markers. To determine the effect of DHA supplementation on the global gene expression pattern, we performed Affymetrix GeneChip microarray analysis of blood cells (treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or vehicle) drawn before and after the supplementation from the hyperlipidemic men who participated in the previous study. Genes that were significantly differentially regulated by the LPS treatment and DHA supplementation were identified. Differential regulation of 18 genes was then confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. Both microarray and qRT-PCR data showed that the expression of LDL receptor (LDLR), oxidized LDL receptor (OLR1), and cathepsin L1 (CTSL) was significantly suppressed by DHA supplementation; however, LPS stimulated the expression of LDLR and CTSL but not that of OLR1. LPS up-regulated and DHA suppressed the expression of prostaglandin E synthase (PTGES), PPAR delta, and various chemokines. Enrichment with Gene Ontology categories demonstrated that the genes related to transcription factor activity, immune responses, host defense responses, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis were inversely regulated by LPS and DHA. These results provide supporting evidence for the anti-inflammatory effects of DHA supplementation, and reveal previously unrecognized genes that are regulated by DHA, and are associated with risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel study with DHA supplementation to hypertriglyceridemic men. Gene expression detected in LPS-stimulated (LPS) and unstimulated (vehicle) white blood cells. 3-4 replicates per group.

Project description:Introduction: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with early vessel loss (Phase I) followed by uncontrolled vessel growth (Phase II) causes visual impairment in premature infants. Although supplementation with n-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) alone has mixed results to prevent ROP, combined supplementation with DHA and n-6 arachidonic acid (ARA) in early postnatal life reduces severe ROP by 50% (Mega Donna Mega study). The underlying mechanisms are unknown. Objectives: To evaluate protective effects and mechanism of combined dietary n-3 DHA and n-6 ARA in a neonatal mouse model of Phase I ROP. Methods: In the Mega Donna Mega study, most preterm infants had early postnatal hyperglycemia episodes, a strong risk factor for severe ROP. We used a neonatal mouse model of hyperglycemia-induced suppression of retinal vascular development (Phase I ROP). Dams were fed diets enriched with 3%DHA or 1%DHA+2%ARA. In P10 milk-fed pups, we assessed retinal vascularization, and proteome, and fatty acid profiles in retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) complex and plasma. In vivo, oligomycin A, a mitochondrial ATP synthase inhibitor, was used to assess mitochondrial participation in the combined lipid protective effects. Results: In 201 (97.6%) of 206 randomized infants there was at least one elevated glucose measurement during the first 14 days. In a neonatal mouse model of hyperglycemia-induced suppression of vascular development, maternal DHA+ARA vs. DHA diet promoted pup retinal vessel growth. Fatty acid profiling confirmed lipid changes in pup plasma and RPE complex in accord with DHA and ARA levels in the maternal diets. Proteomic retinal analysis revealed increased abundance of proteins related to mitochondrial respiration and glucose metabolism in the combined diet. Inhibition of mitochondrial ATP synthase negated the protective effects of the combined diet on retinal vascularization. Conclusion: Combined DHA+ARA oral supplementation in the early postnatal period protects against Phase I ROP in mouse neonates, through enhanced retinal metabolism suggesting the potential of balanced lipid supplementation for preventing ROP.
