<h4>Background</h4>Polyunsaturated fatty acids can have beneficial effects on human immune cells, such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). However, the mechanisms of action of polyunsaturated fatty acids on immune cells are still largely unknown.<h4>Objective</h4>The objective was to examine the effects of supplementation with the polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on whole-genome PBMC gene expression profiles, in healthy Dutch elder ...[more]

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:Flavonoids and fish oils have anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating influences. The purpose of the study was to determine if a mixed flavonoid-fish oil supplement (Q-Mix; 1000 mg quercetin, 400 mg isoquercetin, 120 mg EGCG from green tea extract, 220 mg EPA and 180 mg DHA from fish oil, 1000 mg vitamin C, 40 mg niacinamide, and 800 ug folic acid) would reduce inflammatory and oxidative stress markers and alter genomic profiles in overweight women. Women were assigned using a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial to Q-Mix or placebo groups. Overnight fasted blood samples were collected and subjected to RNA expression analysis on Affymetrix Hugene ST1_1 arrays. Randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled study.Subjects were randomized to either mixed flavonoid-fish oil supplement group (Q-Mix; 1000 mg quercetin, 400 mg isoquercetin, 120 mg EGCG from green tea extract, 400 mg n3-PUFAs (220 mg EPA and 180 mg DHA) from fish oil, 1000 mg vitamin C, 40 mg niacinamide, and 800 µg folic acid) or placebo (n=29 samples, including pre- and post-treatment samples in the Q-Mix and placebo arms).The placebo did not contain quercetin, vitamin C, and niacin. Subjects were instructed to ingest two soft chew supplements twice daily (upon awakening, and between 6:00-7:00 pm) for 70 days. A three-day food record was used to assess typical energy and nutrient intake. No restrictions were placed on diet, supplement usage or medications with the exception that subjects agreed to avoid any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and dietary supplements that influence inflammation or oxidative stress.

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:Metabolomics is an emerging and powerful bioanalytical method supporting clinical investigations. Serum and plasma are commonly used without rational prioritization. Serum is collected after blood coagulation, a complex biochemical process involving active platelet metabolism. This may affect the metabolome and increase the variance, as platelet counts and function may vary substantially in individuals. A multiomics approach systematically investigating the suitability of serum and plasma for clinical studies demonstrated that metabolites correlated well (n = 461, R2 = 0.991), whereas lipid mediators (n = 83, R2 = 0.906) and proteins (n = 322, R2 = 0.860) differed substantially between specimen. Independently, analysis of platelet releasates identified most biomolecules significantly enriched in serum compared to plasma. A prospective, randomized, controlled parallel group metabolomics trial with acetylsalicylic acid administered for 7 days demonstrated that the apparent drug effects significantly differ depending on the analyzed specimen. Only serum analyses of healthy individuals suggested a significant downregulation of TXB2 and 12-HETE, which were specifically formed during coagulation in vitro. Plasma analyses reliably identified acetylsalicylic acid effects on metabolites and lipids occurring in vivo such as an increase in serotonin, 15-deoxy-PGJ2 and sphingosine-1-phosphate and a decrease in polyunsaturated fatty acids. The present data suggest that plasma should be preferred above serum for clinical metabolomics studies as the serum metabolome may be substantially confounded by platelets.

Project description:Elevated circulating triglycerides, which are considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, can be targeted by treatment with fenofibrate or fish oil. To gain insight into underlying mechanisms, we carried out a comparative transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis of the effect of 2 week treatment withfenofibrate and fish oil in mice. Plasma triglycerides were significantly decreased byfenofibrate (-49.1%) and fish oil (-21.8%), whereas plasma cholesterol was increased by fenofibrate (+29.9%) and decreased by fish oil (-32.8%). Levels of various phospholipid species were specifically decreased by fish oil, while levels of Krebs cycle intermediates were increased specifically by fenofibrate. Plasma levels of many amino acids were altered by fenofibrate and to a lesser extent by fish oil. Both fenofibrate and fish oil upregulated genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, and downregulated genes involved in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. Significant overlap in gene regulation by fenofibrate and fish oil was observed, reflecting their property as high or low affinity agonist for PPARα, respectively. Fenofibrate specifically downregulated genes involved in complement cascade and inflammatory response. Fish oil specifically downregulated genes involved in cholesterol and fatty acid biosynthesis, and upregulated genes involved in amino acid and arachidonic acid metabolism. Taken together, the data indicate that despite being similarly potent towards modulating plasma free fatty acids, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, fish oil causes modest changes in gene expression likely via activation of multiple mechanistic pathways, whereas fenofibrate causes pronounced gene expression changes via a single pathway, reflecting the key difference between nutritional and pharmacological intervention. Expression profiling of liver from mice fed control diet, fish oil or fenofibrate for 2 weeks.

Project description:Dietary supplementation with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs), specifically the fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6 ω-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5 ω-3), is known to have beneficial health effects including improvements in glucose and lipid homeostasis and modulation of inflammation. To evaluate the efficacy of two different sources of ω-3 PUFAs, we performed gene expression profiling in the liver of mice fed diets supplemented with either fish oil or krill oil. We found that ω-3 PUFA supplements derived from a phospholipid krill fraction (krill oil) downregulated the activity of pathways involved in hepatic glucose production as well as lipid and cholesterol synthesis. The data also suggested that krill oil-supplementation increases the activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Surprisingly, an equimolar dose of EPA and DHA derived from fish oil modulated fewer pathways than a krill oil-supplemented diet and did not modulate key metabolic pathways regulated by krill oil, including glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism and the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Moreover, fish oil upregulated the cholesterol synthesis pathway, which was the opposite effect of krill supplementation. Neither diet elicited changes in plasma levels of lipids, glucose or insulin, probably because the mice used in this study were young and were fed a low fat diet. Further studies of krill oil supplementation using animal models of metabolic disorders and/or diets with a higher level of fat may be required to observe these effects.

Project description:Study 1: Transcriptomic profiles in colon tissue from inflammatory bowel diseases patients in relation to N-nitroso compound exposure and colorectal cancer risk Study 1: N-nitroso compounds (NOC) have been suggested to play a role in human cancer development but definitive evidence is still lacking. In this study we investigated gene expression modifications induced in human colon tissue in relation to NOC exposure to gain insight in the relevance of these compounds in human colorectal cancer (CRC) development. Since there are indications that inflammation stimulates endogenous NOC formation, the study population consisted of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome patients as controls without inflammation. Strong transcriptomic differences were identified in colonic biopsies from IBD patients and compared to controls that enhance the understanding of IBD pathophysiology. However, fecal NOC levels were not increased in IBD patients, suggesting that inflammation did not stimulate NOC formation. By relating gene expression changes of all subjects to fecal NOC levels, we did, however, identify a NOC exposure-associated transcriptomic response that suggests that physiological NOC concentrations may induce genotoxic responses and chromatin modifications in human colon tissue, both of which are linked to carcinogenicity. In a network analysis, chromatin modifications were linked to 11 significantly modulated histone genes, pointing towards a possible epigenetic mechanism that may be relevant in comprehending the molecular basis of NOC-induced carcinogenesis. We conclude that NOC exposure is associated with gene expression modifications in the colon that may increase CRC risk in humans. Study 2: Red meat intake-induced increases in fecal water genotoxicity correlate with pro-carcinogenic gene expression changes in the human colon Study 2: Red meat consumption is associated with an increased colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, which may be due to an increased endogenous formation of genotoxic N-nitroso compounds (NOCs). To assess the impact of red meat intake on potential risk factors of CRC, we investigated the effect of a 7-day dietary red meat intervention in human subjects on endogenous NOC formation and fecal water genotoxicity in relation to transcriptomic changes induced in colonic tissue. In order to evaluate the potential effect of an inflamed colon on endogenous nitrosation, the study population consisted of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) control subjects without inflammation. The intervention had no effect on fecal NOC formation but fecal water genotoxicity significantly increased in response to red meat intake. Since IBD patients showed no difference in fecal NOC formation or fecal water genotoxicity levels as compared to IBS controls, for transcriptomic analyses, all subjects were grouped together. Genes significantly correlating with the increase in fecal water genotoxicity were involved in biological pathways indicative of genotoxic effects, including modifications in DNA damage, cell cycle, and apoptosis pathways. Moreover, WNT signaling and nucleosome remodeling pathways were modulated that are known to play a part in the carcinogenic process in the human colon. These results are in line with a possible oxidative effect of dietary heme. We conclude that the gene expression changes identified in this study corroborate the genotoxic potential of diets high in red meat and point towards a possible risk of CRC development in humans. The study investigated transcription levels in human colon biopsies obtained during a colonoscopic exam in 32 subjects suffering from either inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS patients served as control patients for comparison with IBD patients (see Study 1). 12 of these patients (6 IBD and 6 IBS) also followed a 7-day diet high in red meat (300 grams/day) after which a second colonscopic exam was performed to obtain colon biopsies to investigate the effect of the red meat intervention (Study 2). For each subject, cRNA copies of mRNA isolated from the colon biopsies were labeled with one dye (Cy3) and each sample was hybridized on a separate array. One replicate per subject or before/after red meat intervention (so 44 arrays in total, i.e. 20 before patients and 12 before and after patients).
