Trans-10, cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid modulates NF-κB activation and TNF-α production in porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells via a PPARγ-dependent pathway

The activation of PPARγ by ligands, including conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers, plays an important role in the immune response. Among CLA isomers, trans-10, cis-12 (t10c12)-CLA is known to participate in the modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of t10c12-CLA on PPARγ activation, NF-κB activation and TNF-α expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-naive and LPS-stimulated porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). In addition, the effect of PPARγ inhibition on NF-κB activation and TNF-α expression in porcine PBMC was examined. t10c12-CLA was found to increase TNF-α expression and NF-κB activity in LPS-naive porcine PBMC. In contrast, t10c12-CLA decreased TNF-α expression and NF-κB activity in LPS-stimulated porcine PBMC. t10c12-CLA up-regulated PPARγ activity and mRNA expression in both LPS-naive and LPS-stimulated porcine PBMC. GW9662, a PPARγ antagonist, completely negated the modulating effects of t10c12-CLA on TNF-α expression and NF-κB activity in both LPS-naive and LPS-stimulated porcine PBMC. These results suggest that t10c12-CLA can modulate TNF-α production and NF-κB activation by a PPARγ-dependent pathway in porcine PBMC.

Conjugated linoleic acid attenuates the production and gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines in weaned pigs challenged with lipopolysaccharide

We investigated the anti-inflammatory role of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in inflammation-challenged weaned pigs and in in vitro cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). To test the hypothesis that inflammation responses can be attenuated by dietary CLA supplementation, we used an acute inflammation model in which pigs were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). After 14 d of dietary supplementation with either 2% soybean oil or 2% CLA, half of the pigs in each diet group were challenged with LPS. Dietary CLA alleviated growth depression and prevented the elevations in production and mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines [i.e., interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha] induced by the LPS challenge. CLA enhanced the expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) in spleen and thymus. To further elucidate the inhibitory effects and the mechanism of action of CLA on cytokine profiles (i.e., IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha), PBMCs were isolated from weaned pigs and cultured in media containing cis-9, trans-11 (9c,11t) CLA and trans-10, cis-12 (10t,12c) CLA. Each CLA isomer suppressed the production and expression of IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, and enhanced PPARgamma activation and gene expression in cultured PBMCs. At the molecular level, the inhibitory actions of CLA on IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha are attributable mainly to 10t,12c-CLA and the anti-inflammatory properties of CLA are mediated, at least in part, through a PPARgamma-dependent mechanism.

Effect of dietary conjugated linoleic acid isomers on lipid metabolism in hamsters fed high-carbohydrate and high-fat diets

Dietary conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) have been reported to have a number of isomer-dependent effects on lipid metabolism including reduction in adipose tissue deposition, changes in plasma lipoprotein concentrations and hepatic lipid accumulation. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of individual CLA isomers against lipogenic and high 'Western' fat background diets. Golden Syrian hamsters were fed a high-carbohydrate rodent chow or chow supplemented with 17.25 % fat formulated to represent the type and amount of fatty acids found in a typical 'Western' diet (including 0.2 % cholesterol). Diets were further supplemented with 0.25 % (w/w) rapeseed oil, cis9, trans11 (c9,t11)-CLA or trans10, cis12 (t10,c12)-CLA. Neither isomer had a significant impact on plasma lipid or lipoprotein concentrations. The t10,c12-CLA isomer significantly reduced perirenal adipose tissue depot mass. While adipose tissue acetyl CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase mRNA concentrations (as measured by quantitative PCR) were unaffected by CLA, lipoprotein lipase mRNA was specifically reduced by t10,c12-CLA, on both background diets (P < 0.001). This was associated with a specific reduction of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c expression in perirenal adipose tissue (P = 0.018). The isomers appear to have divergent effects on liver TAG content with c9,t11-CLA producing lower concentrations than t10,c12-CLA. We conclude that t10,c12-CLA modestly reduces adipose tissue deposition in the Golden Syrian hamster independently of background diet and this may possibly result from reduced uptake of lipoprotein fatty acids, as a consequence of reduced lipoprotein lipase gene expression.     

Conjugated linoleic acid isomers and cancer

We reviewed the literature regarding the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) preparations enriched in specific isomers, cis9, trans11-CLA (c9, t11-CLA) or trans10, cis12-CLA (t10, c12-CLA), on tumorigenesis in vivo and growth of tumor cell lines in vitro. We also examined the potential mechanisms by which CLA isomers may alter the incidence of cancer. We found no published reports that examined the effects of purified CLA isomers on human cancer in vivo. Incidence of rat mammary tumors induced by methylnitrosourea was decreased by c9, t11-CLA in all studies and by t10, c12-CLA in just a few that included it. Those 2 isomers decreased the incidence of forestomach tumors induced by benzo (a) pyrene in mice. Both isomers reduced breast and forestomach tumorigenesis. The c9, t11-CLA isomer did not affect the development of spontaneous tumors of the intestine or mammary gland, whereas t10, c12-CLA increased development of genetically induced mammary and intestinal tumors. In vitro, t10, c12-CLA inhibited the growth of mammary, colon, colorectal, gastric, prostate, and hepatoma cell lines. These 2 CLA isomers may regulate tumor growth through different mechanisms, because they have markedly different effects on lipid metabolism and regulation of oncogenes. In addition, c9, t11-CLA inhibited the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway and t10, c12-CLA inhibited the lipooxygenase pathway. The t10, c12-CLA isomer induced the expression of apoptotic genes, whereas c9, t11-CLA did not increase apoptosis in most of the studies that assessed it. Several minor isomers including t9, t11-CLA; c11, t13-CLA; c9, c11-CLA; and t7, c11-CLA were more effective than c9, t11-CLA or t10, c12-CLA in inhibiting cell growth in vitro. Additional studies with purified isomers are needed to establish the health benefit and risk ratios of each isomer in humans.     

Conjugated linoleic acid isomers inhibit platelet-derived growth factor-induced NF-κB transactivation and collagen formation in human vascular smooth muscle cells

Background Atherosclerosis is characterized by extensive thickening of the arterial intima partially resulting from deposition of collagen by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Polyunsaturated fatty acids stimulate collagen formation through NF-κB activation. Aim of the study The present study aimed to explore the effect of conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) which are known to inhibit NF-κB activation on collagen formation by SMCs. Methods Vascular SMCs were cultured with 50 μmol/l of CLA isomers (c9t11-CLA, t10c12-CLA) or linoleic acid (LA) and analysed for collagen formation and NF-κB p50 transactivation. Results Treatment with CLA isomers but not LA significantly reduced PDGF-stimulated [³H] proline incorporation into cell layer protein of SMCs without altering cell proliferation. Simultaneous treatment with the PPARγ inhibitor T0070907 abrogated this effect. Treatment of SMCs with c9t11-CLA and t10c12-CLA significantly reduced PDGF-induced NF-κB p50 activation. Conclusions CLA isomers inhibit PDGF-stimulated collagen production by vascular SMCs, which is considered to be a hallmark of atherosclerosis, in a PPARγ-dependent manner. Whether inhibition of the NF-κB-pathway is of significance for the reduction of collagen formation by CLA isomers needs further investigation.     

Cis-9,trans-11-conjugated linoleic acid inhibits allergic sensitization and airway inflammation via a PPARgamma-related mechanism in mice

Milk consumption from early childhood on has been found to be inversely correlated with allergic sensitization and the onset of bronchial asthma. We tested whether cis-9,trans-11-conjugated linoleic acid (c9,t11-CLA), naturally occurring in milk fat, may prevent allergic sensitization and inhibit airway inflammation in a murine asthma model. BALB/c mice were fed a diet enriched in 1 wt% of c9,t11-CLA or a control diet 7 d prior to and for 32 d during sensitization [d 1 and 14, 100 mg/L ovalbumin (OVA) in adjuvant vs. PBS] and airway challenges (d 28-30, 1% OVA in PBS vs. PBS). Subgroups of mice were coadministered 20 micromol/L of the selective PPARgamma antagonist GW9662 during each OVA challenge. C9,t11-CLA feeding resulted in significantly reduced IgE production and allergen-induced in vivo airway hyperresponsiveness. Further, less mucous plugging of segmental bronchi and significantly reduced interleukin-5 and eosinophils were determined in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids of c9,t11-CLA-fed mice. C9,t11-CLA feeding prevented the downregulation of PPARgamma mRNA in the lung tissues observed after allergen sensitization and airway challenges in control mice. The inhibitory effects of c9,t11-CLA on airway inflammation were partially prevented by coadministration of GW9962. Further, c9,t11-CLA feeding resulted in a significantly lower concentration of the eicosanoid precursor, arachidonic acid, in tissue lipids. These findings demonstrate that dietary c9,t11-CLA can reduce allergic airway inflammation, most likely via a PPARgamma-related mechanism and by reducing eicosanoid precursors. They give new insights into the fatty acid-mediated mechanism of immunomodulation and may represent a step toward an attractive novel strategy in the dietary prevention and treatment of allergic asthma.

CLA-enriched diet containing t10,c12-CLA alters bile acid homeostasis and increases the risk of cholelithiasis in mice

Mice fed a mixture of CLA containing t10,c12-CLA lose fat mass and develop hyperinsulinemia and hepatic steatosis due to an accumulation of TG and cholesterol. Because cholesterol is the precursor in bile acid (BA) synthesis, we investigated whether t10,c12-CLA alters BA metabolism. In Expt. 1, female C57Bl/6J mice were fed a standard diet for 28 d supplemented with a CLA mixture (1 g/100 g) or not (controls). In Expt. 2, the feeding period was reduced to 4, 6, and 10 d. In Expt. 3, mice were fed a diet supplemented with linoleic acid, c9,t11-CLA, or t10,c12-CLA (0.4 g/100 g) for 28 d. In Expt. 1, the BA pool size was greater in CLA-fed mice than in controls and the entero-hepatic circulation of BA was altered due to greater BA synthesis and ileal reclamation. This resulted from higher hepatic cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) and ileal apical sodium BA transporter expressions in CLA-fed mice. Furthermore, hepatic Na(+)/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) (-52%) and bile salt export pump (BSEP) (-77%) protein levels were lower in CLA-fed mice than in controls, leading to a greater accumulation of BA in the plasma (+500%); also, the cholesterol saturation index and the concentration of hydrophobic BA in the bile were greater in CLA-fed mice, changes associated with the presence of cholesterol crystals. Expt. 2 suggests that CLA-mediated changes were caused by hyperinsulinemia, which occurred after 6 d of the CLA diet before NTCP and BSEP mRNA downregulation (10 d). Expt. 3 demonstrated that only t10,c12-CLA altered NTCP and BSEP mRNA levels. In conclusion, t10,c12-CLA alters BA homeostasis and increases the risk of cholelithiasis in mice.

Incorporation of conjugated linoleic acid isomers into porcine erythrocytes

Purpose

The aim of the current study was to determine the incorporation of cis (c) 9, trans (t) 11-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and t10, c12-CLA into porcine erythrocytes—both isomers were supplemented in equal proportions.

Methods

The study group consisted of 16 piglets randomly assigned into experimental and control group. For the period of 5 weeks, the piglets from the experimental group were receiving a 1.2 % CLA supplement while the controls were supplemented with the same amount of sunflower oil. For the remaining 7 weeks, the piglets were fed without a supplement. Blood samples to evaluate incorporation of CLA into erythrocyte membranes were taken from all animals on weekly basis.

Results

Compared to t10, c12-CLA isomer, proportion of c9, t11-CLA isomer in the membrane of erythrocytes was higher for the whole time of the study period. After 4 weeks of feeding, it approaches the plateau. The peak value for both isomers was measured at the end of week 5, with a value of 3.24 g c9, t11-CLA/100 g of fatty acids and a 1.09 g t10, c12-CLA/100 g of fatty acids (p < 0.0001). After cessation of supplementation, the proportion of both isomers gradually decreased to be almost completely washed out—in 7 weeks.

Conclusions

During supplementation with equivalent amounts of CLA isomers, their proportion in membranes of porcine erythrocytes increases with time, with higher proportion of c9, t11-CLA. CLA isomers probably differently incorporate into different cell membranes at different species which could explain its various biological functions.

Isomer-specific effect of conjugated linoleic acid on inflammatory adipokines associated with fat accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

The purpose of this study was to examine the isomer-specific effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on inflammatory markers associated with fat accumulation in cultures of differentiating 3T3-L1 adipocytes. trans-10,cis-12 CLA (t10c12 CLA) reduced leptin secretion and fat accumulation. Linoleic acid (LA) and cis-9,trans-11 CLA (c9t11 CLA) increased them, but not significantly. t10c12 CLA and LA showed similar effects on mRNA expression of inflammatory markers. t10c12 CLA and LA tended to up-regulate the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6 (not significantly), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and C-reactive protein (CRP) with no significant change in the secretion of adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory adipokine. However, c9t11 CLA induced no significant change in the mRNA expression of IL-6, TNF-alpha, or CRP, but significantly increased adiponectin secretion. In conclusion, CLA exerted isomer-specific effects on fat accumulation and mRNA expression of inflammatory markers in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. t10c12 CLA up-regulated inflammatory markers in spite of the decreased fat accumulation, and TNF-alpha might be one of the causal factors.
