GPR120, a G protein-coupled receptor for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (FAs), mediates the anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3 (ω-3) FAs. We investigated whether host or tumor GPR120 plays a role in the anti-prostate cancer effects of ω-3 FAs.
MycCap prostate cancer allografts were grown in immunocompetent wild-type (WT) and GPR120 knockout (KO) mice fed ω-3 (fish oil) or ω-6 (corn oil) diets. Immune cell infiltration was quantified by flow cytometry, and gene expression of immune cell markers in isolated tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) was quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Archived tissue from a fish oil intervention trial was used to correlate gene expression of GPR120 with cell cycle progression (CCP) genes and Ki67 index (n = 11-15 per group). All statistical tests were two-sided.
In WT mice (n = 7 per group), dietary ω-3 FAs decreased MycCap allograft tumor growth (mean [SD] final tumor volume ω-6 = 491 [437] mm3 vs ω-3 = 127 [77] mm3, P = .04), whereas in global GPR120KO mice (n = 7 per group) ω-3 FAs had no anticancer effects. Dietary ω-3 FAs inhibited GPR120KO-MycCaP allografts grown in WT mice (n = 8 per group; mean [SD] final tumor volume ω-6 = 776 [767] mm3 vs ω-3 = 36 [34] mm3, P = .02). Omega-3 FA treatment decreased the number of M2-like TAMs in tumor tissue and gene expression of M2 markers in isolated TAMs compared with ω-6 controls in WT (n = 7 per group) but not in GPR120KO mice (n = 7 per group). In human tissue, higher expression of stromal GPR120 correlated with greater reduction in expression of CCP genes in men with prostate cancer on a high-ω-3 diet (r = -.57, P = .04).
Host GPR120 plays a central role in the anti-prostate cancer effects of dietary ω-3 FAs. Future studies are required to determine if the anticancer effects of ω-3 FAs are mediated through inhibition of M2-like macrophages and if host GPR120 status predicts anticancer effects of dietary ω-3 FAs in men with prostate cancer.
GPR120 是长链多不饱和脂肪酸(FAs)的 G 蛋白偶联受体,介导 ω-3(ω-3)FAs 的抗炎作用。我们研究了宿主或肿瘤 GPR120 是否在 ω-3 FAs 的抗前列腺癌作用中发挥作用。
将 MycCap 前列腺癌同种异体移植物植入免疫功能正常的野生型(WT)和 GPR120 敲除(KO)小鼠中,这些小鼠分别喂食 ω-3(鱼油)或 ω-6(玉米油)饮食。通过流式细胞术定量免疫细胞浸润,通过定量实时聚合酶链反应定量分离的肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAMs)中免疫细胞标志物的基因表达。使用鱼油干预试验的存档组织将 GPR120 的基因表达与细胞周期进展(CCP)基因和 Ki67 指数相关联(每组 n=11-15)。所有统计检验均为双侧检验。
在 WT 小鼠中(每组 n=7),饮食 ω-3 FAs 可降低 MycCap 同种异体移植物肿瘤生长(ω-6 组的最终肿瘤体积平均值[标准差]为 491[437]mm3,ω-3 组为 127[77]mm3,P=0.04),而在全身性 GPR120KO 小鼠中(每组 n=7),ω-3 FAs 则没有抗癌作用。饮食 ω-3 FAs 抑制了在 WT 小鼠中生长的 GPR120KO-MycCaP 同种异体移植物(每组 n=8;ω-6 组的最终肿瘤体积平均值[标准差]为 776[767]mm3,ω-3 组为 36[34]mm3,P=0.02)。与 ω-6 对照组相比,ω-3 FA 处理降低了 WT 小鼠(每组 n=7)肿瘤组织中 M2 样 TAMs 的数量和分离 TAMs 中 M2 标志物的基因表达,但在 GPR120KO 小鼠中(每组 n=7)则没有。在人类组织中,高表达的基质 GPR120 与接受高 ω-3 饮食的前列腺癌男性中 CCP 基因表达的更大降低相关(r=-0.57,P=0.04)。
宿主 GPR120 在饮食 ω-3 FAs 的抗前列腺癌作用中起核心作用。需要进一步研究以确定 ω-3 FAs 的抗癌作用是否通过抑制 M2 样巨噬细胞介导,以及宿主 GPR120 状态是否预测饮食 ω-3 FAs 在前列腺癌男性中的抗癌作用。
