Abstract
A trendsetting direct competitive-based biosensing tool has been developed and implemented for the determination of the polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid (ARA), a highly significant biological regulator with decisive roles in viral infections. The designed methodology involves a competitive reaction between the target endogenous ARA and a biotin-ARA competitor for the recognition sites of anti-ARA antibodies covalently attached to the surface of carboxylic acid-coated magnetic microbeads (HOOC-MµBs), followed by the enzymatic label of the biotin-ARA residues with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (Strep-HRP) conjugate. The resulting bioconjugates were magnetically trapped onto the sensing surface of disposable screen-printed carbon transducers (SPCEs) to monitor the extent of the biorecognition reaction through amperometry. The operational functioning of the exhaustively optimized and characterized immunosensing bioplatform was highly convenient for the quantitative determination of ARA in serum samples from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2-) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-infected individuals in a rapid, affordable, trustful, and sensitive manner.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid metabolites are a family of bioactive lipids derived from membrane phospholipids. They are involved in cancer progression, but arachidonic acid metabolite profiles and their related biosynthetic pathways remain uncertain in colorectal cancer (CRC). To compare the arachidonic acid metabolite profiles between CRC patients and healthy controls, quantification was performed using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based analysis of serum and tissue samples. Metabolomics analysis delineated the distinct oxidized lipids in CRC patients and healthy controls. Prostaglandin (PGE2)-derived metabolites were increased, suggesting that the PGE2 biosynthetic pathway was upregulated in CRC. The qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry analyses showed that the expression level of PGE2 synthases, the key protein of PGE2 biosynthesis, was upregulated in CRC and positively correlated with the CD68+ macrophage density and CRC development. Our study indicates that the PGE2 biosynthetic pathway is associated with macrophage infiltration and progression of CRC tumors.

Xie J, Zhou F, Ouyang L, Li Q, Rao S, Su R, Yang S, Li J, Wan X, Yan L, Liu P, Cheng H, Li L, Du G, Feng C, Fan G. Insight into the effect of a heavy metal mixture on neurological damage in rats through combined serum metabolomic and brain proteomic analyses. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 895:165009. [PMID: 37353033 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/25/2023]
Abstract
The heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) that cause neurocognitive impairment have been extensively studied. These elements typically do not exist alone in the environment; they are often found with other heavy metals and can enter the body through various routes, thereby impacting health. Our previous research showed that low Pb, Cd, and Hg levels cause neurobehavioral impairments in weaning and adult rats. However, little is known about the biomarkers and mechanisms underlying Pb, Cd, and Hg mixture-induced neurological impairments. A combined analysis of metabolomic and proteomic data may reveal heavy metal-induced alterations in metabolic and protein profiles, thereby improving our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying heavy metal-induced neurological impairments. Therefore, brain tissue and serum samples were collected from rats exposed to a Pb, Cd, and Hg mixture for proteomic and metabolomic analyses, respectively. The analysis revealed 363 differential proteins in the brain and 206 metabolites in serum uniquely altered in the Pb, Cd, and Hg mixture exposure group, compared to those of the control group. The main metabolic impacted pathways were unsaturated fatty acids biosynthesis, linoleic acid metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, and tryptophan metabolism. We further identified that the levels of arachidonic acid (C20:4 n-3) and, adrenic acid (C22:4 n-3) were elevated and that kynurenic acid (KA) and quinolinic acid (QA) levels and the KA/QA ratio, were decreased in the group exposed to the Pb, Cd, and Hg mixture. A joint analysis of the proteome and metabolome showed that significantly altered proteins such as LPCAT3, SLC7A11, ASCL4, and KYAT1 may participate in the neurological impairments induced by the heavy metal mixture. Overall, we hypothesize that the dysregulation of ferroptosis and kynurenine pathways is associated with neurological damage due to chronic exposure to a heavy metal mixture.

Abstract
Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. & Maxim.) Maxim. leaves (ESL) are widely used to treat ischemic stroke (IS); however, the specific mechanism remains unclear. The microbiota-gut-brain axis plays a critical role in IS and has become a potential therapeutic target. This study aimed to reveal and verify the therapeutic effect of ESL on IS through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry-based untargeted/targeted metabolomics combined with 16S rRNA microbiota sequencing strategy were used to investigate the regulatory effect of ESL on the metabolism and intestinal microenvironment after IS. Lactobacillus reuteri and Clostridium butyricum were used to treat rats with IS to verify that elevated levels of probiotics are key factors in the therapeutic effect of ESL. The results showed that IS significantly altered the accumulation of 41 biomarkers, while ESL restored their concentrations back to normal. Moreover, ESL alleviated the dysbiosis of gut microbiota brought on by IS, by reducing the abundance of pathogens and increasing the abundance of probiotics (e.g., Lactobacillus reuteri and Clostridium butyricum); this could reduce post-stroke injury, thereby having a certain protective effect on IS. This study reveals that ESL plays an important role in treating IS through the microbiota-gut-brain axis, maintaining metabolic homeostasis in vivo.

Abstract
Oxylipins are signal lipid molecules formed from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in several multienzymatic metabolic pathways, such as cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX), epoxygenase (CYP), and anandamide pathways, as well as non-enzymatically. The pathways of PUFA transformation are activated in parallel, yielding a mixture of physiologically active substances. Although the association of oxylipins with carcinogenesis had been established a long time ago, only recently analytical methods have advanced to a degree allowing detection and quantification of oxylipins from different classes (oxylipin profiles). The review describes current approaches to the HPLC-MS/MS analysis of oxylipin profiles and compares oxylipin profiles from patients with oncological diseases (breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer). The possibility of using blood oxylipin profiles as biomarkers in oncological diseases is discussed. Understanding the patterns of PUFA metabolism and physiological activity of combinations of oxylipins will improve early diagnostics of oncological diseases and evaluation of disease prognosis.

Lipids Alterations Associated with Metformin in Healthy Subjects: An Investigation Using Mass Spectrometry Shotgun Approach. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911478.

Abstract
Metformin is an orally effective insulin-sensitizing drug widely prescribed for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Metformin has been reported to alter lipid metabolism. However, the molecular mechanisms behind its impact on lipid metabolism remain partially explored and understood. In the current study, mass spectrometry-based lipid profiling was used to investigate the lipidomic changes in the serum of 26 healthy individuals after a single-dose intake of metformin. Samples were analyzed at five-time points: preadministration, before the maximum concentration of metformin (Cmax), Cmax, after Cmax, and 36 h post-administration. A total of 762 molecules were significantly altered between the five-time points. Based on a comparison between baseline level and Cmax, metformin significantly increased and decreased the level of 33 and 192 lipids, respectively (FDR ≤ 0.05 and fold change cutoff of 1.5). The altered lipids are mainly involved in arachidonic acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Furthermore, several lipids acted in an opposed or similar manner to metformin levels and included fatty acyls, sterol lipids, glycerolipids, and glycerophospholipids. The significantly altered lipid species pointed to fundamental lipid signaling pathways that could be linked to the pleiotropic effects of metformin in T2DM, insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Iron-dependent peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) leads to ferroptosis. While detoxification reactions removing lipid peroxides in phospholipids such as that catalyzed by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) protect cells from ferroptosis, the mechanism through which cells prevent PUFA peroxidation was not completely understood. We previously identified Fas-associated factor 1 (FAF1) as a protein directly interacting with free PUFAs through its UAS domain. Here we report that this interaction is crucial to protect cells from ferroptosis. In the absence of FAF1, cultured cells became sensitive to ferroptosis upon exposure to physiological levels of PUFAs, and mice developed hepatic injury upon consuming a diet enriched in PUFA. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that FAF1 assembles a globular structure that sequesters free PUFAs into a hydrophobic core, a reaction that prevents PUFA peroxidation by limiting its access to iron. Our study suggests that peroxidation of free PUFAs contributes to ferroptosis, and FAF1 acts upstream of GPX4 to prevents initiation of ferroptosis by limiting peroxidation of free PUFAs.

Abstract
The involvement of oxylipins, metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids, in cancer pathogenesis was known long ago, but only the development of the high-throughput methods get the opportunity to study oxylipins on a system level. The study aimed to elucidate alterations in oxylipin metabolism as characteristics of breast cancer patients. We compared the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) oxylipin profile signatures in the blood plasma of 152 healthy volunteers (HC) and 169 patients with different stages of breast cancer (BC). To integrate lipidomics, transcriptomics, and genomics data, we analyzed a transcriptome of 10 open database datasets obtained from tissues and blood cells of BC patients and SNP data for 33 genes related to oxylipin metabolism. We identified 18 oxylipins, metabolites of omega-3 or omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, that were differentially expressed between BCvsHC patients, including anandamide, prostaglandins and hydroxydocosahexaenoic acids. DEGs analysis of tissue and blood samples from BC patients revealed that 19 genes for oxylipin biosynthesis change their expression level, with CYP2C19, PTGS2, HPGD, and FAAH included in the list of DEGs in the analysis of transcriptomes and the list of SNPs associated with BC. Results allow us to suppose that oxylipin signatures reflect the organism's level of response to the disease. Our data regarding changes in oxylipins at the system level show that oxylipin profiles can be used to evaluate the early stages of breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstracts:
Cancer is a leading factor of mortality globally. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes play a pivotal role in the biotransformation of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. Evidence from numerous epidemiological, animal, and clinical studies points to instrumental role of CYPs in cancer initiation, metastasis, and prevention. Substantial research has found that CYPs are involved in activating different carcinogenic chemicals in the environment, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and tobacco-related nitrosamines. Electrophilic intermediates produced from these chemicals can covalently bind to DNA, inducing mutation and cellular transformation that collectively result in cancer development. While bioactivation of procarcinogens and promutagens by CYPs has long been established, the role of CYP-derived endobiotics in carcinogenesis has emerged in recent years. Eicosanoids derived from arachidonic acid via CYP oxidative pathways have been implicated in tumorigenesis, cancer progression and metastasis. The purpose of this review is to update on the current state of knowledge about the cancer molecular mechanism involving CYPs with focus on the biochemical and biotransformation mechanisms in the various CYP-mediated carcinogenesis, and the role of CYP-derived reactive metabolites, from both external and endogenous sources, on cancer growth and tumour formation.

Abstract
There is limited information available regarding the association of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) and inflammation mediators with ischemic stroke. At the same time, new treatment strategies are being pursued. The aim of this study was to carry out a thorough analysis of inflammation with multiple FFA-derivative mediators after and ischemic stroke and standard treatment. HPLC separations of 17 eicosanoids were performed using an Agilent Technologies 1,260 liquid chromatograph. The profiles of the esters of fatty acids were labelled by means of gas chromatography. FFA, and eicosanoid profiles in the group of patients after ischemic stroke significantly differed from the profile of the control group. Studies confirmed the involvement of derivative synthesis pathways responsible for the inflammation, especially palmitic acid (9 and 13 HODE), arachidonic acid, EPA and DHA. Arachidonic acid derivatives were synthesised on 5LOX, 15 LOX and COX pathways with the participation of prostaglandins while omega 3 derivatives strengthened the synthesis of resolvins, RevD1 in particular. The ability to accelerate the quenching of inflammation after ischemic stroke seems to be a promising strategy of stroke treatment in its early stage. In this context, our study points to lipoxins, RevD1, and 9, 13 HODE as the most important derivatives.

Abstract
Oxylipins derived from the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) act as important paracrine and autocrine signaling molecules. A subclass of oxylipins, the eicosanoids, have a broad range of physiological outcomes in inflammation, the immune response, cardiovascular homeostasis, and cell growth regulation. Consequently, eicosanoids are implicated in the pathophysiology of various diseases, most notably cancer, where eicosanoid mediated signaling is involved in tumor development, progression, and angiogenesis. Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are a superfamily of heme monooxygenases generally involved in the clearance of xenobiotics while a subset of isozymes oxidize PUFAs to eicosanoids. Several eicosanoid forming CYPs are overexpressed in tumors, elevating eicosanoid levels and suggesting a key function in tumorigenesis and progression of tumors in the lung, breast, prostate, and kidney. This review summarizes the current understanding of CYPs' involvement in solid tumor etiology and progression providing supporting public data for gene expression from The Cancer Genome Atlas.

The Effect of Diet Supplementation with Pomegranate and Bitter Melon on Lipidomic Profile of Serum and Cancerous Tissues of Rats with Mammary Tumours. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9030243. [PMID: 32192197 PMCID: PMC7139718 DOI: 10.3390/antiox9030243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2020] [Revised: 03/15/2020] [Accepted: 03/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to present overall lipid profile of organisms with ongoing neoplastic process and applied diet supplementation with pomegranate seed oil (PSO) and bitter melon extract (BME). The following were quantified in serum and cancerous tissues of rats suffering from mammary tumours: fatty acids, conjugated fatty acids and sterols, their oxidised metabolites (malondialdehyde and oxysterols) and lipoxygenase (LOX) metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The obtained results indicate that abnormalities in lipid metabolism accompany neoplastic process. These differences concern all classes of lipids and most pathways of their transformation, with the special emphasis on lipid peroxidation and LOX-mediated metabolism. Cancer process appears to be so detrimental that it may conceal positive influence of dietary modifications. The lack of anticarcinogenic properties of PSO and BME in this model may be due to their antioxidant properties or elevated levels of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), which change CLA isomer activity from anti- to pro-tumorigenic. As CLA are the product of conjugated linolenic acids (CLnA) endogenous metabolism, high CLA levels may be explained by applied diet enrichment.

Abstract
Many epidemiological studies revealed an association of dietary consumption of fatty acids and prostate cancer. Linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid and their derivatives such as arachidonic acid and eicosapentanoic acid are important polyunsaturated fatty acids in animal fats and in many vegetable oils. Their metabolism at the cellular level by enzymes such as lipoxygenases and cycloxygenases produces the group of eicosanoids molecules with many biological roles and activities in a variety of human diseases including cancer. In this review, we describe the biological activities of lipids with focus in eicosanoids and prostate cancer.

Abstract
Although many patients are cured from prostate cancer (PCa) by surgery only, there are still patients who will experience rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after surgery, a condition known as biochemical recurrence (BCR). Novel protein prognostic markers in PCa tissue might enable finding better treatment for those patients experiencing BCR with a high chance of metastasis. In this study, we aimed to identify altered proteins in prostate cancer tissue, and to evaluate their potential role as prognostic markers. We used two proteomics strategies to analyse 34 prostate tumours (PCa) and 33 normal adjacent prostate (NAP) tissues. An independent cohort of 481 samples was used to evaluate the expression of three proteins: AGR2, FASN and LOX5 as prognostic markers of the disease. Tissue microarray immunohistochemical staining indicated that a low percentage of positive tumour cells for AGR2 (HR (95% CI) = 0.61 (0.43-0.93)), and a low percentage of positive tumour cells for LOX5 expression (HR (95% CI) = 2.53 (1.23-5.22)) are predictors of BCR after RP. In contrast, FASN expression had no prognostic value for PCa.

Abstract
Oxylipins are lipid mediators produced from polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism, and are thought to be a molecular explanation for the diverse biological effects of PUFAs. Like PUFAs, oxylipins are distinguished by their omega-6 (n6) or omega-3 (n3) chemistry. We review the use of n6 oxylipins as biomarkers of disease and their use in diagnosis and risk assessment. We show cases where oxylipins derived from linoleate (LA) or arachidonate (AA) produced by the activities of lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase, epoxygenase, ω/ω-1 hydroxylase, and autooxidation are useful as biomarkers or risk markers. HODEs, KODEs, EpOMEs, DiHOMEs, and other metabolites of LA as well as prostanoids, HETEs, KETEs, EpETrEs, and DiHETrEs, and other metabolites of AA were useful for understanding the different signaling environments in conditions from traumatic brain injury, to major coronary events, dyslipidemia, sepsis, and more. We next evaluate interventions that alter the concentrations of n6 oxylipins in plasma. We note the utility and response of each plasma fraction, and the generally increasing utility from the non-esterified, to the esterified, to the lipoprotein fractions. Finally, we review the effects which are specifically related to n6 oxylipins and most likely to be beneficial. Both n6 and n3 oxylipins work together in an exceedingly complex matrix to produce physiological effects. This overview should provide future investigators with important perspectives for the emerging utility of n6 oxylipins as products of n6 PUFAs in human health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most forms of cancer, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), are associated with varying degrees of chronic inflammation. The association between the expression of eicosanoids, which are bioactive lipid mediators of inflammation, and HCC remains unknown. The aim of this study was to measure serum and hepatic eicosanoids in a mouse model of HCC with the delivery of c-Met and activated b-catenin by hepatocyte hydrodynamic injection. MATERIAL AND METHODS The HCC mouse model, and normal control mice, were used in this study with co-delivery of human c-Met combined with activated β-catenin into hepatocytes through hydrodynamic injection. Liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis was used to measure serum and hepatic eicosanoid levels. RESULTS The combined activation of c-Met and β-catenin was induced in the HCC mouse model. LC-MS/MS showed that a total of 13 eicosanoids in serum and 12 eicosanoids in liver tissue were significantly increased in the HCC mice, when compared with control mice. CONCLUSIONS In a mouse model of HCC, co-activation of the c-Met and β-catenin signaling pathway resulted in increased levels of serum and hepatic eicosanoids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eicosanoids as inflammatory mediators take part in the regulation of disease progression. However, the application of serum eicosanoid in disease progression identification was still uncertain. METHODS Serum from 52 healthy volunteers, 34 enteritis patients and 55 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients were collected. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to analyze the change of serum eicosanoids. RESULTS Of 158 eicosanoids, we found that lower levels of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids 13-HOTrE, 9-HOTrE, DHA, 11-HETE and 12-HHT were observed in enteritis and CRC group compared with healthy group, meanwhile the content of 5-iPF2α-VI as oxidative stress mediator in enteritis and CRC group was greater than that in healthy groups. Moreover, 9-HODE, 13-HODE, 12,13-diHOME, 8-HETE and 15-HETE were dramatically decrease in CRC group compared with non-CRC group. Additionally, the change of 5-, 12- and 15-HETE content in serum sample was associated with progression from healthy to enteritis, finally to CRC. No significant difference between serum eicosanoids and the expression of CerbB-2 and Ki67 were observed. CONCLUSION Serum eicosanoids might be used as a possible biomarker for identifying among health, enteritis and CRC.

Abstract
CONTEXT The aetiology and pathogenesis polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remain uncertain and thus the relative studies are still crucial. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to analyse the fatty acids profiles of the main phospholipids species in serum from women with PCOS classified into phenotypes, and to diagnose women more susceptible to the occurrence of inflammatory state. DESIGN PCOS screening tests were performed in The Clinic of Gynecology and Urogynecology of Pomeranian Medical University in the 2014-2015 years. SETTING The study are designed for general community and a primary care or referral center. PATIENTS 39 patients with PCOS, diagnosed according to Rotterdam's criteria, and 14 healthy women, as a control group, participated in this study. Fatty acid profiles were investigated using gas chromatography. A total of 36 fatty acids and their derivatives were identified and quantified. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Changes in fatty acids profile in plasma from women with PCOS phenotypes are not identical. RESULTS The analyses showed lowered level of total SFA, increase in the concentration of caprylic acid and the activation of palmitic and oleic acids pathways. The level of nervonic acid was several times higher than in the control group, and the levels of behenic and tricosanoic acids were reduced. CONCLUSIONS In both phenotypes the alternative metabolic pathways of oleic acid were activated, but they were more pronounced in women with proper level of androgens. Gamma-linolenic acid (C18:3n6) can be a factor protecting hyperandrogenic women.

Abstract
Nutrition is a factor involved in inflammation and a modulator of risk toward some cancers, and the complexity of linkages between dietary components and epigenetics mechanisms (e.g., DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin remodeling) may affect the inflammation phenotype and the development of cancer. An increasing number of studies support the role of diet in cancer development, prevention, and treatment. Although current knowledge regarding nutri-epigenetics is expanding, more work is needed, and nurse scientists have the potential to significantly contribute to the expansion of this knowledge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Both oleic acid (OA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) have been proposed to down-regulate cell proliferation of prostate, breast, and bladder cancer cells. However, direct evidence that OA and/or ALA suppresses to the development of esophageal cancer has not been studied. Also, no previous studies have evaluated how OA and/or ALA regulates malignant potential (cell proliferation, migration, colony formation and adhesion) and intracellular signaling pathways, and whether their effects might be synergistic and/or additive in esophageal cancer cells has not yet been elucidated. MATERIALS/METHODS We conducted in vitro studies and evaluated whether OA and ALA alone or in combination may regulate malignant potential in OE19 and OE33 esophageal cancer cell lines. RESULTS Both OA and ALA significantly down-regulated cell proliferation, adhesion and/or migration. OA and/or ALA did not change the number of colonies but decrease colony sizes when compared to control. Also, we observed that OA and/or ALA positively cross-regulates the expression levels of AMPK/S6 axis. Moreover, OA and ALA up-regulated tumor suppressor genes (p53, p21, and p27) and these effects are abolished by AMPK siRNA administration. Importantly, we observed that these effects are additively regulated by OA and ALA in combination when compared to control in OE19 and OE33 esophageal cancer cell lines. CONCLUSIONS Our novel mechanistic studies provide evidence for an important role for OA and ALA in esophageal cancer, and suggest that OA and/or ALA might be useful agents in the management or chemoprevention of esophageal cancer.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), which are a group of naturally occurring in food isomers of linoleic acid, seem to be active in each step of cancer development. There are many possible mechanisms of this action, and interactions with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in lipoxygenase (LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways are among the most likely ones. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of diet supplementation with CLA of pregnant and breastfeeding Sprague-Dawley female rats on selected polyunsaturated fatty acids and their LOX metabolites concentrations in serum of the progeny with chemically induced mammary tumors. We confirmed that higher supply of CLA in the diet of female rats corresponded with the lower susceptibility to chemically induced mammary tumors in their female offspring. It also influenced the polyunsaturated n-3 and n-6 fatty acid concentrations in serum, as well as the concentrations of their LOX metabolites. The significant negative correlation between the concentrations of two CLA isomers in serum and linoleic acid (p=0.0144, p=0.0098), eicosapentaenoic acid (p=0.0158, p=0.0124), and 5-HEPE (p=0.0014, p=0.01690) and between cis-9, trans-11 CLA and 15-HEPE was detected, whereas arachidonic acid concentration positively correlated with CLA concentration in serum (p=0.0150, p=0.0231). Our results indicate that CLA can compete with PUFA and influence serum concentration of PUFA and their LOX metabolites, which could partly explain the anticancerogenic action of CLA.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) is metabolized in human platelets by two main pathways: via cyclooxygenase (COX-1) to prostaglandins and thromboxane (TX)A2 and via 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) to 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12(S)-HETE). While COX products are known to regulate platelet reactivity, the role of 12-LOX metabolites is still controversial. To better understand the platelet enzymatic pathways, we developed a simple and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay for the simultaneous measurement of both platelet metabolites in human serum. After the addition of deuterated d4-TXB2 and d8-12(S)-HETE as internal standards and the solid-phase extraction of serum samples, analytes were resolved using reversed-phase C18 column and quantified using negative ion electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. Intra and interassay imprecisions were less than 10% for both analytes. The lower limits of quantification were 0.244ng/ml and 0.976ng/ml for TXB2 and 12(S)-HETE, respectively. This method was applied to measure platelet metabolites in healthy subjects (n=35). LC-MS/MS allows rapid, simultaneous, sensitive and accurate quantification of both platelet AA products in human serum with a small sample volume required and a minimal sample preparation.
