Abstract
The differential anticarcinogenic activity of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers, including c9,t11-CLA, t10,c12-CLA, and t,t-CLA, was examined in a mouse forestomach carcinogenesis regimen induced by benzo(a)pyrene (BP). Female ICR mice (6-7 weeks of age, 26 +/- 1 g) were divided into six groups (30 mice/group, 5 mice/cage): control, linoleic acid, CLA, c9,t11-CLA, t10,c12-CLA, and t,t-CLA. Each mouse was orally given 0.1 mL of sample and 0.1 mL of olive oil on Monday and Wednesday and BP (2 mg in 0.2 mL of olive oil) on Friday. This cycle was repeated four times. Twenty-three weeks later, the experiment was terminated for tumor analysis. t,t-CLA significantly reduced (p < 0.05) both tumor number and tumor size per mouse, relative to CLA and c9,t11-CLA, but similar to t10,c12-CLA. Reduction in tumor incidence by t,t-CLA (84.6%) was similar to that by CLA, c9,t11-CLA, and t10,c12-CLA, but it was significantly reduced (p < 0.05), relative to 100% linoleic acid and control. t,t-CLA elevated the apoptotic index to 35%, relative to 23% for CLA, 21% for c9,t11-CLA, 29% for t10,c12-CLA, 7% for linoleic acid, and 4% for control. t,t-CLA up-regulated the expression of the Bax gene and activated caspase-3 enzymes but down-regulated expression of the Bcl-2 gene. Cytosolic phospholipase A(2) activity was not affected by the CLA isomers tested. These results suggest that t,t-CLA has superior anticarcinogenic potential on BP-induced mouse forestomach neoplasia to CLA, c9,t11-CLA, and t10,c12-CLA, via the induction of apoptosis through mitochondrial dysfunction.
