Eicosapentaenoic acid induced SKOV-3 cell apoptosis through ERK1/2–mTOR–NF-κB pathways

Abstract: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a typical kind of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, has been considered to be a potent antitumor adjuvant. However, the mechanism related to EPA-induced SKOV-3 cell apoptosis has not been investigated. In this study, we elucidated the anticancer effect of EPA on SKOV-3 cells and its molecular mechanisms. The results of fluorescence microscopy showed that EPA induced typical apoptotic morphological features in SKOV-3 cells. Flow cytometric analysis indicated that EPA induced apoptosi… Show more

“…A study conducted by Ge et al () once demonstrated that HTEA reduced myocardial cell apoptosis, decreased myocardial infraction size and myocardial abnormalities. Another previous study showed that mTOR/NF‐κB signaling pathway could act as a mediator to influence cell apoptosis (Han, Zhang, Meng, Cheng, & Wang, ). Besides, according to a relevant research, the inhibition of NF‐κB signaling pathway increased the anti‐apoptotic factor Bcl‐2 and decreased the pro‐apoptotic factors Bax and Fasl (Mattson, ).…”

“…DHA reduced proliferation of the MHCC97L human metastatic hepatocarcinoma line through the inhibition of cyclin A/CDK2 [236]. EPA induced SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells apoptosis via ERK1/2-mTOR-NF-κB pathways [237]. DHA and ALA decreased viability of ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3, A2780, HO8910), but only DHA also inhibited invasion and metastasis, via multiple molecular pathways [238].…”

“…The alterations induced by ω-3 PUFA in membranes can substantially modulate important signaling pathways for cancer development. As a result, they can reduce the expression/activity of the nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) in several kinds of cancer cells, thus inducing apoptosis [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ]. ω-3 PUFA can also inhibit cancer cell growth by altering the levels of several factors involved in the progression of the cell cycle, such as cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases and retinoblastoma protein [ 31 ].…”
