Effects of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid on adhesion and invasion of human prostate cancer PC-3 cells in vitro
Objective To investigate the effects of 2 kinds of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
on the adhesion and invasion of PC-3
a high metastatic human prostate tumor cell line
and explore the possible mechanism. Methods MTT assay was used to determine the effects of EPA or DHA on the proliferation of PC-3 cells. Adhesion assay and invasion assay were used to observe the anti-adhesion and anti-invasion effects of EPA or DHA on PC-3 cells
respectively. RT-PCR analysis was conducted to detect the expression of RhoA
Rac1
Rac2 and Cdc42 mRNAs. Results Both EPA and DHA inhibited the growth of PC-3 cells in a dose-dependent manner. After treated with EPA or DHA of 60 μmol/L
the adhesion and invasion abilities of the cells were decreased. The adhesion rate were lesser than that of the control when adhered for 30
60
90 and 120 min on matrigel
and the invasion inhibitory rate were (35.65±7.76)% in EPA treated group and (41.32±5.86)% in DHA treated group (P<0.01). The expressions of RhoA
Rac2 and Cdc42 in PC-3 cells were all decreased in compare with those of the control. Conclusion These results suggest that ω-3 PUFA can inhibit the adhesion and invasion of PC-3 cells by down-regulating the expression of the Rho GTPase.
