Mechanisms linking obesity to altered metabolism in mice colon carcinogenesis

چکیده
There are an increasing number of reports on obesity being a key risk factor for the development of colon cancer. Our goal in this study was to explore the metabolic networks and molecular signaling pathways linking obesity, adipose tissue and colon cancer. Using in-vivo experiments, we found that mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) and injected with MC38 colon cancer cells develop significantly larger tumors than their counterparts fed a control diet. In ex-vivo experiments, MC38 and CT26 colon cancer cells exposed to conditioned media (CM) from the adipose tissue of HFD-fed mice demonstrated significantly lower oxygen consumption rate as well as lower maximal oxygen consumption rate after carbonyl cyanide-4-trifluoromethoxy-phenylhydrazone treatment. In addition, in-vitro assays showed downregulated expression of mitochondrial genes in colon cancer cells exposed to CM prepared from the visceral fat of HFD-fed mice or to leptin. Interestingly, leptin levels detected in the media of adipose tissue explants co-cultured with MC38 cancer cells were higher than in adipose tissue explants cultures, indicating cross talk between the adipose tissue and the cancer cells. Salient findings of the present study demonstrate that this crosstalk is mediated at least partially by the JNK/STAT3-signaling pathway.

Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLAs) are composed of positional and stereo isomers of octadecadienoate (18:2). They are found in foods derived from ruminants (beef and lamb as well as dairy products from these sources). When a mixture of isomers is fed to experimental animals, chemically induced cancer, tumorogenesis in mammary gland, colon and skin is decreased. Mechanisms of inhibition of carcino...

Obesity is linked to increased risk of colon cancer. Consequently, rising levels of obesity worldwide are likely to have a significant impact on obesity-related colon cancers in the decades to come. Understanding the molecular mechanisms whereby obesity increases the risk of colon cancer is, thus, a focus for research on strategies to prevent the increasing trend in obesity-related cancers. The...

Objective: Female metabolism is highly responding towards diet associated changes. Monosodium glutamate is a popular flavor enhancer, which is widely used to develop umami taste. Young female generation nowadays deals with more issues related to metabolism and fertility. Present study is an effort to monitor the effect of monosodium glutamate oral consumption on female mice health and obesity. ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the fifth-most common form of cancer worldwide and carries a high mortality rate attributed to lack of effective treatment. Males are 8 times more likely to develop HCC than females, an effect largely driven by sex hormones, albeit through still poorly understood mechanisms. We previously identified TRIM28 (tripartite protein 28), a scaffold protein cap...

Introduction: Several parameters including induced inflammation by immune system, overgrowth of adipose tissue, and hypertrophied adipocytes lead to dyslipidemia, imbalanced proinflammatory, and antiinflammatory adipokines secretion. According to the adipokines expression in various pathological conditions like obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases, adipokines as biomarke...
