Abstract

Both epidemiological and experimental studies indicate that dietary n-3 PUFA inhibit carcinogenesis and tumour growth. Metastatic diffusion has also been found to be affected in animals fed diets containing purified n-3 PUFA or fish oil. In the present study, we investigated whether the metastatic diffusion of a highly metastatic variant (F10-SR cells) isolated from the B16 melanoma F10 line was affected by feeding host animals a diet containing 5 % fish oil. In these animals, compared with those fed a diet containing 5 % maize oil, there was a reduced number of metastatic pulmonary colonies. The immunohistochemical analysis of appropriate markers revealed that the antimetastatic effect of dietary n-3 PUFA was not related to a reduction of proliferation, but rather to an enhanced apoptotic activity. The reduction of von Willebrand factor immunoreactivity found in pulmonary colonies of F10-SR cells grown in fish oil-fed animals indicates that a decrease of angiogenesis contributes to the antimetastatic effect of dietary n-3 PUFA. This conclusion stands in spite of the higher expression of vascular endothelial growth factor observed in pulmonary colonies grown in fish oil-fed animals.
