Docosahexaenoic acid attenuates Western diet-induced hepatic fibrosis in Ldlr(-/-) mice by targeting the TGFβ-Smad3 pathway

Creator:

Lytle, Kelli A., Depner, Christopher M., Wong, Carmen P., and Jump, Donald B.

Abstract:

DHA (22:6,ω3), but not EPA (20:5,ω3), attenuates Western diet (WD)-induced hepatic fibrosis in a Ldlr[superscript −/−] mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. We examined the molecular basis for the differential effect of dietary EPA and DHA on WD-induced hepatic fibrosis. DHA was more effective than EPA at preventing WD-induced effects on...

Effects of Sulforaphane and 3,3'-Diindolylmethane on Genome-Wide Promoter Methylation in Normal Prostate Epithelial Cells and Prostate Cancer Cells

Wong, Carmen P., Hsu, Anna, Buchanan, Alex, Palomera-Sanchez, Zoraya, Beaver, Laura M., Houseman, E. Andres, Williams, David E., Dashwood, Roderick H., and Ho, Emily

Abstract:

Epigenetic changes, including aberrant DNA methylation, result in altered gene expression and play an important role in carcinogenesis. Phytochemicals such as sulforaphane (SFN) and 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM) are promising chemopreventive agents for the treatment of prostate cancer. Both have been shown to induce re-expression of genes, including tumor suppressor genes silenced...
