The rations corresponding with the four treatments were formulated with 4% flaxseed ＋ 9% sunflower seed, 8% flaxseed ＋ 18% sunflower seed, 15% flaxseed, and soybean meal, respectively. Sunflower seed was unshelled and flaxseed was whole. Ratios of ω-6 fatty acid to ω-3 fatty acid in 4 dietary treatments were 5.67, 5.21, 1.07, and 11.83, respectively. It can be concluded that long-term feeding 15% flaxseed had no significant （P〉 0.05） influence on egg production, egg weight, eggshell quality, yolk weight, and percentage of yolk weight. Dietary ratio of ω-6 fatty acid to ω-3 fatty acid had impact on the 0-3 fatty acid levels in yolk, nevertheless yolk fatty acid profiles were different from those of dietary fatty acid compositions.展开更多

In parallel,additional analyses were performed on 2 human multiple myeloma cell lines,U266 and RPMI8226.U266 cells were treated with cerulenin at various concentrations(5 to 320μg/ml)for 24 h,and metabolic activity was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT)assays.Apoptosis was evaluated by dual Annexin V/PI (propidium iodide)labeling and flow cytometry(FCM)in U266 cells treated with 20μg/ml cerulenin for 12 h or 24 h.Results:By immunohistochemistry,we found that 19 of 27 bone marrow samples obtained from MM patients expressed significantly high levels of FAS.Similarly,by RT-PCR,22 of 27 bone marrow samples obtained from MM patients,U266 and RPMI8226 showed FAS expression,whereas PBMC samples from 12 healthy donors did not express detectable level of FAS.FAS protein expression was confirmed by immunoblot analysis in 16 of 27 bone marrow samples obtained from MM patients,U266 and RPMI8226 cell lines,and no FAS protein expression was detected in PBMC samples from 12 healthy donors.U266 cells were highly sensitive to cerulenin treatment,with a dosage-related effect on metabolic activity,as a measure for cell proliferation.U266 cells treated with 20μg/ml cerulenin for 12 and 24 h also showed early sign of apoptosis with 56.9%and 69.3%Annexin V+/PI ?cells,and late apoptotic and necrotic cells with 3.2%and 17.6%Annexin V+/PI +cells.Conclusion:Increased FAS expression existed in multiple myeloma samples and human myeloma cell lines.Cerulenin greatly inhibited metabolic activity/cell proliferation of U266 cells and induced apoptosis,suggesting that FAS is an effective target for pharmacological therapy in human multiple myeloma.展开更多
