In response to endogenous and exogenous stimuli, macrophages are activated to produce a cocktail of proinflammatory and anti-apoptotic mediators, thereby participating in the processes of inflammation-associated oncogenesis. Cereals, including corn and rice, have biological potentials to synthesize self-protective chemicals in order to repel the invasion of microorganisms and insects. We examined the suppressive effects of several fatty acids, including a new class of lipoxygenase metabolites of linoleic acid (LA) found in cereals, namely (±)-9-hydroxy-trans,cis-10,12-octadecadienoic acid (9-HOA from rice), (±)-13-hydroxy-10-oxo-trans-11-octadecenoic acid (13-HOA from corn), and (±)-10-oxo-trans-11-octadecen-13-olide (10-ODO from corn), on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mRNA expression of proinflammatory mediators in RAW264.7 murine macrophages. Each metabolite exhibited a suppressive activity toward nitrite production than LA, octadeca-9Z,11E-dienoic acid (a conjugated LA), and 13(S)-hydroxyoctadeca-9Z,11E-dienoic acid. LPS-up-regulated mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, interleukin-6, and toll-like receptor-2, -4, and -9 was also markedly attenuated without affecting the expression levels of several constitutive genes, including COX-1, as detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions. In addition, Western blot and luciferase reporter assay results showed that 13-HOA suppressed the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (extracellular signal-regulated kinasel/2, c-Jun N-terminal kinasel/2, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase), and Akt (Ser 473 ), and also attenuated degradation of inhibitor kappaB, nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappaB (NFκB), and the transcriptional activities of NFκB and activator protein-1, both of which have essential roles in the transcription of numerous proinflammatory and oncogenic genes. In contrast, 13-HOA did not serve as a ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ. Based on our findings, we propose that 13-HOA, a functionally novel LA-derivative, is a promising agent for anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive strategies with reasonable molecular mechanisms.
