omega -3 Fatty acid (FA) emulsions reduce LPS-stimulated murine macrophage TNF-alpha production, but the exact mechanism has yet to be defined. The purpose of this study was to determine the mechanism for omega -3 FA inhibition of macrophage TNF-alpha production following LPS stimulation. RAW 264.7 cells were pretreated with isocaloric emulsions of omega -3 FA (Omegaven), omega -6 FA (Lipovenos), or DMEM and subsequently exposed to LPS. Ikappa B-alpha and phospho-Ikappa B-alpha were determined by Western blotting. NF-kappa B binding was assessed using the electromobility shift assay, and activity was measured using a luciferase reporter vector. RT-PCR and ELISA quantified TNF-alpha mRNA and protein levels, respectively. Pretreatment with omega -3 FA inhibited Ikappa B phosphorylation and significantly decreased NF-kappa B activity. Moreover, omega -3-treated cells demonstrated significant decreases in both TNF-alpha mRNA and protein expression by 47 and 46%, respectively. These experiments demonstrate that a mechanism for proinflammatory cytokine inhibition in murine macrophages by omega -3 FA is mediated, in part, through inactivation of the NF-kappa B signal transduction pathway secondary to inhibition of Ikappa B phosphorylation.
