Phytochemical Name : Conjugated linoleic acid

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-1867
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Conjugated linoleic acid
PMID 26434699
Literature evidence CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis indicated that both dietary linoleic acid intake and serum linoleic acid level were associated with decreased risk of breast cancer, although none of the associations were statistically significant.
IUPAC name (9E,11E)-octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid
Phytochemicals’ class or type of plant extracts Polyunsaturated fatty acids
Source of phytochemicals or plant Extracts Agaricus bisporous,Momordica charantia
Geographical availability Europe and North America, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean
Plant parts NA
Other cancers Breast cancer, Bladder cancer, Liver cancer, Glioma, Prostate cancer, Colorectal cancer, Skin cancer
Target gene or protein LXR, PTPgamma, c-myc
Gene or Protein evidence Anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of the trans9, trans11 conjugated linoleic acid isomer on MCF-7 breast cancer cells - associated with LXR activation. The results indicate that dietary CLA might serve as a chemo-preventive and chemo-therapeutic agent in human breast cancers by up-regulating the estrogen-regulated tumor suppressor gene, PTPgamma expression. Inhibits expression of c-myc in MCF-7 cells
Target pathways ERK/MAPK pathway
IC50 NA
Potency Our results indicate that CLA can compete with PUFA and influence serum concentration of PUFA and their LOX metabolites, which could partly explain the anticancerogenic action of CLA.

Additional information  Exhibits inhibitory effect on the following cell lines: Breast MDA-MB-231, Breast MCF-7, Bladder SG652, Bladder 639V2, Glioblastoma ADF, Prostate PC3,  Prostate LNCaP, Hepatoma SK-HEP-1, Hepatoma HepG2 (IN VIVO, IN NUDE MICE) Induction of apoptosis strongly in SK-HEP-1 hepatoma cells, ADF glioblastoma cells and moderately in LNCaP and PC3 cells and MCF-7 cells.(IN VIVO, IN NUDE MICE) Induction of necrosis in ADF glioblastoma cells, and PC3, LNCaP cells (200µm dose) Causes positive or negative variations in PPARs - increase of PPARalpha protein in cells undergoing strong induction of apoptosis - SK-HEP-1 hepatoma cells, ADF glioblastoma cells, decrease in PPARbeta/delta protein in SK-HEP-1 hepatoma cells, ADF glioblastoma cells, PC3, MCF-7 cells. (IN VIVO, IN NUDE MICE) Decreases mcf-7 human breast cancer cell growth and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor levels Inhibits growth and [3H]thymidine incorporation of normal HMEC and MCF-7 cancer cells, CLA effects were mediated through lipoxygenase inhibition Induces apoptotic activity against estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells. Inhibtion of aromatase in MCF-7aro cell line Decreases both tumor cell proliferation and tumor weight with no effect on rate of apoptosis. (IN NUDE MICE injected with MCF-7aro cells) Weak antiproliferative activity and 5% to 10% apoptosis of MDA-wt and MDA-ERalpha7 cells Selectively inhibits proliferation of ER positive MCF-7 cells, cells remain in the G0/G1 phase Causes significant reductions in proliferation (18-100%) of M21-HPB- malignant melanoma, HT-29 - colorectal and MCF-7- breast cancer cells.
