title: Antiproliferative effects of conjugated linoleic acid on human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2.
abstract: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) reduces body fat reserves, and reduces atherogenesis and type II diabetes in animal experiments. It has been reported that CLA have isomeric-specificity, such as c9, t11 CLA with anticancer activity. The antiproliferative effects of two isomers of CLA (c9, t11-CLA, t9, t11-CLA) and their mixture on the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 were investigated in this paper. Caco-2 were incubated in serum-free medium. The antiproliferative effects of different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 micromol/L) of linoleic acid (LA), c9, t11-CLA, t9, t11-CLA (the purity of LA and CLA was 96%) and a mixture of c9, t11-CLA and t9, t11- CLA (1:1 v/v) on caco-2 in various action time (1d, 2d, 3d, 4d) were tested in the present study. The antiproliferative effects of four substances in the same concentration and with the same action time were compared. All substances tested could inhibit Caco-2 cell proliferation. The higher anti-proliferation activity in the four materials is the mixture of CLA, then is t9,t11-CLA, c9,t11-CLA, and linoleic acid respectively. The activity is closely related to treatment time and concentration. The isomer t9, t11-CLA itself was found to have antiproliferative activity.
