Abstract

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with inflammation and oxidative stress, the latter of which contributes to activation of macrophages, a prominent cell type in AAA. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) have been reported to limit oxidative stress in animal models of AAA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the n-3 PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on antioxidant defence in macrophages from patients with AAA. Cells were obtained from men with small AAA (diameter 3.0-4.5 cm, 75±6 yr, n= 19) and age- matched male controls (72±5 yr, n= 41) and incubated with DHA for 1 h before exposure to 0.1 µg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h. DHA supplementation decreased the concentration of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α; control, 42.1±13.6 to 5.1±2.1 pg/ml, p < 0.01; AAA, 25.2±9.8 to 1.9±0.9 pg/ml, p < 0.01) and interleukin-6 (IL-6; control, 44.9±7.7 to 5.9±2.0 pg/ml, p < 0.001; AAA, 24.3±5.2 to 0.5±0.3 pg/ml, p < 0.001) in macrophage supernatants. DHA increased glutathione peroxidase activity (control, 3.2±0.3 to 4.1±0.2 nmol/min/ml/μg protein, p = 0.004; AAA, 2.3±0.5 to 3.4±0.5 nmol/min/ml/μg protein, p = 0.008) and heme oxygenase-1 mRNA expression (control, 1.5-fold increase, p < 0.001). The improvements in macrophage oxidative stress status serve as a stimulus for further investigation of DHA in patients with AAA.
