Abstract

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are involved in the regulation of many physiological processes by modulating the activity of transcription factors. However, the properties of the compounds to influence the pro - antioxidant processes in liver are poorly investigated. We aimed to study the changes in expression of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) with a strong prooxidant activity, and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), which is characterized by anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties, and evaluation of the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the liver of experimental animals under the action of omega-3 PUFAs. It was shown a significant increase in cytochrome P450 2E1 and heme oxygenase 1 expression in the liver of rats treated with the omega-3 PUFAs (per os, daily for 4 weeks). At the same time, there were no changes in the activity of antioxidant enzymes - superoxide dismutase and catalase. Probably an increase of the level of cytochrome P450 2E1 leads to induction of expression of enzymes with cytoprotective properties, such as heme oxygenase-1, by ROS-dependent activation of certain signaling pathways. Such CYP2E1-dependent activation of expression of HO-1 is one of the possible mechanisms of manifestation of antioxidant, antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 PUFAs.

Keywords: Cytochrome P450 2E1, omega-3 polyunsaturatedfatty acids, heme oxygenase-1, catalase, superoxide dismutase
