dc.description.abstractIn the present study, we evaluated omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUPA) (consisting of 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3) properties on inflammation and nociception. Among the in vivo tests, writhing, formalin, and hot plate tests were conducted in mice, and carrageenan-induced paw edema, peritonitis, and Hargreaves tests were performed in rats. Following the carrageenan-induced edema, immunohistochemistry for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was also carried out. We found that omega-3 PUPA treatment significantly decreased acetic acid-induced abdominal contortions as well as the first and second phases of the formalin test, which were reversed by naloxone. the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema was significantly reduced, along with neutrophil migration to the peritoneal cavity in the omega-3 PUPA treatment. in addition, there was a decrease in TNF-a immunostained cells in the inflamed paw with the omega-3 treatment compared with no omega-3. Withdrawal threshold in response to the thermal stimulation was significantly increased by the omega-3 treatment in the Hargreaves and hot plate tests. the in vitro studies (myeloperoxidase, lactate dehydrogenase, MTT cell viability and lipid peroxidation assays) were performed in human neutrophils. These studies showed that omega-3 treatment significantly decreased myeloperoxidase release, presented no cytotoxicity, and did not alter lipid peroxidation. Our study suggests that omega-3 PUPA anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive actions may involve inhibition of cyclooxygenases and microglial activation, leading to a reduced release of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, among other factors. the omega-3 PUFAs are potential candidates used alone or in combination with conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, for the treatment of diseases where inflammation plays an important role.
