Oleic (OLA) and linoleic (LNA) acids are commonly consumed fatty acids and they can modulate the inflammatory response, in which macrophages play an important role. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of these two fatty acids on the production of inflammatory mediators by macrophages. Rats received oral administration of water (control), OLA or LNA (0.22 g/kg body weight) daily for 10 days and peritoneal resident macrophages were then isolated. Subsequently, they were seeded in culture plates and the production of various inflammatory mediators was assessed. Oral administration with OLA decreased the production of IL-1 beta, IL-6 and CINC-2 alpha beta by resident macrophages and LNA decreased the production of IL-1 beta, IL-6 and VEGF in the absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), although it accelerated IL-1 beta release and decreased IL-10 synthesis when cells were stimulated with LPS. Neither fatty acid affected the production of superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, nitrite, TNF-alpha, PGE(2), LTB4 or 15(S)-HETE. Thus, OLA and LNA influence the production of several inflammatory mediators by macrophages.

15-Lipoxygenase 2 (15-LOX2) is a recently cloned human lipoxygenase that shows tissue-restricted expression in prostate, lung, skin, and cornea. The protein level and enzymatic activity of 15-LOX2 have been shown to be down-regulated in prostate cancers compared with normal and benign prostate tissues. We report the cloning and functional characterization of 15-LOX2 and its three splice variants (termed 15-LOX2sv-a, 15-LOX2sv-b, and 15-LOX2sv-c) from primary prostate epithelial (NHP) cells. Western blotting with multiple NHP cell strains and prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines reveals that the expression of 15-LOX2 is lost in all PCa cell lines, accompanied by decreased enzymatic activity. 15-LOX2 is expressed at multiple subcellular locations, including cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cell-cell border, and nucleus. Surprisingly, the three splice variants of 15-LOX2 are mostly excluded from the nucleus. To elucidate the relationship between nuclear localization, enzymatic activity, and tumor suppressive functions, we established PCa cell clones stably expressing 15-LOX2 or 15-LOX2sv-b. The 15-LOX2 clones express 15-LOX2 in the nuclei and possess robust enzymatic activity, whereas 15-LOX2sv-b clones show neither nuclear protein localization nor arachidonic acid-metabolizing activity. Interestingly, both 15-LOX2- and 15-LOX2sv-b-stable clones proliferate much slower in vitro when compared with control clones. When orthotopically implanted in nude mouse prostate, both 15-LOX2 and 15-LOX2sv-b suppress PC3 tumor growth in vivo. Finally, cultured NHP cells lose the expression of putative stem/progenitor cell markers, slow down in proliferation, and enter senescence. Several pieces of evidence implicate 15-LOX2 plays a role in replicative senescence of NHP cells: (1) promoter activity and the mRNA and protein levels of 15-LOX2 and its splice variants are upregulated in serially passaged NHP cells, which precede replicative senescence and occur in a cell-autonomous manner; (2) PCa cells stably expressing 15-LOX2 or 15-LOX2sv-b show a passage-related senescence-like phenotype; (3) enforced expression of 15-LOX2 or 15-LOX2sv-b in young NHP cells induce partial cell-cycle arrest and senescence-like phenotypes. Together, these results suggest that 15-LOX2 suppress prostate tumor development and do not necessarily depend on arachidonic acid-metabolizing activity and nuclear localization. Also, 15-LOX2 may serve as an endogenous prostate senescence gene and its tumor-suppressing functions might be associated with its ability to induce cell senescence. ^

The Central gold belt of peninsular Malaysia comprises a number of gold deposits located in the east of the N-S striking Bentong-Raub Suture Zone. The Tersang gold deposit is one of the gold deposits in the gold belt and hosted in sandstone, rhyolite and breccia units. The deposit has an inferred resource of 528,000 ounces of gold. The geochronology of the Tersang deposit has been newly constrained by LA ICP-MS U-Pb zircon dating. The maximum depositional age of the host sedimentary rocks ranges from Early Carboniferous to Early Permian (261.5 ± 4.9 Ma to 333.5 ± 2.5 Ma) for the host sandstone and Late Triassic for the rhyolite intrusion (218.8 ± 1.7 Ma). Textural characteristics of pyrite have revealed five types including (1) Euhedral to subhedral pyrite with internal fracturing and porous cores located in the sandstone layers (pyrite 1); (2) Anhedral pyrite overgrowths on pyrite 1 and disseminated in stage 1 vein (pyrite 2); (3) Fracture-filled or vein pyrite located in stages 1 and 2 vein (pyrite 3); (4) Euhedral pyrite with internal fractures also located in stage 2 vein (pyrite 4); and (5) Subhedral clean pyrite located in the rhyolite intrusion (pyrite 5). Based on pyrite mapping and spot analyses, two main stages of gold enrichment are documented from the Tersang gold deposit. Gold in sandstone-hosted pyrite 1 (mean 4.3 ppm) shows best correlation with Bi and Pb (as evidenced on pyrite maps). In addition, gold in pyrite 3 (mean 8 ppm) located in stage 2 vein shows a good correlation with As, Ag, Sb, Cu, Tl, and Pb. In terms of gold exploration, we suggest that elements such as As, Ag, Sb, Cu, Tl, Bi, and Pb associated with Au may serve as vectoring tools in gold exploration. Our new geological, structural, geochemical and isotopic data together with mineral paragenesis, pyrite chemistry and ore fluid characteristics indicate that the Tersang gold deposit is comparable to a sediment-hosted gold deposit. Our new genetic model suggests deposition of the Permo-Carboniferous sediments followed by intrusion of rhyolitic magma in the Late Triassic. At a later stage, gold mineralisation overprinted the rhyolite intrusion and the sandstone.
