Dietary Early Glycation Products Promote the Growth of Prostate Tumors More than Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) Through Modulation of Macrophage Polarization.
Molecular Nutrition & Food Research 2018 December 5
SCOPE: Glycation products are ubiquitous in food at high concentrations in the Western diet. The well-controlled glycation resulting in the production of early glycation products (EGPs) has been proposed as a strategy to improve the physicochemical properties of food proteins. However, the health effects of EGPs are unknown. It has been shown that the Western diet (glycation prone) is associated with a higher mortality in prostate cancer (PCa) patients than the prudent diet; therefore, we have investigated the role of EGPs in prostate tumorigenesis.
METHODS AND RESULTS: C57BL/6 male mice were treated with the vehicle (water), non-reacted samples, EGPs and AGEs by gavage. EGPs (600 mg/kg/day) promoted the growth of subcutaneously transplanted TRAMP-C2 PCa cells the most among these groups. Significantly, increases in the circulation monocytes and tumor-associated M2 macrophages were observed in EGP-treated mice, and the M2/M1 ratio was also increased in the EGP group when compared to that of water and AGEs. In the human PCa cell and macrophage co-cultures, EGPs increased the spheroid size, and importantly, macrophages were also polarized toward M2.
CONCLUSIONS: EGPs induced the proliferation of PCa cells either directly or by assisting PCa cells to polarize macrophages toward M2. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
