Anti-inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Effects of Marine n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Human Health and Diseases

The pharmaceutical effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) as dietary nutrients on human health and diseases have gained much attention and are investigated for decades.Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA),eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) are the three major n-3 PUFAs enriched in marine organisms,such as fish,shrimp,algae,and so on.It has been well known that n-3 PUFAs,especially DHA and EPA,are beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.Accumulating evidence suggests that n-3 PUFAs might cure inflammatory diseases through several mechanisms,such as plasma membrane remodeling of lymphocytes,down-regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines,and altemating adhesion molecule expressions.Several molecular targets of n-3 PUFAs on immune-regulation have also been identified,such as GPR120 (FFA4),protein kinase C (PKC),and PPAR-γ.However,it remains inconclusive if dietary n-3 PUFAs function the same both in vitro and in vivo based on cohort studies.This review will focus on the molecular targets and mechanisms of anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of n-3 PUFAs on human health and diseases,such as obesity,tumor,diabetes,and autoimmune diseases.
