| Abstract | Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) inhibit proliferation and induce differentiation in leukemia cells. To investigate the molecular mechanisms whereby fatty acids affect these processes, U937 leukemia cells were conditioned with stearic, oleic, linolenic, α-linolenic, arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids. PUFAs affected proliferation; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) was the most potent on cell cycle progression. EPA enhanced the expression of the myeloid lineage-specific transcription factors CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPβ and C/EBPδ), PU.1, and c-Jun, resulting in increased expression of the monocyte lineage-specific target gene, the macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor. Indeed, it is known that PU.1 and C/EBPs interact with their consensus sequences on a small DNA fragment of macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor promoter, which is a determinant for expression. We demonstrated that C/EBPβ and C/EBPδ bind the same response element as a heterodimer. We focused on the enhanced expression of C/EBPδ, which has been reported to be a tumor suppressor gene silenced by promoter hypermethylation in U937 cells. After U937 conditioning with EPA and bisulfite sequencing of the −370/−20 CpG island on the C/EBPδ promoter region, we found a site-specific CpG demethylation that was a determinant for the binding activity of Sp1, an essential factor for C/EBPδ gene basal expression. Our results provide evidence for a new role of PUFAs in the regulation of gene expression. Moreover, we demonstrated for the first time that re-expression of the tumor suppressor C/EBPδ is controlled by the methylation state of a site-specific CpG dinucleotide. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
