Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in particular, have been found to produce both vaso- and cardio-protective response via modulation of membrane phospholipids thereby improving cardiac mitochondrial functions and energy production. However, antioxidant properties of n-3 PUFAs, along with their anti-inflammatory effect in both blood vessels and cardiac cells, seem to exert beneficial effects in cardiovascular impairment. In fact, dietary supplementation with n-3 PUFAs has been demonstrated to reduce oxidative stress-related mitochondrial dysfunction and endothelial cell apoptosis, an effect occurring via an increased activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. On the other hand, n-3 PUFAs have been shown to counteract the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in both vascular tissues and in the myocardium, thereby restoring vascular reactivity and myocardial performance.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in particular, have been found to produce both vaso- and cardio-protective response via modulation of membrane phospholipids thereby improving cardiac mitochondrial functions and energy production. However, antioxidant properties of n-3 PUFAs, along with their anti-inflammatory effect in both blood vessels and cardiac cells, seem to exert beneficial effects in cardiovascular impairment. In fact, dietary supplementation with n-3 PUFAs has been demonstrated to reduce oxidative stress-related mitochondrial dysfunction and endothelial cell apoptosis, an effect occurring via an increased activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. On the other hand, n-3 PUFAs have been shown to counteract the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in both vascular tissues and in the myocardium, thereby restoring vascular reactivity and myocardial performance. Here we summarize the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of n-3 PUFAs in vascular and cardiac tissues and their implication in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.</div> </section> <div id="html-keywords"> <div class="html-gwd-group"><div id="html-keywords-title">Keywords: </div><a href="/search?q=n-3+PUFAs">n-3 PUFAs</a>; <a href="/search?q=oxidative+stress">oxidative stress</a>; <a href="/search?q=endogenous+antioxidants">endogenous antioxidants</a>; <a href="/search?q=anti-inflammatory+response">anti-inflammatory response</a>; <a href="/search?q=cardiovascular+diseases">cardiovascular diseases</a></div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </p> </div> </section> </div> <div class="hypothesis_container"> <ul class="menu html-nav" data-prev-node="#html-quick-links-title"> </ul> <div class="html-body"> <section id='sec1-biomedicines-08-00306' type='intro'><h2 data-nested='1'> 1.

In particular, the efficacy of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the treatment of various pathologies and, especially, of cardiovascular diseases is known since long time and a large body of clinical data on their protective effect has been collected over the last decades [<a href="#B5-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">5</a>,<a href="#B6-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">6</a>,<a href="#B7-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">7</a>,<a href="#B8-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">8</a>], though several pathophysiological implications on their use still remain unclear [<a href="#B9-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">9</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Humans and other mammals are not able to synthesize [<a href="#B10-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">10</a>]. Therefore, linoleic acid (LA, 18:2, omega-6) and α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3, omega-3), denoted as essential fatty acids, must be included in the diet. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 n-3) are members of n-3 PUFAs subfamily of PUFAs being obtained from the precursor ALA or dietary fish oils; ALA, in turn, can also be found in nuts and leafy vegetables. For the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a higher consumption of n-3 PUFAs is recommended. Indeed, many studies have shown that an increase in consumption of n-3 PUFAs leads to a decrease in cases of cardiovascular disease. In particular, it has been reported that eating fatty fish a few times a week halves coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths and reduces the probability of death from a heart attack by one third [<a href="#B11-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">11</a>,<a href="#B12-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">12</a>,<a href="#B13-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">13</a>,<a href="#B14-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">14</a>]. The beneficial effects of n-3 PUFAs are due to a set of various mechanisms of action. Indeed, they have an antiarrhythmic and antithrombotic action, reduce plasma triglyceride levels and resolve inflammatory states, regulate the expression of several genes and transcription factors, and act on membrane fluidity [<a href="#B15-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">15</a>,<a href="#B16-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">16</a>]. In many pathologies, free radicals (such as peroxynitrite) increase proinflammatory cytokines synthesis, regulate the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway, and promote proinflammatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE<sub>2</sub>) synthesis [<a href="#B17-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">17</a>]. In the treatment of these diseases, n-3 PUFAs fatty acids (ω-3) have the same effects as many antioxidants, in fact, they protect endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes from damage and cell death [<a href="#B18-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">18</a>]. In addition to the collected evidence, demonstrating the beneficial responses of dietary n-3 PUFAs supplementation on the cardiovascular system, some concerns have been expressed about their potential detrimental effects in different tissues due to their potential pro-oxidant effect [<a href="#B19-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">19</a>]. In particular, oxidative stress and n-3 PUFAs are strongly correlated. Long- or very long-chain fatty acids have many “fragile” double bonds between carbon atoms. Therefore, the n-3 PUFAs undergo lipid peroxidation during oxidative stress, generating highly cytotoxic reactive products [<a href="#B20-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">20</a>]. This is particularly dangerous in the central nervous system (CNS) [<a href="#B21-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">21</a>]. In particular, it is not clear whether or not exogenously given PUFAs have a safety profile which would allow for their extensive use in the general population. Based on these concerns, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) expressed its opinion and claimed that, for any population group, there is not enough data to establish a tolerable upper intake level for n-3 LC PUFA (DHA, EPA and Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), individually or combined). Indeed, for the adult population, the supplemental intakes of EPA and DHA combined at doses up to 5 g/day, and additional intakes of EPA alone up to 1.8 g/day, do not raise safety concerns. Furthermore, for the general population, the supplemental intakes of DHA alone up to 1 g/day do not raise safety concerns [<a href="#B22-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">22</a>]. </div><div class='html-p'>In this review, we summarize some of the recent advances regarding the potential antioxidant effects of n-3 PUFAs supplementation on the cardiovascular system along with their anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effect in vitro and in vivo.</div></section><section id='sec2-biomedicines-08-00306' type=''><h2 data-nested='1'> 2.

Mitochondrial membranes of eukaryotic cells have a high DHA content indicating that DHA is a fundamental phospholipid for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation. In mitochondria, DHA acts on many pathways; reducing oxidative stress and cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV) activity as well as increasing manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) activity. Rats fed a high fish oil diet demonstrate a higher expression and activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) and an inhibition of membrane peroxidation process as expressed by the reduced content of thio-barbituric acid (TBARS) products. The action of oxidized n-3 PUFAs is directed against Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), the negative regulator of the nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2). Dissociation of Keap1 from Cullin3 induces Nrf2-dependent antioxidant gene expression [<a href="#B26-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">26</a>]. Additional antioxidant action of n-3 PUFAs reduces myocytes sensitivity to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury and increases SOD and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) levels. Hypoxia condition decreases oxidative markers and increases antioxidant enzymes expression, whereas oxidized n-3 PUFAs act on sirtuin1 (SIRT1) and forkhead box (FOXO) protein, thereby increasing SOD levels. Furthermore, in human and rat studies, EPA and DHA determined F2-isoprostane reduction, an oxidative stress marker in urine [<a href="#B27-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">27</a>,<a href="#B28-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">28</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Thus, n-3 PUFAs supplementation leads to substantial antioxidant response, an effect that occurs mainly via restoring imbalanced endogenous antioxidant moieties.</div></section><section id='sec2dot2-biomedicines-08-00306' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 2.2.

Numerous in vivo studies attest to the cardioprotective role of specialized pro-resolving mediators. Resolvin E series, such as RvE1, are synthesized from eicosapentaenoic acid and resolve acute inflammation states as they switch off leukocyte trafficking, favour the clearance of inflammatory cells and debris as well as inhibit cytokine synthesis [<a href="#B50-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">50</a>,<a href="#B51-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">51</a>,<a href="#B52-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">52</a>,<a href="#B53-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">53</a>].

It has been shown that n-3 PUFAs have positive effects on numerous molecular and physiological pathways characteristic of the disease as they regulate arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction and therefore prevent atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases [<a href="#B59-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">59</a>,<a href="#B60-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">60</a>]. In vivo studies on mice have shown that n-3 PUFAs fatty acids inhibit atherogenesis as they reduce the lipid deposition in the arterial layers, thus inhibiting the Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) uptake, favouring their removal from the aortic media and inhibiting the lipoprotein lipases synthesis [<a href="#B61-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">61</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>A diet rich in ω-3 decreases the macrophages and pro-inflammatory markers favouring anti-atherogenic activity [<a href="#B62-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">62</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Furthermore, studies conducted in cell lines treated with EPA and DHA have shown a reduction in the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells when ω-3 are inserted into membrane phospholipids thereby slowing the progression of cell cycle [<a href="#B63-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">63</a>,<a href="#B64-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">64</a>].

A further beneficial effect of n-3 PUFAs intake on wall stiffness is blood pressure reduction. In vivo and clinical studies have documented that a high heart rate, directly related to the progression of arterial stiffness, increases the risk of cardiovascular events. In fact, intake of n-3 PUFAs decreases heart rate and promotes recovery after physical activity. It is also thought that the heart rate reduction is determined by direct effects on cardiac electrophysiology [<a href="#B64-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">64</a>].

In patients with stable coronary artery disease, n-3 PUFAs may be added to pharmacological and interventional therapy as they improve adipokine plasma levels. In particular, the plasma levels of adiponectin are enhanced while those of leptin are reduced after 1-month of ω-3 administration. This is especially important in patients with coronary artery disease and many risk factors, because the statins used in pharmacological treatment could influence adipokines plasma levels [<a href="#B22-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">22</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>It was suggested that in white adipose tissue (WAT) n-3 PUFAs modulates the release of adipokine and cytokines.

Both of these actions determines a reduction in adenosine diphosphate induction of platelet aggregation, coagulation and thrombosis, and a decrease of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6). Overall, these effects lead to higher plaque stability increasing thicker fibrous cap, reducing oxidized LDL uptake, migration of vascular smooth muscle cells, lesional oxidative stress and necrosis, reducing atherosclerotic lesions progression and vascular inflammation [<a href="#B71-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">71</a>]. </div><div class='html-p'>The actions on atherosclerotic plaque was observed in an animal model of hyperlipidemia where pre-treatment with EPA reduced lipid deposition, macrophage adhesion, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and MCP-1 on endothelial cells and increase content of collagen and smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic lesions [<a href="#B72-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">72</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Further, in a model of diet induced atherosclerosis, in ApoE * 3Leiden transgenic mouse, the endogenous oxidation product of the n-3 PUFA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), RvE1, was administered alone or in combination with atorvastatin for 16 weeks, showing a reduction of atherosclerotic lesions in both type of treatment, more pronounced in co-treatment.

In fact, numerous clinical studies report the anti-hypertensive and anti-hyperlipidemic action of n-3 PUFAs [<a href="#B91-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">91</a>,<a href="#B92-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">92</a>,<a href="#B93-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">93</a>,<a href="#B94-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">94</a>,<a href="#B95-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">95</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>They reduce hyperlipidemia because they control gene expression, simultaneously inhibiting lipogenesis and activating lipolysis, and increasing fatty acid β-oxidation. n-3 PUFA therapy has shown promising results in primary and in secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases [<a href="#B11-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">11</a>,<a href="#B42-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">42</a>,<a href="#B57-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">57</a>,<a href="#B87-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">87</a>].</div><section id='sec4dot1-biomedicines-08-00306' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 4.1. The Effects of n-3 PUFAs in Myocardial Ischemia and Reperfusion</h4><div class='html-p'>Many studies show that the heart undergoes oxidative stress following myocardial I/R [<a href="#B96-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">96</a>,<a href="#B97-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">97</a>]. This condition increases ROS synthesis, while at the same time decreasing antioxidant synthesis, thus generating the oxidation of biomolecules and consequent cellular damage [<a href="#B98-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">98</a>]. Increased intake of EPA and DHA changes the fatty acid content of myocardial membrane phospholipids providing a higher percentage of DHA and an increase in peroxidisability index values. Nevertheless, there is a reduction in oxidative damage following I/R. In fact, in the I/R condition and greater DHA availability, documentation shows both an increase in myocardial peroxidation with greater basal fatty acid peroxidation and a greater chronic activity of endogenous antioxidant enzyme Mn-SOD together with a decrease in lipid oxidation due to I/R and consequent reduction of heart attack cases. Therefore, during ischemic preconditioning (IPC), ROS have a dual function; generating cellular damage and activating protective signalling processes at the same time. In this context, EPA and DHA intake is linked to both reduction in the ROS levels through lipid peroxidation and increased endogenous antioxidants availability. ROS and endogenous antioxidants are considered, respectively, triggers and mediators of delayed phase ischemic preconditioning. Therefore, the addition of fish oil in the diet is fundamental for the role of n-3 PUFAs in the form of the delayed phase IPC and also because a constant intake of n-3 PUFAs inserted into the membrane phospholipids guarantees constant resistance to damage caused by I/R. For this reason, ischemic protection by n-3 PUFAs is called “nutritional preconditioning” [<a href="#B44-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">44</a>,<a href="#B99-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">99</a>]. In the heart, n-3 PUFAs act mainly at the mitochondrial level, in fact, they increase the expression of the mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme Mn-SOD; leaving the expression of the other antioxidants such as copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) and GSx unchanged. Experiments conducted in vivo on mice show that increased Mn-SOD activity resulted in sustained cardioprotection due to heat stress and in the delayed window of ischemic preconditioning. Instead, in the heart, increased expression of Mn-SOD reduces frequency, improves efficiency of oxygen consumption, and ameliorates contractile function. These properties are common to fish oil when taken as a dietary source. In addition, research conducted in rats shows that some fish oil properties, such as lower oxygen consumption in the heart, less sensitivity to I/R damage, and arrhythmias, are due to changes in mitochondrial Ca<sup>2+</sup>. In order for the n-3 PUFAs to carry out their cardioprotective action, they must enter and remain in the myocardium constantly for at least seven days, while their action can last for months, thanks to their lasting insertion in the membrane [<a href="#B28-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">28</a>,<a href="#B44-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">44</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>It has been shown, therefore, that the presence of fish oil in the diet increases the percentage of n-3 PUFAs content in the myocardium membrane, thus increasing the basal peroxidation of cellular fatty acids and consequently increasing Mn-SOD activity. In hearts subjected to acute regional I/R, there is a reduction in stimulated lipid oxidation and myocardial damage. The constant physiological stress generated by this intake, called “oxidative shielding”, if also generated by minimum and regular fish oil doses, could confirm its cardioprotective effect [<a href="#B44-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">44</a>]. Beneficial effects result in a reduction in myocardial oxygen consumption and heart rate, with an increase in coronary reserve. Consequently, n-3 PUFAs generates protective preconditioning effects on the damage caused by I/R; thereby improving post-ischemic recovery [<a href="#B28-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">28</a>]. In addition to EPA and DHA, alpha linolenic acid (ALA), present in plant foods, can also have cardioprotective effects, particularly during an ischemic attack. This statement derives from data obtained in experiments conducted on cardiomyocytes isolated from adult rats. Cultured cardiomyocytes were pre-treated with ALA for 24 h and subsequently subjected to three different conditions; a group of control cells exposed to non-ischemic conditions, a group exposed to simulated ischemia (ISCH) and another to simulated I/R. It has been shown that in pretreated cardiomyocytes, ALA is incorporated into phosphatidylcholine, thus generating a protective effect on cardiomyocytes subjected to ischemia or I/R. It is likely that ALA has this effect by inhibiting DNA fragmentation during the apoptotic process. Furthermore, ALA inhibits the synthesis of two pro-apoptotic oxidized phosphatidylcholine (OxPC) species that increase significantly during ischemia and I/R, thus resulting in the impairment of apoptosis [<a href="#B7-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">7</a>].</div></section><section id='sec4dot2-biomedicines-08-00306' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 4.2. The Potential for n-3 PUFAs Supplementation in Heart Failure</h4><div class='html-p'>In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted concerning the heterogeneous and complex syndrome known as heart failure (HF). In particular, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) were defined [<a href="#B100-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">100</a>,<a href="#B101-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">101</a>,<a href="#B102-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">102</a>,<a href="#B103-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">103</a>]. The majority of the population is affected by heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, prevalent in the ageing population. Moreover, the common therapies for heart failure are ineffective in cases of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Numerous clinical studies document the lower rates of mortality and hospitalization for CHD associated with higher blood levels of n-3 PUFAs fatty acids. Many meta-analyses confirm these data indicating that the risk of CHD and consequently that of sudden death are reduced in the presence of n-3 PUFAs [<a href="#B87-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">87</a>,<a href="#B104-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">104</a>]. In literature, few studies are reported regarding the effect of n-3 PUFAs on heart failure in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, no animal model is able to reproduce the phenotypic change and the complex pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Therefore, a surgical model of after load induced heart failure, defined as transverse aortic constriction (TAC), has been recreated, which causes some effects of remodelling heart failure with preserved ejection fraction such as: hypertrophy, interstitial cardiac fibrosis, and diastolic dysfunction. In this TAC model, it has been proved that a diet rich in n-3 PUFAs prevents the interstitial fibrosis onset and diastolic heart dysfunction. Furthermore, a direct effect of n-3 PUFAs on cardiac fibroblasts has been reported which prevents the onset of fibrosis. Such evidence suggests that a diet rich in n-3 PUFAs may represent a new therapy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [<a href="#B105-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">105</a>] Important data indicate that EPA prevents fibrosis by a particular mechanism of action, in fact, it does not accumulate in cardiac myocytes or in fibroblasts. Furthermore, the FFA receptor 4 (FFAR4), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) for long chain fatty acids such as EPA and DHA, has proven effective in the prevention of fibrotic signalling in adult cardiac fibroblasts cultures. Studies to define the link between the FFA4 receptor and the n-3 PUFAs were conducted on FFAR4 knockout mice, indicating that in macrophages these fatty acids activate the receptor-mediated anti-inflammatory signalling. Recently, a meta-analysis reported that in the blood of patients treated with a fixed dose of EPA + DHA significantly different levels of these fatty acids were recorded and, moreover, higher values of these were correlated with a lower incidence of CHD risk [<a href="#B8-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">8</a>,<a href="#B105-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">105</a>,<a href="#B106-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">106</a>]. DHA may have a particular cardioprotective role in heart failure conditions caused by pressure overload. These properties are linked to the ease with which DHA is inserted into cardiac fibroblasts and myocytes membranes, modifying their elasticity, fluidity, ion permeability, phase behaviour, fusion, and protein function. Furthermore, DHA inhibits the opening of the mitochondrial transition pores as reported in data obtained in the transverse aortic constriction surgical model. When DHA and EPA are present in the diet together, lower levels of EPA are needed to have the same decrease in fibrosis, indicating that DHA could potentiate the effect of EPA on fibrosis inhibition [<a href="#B105-biomedicines-08-00306" class="html-bibr">105</a>].</div></section></section><section id='sec5-biomedicines-08-00306' type=''><h2 data-nested='1'> 5.
