Abstract
Diethylnitrosamine-treated male mice were assigned to 4 groups: a casein-based 35% high fat ethanol liquid diet (EtOH), an EtOH diet made with soy protein isolate protein (EtOH/SOY), an EtOH liquid diet supplemented with genistein (EtOH/GEN) and a chow group. EtOH feeding, final concentration 5% (v/v), continued for 16 wks. EtOH increased incidence and multiplicity of basophilic lesions and adenomas compared to the chow group, (p < 0.05). The EtOH/SOY group had reduced adenoma progression when compared to the EtOH and EtOH/GEN group, (p < 0.05). Genistein supplementation had no protective effect. Soy feeding significantly reduced serum ALT concentrations (p < 0.05), decreased hepatic TNFα and CD-14 expression and decreased nuclear accumulation of NFκB protein in EtOH/SOY-treated mice compared to the EtOH group (p < 0.05). With respect to ceramides, high resolution MALDI-FTICR Imaging mass spectrometry revealed changes in the accumulation of long acyl chain ceramide species, in particular C18, in the EtOH group when compared to the EtOH/SOY group. Additionally, expression of acid ceramidase and sphingosine kinase 1 which degrade ceramide into sphingosine and convert sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) respectively and expression of S1P receptors S1PR2 and S1PR3 were all upregulated by EtOH and suppressed in the EtOH/SOY group, p < 0.05. EtOH feeding also increased hepatocyte proliferation and mRNA expression of β-catenin targets, including cyclin D1, MMP7 and glutamine synthase, which were reduced in the EtOH/SOY group, p < 0.05. These findings suggest that soy prevents tumorigenesis by reducing inflammation and by reducing hepatocyte proliferation through inhibition of EtOH-mediated β-catenin signaling. These mechanisms may involve blockade of sphingolipid signaling.
