Increasing levels of dietary corn oil have been correlated with inhibition of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-(TPA) promoted skin tumorigenesis in mice (Leyton et al. Cancer Res. 51, 907-915, 1991). This study was undertaken to assess the effects of dietary corn oil on several events associated with tumor promotion. Three semipurified diets containing 15% (wt/wt) total fat with increasing levels of linoleate (0.8%, 4.5%, and 8.4%) supplied by corn oil were fed to mice for at least four weeks. Although incorporation of linoleate into epidermal phosphatidylcholine increased with increasing amounts of dietary corn oil, the elongated desaturated product of linoleate, arachidonate, was similar or decreased slightly in mice fed the three diets. Minimal activity of delta 6-desaturase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of linoleate to arachidonic acid, was found in the epidermis compared with the liver, suggesting that linoleate is not converted to arachidonic acid in the skin. Subcellular distribution of protein kinase C was altered in mice fed 0.8% linoleate, where 69% of protein kinase C activity was in the cytosol compared with 78% and 74% for groups fed 4.5% and 8.4% linoleate, respectively. Activation of partially purified protein kinase C isolated from mouse epidermis by linoleate was significantly lower (p < 0.01) than that isolated by arachidonic acid. TPA-induced vascular permeability was significantly greater (p < 0.05), whereas hyperplasia 48 hours after TPA treatment was significantly lower, in mice fed the 8.4% linoleate diet. However, TPA induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity did not appear to be significantly modified by dietary linoleate. These data suggest that cellular processes associated with carcinogenesis are affected by the level of dietary linoleate.
