The aim of this study was to examine whether tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha expression in the phagocytic activity of RAW macrophages by trans10-cis12 (10t-12c) conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is associated with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) activation. 10t-12c CLA induced the TNF-alpha expression in RAW macrophages. Phagocytic activity of naive RAW macrophages was increased either by recombinant mouse (rm) TNF-alpha or by culture supernatant from 10t-12c CLA-treated RAW macrophages. This phagocytic activity was inhibited by addition of anti-rmTNF-alpha polyclonal antibody (pAb). 10t-12c CLA also increased the level of PPARgamma protein and mRNA in RAW macrophages. When naive RAW macrophages were incubated with the culture supernatant from RAW macrophages treated with 10t-12c CLA plus GW 9662, a PPARgamma antagonist, their phagocytic activity was significantly inhibited. In addition, GW 9662 antagonized the effect of 10t-12c CLA in stimulating TNF-alpha expression. These results suggest that 10t-12c CLA modulates the phagocytic activity of RAW macrophages by upregulating TNF-alpha expression via a PPARgamma-dependent pathway.
