Studies were performed to further characterize the effects of saturated fatty acids on murine T lymphocyte proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to show that the inhibitory effects of stearic acid (18:0) on [3H]thymidine uptake can be correlated with changes in cellular DNA content. Additional studies using flow cytometry and fluorescein diacetate as a viability stain showed that exogenous 18:0 was toxic for phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated T cells, whereas the viability of unstimulated T cells was less affected by 18:0. The inhibitory effects of 18:0 on T cell proliferation were evident as early as 4 hr after fatty acid addition and after a 10-hr exposure, the effects of 18:0 could not be reversed by washing the cells or by adding oleic acid (18:1). It is proposed that the inhibitory effects of 18:0 are dependent upon PHA-induced changes in T cell lipid metabolism.
开展了多项研究以进一步明确饱和脂肪酸对小鼠T淋巴细胞增殖的影响。采用流式细胞术显示,硬脂酸(18:0)对[3H]胸腺嘧啶核苷摄取的抑制作用与细胞DNA含量的变化相关。使用流式细胞术和荧光素二乙酸酯作为活力染色剂的其他研究表明,外源性18:0对植物血凝素(PHA)刺激的T细胞有毒性,而未刺激的T细胞活力受18:0的影响较小。早在添加脂肪酸后4小时,18:0对T细胞增殖的抑制作用就很明显,在暴露10小时后,通过洗涤细胞或添加油酸(18:1)无法逆转18:0的作用。有人提出,18:0的抑制作用取决于PHA诱导的T细胞脂质代谢变化。
