Abstract
The effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs: docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) acids) on induced lymphocyte proliferation and expression of CD25alpha chain of interleukin-2 receptor, CD71 and HLA-DR were investigated. PUFAs had no effect on phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-induced lymphocyte agglutination, but they strongly inhibited the lymphoproliferative response to PHA. This inhibitory effect is PUFA dose-dependent and seems to be more potent with DHA than EPA, Pre-incubation experiments showed that lymphocytes cultured with PUFAs for 6 h then washed and exposed to PHA, still inhibited lymphocyte proliferation. The authors also showed that this inhibitory activity was time dependent but became nonsignificant when PUFAs were added after 48 h lymphocyte culture. The addition of excess exogenous human recombinant rIL-2 partly restored PHA-lymphocyte proliferation inhibited by EPA but not by DHA. On the other hand, the authors showed that PUFAS did not inhibit IL-2 stimulated lymphocyte proliferation. The addition of PUFAs to cell culture medium had no inhibitory action on the PHA-induced lymphocyte expression of CD25, CD71 and HLA-DR. Furthermore, this effect appeared independent of eicosanoid synthesis or peroxi...Continue Reading
