Inhibition of lymphocyte capping by fatty acids in mouse and man. 1982

Lipid-enriched diets have been related to a high cancer incidence in experimental animals for many years, and more recently, to assorted defects on the immune response. We investigated the effect of incubating human or murine (C3H/HEJ) lymphocytes with saturated (16:0) and unsaturated (18:1, 18:2, 18:3, 20:4) fatty acids (12 micrograms for each 10(7) cells), on the ability to cap with antihuman or antimouse anti-IgM, mu-chain specific antibody. Capping was also tested in obese (ob/ob, C57BL/6J) mice. Capping at 30 and 60 min was reduced by fatty acid incubation to 10-30% of control values in humans (p less than .001), and to 30% of control values in mice (p less than .01), regardless of degree of unsaturation. ob/ob capped normally. A lymphocyte membrane effect caused by fatty acids is observed in these experiments. Whether this is related to the dysimmunity caused by lipid diets cannot be assessed from our data, especially since all fatty acids, regardless of unsaturation, reduced the capping phenomenon.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008815 Mice, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations, or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. All animals within an inbred strain trace back to a common ancestor in the twentieth generation.

D008820 Mice, Obese Mutant mice exhibiting a marked obesity coupled with overeating, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, marked insulin resistance, and infertility when in a homozygous state. They may be inbred or hybrid. Hyperglycemic Mice,Obese Mice,Mouse, Hyperglycemic,Mouse, Obese,Hyperglycemic Mouse,Mice, Hyperglycemic,Obese Mouse

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species. Species Specificities,Specificities, Species,Specificity, Species
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
