Abstract/OtherAbstract:

The proliferation of concanavalin A (Con A)-stimulated rat lymphocytes was markedly inhibited by phosphatidylcholine containing arachidonic and stearic acids (PC(A-S)), but not by phosphatidylcholine containing oleic and stearic acids or phosphatidylinositol containing arachidonic and stearic acids. The concentration of PC(A-S) which inhibited Con A-stimulated proliferation by 50% was 31 microM and near total inhibition was observed at 154 microM . Phosphatidylserine containing only oleic acid enhanced proliferation by 37% at a concentration of 31 microM , but phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine containing only oleic acid did not affect proliferation at this concentration. It is concluded that both the head group and the fatty acid composition contribute to the influence of phospholipids on lymphocyte proliferation. The effects of PC(A-S) on T-lymphocyte responses were investigated further. In parallel with the inhibition of proliferation PC(A-S) caused a concentration-dependent decrease in the production of the Th1-type cytokines interleukin (IL)-2 and interferon (IFN)-gamma; inhibition of cytokine production was >85% at the highest concentration of PC(A-S) used (154 microM ). Production of the Th2-type cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 was not affected. The possible role of prostaglandins in mediating the effects of PC(A-S) was examined by adding indomethacin into the medium and the participation of lipid peroxidation was examined by adding vitamin E and vitamin C. Indomethacin and vitamin E did not affect the inhibition caused by PC(A-S) but vitamin C caused a partial reversal. It is concluded that inhibition of T-lymphocyte proliferation by phospholipids involves both the head group and the fatty acyl chains, that this inhibition is not mediated by prostaglandins but may involve some form of oxidant stress and that some phospholipids (e.g., PC(A-S)) can markedly influence cytokine profiles. |
