Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Involving Δ8 Desaturation and Differential DNA Methylation of FADS2 Regulates Proliferation of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Abstract: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important for immune function. Limited evidence indicates that immune cell activation involves endogenous PUFA synthesis, but this has not been characterised. To address this, we measured metabolism of 18:3n-3 in quiescent and activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and in Jurkat T cell leukaemia. PBMCs from men and women (n = 34) were incubated with [1-13C]18:3n-3 with or without Concanavalin A (Con. A). 18:3n-3 conversion was undetectable in unstimulated … Show more

“…Elongase (ELOVL) 2, which catalyses conversion of 22:5 n ‐3 to 24:5 n ‐3, which precedes 22:6 n ‐3 synthesis, was not detected (Sibbons et al . ). This is consistent with the lack of detectable enrichment of 22:6 n ‐3 in stimulated cells and suggests truncation of the pathway after 22:5 n ‐3.…”

“…The findings also showed for the first time that treatment with SC26196 decreased both the proportion of lymphocytes that underwent division and the mean number of cell divisions of the original cell population by approximately 10% each (Sibbons et al . ). The partial reduction in proliferation is consistent with the partial inhibition of PUFA synthesis.…”
