Figure Lengend Snippet: The APC function and resulting anticancer immunity of B cells can be enhanced by oleic acid (OA) via reprogramming FA metabolism in vitro. A Mean fluorescence intensity of CD80 and MHC Class II molecules in CD19 + B cells from peripheral blood of healthy volunteers (n = 3) treated with OA and PA (both 150 μM), respectively. B Mean fluorescence intensity of CD80, CD86, CD83, MHC Class II molecules, and Ki67 in splenic CD19 + B cells of WT mice treated with 150 μM OA. C Mean fluorescence intensity of CD80, CD86, CD83, and MHC Class II molecules in ascitic CD19 + B cells from 3 w OvCa-bearing mice when treated with 150 μM OA. D Analysis of FA metabolism-related signaling pathways based on RNA-seq results. GSEA was used to analysised the FA metabolic pathways. E Comparison of mRNA levels of main FA metabolic genes in ascitic B cells from 3 w tumor-bearing mice when treated with 150 μM OA. The relative expression of each gene was calculated using β -actin as the internal reference. F Experimental scheme to detect the influence of inhibiting OA uptake on ascitic B cells. G Comparison of protein expressions of main FA metabolic molecules in 3 w OvCa-bearing mouse ascitic B cells pretreated with BMS and treated with OA. β -Actin was used as the internal control to calculate the relative expression level of the main FA metabolic molecules. H Mean fluorescence intensity of Bodipy C16 in 3 w OvCa-bearing mouse ascitic B cells pretreated with BMS and treated with OA was detected by flow cytometry. I The expression of A-CoA, ATP and the FAO activity in 3 w OvCa-bearing mouse ascitic B cells pretreated with BMS treated with OA was detected by ELISA. J Mean fluorescence intensity of intracellular oxidized lipid in 3 w OvCa-bearing mouse ascitic B cells pretreated with BMS and treated with OA was detected by flow cytometry. K Mean fluorescence intensity of CD80, CD86, and CD83 in 3 w OvCa-bearing mouse ascitic CD19 + B cells pretreated with BMS and treated with OA was detected by flow cytometry. L Mean fluorescence intensity of Bodipy C16, CD80, CD86 and CD83 in FABP4-knockdown CD19 + B cells, which are from the ascites of 3 w OvCa-bearing mice, treated with OA, was detected by flow cytometry. PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cell; SP, spleen; AS, Ascites; OA, oleic acid; PA, palmitic acid; BMS, BMS309403. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, ns, not significant
Article Snippet: In the mechanistic study, mouse ascitic CD19 + B cells (1 × 10 6 /ml) were pretreated with fatty acid binding protein 4 gene (FABP4) inhibitor (BMS309403, MedChemExpress; Cat# HY-101903; 50 μM), PPARγ antagonist (GW9662, MedChemExpress; Cat# HY-16578; 25 μM), and PPAR γ agonist (Troglitazone, Trog, MedChemExpress; Cat# HY-50935; 10 μM) for 2h, respectively.
