Oleic Acid Induces Tissue-Resident FOXP3 Regulatory T Cell Suppressive Functions (bulk RNA)
Comparing the transcriptomic program induced by oleic acid to that of the pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid, we find that Tregs sorted from peripheral blood and adipose of healthy donors transcriptomically resemble the oleic acid in vitro treated Tregs, whereas Tregs obtained from the adipose tissue of relapsing-remitting MS patients more closely resemble an arachidonic acid profile Overall design: Samples were collected from nine healthy subjects for identification of free fatty acid-induced signatures. For every subject, Tregs were subject to treatment with arachidonic acid (AA), oleic acid (OA), or none (controls).
