    摘要:

    目的:探究卵巢癌(ovarian cancer,OV)浸润性CD4+ 调节性T细胞(regulatory T cell,Treg)的脂质摄取与积累情况,及其与CD4+ Treg中程序性细胞死亡蛋白1(programmed cell death protein 1,PD-1)和细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关蛋白-4(cytotoxic T- lymphocyte associated protein 4,CTLA-4)表达的相关性。方法:采用亲脂性荧光染料 BODIPY™ 493/503 和荧光脂肪酸探针 BODIPY™ 500/510 C1 C12分别检测OV组织中的或与不同OV细胞系(ES-2、SKOV3、CAOV3)上清液共培养的人源CD4+ Treg的细胞内脂质含量和脂质摄取能力;使用脂肪酸氧化抑制剂(Etomoxir)、脂肪酸合成抑制剂(C75)和脂肪酸摄取抑制剂磺基-N-琥珀酰亚胺油酸酯(sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate,SSO)干预脂质代谢;通过流式细胞术分析 CD4+ Treg 上免疫抑制分子 PD-1 和 CTLA-4的表达。结果:OV组织CD4+ Treg相比传统CD4+ T细胞表现出更高的脂质含量和脂质摄取能力(P均< 0.01)。在体外实验中,与基础培养基相比,OV细胞培养上清可显著提升CD4+ Treg的胞内脂质含量与脂质摄取能力(P均< 0.05),其中CAOV3 来源的上清作用最为显著。此外,CAOV3上清液还能提升CD4+ Treg中PD-1与CTLA-4的表达(P < 0.05)。CD4+ Treg的脂质积累随 CAOV3 上清浓度增加呈剂量依赖性上升(P < 0.05),且其对胞外荧光脂肪酸类似物的摄取能力具有浓度依赖性(P < 0.05)。脂肪酸摄取抑制剂SSO可有效逆转CAOV3上清液诱导的CD4+ Treg脂质积累及PD-1、CTLA-4的高表达(P < 0.05);而脂肪酸氧化抑制剂Etomoxir与合成抑制剂C75则无显著影响。结论:OV微环境通过促进CD4+ Treg的脂质摄取,提高细胞内脂质含量,促进其免疫抑制分子PD-1和CTLA-4表达。靶向脂肪酸摄取途径可能是逆转OV中Treg介导的免疫抑制的潜在策略。

    Abstract:

    Objective:This study aimed to investigate the lipid metabolism characteristics,particularly lipid uptake and accumulation of regulatory CD4 + T cells(Treg)in the ovarian cancer microenvironment,and its potential impact on the expression of programmed cell death protein 1(PD - 1)and lymphocyte associated protein 4(CTLA - 4). Methods:The lipophilic fluorescent dye BODIPYTM 493/503 and the fluorescent fatty acid probe BODIPY™ 500/510 C1 C12 were used to detect intracellular lipid content and lipid uptake capacity,respectively,in human CD4 + Tregs isolated from ovarian cancer tissues or co -cultured with supernatants from various ovarian cancer cell lines(ES -2,SKOV3,CAOV3). Lipid metabolism was modulated using the fatty acid oxidation inhibitor Etomoxir,the fatty acid synthesis inhibitor C75,and the fatty acid uptake inhibitor sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate(SSO). Lipid content and the expression of immunosuppressive molecules PD - 1 and CTLA - 4 were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results:CD4 + Treg infiltrating ovarian cancer tissues exhibited significantly higher lipid content and lipid uptake capacity compared to conventional CD4+ T cells(P < 0.01). Among the ovarian cancer tumor supernatant tested in vitro,CAOV3-derived supernatant most significantly enhanced intracellular lipid content and uptake capacity in CD4 + Treg relative to basal medium(P < 0.05). Furthermore,CAOV3-conditioned medium upregulated PD - 1 and CTLA -4 expression in CD4 + Treg(P < 0.05). This was accompanied by a concentration - dependent increase in both lipid accumulation and fluorescent fatty acid analog uptake(P < 0.05). Notably,the fatty acid uptake inhibitor SSO effectively reversed the CAOV3 supernatant-induced lipid accumulation(P < 0.05)in CD4+ Treg and the elevated expression of PD-1 and CTLA - 4(all P < 0.05),whereas the oxidation inhibitor Etomoxir and the synthesis inhibitor C75 had no significant effect. Conclusion:The ovarian cancer microenvironment promotes lipid uptake in CD4 + Tregs,leading to intracellular lipid droplet accumulation,which in turn enhances their immunosuppressive function,as evidenced by upregulated PD-1 and CTLA-4 expression. Targeting the fatty acid uptake pathway may represent a potential strategy to reverse Treg - mediated immunosuppression in ovarian cancer.
