RESUMO
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is strongly associated with abnormal or excessive fat deposition in the body, whose processes include persistent adipose inflammation and other disturbances with the development and function of immune cells. Researchers have recently become more and more interested in understanding how high-fat diet (HFD) affects the development and course of RCC by causing immunological dysfunction. Consequently, we explore the effect of HFD on the changes of immune cell groups in spleens, normal kidneys and tumors, mainly revealing the changes of T cells, B cells and NK cells, and further preliminarily exploring the changes of NK cell phenotype. Our findings demonstrate that: (1) HFD impacts the volume growth of ACHN tumor; (2) HFD increases the frequency of CD3+ T cell in spleen, normal kidney, and in tumor, while there are no significant change in CD19+ B cell in spleen, normal kidney and tumor; (3) HFD increases the frequency of NKp46+ NK cell in tumor, while HFD decrease the frequency of NKp46+ NK cell in spleen; (4) HFD increases the frequency of cNK in spleen, normal kidney and tumor, while HFD decreases the frequency of ILC1 in spleen, normal kidney and tumor. These data will open up new avenues for immunotherapy in individuals with obese renal cell carcinoma.
