Popis: The roles of differentiation and cytokine production of helper T and killer T cells by antigen stimulation were investigated to clarify the mechanisms of CHS exacerbation by naturally oxidized olive oil. Mice were orally administered naturally oxidized olive oil once every 2 days for 1 week after sensitization. IL-18 expression in the ear auricle and AP-1 and caspase-1 activity in the splenocytes were measured. The splenic T cell subpopulation and IL-4 and IFN-γ production in each subpopulation were also analysed. IL-18 expression and AP-1 and caspase-1 activity increased in the oxidized olive oil-administered group. CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ cells in splenocytes of OXA-sensitized mice increased from oxidized olive oil administration, and IFN-γ, a Th1 cytokine produced by antigen-stimulated CD3+CD4+ cells, was increased. These results suggest that excessive consumption of oxidized oils exacerbates the allergic reaction by promoting antigen-specific T cell differentiation and increasing production of inflammatory cytokines.
