“Similar agonists sets were employed, and cells incubated with DHA and AA had a significantly reduced (P < 0.05) IL-2 secretion in three of the agonist sets.”
“However, the concentration of IL-2 produced in presence of either docosahexaenoic, eicosapentaenoic or arachidonic acid was significantly reduced by 36%, 32% and 39%, respectively, in controls while 16%, 15% and 23%, respectively, in diabetics.”

“ IL-2 also increased arachidonic acid ( AA ) production in CTLL-2 cells, probably via phospholipase A2 (PLA2) since the PLA2 inhibitors oleoyloxyethyl phosphocholine and AACOCF3 (AACF) effectively blocked IL-2 stimulated PKC activation.”
“Cis-unsaturated fatty acids such as dihomogamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), arachidonic acid (AA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which form precursors to 1, 2 and 3 series prostaglandins (PGs), have been shown to suppress human T-cell growth in vitro by a prostaglandin E (PGE)-independent mechanism.”
“Interestingly, arachidonic acid caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of interleukin-2 secretion (IC50 = 10.3 μM), which was similar to that of structurally related anandamide (IC50 = 11.4 μM).”
“The inhibition of interleukin-2 by anandamide and arachidonic acid was partially reversed by pretreatment with the nonspecific cyclooxygenase inhibitors, flurbiprofen and piroxicam.”

“Combination of PE and PYY resulted in increases in [Ca]which were at best additive, whereas they … clearly synergistic rise in Ins(1,4,5)P3 at both 15 and 60 s. Co-stimulation also resulted in a synergistic activation … protein kinase C (PKC) and [3H]arachidonic acid release.”

“Incubation with interleukin-2 (10 units/mL) for 6 or 18 hours augmented the response to arachidonic acid in rings with, but not in those without, endothelium from WKY rat aortas.”
