Diet effects on SLE N-3 PUFA and N-6 PUFA In the last thirty years, numerous studies in murine SLE models such as NZBWF1, BXSB/MpJ, and MRL-1pr/1pr mice reported that fish and olive oils containing N-3 PUFA effectively attenuated plasma auto-antibodies, proteinuria, and kidney glomerulonephritis as well as increased lifespan of animals, compared with the phenotypes of mice fed with beef tallow that contained saturated fatty acids, N-6 PUFA, or N-9 monounsaturated fatty acids (N-9 MUFA) ( Figure 1 ) ( Figure 1 Mechanistically, N-3 PUFA prevented inflammatory and autoimmune responses mainly via anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects as it suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine production, lymphocyte proliferation, cytotoxic T cell activity, natural killer cell activity, macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity, neutrophil/monocyte chemotaxis, MHC Class II expression, and antigen presentation ( + T cell-associated genes, such as Cd80 , Il6 , Il10 , Il18 , Ccl5 , Cxcr3 , Tnfa , and Spp1 , thereby reducing inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and autoimmune reactions in murine SLE models ( + T cell-associated genes in the kidney and/or spleen, contributed to the development of autoimmune reactions in NZBWF1 mice ( Calorie restriction There have been many studies that examined the association between calorie restriction and autoimmune diseases such as SLE ( Figure 1 )
This integrative approach was designed to identify product-specific immunotoxic signatures and uncover mechanistic insights into how HTPs and CCs may influence susceptibility to neuroinflammatory diseases
