摘要

Obesity increases the risk of many cancers and impairs the anti-tumour immune response. However, little is known about whether the source or composition of dietary fat affects tumour growth or anti-tumour immunity in obesity. Here, we show that high-fat diets (HFDs) derived from lard, beef tallow or butter accelerate tumour growth in a syngeneic model of melanoma, but HFDs based on coconut oil, palm oil or olive oil do not, despite equivalent obesity. Using butter-based and palm oil-based HFDs as examples, we find that these dietary fat sources differentially regulate natural killer and CD8 T cell infiltration and function within the tumour microenvironment, governed by distinct effects on the plasma metabolome and intracellular metabolism. We identify diet-related lipid intermediates, namely long-chain acylcarnitine species, as immunosuppressive metabolites enriched in mice fed butter compared to palm oil HFD. Together, these results highlight the significance of diet in maintaining a healthy immune system and suggest that modifying dietary fat may improve cancer outcomes in obesity.
