2 Figure 1 Fatty Acid-Induced CD4+ T Cell Depletion Promotes NAFLD-to-HCC Progression NAFLD is associated with linoleic acid (LA) accumulation in hepatocytes. Steatotic hepatocytes secrete free LA (fLA), which is taken up by CD4+ T cell, where it undergoes β-oxidation and generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that results in CD4+ T cell death and diminished immunosurveillance, thereby promoting liver cancer growth.
