Abstract
The innate immune system of patients with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is deregulated with highly increased or decreased transcription of inflammatory genes and consistently depressed phagocytosis of amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ) by monocytes and macrophages. Current immune therapies target single mechanisms in the adaptive immune system but not innate immunity. Here, we summarize recent advances in therapy by ω-3, ω-6, and epoxy fatty acids; specialized proresolving mediators; and vitamin D3 that have proven immune effects and emerging cognitive effects in patients with MCI. The hypothesis of this approach is that macrophages of normal participants, but not those of patients with Alzheimer's disease and MCI, possess effective phagocytosis for Aβ and protect homeostasis of the brain and, furthermore, that defective MCI macrophages recover phagocytic function via ω-3. Recent studies of fish-derived ω-3 supplementation in patients with MCI have shown polarization of Apoε3/ε3 patients' macrophages to an intermediate M1-M2 phenotype that is optimal for Aβ phagocytosis and the stabilization of cognitive decline. Therefore, accumulating preclinical and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that ω-3 supplementation should be tested in a randomized controlled clinical trial and that the analysis should involve the apolipoprotein E genotype and intervening conditions during trial.-Fiala, M., Kooij, G., Wagner, K., Hammock, B., Pellegrini, M.

Abstract
Exposure of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes to Plasmodium infection enhances the ability of their immune system to respond to subsequent infections. However, the molecular mechanism that allows the insect innate immune system to ‘remember' a previous encounter with a pathogen has not been established. Challenged mosquitoes constitutively release a soluble haemocyte differentiation factor into their haemolymph that, when transferred into Naive mosquitoes, also induces priming. Here we show that this factor consists of a Lipoxin/Lipocalin complex. We demonstrate that innate immune priming in mosquitoes involves a persistent increase in expression of Evokin (a lipid carrier of the lipocalin family), and in their ability to convert arachidonic acid to lipoxins, predominantly Lipoxin A4. Plasmodium ookinete midgut invasion triggers immune priming by inducing the release of a mosquito lipoxin/lipocalin complex. A soluble factor induced by Plasmodium infection promotes hemocyte differentiation and increases mosquitoe resistance to subsequent infections. Here the authors show that this factor consists of a Lipocalin/Lipoxin A4 complex, and that insects can metabolize arachidonic acid to produce lipoxins.

Abstract
1. To test the hypothesis that protein kinase C (PKC) is involved in the inhibitory actions of lipoxin A4 (LXA4) on second messenger generation, we studied the effects of LXA4 on PKC in human neutrophils and on leukotriene B4 (LTB4)-stimulated inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) generation. 2. LXA4, 1 microM, caused a fall in cytosolic PKC-dependent histone phosphorylating activity to 23.5% of basal levels. 3. LXA4, caused an increase in particulate PKC-dependent histone phosphorylating activity with a bell-shaped dose-response fashion; maximal stimulation was observed at 10 nM LXA4. 4. Western blot analysis with affinity-purified antibodies to alpha- and beta-PKC showed that only the beta-PKC isotype was translocated by LXA4. 5. LXA4 inhibited LTB4-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation in a bell-shaped fashion with maximal inhibition at 1 nM LXA4. The observed inhibition was dose-dependently removed by pre-incubation with a PKC inhibitor (Ro-31-8220). 6. These results show that LXA4 activates PKC in whole cells and supports a role for PKC activation in the inhibitory action of LXA4 on LTB4-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation. 7. LXA4 (1-1000 nM) pre-incubation did not affect specific binding of [3H]-LTB4 to neutrophils. Thus, the inhibitory effect of LXA4 on LTB4-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation could not be attributed to an effect on LTB4 receptors.

Abstract
Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) possesses potent bioactions. To facilitate its detection, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed that proved sensitive and selective. Quantitation by ELISA of LXA4 generated from cellular sources strongly correlated (r = 0.99) with values obtained by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). We used this LXA4-ELISA to examine parameters influencing LXA4 generation from endogenous substrates during human platelet-neutrophil (PLT-PMN) interactions in vitro. Agonist-induced LXA4 production was clearly evident at a PLT-PMN ratio of 10:1, and recombinant human granulocyte/monocyte colony stimulating factor-priming of PMN augmented LXA4 generation 5-6 fold. The chemotactic peptide formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, platelet-derived growth factor and arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) each stimulated formation of immunoreactive LXA4 (iLXA4) in these co-incubations. The presence of iLXA4 was also evaluated in vivo in aspirin-sensitive asthmatic patients who, in a randomized, double-blind crossover design, underwent nasal lavage after they each ingested a predetermined threshold dose of aspirin or placebo. Aspirin challenge provoked statistically significant increases in iLXA4 in each patient (P < 0.005). These results validate the use of a solid-phase ELISA for detection of LXA4. Furthermore, the use of this ELISA has allowed the first documentation of iLXA4 formation in human subjects with aspirin-sensitive asthma following specific antigenic challenge.

Abstract
Eicosanoids derived from lipoxygenase (LO)-catalyzed reactions play important roles in pulmonary inflammation. Here, we examined formation of LO-derived products by human alveolar macrophages (HAM). HAM converted [1-14C]-arachidonic acid to a product carrying 14C-radiolabel that was identified as 15(S)-hydroxy-5,8,11-cis-13-trans-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) by physical methods. 15-LO mRNA was demonstrated in HAM by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Incubation of HAM for 3 d with interleukin 4(IL-4) before exposure to [1-14C]arachidonic acid led to both increased mRNA for 15-LO and a 4-fold increase in 15-HETE formation. In contrast, 5(S)-hydroxy-6-trans-8,11,14-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid generation was not significantly altered by prior exposure to IL-4. Additionally, lipoxins (LXA4 and LXB4) were detected from endogenous substrate, albeit in lower levels than leukotriene B4 (LTB4), in electrochemical detection/high performance liquid chromatography profiles from HAM incubated in the presence and absence of the chemotactic peptide (FMLP) or the calcium ionophore (A23187). Exposure of HAM to leukotriene A4 (LTA4) resulted in a 2-fold increase in LXA4 and 10-fold increase in LXB4. These results demonstrate the presence of 15-LO mRNA and enzyme activity in HAM and the production of LXA4 and LXB4 by these cells. Along with 5-LO-derived products, the biosynthesis of 15-LO-derived eicosanoids by HAM may also be relevant in modulating inflammatory responses in the lung.

Abstract
We assessed the role of leukotrienes (LTs) in Munich-Wistar rats with passive Heymann nephritis (PHN), an animal model of human membranous nephropathy. 10 d after injection of anti-Fx1A antibody, urinary protein excretion rate (Upr) in PHN was significantly higher than that of control. Micropuncture studies demonstrated reduced single nephron plasma flow and glomerular filtration rates, increased transcapillary hydraulic pressure difference, pre- and postglomerular resistances, and decreased ultrafiltration coefficient in PHN rats. Glomerular LTB4 generation from PHN rats was increased. Administration of the 5-LO activating protein inhibitor MK886 for 10 d markedly blunted proteinuria and normalized glomerular hemodynamic abnormalities in PHN rats. An LTD4 receptor antagonist SK&F 104353 led to an immediate reduction in Upr and to reversal of glomerular hemodynamic impairment. Ia(+) cells/glomerulus were increased in PHN rats. In x-irradiated PHN rats, which developed glomerular macrophage depletion, augmented glomerular LT synthesis was abolished. Thus, in the autologous phase of PHN, LTD4 mediates glomerular hemodynamic abnormalities and a hemodynamic component of the accompanying proteinuria. The synthesis of LTD4 likely occurs directly from macrophages or from macrophage-derived LTA4, through LTC4 synthase in glomerular cells.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of the n-6 fatty acid, dihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA, 20: 3, n-6) on arachidonic acid (AA) (C20: 4) metabolism by human peripheral mononuclear leukocytes (HPML). After incubation of HPML with A23187 (5 microM) and DGLA, the cyclooxygenase (CO) and lipoxygenase (LO) products were separated and quantified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) combined with radioimmunoassay. DGLA led to no change in PGE2 formation, but at similar concentrations there was a dose-dependent decrease in LTB4 formation (IC50 = 45.0 microM). The inhibition of LTB4 formation by DGLA was associated with a dose-dependent increase in its 15-LO metabolite 15-hydroxyeicosatraenoic acid (15-HETrE) and its CO metabolite prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). Incubation of HPLM with 15-HETrE (0-1.5 microM) alone did not result in a change in PGE2 formation, whereas 15-HETrE was a much more potent inhibitor of LTB4 formation (IC50 = 0.5 microM) than DGLA. These results show that the addition of DGLA to HPML results in a selective inhibition of LTB4 formation, presumably via its metabolite (15-HETrE).
