Abstract
Sepsis, a complex clinical syndrome characterized by an exaggerated host response to infection, often necessitates hospitalization and intensive care unit admission. Delayed or inaccurate diagnosis of sepsis, coupled with suboptimal treatment strategies, can result in unfavorable outcomes, including mortality. Maresins, a newly discovered family of lipid mediators synthesized from docosahexaenoic acid by macrophages, have emerged as key players in promoting inflammation resolution and the termination of inflammatory processes. Extensive evidence has unequivocally demonstrated the beneficial effects of maresins in modulating the inflammatory response associated with sepsis; however, their bioactivity and functions exhibit remarkable diversity and complexity. This article presents a comprehensive review of recent research on the role of maresins in sepsis, aiming to enhance our understanding of their effectiveness and elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying their actions in sepsis treatment. Furthermore, emerging insights into the management of patients with sepsis are also highlighted.

Abstract
The failure to resolve inflammation underpins to several prevalent diseases, like atherosclerosis, and so identifying ways to boost resolution is unmet clinical needs. The resolution of inflammation is governed by several factors such as specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) that counter-regulate pro-inflammatory pathways and promote tissue repair without compromising host defense. A major function of nearly all SPMs is to enhance the clearance of dead cells or efferocytosis. As such, phagocytes, such as macrophages, are essential cellular players in the resolution of inflammation because of their ability to rapidly and efficiently clear dead cells. This review highlights the role of SPMs in the clearance of apoptotic and necroptotic cells and offers insights into how targeting efferocytosis may provide new treatments for non-resolving diseases, like atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Maresins are lipid mediators derived from omega-3 fatty acids with anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving properties, capable of promoting tissue regeneration and potentially serving as a therapeutic agent for chronic inflammatory diseases. The aim of this review was to systematically investigate preclinical and clinical studies on maresin to inform translational research. Two independent reviewers performed comprehensive searches with the term "Maresin (NOT) Review" on PubMed. A total of 137 studies were included and categorized into 11 human organ systems. Data pertinent to clinical translation were specifically extracted, including delivery methods, optimal dose response, and specific functional efficacy. Maresins generally exhibit efficacy in treating inflammatory diseases, attenuating inflammation, protecting organs, and promoting tissue regeneration, mostly in rodent preclinical models. The nervous system has the highest number of original studies (n = 25), followed by the cardiovascular system, digestive system, and respiratory system, each having the second highest number of studies (n = 18) in the field. Most studies considered systemic delivery with an optimal dose response for mouse animal models ranging from 4 to 25 μg/kg or 2 to 200 ng via intraperitoneal or intravenous injection respectively, whereas human in vitro studies ranged between 1 and 10 nM. Although there has been no human interventional clinical trial yet, the levels of MaR1 in human tissue fluid can potentially serve as biomarkers, including salivary samples for predicting the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and periodontal diseases; plasma and synovial fluid levels of MaR1 can be associated with treatment response and defining pathotypes of rheumatoid arthritis. Maresins exhibit great potency in resolving disease inflammation and bridging tissue regeneration in preclinical models, and future translational development is warranted.

Abstract
This review is a synopsis of the main points from the opening presentation by the authors in the Resolution of Inflammation session at the 8th European Workshop on Lipid Mediators held at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden, June 29th, 2022. Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) promote tissue regeneration, control infections and resolution of inflammation. These include resolvins, protectins, maresins and the newly identified conjugates in tissue regeneration (CTRs). We reported mechanisms of CTRs in activating primordial regeneration pathways in planaria using RNA-sequencing. Also, the 4S,5S-epoxy-resolvin intermediate in the biosynthesis of resolvin D3 and resolvin D4 was prepared by total organic synthesis. Human neutrophils convert this to resolvin D3 and resolvin D4, while human M2 macrophages transformed this labile epoxide intermediate to resolvin D4 and a novel cysteinyl-resolvin that is a potent isomer of RCTR1. The novel cysteinyl-resolvin significantly accelerates tissue regeneration with planaria and inhibits human granuloma formation.

Abstract
Resolution of inflammation and mucosal wound healing are crucial processes required to re-establish homeostasis following injury of mucosal tissues. Maresin-2 (MaR2), a lipid specialized pro-resolving mediator derived from omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, has been reported to promote resolution of inflammation. However, a potential role for MaR2 in regulating mucosal repair remains undefined. Using lipidomic analyses, we demonstrate biosynthesis of MaR2 in healing intestinal mucosal wounds in vivo. Importantly, administration of exogenous MaR2 promoted mucosal repair following dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis or biopsy-induced colonic mucosal injury. Functional analyses revealed that MaR2 promotes mucosal wound repair by driving intestinal epithelial migration through activation of focal cell-matrix adhesion signaling in primary human intestinal epithelial cells. Because of its labile nature, MaR2 is easily degradable and requires ultracold storage to maintain functionality. Thus, we created thermostable polylactic acid MaR2 nanoparticles that retain biological activity following extended storage at 4 °C or above. Taken together, these results establish MaR2 as a potent pro-repair lipid mediator with broad therapeutic potential for use in promoting mucosal repair in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by diminished secretory function of the exocrine glands. Although extensive investigation has been done to understand Sjögren's syndrome, the causes of the disease are as yet unknown and treatments remain largely ineffective, with established therapeutic interventions being limited to use of saliva substitutes with modest effectiveness. A primary feature of Sjögren's syndrome is uncontrolled inflammation of exocrine tissues and previous studies have demonstrated that lipid-based specialized pro-resolving mediators reduce inflammation and restores tissue integrity in salivary glands. However, these studies are limited to a single specialized pro-resolving lipid mediator's family member resolvin D1 or RvD1 and its aspirin-triggered epimer, AT-RvD1. Consequently, additional studies are needed to explore the potential benefits of other members of the specialized pro-resolving lipid mediator's family and related molecules (e.g., additional resolvin subtypes as well as lipoxins, maresins and protectins). In support of this goal, the current review aims to briefly describe the range of current experimental methods to investigate the impact of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators on Sjögren's syndrome, including both strengths and weaknesses of each approach where this information is known. With this article, the possibilities presented by specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators will be introduced to a wider audience in immunology and practical advice is given to researchers who may wish to take up this work.

Abstract
Resolvins, protectins and maresins are a series of polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived molecules which play important roles in the resolution of inflammation. They are termed specialized proresolving mediators and facilitate a return to homeostasis following an inflammatory response. These molecules are currently the focus of intensive investigation, primarily for their ability to suppress inflammation in chronic disease states. Researchers have employed different synthetic approaches to assess whether various structural modifications of these compounds could provide access to future therapeutics. This review summarizes the modifications made thus far and focuses on the key structure-activity relationships which have been uncovered for resolvins, protectins, maresins and their analogues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cysteinyl-maresins, also known as maresin-conjugates in tissue regeneration (MCTRs), are recently discovered lipid mediators proposed to reduce airway inflammation. OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of MCTRs on IL-13-induced airway hyperresponsiveness in isolated human and mice airways. METHODS Before responsiveness to contractile agonists were assessed in myographs, human small bronchi were cultured for 2 days and mouse tracheas were cultured for 1-4 days. During the culture procedure airways were exposed to interleukin (IL)-13 in the presence or absence of MCTRs. Signalling mechanisms were explored using pharmacologic agonists and antagonists, and genetically modified mice. RESULTS IL-13 treatment increased contractions to histamine, carbachol and leukotriene D4 (LTD4) in human small bronchi, and to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in mouse trachea. In both preparations, co-incubation of the explanted tissues with MCTR3 reduced the IL-13 induced enhancement of contractions. In mouse trachea, this inhibitory effect of MCTR3 was blocked by three different CysLT1 receptor antagonists (montelukast, zafirlukast and pobilukast) during IL-13 exposure. Likewise, MCTR3 failed to reduce the IL-13-induced 5-HT responsiveness in mice deficient of the CysLT1 receptor. However, co-incubation with the classical CysLT1 receptor agonist LTD4 did not alter the IL-13-induced 5-HT hyperreactivity. CONCLUSIONS MCTR3, but not LTD4, decreased the IL-13-induced airway hyperresponsiveness by activation of the CysLT1 receptor. The distinct actions of the two lipid mediators on the CysLT1 receptor suggest an alternative signalling pathway appearing under inflammatory conditions, where this new action of MCTR3 implicates potential to inhibit airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of global mortality. Growing evidence suggests that unresolved inflammation contributes to the chronicity, progression and morbidity of many cardiovascular diseases, thus emphasizing the urgent need to illuminate the mechanisms controlling inflammation and its resolution, for the sake of new effective therapeutic options. Macrophage mediators in resolving inflammation (Maresins) are a family of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) derived from the ω-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Studies have indicated that Maresins play critical role in initiating the pro-resolving functions of phagocytes, decreasing the magnitude of the overall inflammatory response, and thereby protecting against inflammation-related disorders. In this review, we summarize the detailed actions and the therapeutic potential of Maresins, with a particular emphasis on Maresin-1 (MaR1), in cardiovascular diseases. We hope this review will lead to new avenues to Maresins-based therapies for inflammation-associated cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is one of the most important problems of modern medicine as it is the leading cause of hospitalizations, disability, and mortality. The key role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis is the imbalance between the activation of inflammation in the vascular wall and the mechanisms of its control. The resolution of inflammation is the most important physiological mechanism that is impaired in atherosclerosis. The resolution of inflammation has complex, not fully known mechanisms, in which lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play an important role. Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) represent a group of substances that carry out inflammation resolution and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. SPMs include lipoxins, resolvins, maresins, and protectins, which are formed from PUFAs and regulate many processes related to the active resolution of inflammation. Given the physiological importance of these substances, studies examining the possibility of pharmacological effects on inflammation resolution are of interest.

Abstract
Our previous studies demonstrated that resolvin D1 (RvD1) and its aspirin-trigged (AT) form AT-RvD1, are effective in decreasing inflammation while restoring saliva flow rates in a Sjögren's syndrome (SS)-like mouse model before and after disease onset. Resolvins are specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) that actively regulate inflammation. However, we only have extensive data within the salivary glands for RvD1 and AT-RvD1, both of which bind to the receptor ALX/FPR2. As such, the presence of other SPM receptors is unknown within salivary glands. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the expression of SPM receptors in non-SS and SS patients. For this purpose, six human minor salivary glands from female subjects were analyzed by H&E using the Chisholm and Mason classification to determine the degree of lymphocytic infiltration. Next, confocal immunofluorescence analysis was performed to determine the presence and distribution of different SPM receptors in mucous acini and striated ducts. We observed diffuse presence of lymphocytic infiltration and clinical data were consistent with SS diagnosis in three patients. Moreover, confocal immunofluorescence analysis indicated the presence of the receptors ALX/FPR2, BLT1 and CMKLR1 in the mucous acini and striated ducts of both non-SS and SS patients. GPR32 was absent in SS and non-SS minor salivary glands. In summary, our results showed that various SPM receptors are expressed in non-SS and SS minor salivary glands, all of which may pose as potential targets for promoting pro-epithelial and anti-inflammatory/pro-resolution signaling on SS patients.

The concept behind the resolution of inflammation has changed in the past decades from a passive to an active process, which reflects in novel avenues to understand and control inflammation-driven diseases. The time-dependent and active process of resolution phase is orchestrated by the endogenous biosynthesis of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs). Inflammation and its resolution are two forces in rheumatic diseases that affect millions of people worldwide with pain as the most common experienced symptom. The pathophysiological role of SPMs in arthritis has been demonstrated in pre-clinical and clinical studies (no clinical trials yet), which highlight their active orchestration of disease control. The endogenous roles of SPMs also give rise to the opportunity of envisaging these molecules as novel candidates to improve the life quality of rhematic diseases patients. Herein, we discuss the current understanding of SPMs endogenous roles in arthritis as pro-resolutive, protective, and immunoresolvent lipids.

Eicosanoid receptors as therapeutic targets for asthma. Clin Sci (Lond) 2021; 135:1945-1980. [PMID: 34401905 DOI: 10.1042/cs20190657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Revised: 07/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Eicosanoids comprise a group of oxidation products of arachidonic and 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acids formed by oxygenases and downstream enzymes. The two major pathways for eicosanoid formation are initiated by the actions of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), leading to leukotrienes (LTs) and 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE), and cyclooxygenase (COX), leading to prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane (TX). A third group (specialized pro-resolving mediators; SPMs), including lipoxin A4 (LXA4) and resolvins (Rvs), are formed by the combined actions of different oxygenases. The actions of the above eicosanoids are mediated by approximately 20 G protein-coupled receptors, resulting in a variety of both detrimental and beneficial effects on airway smooth muscle and inflammatory cells that are strongly implicated in asthma pathophysiology. Drugs targeting proinflammatory eicosanoid receptors, including CysLT1, the receptor for LTD4 (montelukast) and TP, the receptor for TXA2 (seratrodast) are currently in use, whereas antagonists of a number of other receptors, including DP2 (PGD2), BLT1 (LTB4), and OXE (5-oxo-ETE) are under investigation. Agonists targeting anti-inflammatory/pro-resolving eicosanoid receptors such as EP2/4 (PGE2), IP (PGI2), ALX/FPR2 (LXA4), and Chemerin1 (RvE1/2) are also being examined. This review summarizes the contributions of eicosanoid receptors to the pathophysiology of asthma and the potential therapeutic benefits of drugs that target these receptors. Because of the multifactorial nature of asthma and the diverse pathways affected by eicosanoid receptors, it will be important to identify subgroups of asthmatics that are likely to respond to any given therapy.

Inflammation and tumor progression: signaling pathways and targeted intervention. Signal Transduct Target Ther 2021; 6:263.

Abstract
Cancer development and its response to therapy are regulated by inflammation, which either promotes or suppresses tumor progression, potentially displaying opposing effects on therapeutic outcomes. Chronic inflammation facilitates tumor progression and treatment resistance, whereas induction of acute inflammatory reactions often stimulates the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and antigen presentation, leading to anti-tumor immune responses. In addition, multiple signaling pathways, such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT), toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways, cGAS/STING, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK); inflammatory factors, including cytokines (e.g., interleukin (IL), interferon (IFN), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α), chemokines (e.g., C-C motif chemokine ligands (CCLs) and C-X-C motif chemokine ligands (CXCLs)), growth factors (e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β), and inflammasome; as well as inflammatory metabolites including prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxane, and specialized proresolving mediators (SPM), have been identified as pivotal regulators of the initiation and resolution of inflammation. Nowadays, local irradiation, recombinant cytokines, neutralizing antibodies, small-molecule inhibitors, DC vaccines, oncolytic viruses, TLR agonists, and SPM have been developed to specifically modulate inflammation in cancer therapy, with some of these factors already undergoing clinical trials. Herein, we discuss the initiation and resolution of inflammation, the crosstalk between tumor development and inflammatory processes. We also highlight potential targets for harnessing inflammation in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
The resolution of inflammation is a tissue protective program that is governed by several factors including specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), proteins, gasses and nucleotides. Pro-resolving mediators activate counterregulatory programs to quell inflammation and promote tissue repair in a manner that does not compromise host defense. Phagocytes like neutrophils and macrophages play key roles in the resolution of inflammation because of their ability to remove debris, microbes and dead cells through processes including phagocytosis and efferocytosis. Emerging evidence suggests that failed resolution of inflammation and defective phagocytosis or efferocytosis underpins several prevalent human diseases. Therefore, understanding factors and mechanisms associated with enhancing these processes is a critical need. SPMs enhance phagocytosis and efferocytosis and this review will highlight mechanisms associated with their actions.

Abstract
Diet and inflammatory response are recognized as strictly related, and interest in exploring the potential of edible fats and oils for health and chronic diseases is emerging worldwide. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) present in fish oil (FO), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), may be partly converted into oxygenated bioactive lipids with anti-inflammatory and/or pro-resolving activities. Moreover, the co-presence of phenolic compounds and vitamins in edible oils may prevent the development of chronic diseases by their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and immunomodulatory activities. Finally, a high content in mono-unsaturated fatty acids may improve the serum lipid profile and decrease the alterations caused by the oxidized low-density lipoproteins and free radicals. The present review aims to highlight the role of lipids and other bioactive compounds contained in edible oils on oxidative stress and inflammation, focusing on critical and controversial issues that recently emerged, and pointing to the opposing role often played by edible oils components and their oxidized metabolites.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) remain poorly understood, and there are no specific therapeutics for SIC. We investigated the effects of maresin conjugates in tissue regeneration 1 (MCTR1) on SIC and explored its potential mechanisms. The experiments were conducted using an endotoxemia model induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mice were given MCTR1 intravenously 6 h after LPS stimulation. Echocardiography was performed to assess cardiac function 12 h after LPS administration. Treatment with MCTR1 significantly enhanced cardiac function and reduced LPS-induced increase of mRNA expression levels of inflammation cytokines. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that MCTR1 inhibited neutrophil chemotaxis via the IL-17 signaling pathway. We confirmed that MCTR1 reduced the expressions of neutrophil chemoattractants and neutrophil infiltration in the LPS-stimulated hearts. MCTR1 also resulted in a considerable reduction in IL-17A production mainly derived from γδ T cells. Moreover, our results provided the first evidence that neutralizing IL-17A or depletion of γδ T cells markedly decreased neutrophil recruitment and enhanced cardiac function in LPS-induced cardiac injury. These results suggest that MCTR1 alleviates neutrophil infiltration thereby improves cardiac function in LPS-induced cardiac injury via the IL-17 signaling pathway. Thus, MCTR1 represented a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with SIC.

Abstract
Cysteinyl leukotrienes 1 (CysLT1) receptor is a promising drug target for rhinitis or other allergic diseases. In our study, we built classification models to predict bioactivities of CysLT1 receptor antagonists. We built a dataset with 503 CysLT1 receptor antagonists which were divided into two groups: highly active molecules (IC50 < 1000 nM) and weakly active molecules (IC50 ≥ 1000 nM). The molecules were characterized by several descriptors including CORINA descriptors, MACCS fingerprints, Morgan fingerprint and molecular SMILES. For CORINA descriptors and two types of fingerprints, we used the random forests (RF) and deep neural networks (DNN) to build models. For molecular SMILES, we used recurrent neural networks (RNN) with the self-attention to build models. The accuracies of test sets for all models reached 85%, and the accuracy of the best model (Model 2C) was 93%. In addition, we made structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses on CysLT1 receptor antagonists, which were based on the output from the random forest models and RNN model. It was found that highly active antagonists usually contained the common substructures such as tetrazoles, indoles and quinolines. These substructures may improve the bioactivity of the CysLT1 receptor antagonists.

Abstract
Biologically active glutathione (GSH) conjugates of oxygenated fatty acids comprise a group of pro- and anti-inflammatory lipid mediators. While arachidonic acid (AA)-derived conjugates, as the cysteinyl leukotrienes (cys-LTs) and eoxins (EXs) have pro-inflammatory properties, conjugates in tissue regeneration (CTRs) biosynthesized from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) exhibit pro-resolving activity. Human platelets express abundant amounts of platelet-type 12-lipoxygenase (pt12-LOX) and leukotriene C4 synthase (LTC4S). However, the only two described GSH conjugates formed by platelets are the AA-derived cys-LTs and the recently reported maresin CTRs (MCTRs). While cys-LTs are biosynthesized in a transcellular mechanism via the action of 5-LOX and LTC4S, MCTR1 is formed by 12-LOX and a yet unidentified GSH S-transferase (GST). Here, we present a novel GSH conjugate formed from AA via the 12-LOX pathway in human platelets. The 12-oxo-glutathione adduct, 12-oxo-10-glutathionyl-5,8,14-eicosatrienoic acid (TOG10), was identified by mass spectrometry using positive electrospray ionization. The structural proposal is supported by fragmentation data of the labeled metabolite obtained after incubation of deuterated AA (AA-d8). In platelets as well as in HEK293 cells stably expressing pt12-LOX, TOG10 biosynthesis was inhibited by the 12-LOX inhibitor ML-355 (5 μM), which confirms the involvement of pt12-LOX. Interestingly, TOG10 was formed independently of LTC4S in platelets. This is in accordance with the observation that the conjugate was also generated by AA-stimulated HEK_12-LOX cells in absence of LTC4S. Nevertheless, TOG10 can also be formed by LTC4S as the biosynthesis in HEK_12-LOX_LTC4S cells was reduced by the specific LTC4S inhibitor TK04a. In summary, TOG10 was identified as a new AA-derived GSH conjugate generated in human platelets via the action of pt12-LOX in combination with a GST.

Abstract
Today, persistent and uncontrolled inflammation is appreciated to play a pivotal role in many diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic syndrome and many other diseases of public health concern (e.g. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and periodontal disease). The ideal response to initial challenge in humans is a self-limited inflammatory response leading to complete resolution. The resolution phase is now widely recognized as a biosynthetically active process, governed by a superfamily of endogenous chemical mediators that stimulate resolution of inflammatory responses, namely specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs). Because resolution is the natural ideal response, the SPMs have gained attention. SPMs are mediators that include ω-6 arachidonic acid-derived lipoxins, ω-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-derived resolvins, protectins and maresins, cysteinyl-SPMs, as well as n-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPA)-derived SPMs. These novel immunoresolvents, their biosynthetic pathways and receptors have proven to promote resolution of inflammation, clearance of microbes, reduce pain and promote tissue regeneration via specific cellular and molecular mechanisms. As of 17 August, 2020, PubMed.gov reported >1170 publications for resolvins, confirming their potent protective actions from many laboratories worldwide. Since this field is rapidly expanding, we provide a short update of advances within 2-3 years from human and preclinical animal studies, together with the structural-functional elucidation of SPMs and identification of novel SPM receptors. These new discoveries indicate that SPMs, their pathways and receptors could provide a basis for new approaches for treating inflammation-associated diseases and for stimulating tissue regeneration via resolution pharmacology and precision nutrition.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a fatal disease characterized by excessive infiltration of inflammatory cells. MCTR1 is an endogenously pro-resolution lipid mediator. We tested the hypothesis that MCTR1 accelerates inflammation resolution through resident M2 alveolar macrophage polarization. The mice received MCTR1 via intraperitoneal administration 3 days after LPS stimulation, and then, the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was collected 24 hours later to measure the neutrophil numbers. Flow cytometry was used to sort the resident and recruited macrophages. Post-treatment with MCTR1 offered dramatic benefits in the resolution phase of LPS-induced lung injury, including decreased neutrophil numbers, reduced BAL fluid protein and albumin concentrations and reduced histological injury. In addition, the expression of the M2 markers Arg1, FIZZ1, Remlα, CD206 and Dectin-1 was increased on resident macrophages in the LPS + MCTR1 group. Resident macrophage depletion abrogated the therapeutic effects of MCTR1, and reinjection of the sorted resident macrophages into the lung decreased neutrophil numbers. Finally, treatment with MCTR1 increased STAT6 phosphorylation. The STAT6 inhibitor AS1517499 abolished the beneficial effects of MCTR1. In conclusion, MCTR1 promotes resident M2 alveolar macrophage polarization via the STAT6 pathway to accelerate resolution of LPS-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death globally. Understanding and characterizing the biochemical context of the cardiovascular system in health and disease is a necessary preliminary step for developing novel therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring cardiovascular function. Bioactive lipids are a class of dietary-dependent, chemically heterogeneous lipids with potent biological signaling functions. They have been intensively studied for their roles in immunity, inflammation, and reproduction, among others. Recent advances in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques have revealed a staggering number of novel bioactive lipids, most of them unknown or very poorly characterized in a biological context. Some of these new bioactive lipids play important roles in cardiovascular biology, including development, inflammation, regeneration, stem cell differentiation, and regulation of cell proliferation. Identifying the lipid signaling pathways underlying these effects and uncovering their novel biological functions could pave the way for new therapeutic strategies aimed at CVD and cardiovascular regeneration.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of the pro-resolving lipid mediator 7(S),12(R),13(S)-Resolvin T2 [7(S), 12(R), 13(S)-RvT2] and its 13(R)-epimer, derived from n-3 docosapentaenoic acid (n-3 DPA), are described. 7(S), 12(R), 13(S)-RvT2 and its 13(R)-epimer were obtained by total synthesis using a chiral pool strategy to introduce the chiral centers. C7 was generated from S-(-)-1,2,4-butanetriol in both molecules and the C12 and C13 centers were generated from L-(+)-ribose and D-(-)-arabinose respectively. Cis and trans-selective Wittig reactions, selective deprotections, and Dess-Martin periodinane oxidation were the key steps in the syntheses.

Abstract
Endothelial glycocalyx degradation, critical for increased pulmonary vascular permeability, is thought to facilitate the development of sepsis into the multiple organ failure. Maresin conjugates in tissue regeneration 1 (MCTR1), a macrophage-derived lipid mediator, which exhibits potentially beneficial effects via the regulation of bacterial phagocytosis, promotion of inflammation resolution, and regeneration of tissue. In this study, we show that MCTR1 (100 ng/mouse) enhances the survival of mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced (15 mg/kg) sepsis. MCTR1 alleviates LPS (10 mg/kg)-induced lung dysfunction and lung tissue inflammatory response by decreasing inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β [IL-1β], and IL-6) expression in serum and reducing the serum levels of heparan sulfate (HS) and syndecan-1. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) experiments, MCTR1 (100 nM) was added to the culture medium with LPS for 6 hr. MCTR1 treatment markedly inhibited HS degradation by downregulating heparanase (HPA) protein expression in vivo and in vitro. Further analyses indicated that MCTR1 upregulates sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression and decreases NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. In the presence of BOC-2 or EX527, the above effects of MCTR1 were abolished. These results suggest that MCTR1 protects against LPS-induced sepsis in mice by attenuating pulmonary endothelial glycocalyx injury via the ALX/SIRT1/NF-κB/HPA pathway.

Abstract
Resolution of acute inflammation is an active process orchestrated by endogenous mediators and mechanisms pivotal in host defense and homeostasis. The macrophage mediator in resolving inflammation, maresin 1 (MaR1), is a potent immunoresolvent, stimulating resolution of acute inflammation and organ protection. Using an unbiased screening of greater than 200 GPCRs, we identified MaR1 as a stereoselective activator for human leucine-rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 6 (LGR6), expressed in phagocytes. MaR1 specificity for recombinant human LGR6 activation was established using reporter cells expressing LGR6 and functional impedance sensing. MaR1-specific binding to LGR6 was confirmed using 3H-labeled MaR1. With human and mouse phagocytes, MaR1 (0.01-10 nM) enhanced phagocytosis, efferocytosis, and phosphorylation of a panel of proteins including the ERK and cAMP response element-binding protein. These MaR1 actions were significantly amplified with LGR6 overexpression and diminished by gene silencing in phagocytes. Thus, we provide evidence for MaR1 as an endogenous activator of human LGR6 and a novel role of LGR6 in stimulating MaR1's key proresolving functions of phagocytes.

The Role of Maresins in Inflammatory Pain: Function of Macrophages in Wound Regeneration. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20235849.

Abstract
Although acute inflammatory responses are host-protective and generally self-limited, unresolved and delayed resolution of acute inflammation can lead to further tissue damage and chronic inflammation. The mechanism of pain induction under inflammatory conditions has been studied extensively; however, the mechanism of pain resolution is not fully understood. The resolution of inflammation is a biosynthetically active process, involving specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). In particular, maresins (MaRs) are synthesized from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by macrophages and have anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving capacities as well as tissue regenerating and pain-relieving properties. A new class of macrophage-derived molecules—MaR conjugates in tissue regeneration (MCTRs)—has been reported to regulate phagocytosis and the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue. Macrophages not only participate in the biosynthesis of SPMs, but also play an important role in phagocytosis. They exhibit different phenotypes categorized as proinflammatory M1-like phenotypes and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes that mediate both harmful and protective functions, respectively. However, the signaling mechanisms underlying macrophage functions and phenotypic changes have not yet been fully established. Recent studies report that MaRs help resolve inflammatory pain by enhancing macrophage phagocytosis and shifting cytokine release to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. Consequently, this review elucidated the characteristics of MaRs and macrophages, focusing on the potent action of MaRs to enhance the M2 macrophage phenotype profiles that possess the ability to alleviate inflammatory pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are potent prophlogistic mediators in asthmatic patients; however, inhibition of CysLT receptor 1 is not a consistently effective treatment, suggesting additional regulatory mechanisms. Other cysteinyl-containing lipid mediators (LMs) derived from docosahexaenoic acid, namely maresin conjugates in tissue regeneration (MCTRs), were recently discovered. Therefore their production and actions in the lung are of considerable interest. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine MCTR production, bioactions, and mechanisms in the human lung and in patients with experimental allergic airway inflammation. METHODS LM metabololipidomic profiling of the lung was performed by using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Donor-derived human precision-cut lung slices were exposed to leukotriene (LT) D4, MCTRs, or both before determination of airway contraction. The actions of exogenous MCTRs on murine allergic host responses were determined in the setting of ovalbumin- and house dust mite-induced lung inflammation. RESULTS Lipidomic profiling showed that the most abundant cysteinyl LMs in healthy human lungs were MCTRs, whereas CysLTs were most prevalent in patients with disease. MCTRs blocked LTD4-initiated airway contraction in human precision-cut lung slices. In mouse allergic lung inflammation MCTRs were present with temporally regulated production. With ovalbumin-induced inflammation, MCTR1 was most potent for promoting resolution of eosinophils, and MCTR3 potently decreased airway hyperreactivity to methacholine, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid albumin, and serum IgE levels. MCTR1 and MCTR3 inhibited lung eosinophilia after house dust mite-induced inflammation. CONCLUSION These results identified lung MCTRs that blocked human LTD4-induced airway contraction and promoted resolution of murine allergic airway responses when added exogenously. Together, these findings uncover proresolving mechanisms for lung responses that can be disrupted in patients with disease.

Abstract
Excessive chronic inflammation is linked to many diseases and considered a stress factor in humans (Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease. Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Co., 1999, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2008, 105: 17949, Immunity, 44, 2016, 44: 463, N Engl J Med, 2011, 364: 656). Today, the resolution of inflammation is widely recognized as a cellular biochemically active process involving biosynthesis of a novel superfamily of endogenous chemical signals coined specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs; Nature, 2014, 510:92). Herein, we review recent evidence, indicating a role for the vagus nerve and vagotomy in the regulation of lipid mediators. Vagotomy reduces pro-resolving mediators, including the lipoxins, resolvins, protectins and maresins, delaying resolution in mouse peritonitis. Vagotomy also delays resolution of Escherichia coli infection in mice. Specifically, right vagus regulates peritoneal Group 3 innate lymphoid cell (ILC-3) number and peritoneal macrophage responses with lipid mediator profile signatures with elevated pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and reduced resolvins, including the novel protective immunoresolvent agonist protectin conjugate in tissue regeneration1 (PCTR1). Acetylcholine upregulates PCTR biosynthesis, and administration of PCTR1 to vagotomized mice restores tissue resolution and host responses to E. coli infections. Results obtained with human vagus ex vivo indicate that vagus can produce both pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, as well as the SPM. Electrical stimulation of human vagus in vitro reduces both prostaglandins and leukotrienes and enhances resolvins and the other SPM. These results elucidate a host protective mechanism mediated by vagus stimulation of SPM that includes resolvins and PCTR1 to regulate myeloid antimicrobial functions and resolution of infection. Moreover, they define a new pro-resolution of inflammation reflex operative in mice and human tissue that involves a vagus SPM circuit.

Abstract
Non-resolving inflammation is the main mechanism of morbidity and mortality among patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common life-threatening human genetic disease. Resolution of inflammation is an active process timely controlled by endogenous specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) produced locally in inflammatory loci to restrain this innate response, prevent further damages to the host, and permit return to homeostasis. Lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins are SPM derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids that limit excessive leukocyte infiltration and pro-inflammatory signals, stimulate innate microbial killing, and enhance resolution. Their unique chemical structures, receptors, and bioactions are being elucidated. Accruing data indicate that SPMs carry protective functions against unrelenting inflammation and infections in preclinical models and human CF systems. Here, we reviewed their roles and actions in controlling resolution of inflammation, evidence for their impairment in CF, and proofs of principle for their exploitation as innovative, non-immunosuppressive drugs to address inflammation and infections in CF.

Abstract
The intestinal mucosa serves as a highly selective barrier that allows the absorption of nutrients and water while restricting microbiota access to tissues. This barrier is compromised in inflammatory conditions such as infectious colitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In response to mucosal injury, there is a temporal recruitment of leukocytes that crosstalk with epithelial cells to orchestrate repair. Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) play an important role in the resolution of inflammation and epithelial repair. SPMs actively promote resolution of inflammation by contributing to the clearance of neutrophils, stimulating efferocytosis, and promoting epithelial repair. SPMs have potential to serve as targeted therapeutic agents to be used in adjuvant therapy to promote resolution of inflammation and epithelial repair in chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Macrophages are immune-sensing "big eater" phagocytic cells responsible for an innate, adaptive, and regenerative response. After myocardial infarction, macrophages predominantly clear the deceased cardiomyocyte apoptotic or necrotic neutrophils to develop a regenerative and reparative program with the activation of the lipoxygenase-mediated maresin (MaR) metabolome at the site of ischemic injury. The specialized proresolving molecule and macrophage mediator in resolving inflammation, MaR-1, produced by human macrophages, has potent defining effects that limit polymorphonuclear neutrophil infiltration, enhance uptake of apoptotic PMNs, regulate inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration, and reduce pain. In addition to proresolving and anti-inflammatory actions, MaR-1 displays potent tissue regenerative effects in stroke and is an antinociceptive. Macrophages actively participate in the biosynthesis of bioactive MaR-2, which exhibits anti-inflammatory, proresolving, and atherosclerotic effects. A new class of macrophage-derived molecules, MaR conjugates in tissue regeneration, is identified that regulates phagocytosis and the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue. The presented review provides a current summary of the effect of MaR in resolution pathophysiology, with relevance to a cardiac repair program.-Jadapalli, J. K., Halade, G. V.
