Abstract
Chronic inflammation poses challenges to effective cancer treatment. Although anti-inflammatory therapies have shown short-term benefits, their long-term implications may be unfavorable because they fail to initiate the necessary inflammatory responses. Recent research underscores the promise of specialized pro-resolving mediators, which play a role in modulating the cancer microenvironment by promoting the resolution of initiated inflammatory processes and restoring tissue hemostasis. This review addresses current insights into how inflammation contributes to cancer pathogenesis and explores recent strategies to resolve inflammation associated with cancer.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has emerged as a prevalent malignancy worldwide, exhibiting the high morbidity and mortality rates. Resolvin D1 (RvD1) can exert anti-inflammation and anti-cancer effects on various diseases. This study is aimed to explore the role of RvD1 in CRC cells. HCT15 and SW480 cells were stimulated with IL-6 in our study. A series of assays such as CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, Transwell, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining were designed and conducted to figure out the role of RvD1 in CRC cells. RvD1 suppressed IL-6-induced SW480 and HCT15 cell proliferation. In addition, RvD1 inhibited IL-6-induced SW480 and HCT15 cell migration, invasion, and EMT process. In mechanism, RvD1 inhibited the activation of IL-6/STAT3 signaling in SW480 and HCT15 cells. Angoline strengthened the inhibitive effect of RvD1 on cell malignancy. RvD1 inhibited cell growth, migration, invasion and EMT process by inactivating IL-6/STAT3 signaling in CRC.

Abstract
More and more studies have shown that Branched chain amino acid transaminase 1 (BCAT1) is involved in the occurrence and development of a variety of tumors. However, the mechanism of its occurrence and development in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated the relationship between BCAT1 and AKT signaling pathway, as well as EMT, and the clinical significance of BCAT1 by using BCAT1 expression in 5 cell lines and 113 liver cancer and non-liver cancer tissue samples. The results showed that the expression of AKT was positively correlated with BCAT1 in HCC tissues, and BCAT1 could promote the progression of HCC cells through the AKT signaling pathway. Clinical analysis and Bioinformatics technology analysis revealed that BCAT1 was correlated with poor prognosis, and BCAT1 expression in the HCC tissues was evidently correlated with tumor number, vascular invasion, Edmondson grade and TNM stage (P < 0.05). In vitro studies showed that BCAT1 increased the invasion and migration of in MHCC-97H cells a d Huh7 cells. By inhibiting the expression of the BCAT1 gene, we detected the corresponding changes in the expression levels of Twist, E-cadherin and Vimentin, confirming that BCAT1 may promote the invasion and migration of HCC cells through epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). Overall, BCAT1 can activate AKT signaling pathway and EMT to promote the development and metastasis of HCC cells. this study may provide new ideas and directions for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Resolvin D1 Prevents Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Reduces Collagen Deposition by Stimulating Autophagy in Intestinal Fibrosis. Dig Dis Sci 2022; 67:4749-4759.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal fibrosis is the most common complication of inflammatory bowel disease; nevertheless, specific therapies are still unavailable. Resolvin D1 (RvD1), a typical endogenous ω-3 fatty acid-derived lipid mediator, has attracted wide attention due to its remarkable anti-fibrosis effects. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of RvD1 in intestinal fibrosis remain unclear. AIM To investigate the protective effect of RvD1 in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced intestinal fibrosis model and explore the molecular mechanisms underlying its anti-fibrotic effect. METHODS A DSS-induced intestinal fibrosis model and intestinal epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) model were used to observe the efficacy of RvD1, and fibroblasts were stimulated with conditioned medium with or without TGF-β1 to investigate the probable mechanisms of RvD1 in intestinal fibrosis disease. RESULTS Intestinal fibrosis was effectively alleviated by RvD1 in a DSS-induced model, both preventively and therapeutically, and autophagy inhibition-induced EMT in intestinal epithelial cells was significantly suppressed in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, RvD1 reduced epithelial cell EMT paracrine signaling, which promoted the differentiation of local fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that RvD1 reduces autophagy-induced EMT in intestinal epithelial cells and ameliorates intestinal fibrosis by disrupting epithelial-fibroblast crosstalk.

Abstract
The resolution of inflammation has emerged as a critical endogenous process that protects host tissues from prolonged or excessive inflammation that can become chronic. Failure of the resolution of inflammation is a key pathological mechanism that drives the progression of numerous inflammation-driven diseases. Essential polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-derived autacoid mediators termed 'specialized pro-resolving mediators' (SPMs) regulate endogenous resolution programs by limiting further neutrophil tissue infiltration and stimulating local immune cell (e.g., macrophage)-mediated clearance of apoptotic polymorphonuclear neutrophils, cellular debris, and microbes, as well as counter-regulating eicosanoid/cytokine production. The SPM superfamily encompasses lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, and maresins. Our understanding of the resolution phase of acute inflammation has grown exponentially in the past three decades with the discovery of novel pro-resolving lipid mediators, their pro-efferocytosis mechanisms, and their receptors. Technological advancement has further facilitated lipid mediator metabolipidomic based profiling of healthy and diseased human tissues, highlighting the extraordinary therapeutic potential of SPMs across a broad array of inflammatory diseases including cancer. As current front-line cancer therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation may induce various unwanted side effects such as robust pro-inflammatory and pro-tumorigenic host responses, characterizing SPMs and their receptors as novel therapeutic targets may have important implications as a new direction for host-targeted cancer therapy. Here, we discuss the origins of inflammation resolution, key discoveries and the failure of resolution mechanisms in diseases with an emphasis on cancer, and future directions focused on novel therapeutic applications for this exciting and rapidly expanding field.

Abstract
Otolaryngology (also known as ear, nose, and throat (ENT)) diseases can be significantly affected by the level of sex hormones, which indicates that sex differences affect the manifestation, pathophysiology, and outcomes of these diseases. Recently, increasing evidence has suggested that proinflammatory responses in ENT diseases are linked to the level of sex hormones. The sex hormone receptors are present on a wide variety of immune cells; therefore, it is evident that they play crucial roles in regulating the immune system and hence affect the disease progression of ENT diseases. In this review, we focus on how sex hormones, particularly estrogens, regulate ENT diseases, such as chronic rhinosinusitis, vocal fold polyps, thyroid cancer, Sjögren’s syndrome, and head and neck cancers, from the perspectives of inflammatory responses and specialized proresolving mediator-driven resolution. This paper aims to clarify why considering sex differences in the field of basic and medical research on otolaryngology is a key component to successful therapy for both males and females in the future.

Abstract
Radiation therapy-mediated salivary gland destruction is characterized by increased inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis, both of which ultimately lead to salivary gland hypofunction. However, current treatments (e.g., artificial saliva and sialagogues) only promote temporary relief of symptoms. As such, developing alternative measures against radiation damage is critical for restoring salivary gland structure and function. One promising option for managing radiation therapy-mediated damage in salivary glands is by activation of specialized proresolving lipid mediator receptors due to their demonstrated role in resolution of inflammation and fibrosis in many tissues. Nonetheless, little is known about the presence and function of these receptors in healthy and/or irradiated salivary glands. Therefore, the goal of this study was to detect whether these specialized proresolving lipid mediator receptors are expressed in healthy salivary glands and, if so, if they are maintained after radiation therapy-mediated damage. Our results indicate that specialized proresolving lipid mediator receptors are heterogeneously expressed in inflammatory as well as in acinar and ductal cells within human submandibular glands and that their expression persists after radiation therapy. These findings suggest that epithelial cells as well as resident immune cells represent potential targets for modulation of resolution of inflammation and fibrosis in irradiated salivary glands.
