Docosahexaenoic Acid Controls Pulmonary Macrophage Lipid Raft Size and Inflammation. J Nutr 2024:S0022-3166(24)00174-3. [PMID: 38582385 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2024.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) controls the biophysical organization of plasma membrane sphingolipid/cholesterol-enriched lipid rafts to exert anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in lymphocytes. However, the impact of DHA on the spatial arrangement of alveolar macrophage lipid rafts and inflammation is unknown. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to determine how DHA controls lipid raft organization and function of alveolar macrophages. As proof-of-concept, we also investigated DHA's anti-inflammatory effects on select pulmonary inflammatory markers with a murine influenza model. METHODS MH-S cells, an alveolar macrophage line, were treated with 50 μM DHA or vehicle control and were used to study plasma membrane molecular organization with fluorescence-based methods. Biomimetic membranes and coarse grain molecular dynamic (MD) simulations were employed to investigate how DHA mechanistically controls lipid raft size. qRT-PCR, mass spectrometry, and ELISAs were used to quantify downstream inflammatory signaling transcripts, oxylipins, and cytokines, respectively. Lungs from DHA-fed influenza-infected mice were analyzed for specific inflammatory markers. RESULTS DHA increased the size of lipid rafts while decreasing the molecular packing of the MH-S plasma membrane. Adding a DHA-containing phospholipid to a biomimetic lipid raft-containing membrane led to condensing, which was reversed with the removal of cholesterol. MD simulations revealed DHA nucleated lipid rafts by driving cholesterol and sphingomyelin into rafts. Downstream of the plasma membrane, DHA lowered the concentration of select inflammatory transcripts, oxylipins, and IL-6 secretion. DHA lowered pulmonary Il6 and Tnf-α mRNA expression and increased anti-inflammatory oxylipins of influenza-infected mice. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest a model in which the localization of DHA acyl chains to nonrafts is driving sphingomyelin and cholesterol molecules into larger lipid rafts, which may serve as a trigger to impede signaling and lower inflammation. These findings also identify alveolar macrophages as a target of DHA and underscore the anti-inflammatory properties of DHA for lung inflammation.

Protective effects of docosahexaenoic acid supplementation on cognitive dysfunction and hippocampal synaptic plasticity impairment induced by early postnatal PM2.5 exposure in young rats.

Abstract
PM2.5 exposure is a challenging environmental issue that is closely related to cognitive development impairment; however, currently, relevant means for prevention and treatment remain lacking. Herein, we determined the preventive effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on the neurodevelopmental toxicity induced by PM2.5 exposure. Neonatal rats were divided randomly into three groups: control, PM2.5, and DHA + PM2.5 groups. DHA could ameliorate PM2.5-induced learning and memory dysfunction, as well as reverse the impairment of hippocampal synaptic plasticity, evidenced by enhanced long-term potentiation, recovered synaptic ultrastructure, and increased expression of synaptic proteins. Moreover, DHA increased CREB phosphorylation and BDNF levels and attenuated neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, reflected by lower levels of IBA-1, IL-1β, and IL-6 and increased levels of SOD1 and Nrf2. In summary, our findings demonstrated that supplementation of DHA effectively mitigated the cognitive dysfunction and synaptic plasticity impairment induced by early postnatal exposure to PM2.5. These beneficial effects may be attributed to the upregulation of the CREB/BDNF signaling pathway, as well as the reduction of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide a review of emerging literature describing the impact of diet on the respiratory response to air pollution in asthma. RECENT FINDINGS Asthma phenotyping (observable characteristics) and endotyping (mechanistic pathways) have increased the specificity of diagnostic and treatment pathways and opened the doors to the identification of subphenotypes with enhanced susceptibility to exposures and interventions. Mechanisms underlying the airway immune response to air pollution are still being defined but include oxidative stress, inflammation, and activation of adaptive and innate immune responses, with genetic susceptibility highlighted. Of these, neutrophil recruitment and activation appear prominent; however, understanding neutrophil function in response to pollutant exposures is a research gap. Diet may play a role in asthma pathogenesis and morbidity; therefore, diet modification is a potential target opportunity to protect against pollutant-induced lung injury. In particular, in vivo and in vitro data suggest the potential for diet to modify the inflammatory response in the airways, including impacts on neutrophil recruitment and function. Murine models provide compelling results in regard to the potential for dietary components (including fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids) to buffer against the inflammatory response to air pollution in the lung. Precision lifestyle approaches to asthma management and respiratory protection in the context of air pollution exposures may evolve to include diet, pending the results of further epidemiologic and causal investigation and with neutrophil recruitment and activation as a candidate mechanism.

Abstract
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy causing progressive vision loss. It is accompanied by chronic and sustained inflammation, including M1 microglia activation. This study evaluated the effect of an essential fatty acid (EFA) supplement containing specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), on retinal degeneration and microglia activation in rd10 mice, a model of RP, as well as on LPS-stimulated BV2 cells. The EFA supplement was orally administered to mice from postnatal day (P)9 to P18. At P18, the electrical activity of the retina was examined by electroretinography (ERG) and innate behavior in response to light were measured. Retinal degeneration was studied via histology including the TUNEL assay and microglia immunolabeling. Microglia polarization (M1/M2) was assessed by flow cytometry, qPCR, ELISA and histology. Redox status was analyzed by measuring antioxidant enzymes and markers of oxidative damage. Interestingly, the EFA supplement ameliorated retinal dysfunction and degeneration by improving ERG recording and sensitivity to light, and reducing photoreceptor cell loss. The EFA supplement reduced inflammation and microglia activation attenuating M1 markers as well as inducing a shift to the M2 phenotype in rd10 mouse retinas and LPS-stimulated BV2 cells. It also reduced oxidative stress markers of lipid peroxidation and carbonylation. These findings could open up new therapeutic opportunities based on resolving inflammation with oral supplementation with SPMs such as the EFA supplement.
