ABSTRACT
Although autacoids primarily derived from the cyclooxygenase-2 and 5-lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways are essential mediators of inflammation, endogenous specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs) act as robust agonists of resolution. SPM biosynthesis is initiated by the conversion of arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid primarily via the 12/15-LOX pathway. Although 12/15-LOX activity is prominent in the cornea, the role of SPM pathway activation during infection remains largely unknown and is the focus of the current study. Pseudomonas keratitis was induced in resistant BALB/c and susceptible C57BL/6 (B6) mice. Biosynthetic pathways for proinflammatory autacoids and SPMs were assessed. Divergent lipid mediator profiles demonstrate the importance of 15-LOX pathways in the pathogenesis of ocular infectious disease. Results indicate that an imbalance of LOX enzymatic pathways contributes to susceptibility observed in B6 mice where deficient activation of SPM circuits, as indicated by reduced 15-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid and 17-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid levels, prevented transition toward resolution and led to chronic inflammation. In sharp contrast, BALB/c mice demonstrated a well-balanced axis of 5-LOX/12-LOX/15-LOX pathways, resulting in sufficient proresolving bioactive metabolite formation and immune homeostasis. Furthermore, a novel immunoregulatory role for 15-LOX was revealed in inflammatory cells (polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages), which influenced phagocytic activity. These data provide evidence that SPM circuits are essential for host defense during bacterial keratitis.-Carion, T. W., Greenwood, M., Ebrahim, A. S., Jerome, A., Suvas, S., Gronert, K., Berger, E.
