ABSTRACT
Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity, but its underlying molecular mechanisms are not clear. Herein, we investigated the potential role of LXA4 in macrophage polarization and elucidated its possible molecular mechanism. The RAW264.7 macrophage cell line was pretreated with LXA4 with or without lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and interleukin-4 (IL-4). In cultured macrophages, LXA4 inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory polarization, thereby decreasing the release of proinflammatory cell factors (IL-1ß, IL-6, TNF-α) and increasing the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10). Notably, the inhibitory effect of LXA4 on inflammatory macrophage polarization was related to the downregulation of p-NF-κB p65 and IRF5 activity, which reduced the LPS-induced phenotypic and functional polarization of M1 macrophages via the FPR2/IRF5 signaling pathway. Moreover, LXA4 also induced the IL-4-induced polarization of M2 macrophages by promoting the FPR2/IRF4 signaling pathway. Therefore, LXA4 regulates M1/M2 polarization of macrophages via the FPR2-IRF pathway.
