RESUMEN
Specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs) promote local macrophage efferocytosis but excess leukocytes early in inflammation require additional leukocyte clearance mechanism for resolution. Here, neutrophil clearance mechanisms from localized acute inflammation were investigated in mouse dorsal air pouches. 15-HEPE (15-hydroxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E,17Z-eicosapentaenoic acid) levels were increased in the exudates. Activated human neutrophils converted 15-HEPE to lipoxin A5 (5S,6R,15S-trihydroxy-7E,9E,11Z,13E,17Z-eicosapentaenoic acid), 15-epi-lipoxin A5 (5S,6R,15R-trihydroxy-7E,9E,11Z,13E,17Z-eicosapentaenoic acid), and resolvin E4 (RvE4; 5S,15S-dihydroxy-6E,8Z,11Z,13E,17Z-eicosapentaenoic acid). Exogenous 15-epi-lipoxin A5, 15-epi-lipoxin A4 and a structural lipoxin mimetic significantly decreased exudate neutrophils and increased local tissue macrophage efferocytosis, with comparison to naproxen. 15-epi-lipoxin A5 also cleared exudate neutrophils faster than the apparent local capacity for stimulated macrophage efferocytosis, so the fate of exudate neutrophils was tracked with CD45.1 variant neutrophils. 15-epi-lipoxin A5 augmented the exit of adoptively transferred neutrophils from the pouch exudate to the spleen, and significantly increased splenic SIRPa+ and MARCO+ macrophage efferocytosis. Together, these findings demonstrate new systemic resolution mechanisms for 15-epi-lipoxin A5 and RvE4 in localized tissue inflammation, which distally engage the spleen to activate macrophage efferocytosis for the clearance of tissue exudate neutrophils.

Neutrophils, the most abundant immune cells in human blood, play a fundamental role in host defense against invading pathogens and tissue injury. Neutrophils carry potentially lethal weaponry to the affected site. Inadvertent and perpetual neutrophil activation could lead to nonresolving inflammation and tissue damage, a unifying mechanism of many common diseases. The prevailing view emphasizes the dichotomy of their function, host defense versus tissue damage. However, tissue injury may also persist during neutropenia, which is associated with disease severity and poor outcome. Numerous studies highlight neutrophil phenotypic heterogeneity and functional versatility, indicating that neutrophils play more complex roles than previously thought. Emerging evidence indicates that neutrophils actively orchestrate resolution of inflammation and tissue repair and facilitate return to homeostasis. Thus, neutrophils mobilize multiple mechanisms to limit the inflammatory reaction, assure debris removal, matrix remodeling, cytokine scavenging, macrophage reprogramming, and angiogenesis. In this review, we will summarize the homeostatic and tissue-reparative functions and mechanisms of neutrophils across organs. We will also discuss how the healing power of neutrophils might be harnessed to develop novel resolution and repair-promoting therapies while maintaining their defense functions.

OBJECTIVE: Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] is a pro-resolving mediator. It is not known whether the pro-resolving effects of Ang-(1-7) are sustained and protect the lung from a subsequent inflammatory challenge. This study sought to investigate the impact of treatment in face of a second allergic or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. METHODS: Mice, sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA), received a single Ang-(1-7) dose at the peak of eosinophilic inflammation, 24 h after the final OVA challenge. Subsequently, mice were euthanized at 48, 72, 96, and 120 h following the OVA challenge, and cellular infiltrate, inflammatory mediators, lung histopathology, and macrophage-mediated efferocytic activity were evaluated. The secondary inflammatory stimulus (OVA or LPS) was administered 120 h after the last OVA challenge, and subsequent inflammatory analyses were performed. RESULTS: Treatment with Ang-(1-7) resulted in elevated levels of IL-10, CD4+Foxp3+, Mres in the lungs and enhanced macrophage-mediated efferocytic capacity. Moreover, in allergic mice treated with Ang-(1-7) and then subjected to a secondary OVA challenge, inflammation was also reduced. Similarly, in mice exposed to LPS, Ang-(1-7) effectively prevented the lung inflammation. CONCLUSION: A single dose of Ang-(1-7) resolves lung inflammation and protect the lung from a subsequent inflammatory challenge highlighting its potential therapeutic for individuals with asthma.

BACKGROUND: Reinstating inflammation resolution represents an innovative concept to regain inflammation control in diseases marked by chronic inflammation. While most therapeutics target inflammatory molecules and inflammatory effector cells and mediators, targeting macrophages to initiate inflammation resolution to control neuroinflammation has not yet been attempted. Resolution-phase macrophages are critical in the resolution process to regain tissue homeostasis, and are programmed through the presence and elimination of apoptotic leukocytes. Hence, inducing resolution-phase macrophages might represent an innovative therapeutic approach to control and terminate dysregulated neuroinflammation. METHODS: Here, we investigated if the factors released by in vitro induced resolution-phase macrophages (their secretome) are able to therapeutically reprogram macrophages to control neuroinflammation in the model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). RESULTS: We found that injection of the pro-resolutive secretome reduced demyelination and decreased inflammatory cell infiltration in the CNS, notably through the in vivo reprogramming of macrophages at the epigenetic level. Adoptive transfer experiments with in vivo or in vitro reprogrammed macrophages using such pro-resolutive secretome confirmed the stability and transferability of this acquired therapeutic activity. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our data confirm the therapeutic activity of a pro-resolution secretome in the treatment of ongoing CNS inflammation, via the epigenetic reprogramming of macrophages and open with that a new therapeutic avenue for diseases marked by neuroinflammation.

Targeting specific organs and cell types using nanotechnology and sophisticated delivery methods has been at the forefront of applicative biomedical sciences lately. Macrophages are an appealing target for immunomodulation by nanodelivery as they are heavily involved in various aspects of many diseases and are highly plastic in their nature. Their continuum of functional "polarization" states has been a research focus for many years yielding a profound understanding of various aspects of these cells. The ability of monocyte-derived macrophages to metamorphose from pro-inflammatory to reparative and consequently to pro-resolving effectors has raised significant interest in its therapeutic potential. Here, we briefly survey macrophages' ontogeny and various polarization phenotypes, highlighting their function in the inflammation-resolution shift. We review their inducing mediators, signaling pathways, and biological programs with emphasis on the nucleic acid sensing-IFN-I axis. We also portray the polarization spectrum of macrophages and the characteristics of their transition between different subtypes. Finally, we highlighted different current drug delivery methods for targeting macrophages with emphasis on nanotargeting that might lead to breakthroughs in the treatment of wound healing, bone regeneration, autoimmune, and fibrotic diseases.

INTRODUCTION: Pro-resolving molecules may curb disease caused by viruses without altering the capacity of the host to deal with infection. AP1189 is a melanocortin receptor-biased agonist endowed with pro-resolving and anti-inflammatory activity. We evaluated the preclinical and early clinical effects of treatment with AP1189 in the context of COVID-19. METHODS: C57BL/6j mice were infected intranasally with MHV-A59 or hK18-ACE2 mice with SARS-CoV-2. AP1189 (10 mg·kg-1, BID, s.c.) was given to the animals from day 2 and parameters evaluated at day 5. Human PBMCs from health donors were infected with SARS-CoV-2 in presence or absence of AP1189 and production of cytokines quantified. In the clinical study, 6 patients were initially given AP1189 (100 mg daily for 14 days) and this was followed by a randomized (2:1), placebo-controlled, double-blind trial that enrolled 54 hospitalized COVID-19 patients needing oxygen support. The primary outcome was the time in days until respiratory recovery, defined as a SpO2 ≥ 93% in ambient air. RESULTS: Treatment with AP1189 attenuated pulmonary inflammation in mice infected with MHV-A59 or SARS-CoV-2 and decreased the release of CXCL10, TNF-α and IL-1ß by human PBMCs. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients already taking glucocorticoids took a median time of 6 days until respiratory recovery when given placebo versus 4 days when taking AP1189 (P = 0.017). CONCLUSION: Treatment with AP1189 was associated with less disease caused by beta-coronavirus infection both in mice and in humans. This is the first demonstration of the effects of a pro-resolving molecule in the context of severe infection in humans.
RESUMEN
Lidocaine, a local anesthetic widely used in dentistry, is esteemed for its efficacy and safety. Recent research reveals its additional role in modulating the immune system, and particularly in reducing inflammation crucial for protecting tooth-supporting tissues. Notably, monocytes and macrophages, essential cellular components overseeing various physiological and pathological processes, stand as potential mediators of lidocaine's effects. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how lidocaine influences cell behavior using RNA sequencing. To investigate the effect of lidocaine on THP-1 cells' behavior, we performed an MTT assay and RNA-Seq along with qPCR analyses to evaluate the transcriptomic and proteomic changes in THP-1 cells. Our results showed that a high dose of lidocaine (>1 mM) had a significant cytotoxic effect on THP-1 cells. However, a lidocaine dose lower than 0.5 mM induced a mixed anti-inflammatory profile by significantly upregulating tissue remodeling (GDF15, FGF7, HGF, COL4A3, COL8A2, LAMB2, LAMC2, PDGFRA, and VEGFA) and through the resolution of inflammation (Cpeb4, Socs1, Socs2, Socs3, Dusp1, Tnfaip3, and Gata3) gene cassettes. This study explores the effect of lidocaine on the THP-1 in the M2-like healing phenotype and provides potential applications of lidocaine's therapeutic effectiveness in dental tissue repair.
RESUMEN
During resolution of inflammation, specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs), including resolvins, are produced to restore tissue homeostasis. We hypothesized that there might be a dysregulation of SPMs pathways in pathological vascular remodeling and that resolvin D2 (RvD2) might prevent vascular remodeling and contractile and endothelial dysfunction in a model of obesity and hypertension. In aortic samples of patients with or without abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), we evaluated gene expression of enzymes involved in SPMs synthesis (ALOXs), SPMs receptors and pro-inflammatory genes. In an experimental model of aortic dilation induced by high fat diet (HFD, 60%, eighteen weeks) and angiotensin II (AngII) infusion (four weeks), we studied the effect of RvD2 administration in aorta and small mesenteric arteries structure and function and markers of inflammation. In human macrophages we evaluated the effects of AngII and RvD2 in macrophages function and SPMs profile. In patients, we found positive correlations between AAA and obesity, and between AAA and expression of ALOX15, RvD2 receptor GPR18, and pro-inflammatory genes. There was an inverse correlation between the expression of aortic ALOX15 and AAA growth rate. In the mice model, RvD2 partially prevented the HFD plus AngII-induced obesity and adipose tissue inflammation, hypertension, aortic and mesenteric arteries remodeling, hypercontratility and endothelial dysfunction, and the expression of vascular proinflammatory markers and cell apoptosis. In human macrophages, RvD2 prevented AngII-induced impaired efferocytosis and switched SPMs profile. RvD2 might represent a novel protective strategy in preventing vascular damage associated to hypertension and obesity likely through effects in vascular and immune cells.

Space-related stressors such as microgravity are associated with cellular and molecular alterations of the immune and inflammatory homeostasis that have been linked to the disorders that astronauts suffer from during their missions. Most of the research of the past 30 years has consistently established that innate adaptive immune cells represent a target of microgravity, which leads to their defective or dysfunctional activation, as well as to an altered ability to produce soluble mediators-e.g., cytokines/chemokines and bioactive lipids-that altogether control tissue homeostasis. Bioactive lipids include a vast array of endogenous molecules of immune origin that control the induction, intensity and outcome of the inflammatory events. However, none of the papers published so far focus on a newly characterized class of lipid mediators called specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), which orchestrate the "resolution of inflammation"-i.e., the active control and confinement of the inflammatory torrent mostly driven by eicosanoids. SPMs are emerging as crucial players in those processes that avoid acute inflammation to degenerate into a chronic event. Given that SPMs, along with their metabolism and signaling, are being increasingly linked to many inflammatory disorders, their study seems of the outmost importance in the research of pathological processes involved in space-related diseases, also with the perspective of developing therapeutic countermeasures. Here, we show that microgravity, simulated in the rotary cell culture system (RCCS) developed by NASA, rearranges SPM receptors both at the gene and protein level, in human monocytes but not in lymphocytes. Moreover, RCCS treatment reduces the biosynthesis of a prominent SPM like resolvin (Rv) D1. These findings strongly suggest that not only microgravity can impair the functioning of immune cells at the level of bioactive lipids directly involved in proper inflammation, but it does so in a cell-specific manner, possibly perturbing immune homeostasis with monocytes being primary targets.

The resolution of inflammation, the other side of the inflammatory response, is defined as an active and highly coordinated process that promotes the restoration of immune microenvironment balance and tissue repair. Inflammation resolution involves several key processes, including dampening proinflammatory signaling, specialized proresolving lipid mediator (SPM) production, nonlipid proresolving mediator production, efferocytosis and regulatory T-cell (Treg) induction. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the effects of inflammation resolution on hypertension. Furthermore, our previous studies reported the antihypertensive effects of SPMs. Therefore, in this review, we aim to summarize and discuss the detailed association between arterial hypertension and inflammation resolution. Additional, the association between gut microbe-mediated immune and hypertension is discussed. This findings suggested that accelerating the resolution of inflammation can have beneficial effects on hypertension and its related organ damage. Exploring novel drug targets by focusing on various pathways involved in accelerating inflammation resolution will contribute to the treatment and control of hypertensive diseases in the future.

Mounting evidence from preclinical and clinical studies suggests that persistent inflammation functions as a driving force in the journey to cancer. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a key enzyme involved in inflammatory signaling. While being transiently upregulated upon inflammatory stimuli, COX-2 has been found to be consistently overexpressed in human colorectal cancer and several other malignancies. The association between chronic inflammation and cancer has been revisited: cancer can arise when inflammation fails to resolve. Besides its proinflammatory functions, COX-2 also catalyzes the production of pro-resolving as well as anti-inflammatory metabolites from polyunsaturated fatty acids. This may account for the side effects caused by long term use of some COX-2 inhibitory drugs during the cancer chemopreventive trials. This review summarizes the latest findings highlighting the dual functions of COX-2 in the context of its implications in the development, maintenance, and progression of cancer.
RESUMEN
Inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, characterized by dysregulated immune responses leading to tissue damage and chronic inflammation, present significant health challenges. This review uniquely focuses on efferocytosis-the phagocyte-mediated clearance of apoptotic cells-and its pivotal role in these disorders. We delve into the intricate mechanisms of efferocytosis' four stages and their implications in disease pathogenesis, distinguishing our study from previous literature. Our findings highlight impaired efferocytosis in conditions like atherosclerosis and asthma, proposing its targeting as a novel therapeutic strategy. We discuss the therapeutic potential of efferocytosis in modulating immune responses and resolving inflammation, offering a new perspective in treating inflammatory disorders.
RESUMEN
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological condition that is much more common as people get older. It may start out early or late. Increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and microglial activation, both of which contribute to the central nervous system's inflammatory state, are characteristics of AD. As opposed to this, periodontitis is a widespread oral infection brought on by Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria. By releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines into the systemic circulation, periodontitis can be classified as a "low-grade systemic disease." Periodontitis and AD are linked by inflammation, which is recognized to play a crucial part in both the disease processes. The current review sought to highlight the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are released during periodontal and Alzheimer's diseases in the pathophysiology of both conditions. It also addresses the puzzling relationship between AD and periodontitis, highlighting the etiology and potential ramifications.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: There is increasing interest in developing FPR2 agonists (compound 43, ACT-389949 and BMS-986235) as potential pro-resolving therapeutics, with ACT-389949 and BMS-986235 having entered phase I clinical development. FPR2 activation leads to diverse downstream outputs. ACT-389949 was observed to cause rapid tachyphylaxis, while BMS-986235 and compound 43 induced cardioprotective effects in preclinical models. We aim to characterise the differences in ligand-receptor engagement and downstream signalling and trafficking bias profile. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Concentration-response curves to G protein dissociation, ß-arrestin recruitment, receptor trafficking and second messenger signalling were generated using FPR2 ligands (BMS-986235, ACT-389949, compound 43 and WKYMVm), in HEK293A cells. Log(τ/KA) was obtained from the operational model for bias analysis using WKYMVm as a reference ligand. Docking of FPR2 ligands into the active FPR2 cryoEM structure (PDBID: 7T6S) was performed using ICM pro software. KEY RESULTS: Bias analysis revealed that WKYMVm and ACT-389949 shared a very similar bias profile. In comparison, BMS-986235 and compound 43 displayed approximately 5- to 50-fold bias away from ß-arrestin recruitment and trafficking pathways, while being 35- to 60-fold biased towards cAMP inhibition and pERK1/2. Molecular docking predicted key amino acid interactions at the FPR2 shared between WKYMVm and ACT-389949, but not with BMS-986235 and compound 43. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: In vitro characterisation demonstrated that WKYMVm and ACT-389949 differ from BMS-986235 and compound 43 in their signalling and protein coupling profile. This observation may be explained by differences in the ligand-receptor interactions. In vitro characterisation provided significant insights into identifying the desired bias profile for FPR2-based pharmacotherapy.
RESUMEN
While Resolvin D1 (RvD1) shows promise in resolving inflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), its pro-resolving roles on dendritic cells (DCs) remain unknown, and the chemical instability of RvD1 poses significant challenges to its drug development. This study aims to investigate whether 4-(2'-methoxyphenyl)-1-[2'-[N-(2â³-pyridinyl)-p-fluorobenzamido]ethyl]piperazine (p-MPPF), a novel chemically stable analogue of RvD1, can play a pro-resolving role in EAE, particularly on DCs, and if p-MPPF could serve as a potential substitute for RvD1. We showed that both RvD1 and p-MPPF mediated the resolution of inflammation in EAE, as evidenced by ameliorated EAE progression, attenuated pathological changes in the spinal cord, altered cytokine expression profile in serum, and reduced proportion of pro-inflammatory immune cells in the spleen. Utilizing DCs derived from both the spleen and bone marrow of EAE, our investigation showed that RvD1 and p-MPPF prevented DC maturation, decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, shifted DCs away from a pro-inflammatory phenotype, increased the phagocytosis capacity of DCs, and suppressed their ability to induce differentiation of CD4+ T cells into Th1 and Th17 subsets. For underlying intracellular mechanisms, we found that RvD1 and p-MPPF down-regulated the lactate dehydrogenase A signaling pathways. Comparisons between RvD1 and p-MPPF showed that they exerted overlapped pro-resolving effects to a large extent. This study demonstrates that both RvD1 and p-MPPF exert therapeutic effects on EAE by mediating inflammation resolution, which is closely associated with modulating DC immune function towards a tolerogenic phenotype. SPM mimetics may serve as a more promising therapeutic drug.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a pulmonary inflammatory process primarily caused by sepsis. The resolution of inflammation is an active process involving the endogenous biosynthesis of specialized pro-resolving mediators, including resolvin D1 (RvD1). Resident alveolar macrophages (RAMs) maintain pulmonary homeostasis and play a key role in the resolution phase. However, the role of RAMs in promoting the resolution of inflammation by RvD1 is unclear. OBJECTIVES: Here, we investigated the mechanisms of RvD1 on regulating RAMs to promote the resolution of ARDS. METHODS: Mice were administered lipopolysaccharide and/or Escherichia coli via aerosol inhalation to establish a self-limited ARDS model. Then, RvD1 was administered at the peak inflammatory response. RAMs self-renewal was measured by flow cytometry, RAM phagocytosis was measured by two-photon fluorescence imaging. In addition, plasma was collected from intensive care unit patients on days 0-2, 3-5, and 6-9 to measure RvD1 and S100A8/A9 levels using triple quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometry. RESULTS: RAMs were found to play a pivotal role in resolving inflammation during ARDS, and RvD1 enhanced RAM proliferation and phagocytosis, which was abrogated by a lipoxin A4 receptor (ALX, RvD1 receptor) inhibitor. Both primary RAMs transfected with rS100A8/A9 and/or S100A8/A9 siRNA and S100A9-/- mice (also deficient in S100A8 function) showed higher turnover and phagocytic function, indicating that RvD1 exerted its effects on RAMs by inhibiting S100A8/A9 production in the resolution phase. RvD1 reduced S100A8/A9 and its upstream MAPK14 levels in vivo and in vitro. Finally, in the patients, RvD1 levels were lower, but S100A8/A9 levels were higher. CONCLUSIONS: We propose that RvD1 improved RAM self-renewal and phagocytosis via the ALX/MAPK14/S100A8/A9 signaling pathway. Plasma RvD1 and S100A8/A9 levels were negatively correlated, and associated with the outcome of sepsis-induced ARDS.
RESUMEN
So far, tendon regeneration has mainly been analyzed independent from its adjacent tissues. However, the subacromial bursa in particular appears to influence the local inflammatory milieu in the shoulder. The resolution of local inflammation in the shoulder tissues is essential for tendon regeneration, and specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) play a key role in regulating the resolution of inflammation. Here, we aimed to understand the influence of the bursa on disease-associated processes in neighboring tendon healing. Bursa tissue and bursa-derived cells from patients with intact, moderate and severe rotator cuff disease were investigated for the presence of pro-resolving and inflammatory mediators, as well as their effect on tenocytes and sensitivity to mechanical loading by altering SPM signaling mediators in bursa cells. SPM signal mediators were present in the bursae and altered depending on the severity of rotator cuff disease. SPMs were particularly released from the bursal tissue of patients with rotator cuff disease, and the addition of bursa-released factors to IL-1ß-challenged tenocytes improved tenocyte characteristics. In addition, mechanical loading modulated pro-resolving processes in bursa cells. In particular, pathological high loading (8% strain) increased the expression and secretion of SPM signaling mediators. Overall, this study confirms the importance of bursae in regulating inflammatory processes in adjacent rotator cuff tendons.

Exosomes, a class of extracellular vesicles of endocytic origin, play a critical role in paracrine signaling for successful cell-cell crosstalk in vivo. However, limitations in our current understanding of these circulating nanoparticles hinder efficient isolation, characterization, and downstream functional analysis of cell-specific exosomes. In this work, we sought to develop a method to isolate and characterize keratinocyte-originated exosomes (hExoκ) from human chronic wound fluid. Furthermore, we studied the significance of hExoκ in diabetic wounds. LC-MS-MS detection of KRT14 in hExoκ and subsequent validation by Vesiclepedia and Exocarta databases identified surface KRT14 as a reliable marker of hExoκ. dSTORM nanoimaging identified KRT14+ extracellular vesicles (EVκ) in human chronic wound fluid, 23% of which were of exosomal origin. An immunomagnetic two-step separation method using KRT14 and tetraspanin antibodies successfully isolated hExoκ from the heterogeneous pool of EV in chronic wound fluid of 15 non-diabetic and 22 diabetic patients. Isolated hExoκ (Ø75-150nm) were characterized per EV-track guidelines. dSTORM images, analyzed using online CODI followed by independent validation using Nanometrix, revealed hExoκ Ø as 80-145nm. The abundance of hExoκ was low in diabetic wound fluids and negatively correlated with patient HbA1c levels. The hExoκ isolated from diabetic wound fluid showed a low abundance of small bp RNA (<200 bp). Raman spectroscopy underscored differences in surface lipids between non-diabetic and diabetic hExoκ Uptake of hExoκ by monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) was low for diabetics versus non-diabetics. Unlike hExoκ from non-diabetics, the addition of diabetic hExoκ to MDM polarized with LPS and INFγ resulted in sustained expression of iNOS and pro-inflammatory chemokines known to recruit macrophage (mÏ) This work provides maiden insight into the structure, composition, and function of hExoκ from chronic wound fluid thus providing a foundation for the study of exosomal malfunction under conditions of diabetic complications such as wound chronicity.
