Acute inflammation and its resolution are essential processes for tissue protection and homeostasis. In this context, specialized proresolving mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids are of interest. In this study, we report that resolvin E2 (RvE2) from eicosapentaenoic acid is endogenously produced during self-limited murine peritonitis in both the initiation and resolution phases. RvE2 (1–10 nM) carries potent leukocyte-directed actions that include: 1) regulating chemotaxis of human neutrophils; and 2) enhancing phagocytosis and anti-inflammatory cytokine production. These actions appear to be mediated by leukocyte G-protein–coupled receptors as preparation of labeled RvE2 gave direct evidence for specific binding of radiolabeled RvE2 to neutrophils (Kd 24.7 ± 10.1 nM) and resolvin E1 activation of recombinant G-protein–coupled receptors was assessed. In addition to the murine inflammatory milieu, RvE2 was also identified in plasma from healthy human subjects. RvE2 rapidly downregulated surface expression of human leukocyte integrins in whole blood and dampened responses to platelet-activating factor. Together, these results indicate that RvE2 can stimulate host-protective actions throughout initiation and resolution in the innate inflammatory responses.
急性炎症及其解决过程对于组织保护和稳态至关重要。在这种情况下,从多不饱和脂肪酸中衍生出的专门的促解决介质具有重要意义。在这项研究中,我们报告了自限性小鼠腹膜炎在启动和解决阶段都内源性产生的来自二十碳五烯酸的解决素E2(RvE2)。 RvE2(1-10 nM)具有强大的白细胞定向作用,包括:1)调节人类中性粒细胞的趋化作用;和2)增强吞噬作用和抗炎细胞因子的产生。这些作用似乎是通过白细胞G蛋白偶联受体介导的,因为标记的RvE2的制备提供了放射性标记的RvE2与中性粒细胞的特异性结合的直接证据(Kd 24.7±10.1 nM),并评估了解决素E1对重组G蛋白偶联受体的激活。除了小鼠的炎症环境外,RvE2还在健康人体内的血浆中被鉴定出来。 RvE2迅速降低了全血中人类白细胞整合素的表面表达,并减弱了对激活血小板因子的反应。这些结果表明,RvE2可以在先天性炎症反应的启动和解决过程中刺激宿主保护作用。
