Lipoxins: resolutionary road [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2009
The resolution of inflammation is an active process controlled by endogenous mediators with selective actions on neutrophils and monocytes. The initial phase of the acute inflammatory response is characterized by the production of pro‐inflammatory mediators followed by a second phase in which lipid mediators with pro‐resolution activities may be ...

The GPR40 Agonist GW9508 Enhances Neutrophil Function to Aid Bacterial Clearance During E. coli Infections

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
G-protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) is known to play a role in the regulation of fatty acids, insulin secretion, and inflammation. However, the function of this receptor in human neutrophils, one of the first leukocytes to arrive at the site of ...

Lipoxins and aspirin-triggered lipoxin inhibit inflammatory pain processing [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2007
Inflammatory conditions can lead to debilitating and persistent pain. This hyperalgesia reflects sensitization of peripheral terminals and facilitation of pain signaling at the spinal level. Studies of peripheral systems show that tissue injury triggers not only inflammation but also a well-orchestrated series of events that leads to reversal of the ...

Elevated Levels of Anti-Inflammatory Eicosanoids and Monocyte Heterogeneity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Eicosanoids modulate both innate and adaptive immune responses in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and have been suggested as possible Host Directed Therapy (HDT) targets, but more knowledge of eicosanoid dynamics in Mtb infection is required ...

Obesity-Driven Deficiencies of Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators May Drive Adverse Outcomes During SARS-CoV-2 Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Obesity is a major independent risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality upon infection with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which is responsible for the current coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19).

Integrated pro-resolving mechanisms: a new dimension for optimizing anti-inflammatory therapy in asthma – a review of impaired inflammation resolution in airway remodeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
The core pathology of asthma involves not only inflammation amplification but also a systemic failure of inflammation resolution programs. This review first summarizes the Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators (SPM) family, efferocytosis, and their ...
