Resolvin D1 binds human phagocytes with evidence for proresolving receptors.

ABSTRACT: Endogenous mechanisms that act in the resolution of acute inflammation are essential for host defense and the return to homeostasis. Resolvin D1 (RvD1), biosynthesized during resolution, displays potent and stereoselective anti-inflammatory actions, such as limiting neutrophil infiltration and proresolving actions. Here, we demonstrate that RvD1 actions on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) are pertussis toxin sensitive, decrease actin polymerization, and block LTB(4)-regulated adhesion molecules (beta2 integrins). Synthetic [(3)H]-RvD1 was prepared, which revealed specific RvD1 recognition sites on human leukocytes. Screening systems to identify receptors for RvD1 gave two candidates--ALX, a lipoxin A(4) receptor, and GPR32, an orphan--that were confirmed using a beta-arrestin-based ligand receptor system. Nuclear receptors including retinoid X receptor-alpha and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha, -delta, -gamma were not activated by either resolvin E1 or RvD1 at bioactive nanomolar concentrations. RvD1 enhanced macrophage phagocytosis of zymosan and apoptotic PMNs, which increased with overexpression of human ALX and GPR32 and decreased with selective knockdown of these G-protein-coupled receptors. Also, ALX and GPR32 surface expression in human monocytes was up-regulated by zymosan and granulocyte-monocyte-colony-stimulating factor. These results indicate that RvD1 specifically interacts with both ALX and GPR32 on phagocytes and suggest that each plays a role in resolving acute inflammation.

Project description:Resolvins D1 and D2 (RvDs) are structural isomers and metabolites of docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, enzymatically produced in our body in response to acute inflammation or microbial invasion. Resolvins have been shown to play an essential role in the resolution of inflammation, tissue repair, and return to homeostasis and thus are actively pursued as potential therapeutics in treating inflammatory disorders and infectious diseases. However, effective in vivo delivery of RvDs continues to be a challenging task. Recent studies demonstrated that RvD1 or RvD2 loaded in cell membrane-derived nanovesicles significantly increased therapeutic efficacy in treating murine peritonitis and ischemic stroke, respectively. The mechanistic details of how the subtle structural difference between RvD1 and RvD2 alters their molecular interactions with the membrane lipids of the nanovesicles and thus affects the loading efficiency remain unknown. Here, we report the encapsulation profiles of the neutral and ionized species of both RvD1 and RvD2 determined with the cell membrane-derived nanovesicles at pH values 5.4 and 7.4, respectively. Also, we performed microsecond time-scale all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in explicit water to elucidate the molecular interactions of both neutral and ionized species of RvD1 and RvD2 with the lipid bilayer using a model membrane system, containing 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) and cholesterol. We found that the differences in the position and chirality of hydroxyl groups in RvD1 and RvD2 affected their location, orientation, and conformations within the bilayer. Surprisingly, the deprotonation of their carboxyl group caused their orientation and conformation to change from a fully extended one that is oriented in parallel to the membrane plane to a J-shaped bent conformation that is oriented perpendicular to the bilayer plane. Our studies offer valuable insight into the molecular interactions of RvD1/D2 with the lipid bilayer in atomistic details and provide a mechanistic explanation for the observed differences in the encapsulation profiles of RvD1 and RvD2, which may facilitate the rational design of nanovesicle-based therapeutics for treating inflammatory diseases.
