Maresin-like lipid mediators are produced by leukocytes and platelets and rescue reparative function of diabetes-impaired macrophages.

ABSTRACT: Nonhealing diabetic wounds are associated with impaired macrophage (Mf) function. Leukocytes and platelets (PLT) play crucial roles in wound healing by poorly understood mechanisms. Here we report the identification and characterization of the maresin-like(L) mediators 14,22-dihydroxy-docosa-4Z,7Z,10Z,12E,16Z,19Z-hexaenoic acids, 14S,22-diHDHA (maresin-L1), and 14R,22-diHDHA (maresin-L2) that are produced by leukocytes and PLT and involved in wound healing. We show that 12-lipoxygenase-initiated 14S-hydroxylation or cytochrome P450 catalyzed 14R-hydroxylation and P450-initiated ?(22)-hydroxylation are required for maresin-L biosynthesis. Maresin-L treatment restores reparative functions of diabetic Mfs, suggesting that maresin-Ls act as autocrine/paracrine factors responsible for, at least in part, the reparative functions of leukocytes and PLT in wounds. Additionally, maresin-L ameliorates Mf inflammatory activation and has the potential to suppress the chronic inflammation in diabetic wounds caused by activation of Mfs. These findings provide initial insights into maresin-L biosynthesis and mechanism of action and potentially offer a therapeutic option for better treatment of diabetic wounds.

Project description:Essentials Specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs) promote the resolution of inflammation. This study sought to investigate the effects of SPMs on human platelet function. The SPM, Maresin 1, enhanced hemostatic, but suppressed inflammatory functions of platelets. SPMs uniquely regulate platelet function and may represent a new class of antiplatelet agents.SummaryBackground Antiplatelet therapy is a cornerstone of modern medical practice and is routinely employed to reduce the likelihood of myocardial infarction, thrombosis and stroke. However, current antiplatelet therapies, such as aspirin, often have adverse side-effects, including increased risk of bleeding, and some patients are relatively 'aspirin-resistant'. Platelets are intimately involved in hemostasis and inflammation, and clinical consequences are associated with excessive or insufficient platelet activation. Objectives A major unmet need in the field of hematology is the development of new agents that safely prevent unwanted platelet activation in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease, while minimizing the risk of bleeding. Here, we investigate the potential of endogenously produced, specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) as novel antiplatelet agents. SPMs are a recently discovered class of lipid-derived molecules that drive the resolution of inflammation without being overtly immunosuppressive. Methods Human platelets were treated with lipoxin A4, resolvin D1, resolvin D2, 17-HDHA or maresin 1 for 15 min, then were subjected to platelet function tests, including spreading, aggregation and inflammatory mediator release. Results We show for the first time that human platelets express the SPM receptors, GPR32 and ALX. Furthermore, our data demonstrate that maresin 1 differentially regulates platelet hemostatic function by enhancing platelet aggregation and spreading, while suppressing release of proinflammatory and prothrombotic mediators. Conclusions These data support the concept that SPMs differentially regulate platelet function and may represent a novel class of antiplatelet agents. SPMs also may play an important role in the resolution of inflammation in cardiovascular diseases.
