Abstract
Uncontrolled inflammation giving rise to
excessive tissue inflammation can lead to chronic inflammation that enhances
tissue destruction, amplifying many chronic human pathologies. Normally the
acute inflammatory response is protective and should be self-limited returning
tissues to functional homeostasis with endogenous programmed resolution via
leukocyte vasculature cell-cell interactions and crosstalk that biosynthesize pro-resolving
mediators. When failed resolution takes place, as with the use of NSAIDs, tissues
undergo chronic inflammation and fibrosis. Herein, we discuss these mechanisms
and the role of specialized proresolving mediators, the resolvins, protectins
and maresins produced from essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, and their
contributions via their cognate cell surface receptors, to the resolution
response. Harnessing these pathways and their cellular mechanisms can help in
providing new therapeutic approaches to many human diseases, infections, organ
protection and trauma via resolution medicine to enhance the body’s own
resilience to challenge.
