Effective treatments 61 for SCI are not currently available. Maresin 1 (MaR1) is a highly conserved specialized 62 pro-resolving mediators (SPM) hosting potent anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving 63 properties with potent tissue regenerative actions. Here, we provide evidence that the 64 inappropriate biosynthesis of SPM in the lesioned spinal cord hampers the resolution of 65 inflammation and leads to deleterious consequences on neurological outcome in adult 66 female mice. We report that after spinal cord contusion injury in adult female mice, the 67 biosynthesis of SPM is not induced in the lesion site up to 2 weeks post-injury. 68 Exogenous administration of MaR1, a highly conserved SPM, propagated inflammatory 69 resolution after SCI, as revealed by accelerated clearance of neutrophils and the 70 reduction in macrophage accumulation at the lesion site. In the search of mechanisms 71 underlying the pro-resolving actions of MaR1 in SCI, we found that this SPM facilitated 72 several hallmarks of resolution of inflammation, including reduction of pro- 73 inflammatory cytokines (CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL3, CCL4, IL6, CSF3), silencing of 74 major inflammatory intracellular signalling cascades (STAT1, STAT3, STAT5, p38, 75 ERK1/2), redirection of macrophage activation towards a pro-repair phenotype, and 76 increase of the phagocytic engulfment of neutrophils by macrophages. Interestingly, 77 MaR1 administration significantly improved locomotor recovery and mitigated 78 secondary injury progression in a clinical relevant model of SCI. These findings suggest 79 that pro-resolution namely immunoresolvent therapies would be a novel approach to 80 improve neurological recovery after acute spinal cord injury. 81 82 Keywords: Inflammation, lipid mediators, Maresin 1, Resolution, Spinal Cord Injury 83 84 SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT 85 Inflammation is a protective response to injury or infection. In order to result in tissue 86 homeostasis, inflammation has to resolve over time. Incomplete or delayed resolution 87 leads to detrimental effects, including propagated tissue damage and impaired would 88 healing, as it occurs after spinal cord injury. We report that inflammation after spinal 89 cord injury is dysregulated, in part, due to inappropriate synthesis of pro-resolving lipid 90 mediators. We demonstrate that the administration of the resolution agonist, referred to 3 91 as maresin 1, after spinal cord injury
