Besides immunological aspects, AhR also plays a role in pharmacological, toxicological and many other physiological processes such as adaptive metabolism. In recent years, epigenetic mechanisms have provided new insight into gene regulation and reveal a new contribution to autoimmune disease pathogenesis. DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin alterations, microRNA and consequently non-genetic changes in phenotypes connect with environmental factors. Increasing data reveals AhR cross-roads with the most significant in immunology pathways. Although study on epigenetic modulations in autoimmune diseases is still not well understood, therefore future research will help us understand their pathophysiology and help to find new therapeutic strategies.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Airway disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterised by impaired mucociliary clearance, persistent bacterial infection and neutrophilic inflammation. Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) initiates the active resolution of inflammation and promotes airway surface hydration in CF models. 15-Lipoxygenase (LO) plays a central role in the ‘‘class switch’’ of eicosanoid mediator biosynthesis from leukotrienes to lipoxins, initiating the active resolution of inflammation. We hypothesised that defective eicosanoid mediator class switching contributes to the failure to resolve inflammation in CF lung disease. Using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples from 46 children with CF and 19 paediatric controls we demonstrate that the ratio of LXA4 to leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is depressed in CF BAL (p,0.01), even in the absence of infection (p,0.001).

In particular, cardiac fibrosis is considered as a major factor causing myocardial infarction and heart failure. In particular, oxidative stress is a major cause of heart fibrosis. In order to control such oxidative stress, the importance of nuclear factor erythropoietin 2 related factor 2 (NRF2) has recently been highlighted. In this review, we will discuss the activation of NRF2 by docosahexanoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and the specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) derived from polyunsaturated lipids, including DHA and EPA. Additionally, we will discuss their effects on cardiac fibrosis via NRF2 activation. Keywords: cardiac fibrosis; NRF2; lipoxins; resolvins; maresins; neuroprotectins 1. Introduction Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide [1]. Cardiac fibrosis is a major factor leading to the progression of myocardial infarction and heart failure [2]. Cardiac fibrosis is characterized by the net accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins in the cardiac stroma and ultimately impairs cardiac function [3]. Therefore, interest in substances with cardioprotective activity continues.

Roles for the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor in the Immune Response to Toxoplasma Gondii Abstract One of the major challenges faced by the immune system involves mounting an inflammatory response to control pathogen growth while limiting immune-mediated damage to the host. In order to achieve this balance, responding immune cells need to detect signals from the environment and react appropriately by promoting or attenuating inflammation. Cells of the immune system employ an array of sensors to respond to environmental cues, such as nuclear hormone receptors, cytokine receptors, and Toll-like receptors. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, provides immune cells with an additional means of detecting and responding to environmental signals to promote immunity. The work presented in this thesis examines the effects of AHR signaling during infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, a medically significant pathogen that naturally infects mice. A variety of AHR ligands are produced by the host and the parasite during toxoplasmosis, which raised the question of whether AHR activity influences the immune esponser in this setting.

  • New Series of Lipoxins Isolated from Human Eosinophils
    Volume 255, number 1, 143-148 FEBS 07584 September 1989 New series of lipoxins isolated from human eosinophils Dieter Steinhilber and Hermann J. Roth Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Institute, Auf der Morgenstelle 8, D-7400 Tiibingen, FRG Received 6 July 1989 Granulocytes from human eosinophilic donors were incubated with arachidonic acid or 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) and stimulated with the ionophore A23187. The eicosanoids were extracted with reversed-phase cartridges and subjected to RP-HPLC analysis. When extracts from eosinophii-enriehed populations were analysed and compared with extracts from human neutrophils, three additional peaks were detected which coeluted with 15-hydroxy-z/13-trans- 15H derivatives of leukotriene C4, D 4 and E, in different HPLC systems. The recorded absorbance spectra of the eluted compounds and the standards were identical and showed a maximum at 307 nm which is characteristic for a conjugated tetraene system with a bathochromic shift by the sulfur moiety in ~t-position to the tetraene system. The compound which coeluted with the 15-hydroxy-LTC4 standard was treated with y-glutamyltransferase and converted to the corresponding leukotriene D 4 derivative. The results indicate that interaction between the 5- and 15-1ipoxygenase pathways leads to the formation of a new series of arachidonie acid metabolites in human eosinophils. Since the biosynthetic route is similar to that of lipoxin A, and lipoxin B4, we suggest the trivial names lipoxin C4, D 4 and E~. Lipoxin; Leukotriene; Lipoxygenase; Eosinophil; Inflammation 1.
