The relationship between atherosclerosis and risk of neurodegeneration has been established, in particular with vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). Systemic atherosclerosis increases the risk of VCID by inducing cerebral infarction, or through systemic or local inflammatory factors that underlie both atherosclerosis and cognition. Omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are involved in inflammatory processes, but with opposite roles. Specifically, omega-3 PUFAs exert anti-inflammatory properties by competing with omega-6 PUFAs and displacing arachidonic acid in membrane phospholipids, decreasing the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. Experimental studies and some clinical trials have demonstrated that omega-3 PUFA supplementation may reduce the risk of different phenotypes of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. This review describes the link between atherosclerosis, VCID and inflammation, as well as how omega-3 PUFA supplementation may be useful to prevent and treat inflammatory-related diseases. Keywords: omega-3 PUFAs; omega-6 PUFAs; inflammation; resolvins; AA/EPA ratio; atherosclerosis; cardiovascular risk; neurodegeneration; vascular cognitive impairment and dementia 1. Introduction to Omega-3 and Omega-6 PUFAs: An Overview of Their Metabolic Pathways Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are fatty acids with two or more double bonds in their carbon chain. PUFAs can be further categorized according to the location of the first double bond relative to the terminal methyl group: omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs are characterized by the presence of a double bond three and six atoms away from the methyl terminus, respectively. Omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs represent the most biologically significant PUFAs and their role in cardiovascular, inflammatory, and metabolic diseases has been extensively studied [1–4]. Figure1 illustrates the omega-6 and omega-3 PUFA biosynthetic pathway, which has already been extensively reviewed elsewhere [4,5]. Long-chain omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs derive from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3 !-3) and linoleic acid (LA, 18:2 !-6), respectively. ALA and LA are called essential fatty acids (EFAs), since mammals cannot synthetize them due to the lack of delta-12 Nutrients 2019, 11, 2279; doi:10.3390/nu11102279 www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients Nutrients 2019, 11, 2279 2 of 28 Nutrients 2019, 11, x FOR PEER 2 of 29 and anddelta delta-15-15 desaturases, desaturases, which which are enzymes are enzymes only only present present in marine in marine algae algae and andplants plants [6].

Eicosanoids and related fatty acid derivatives can be formed from arachidonic acid and other polyenoic fatty acids via the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways generating a variety of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, lipoxins, resolvins and others. The cytochrome P450 pathway leads to the formation of hydroxy fatty acids, such as 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and epoxy eicosanoids. Free radical reactions induced by reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen free radical species lead to oxygenated lipids such as isoprostanes or isolevuglandins which also exhibit pro-inflammatory activities. Eicosanoids and their metabolites play fundamental endocrine, autocrine and paracrine roles in both physiological and pathological signaling in various diseases. These molecules induce various unsaturated fatty acid dependent signaling pathways that influence crosstalk, alter cell–cell interactions, and result in a wide spectrum of cellular dysfunctions including those of the tissue microenvironment.

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.

Norris, Xavier de la Rosa, and Charles N. Serhan Center for Experimental Therapeutics and Reperfusion Injury, Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Resolution of acute inflammation is an active process orchestrated by endogenous mediators and mechanisms pivotal in host defense and homeostasis. The macrophage mediator in resolving inflammation, maresin 1 (MaR1), is a potent immunoresolvent, stimulating resolution of acute inflammation and organ protection. Using an unbiased screening of greater than 200 GPCRs, we identified MaR1 as a stereoselective activator for human leucine-rich repeat containing G protein–coupled receptor 6 (LGR6), expressed in phagocytes. MaR1 specificity for recombinant human LGR6 activation was established using reporter cells expressing LGR6 and functional impedance sensing. MaR1-specific binding to LGR6 was confirmed using 3H-labeled MaR1. With human and mouse phagocytes, MaR1 (0.01–10 nM) enhanced phagocytosis, efferocytosis, and phosphorylation of a panel of proteins including the ERK and cAMP response element-binding protein. These MaR1 actions were significantly amplified with LGR6 overexpression and diminished by gene silencing in phagocytes. Thus, we provide evidence for MaR1 as an endogenous activator of human LGR6 and a novel role of LGR6 in stimulating MaR1’s key proresolving functions of phagocytes.

Macrophages (MO) are important players in inflammation, with regulatory and executive functions. Eicosanoids and exosomes can be both triggers and mediators of these functions. Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are the most potent mediators of broncho-constriction in the lungs, a function exerted via CysLT1 receptor. Their function in asthma is well described, but little is known about CysLTs and lung cancer. In the first study we investigated how the interaction between pulmonary epithelium and leukocytes affects CysLTs formation.

  • Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators
    Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) are an important group of signaling molecules derived from arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid that are liberated during the inflammatory process. Studies have shown that resolvins, lipoxins, maresins, and protectins evoke responses that help to resolve an inflammatory episode. Cayman has synthesized an array of these key lipid mediators to aid in a better understanding of this process.
