PG - 6 LID - 10.1186/1476-9255-11-6 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of Resolvin-D1 (RV-D1) and its mechanism of action in human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells. METHODS: HCE cells were incubated with different concentrations of RV-D1 for different time periods. Oleic acid (OA) and Dexamethasone (DM) served as negative and positive controls, respectively. Cells were stimulated with polyriboinosinic:polyribocytidylic acids (poly I:C). The protein contents and mRNA expression levels of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1beta and IL-8 were evaluated with multiplex fluorescent bead immunoassay (FBI) and real time-PCR, respectively. In addition, the expression of inhibitory factor-kappaBalpha (I-kappaBalpha) was evaluated with real time-PCR. RESULTS: The protein level of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1beta and IL-8 significantly increased after stimulation with Poly I:C. RV-D1 treatment at concentration of 1 muM decreased the protein level of TNF-alpha to 20.76 +/- 9.3% (P < 0.05), IL-6 to 43.54 +/- 14.16% (P < 0.001), IL-1beta to 46.73 +/- 15.93% (P > 0.05) and IL-8 to 51.15 +/- 13.01% (P < 0.05) compared with cells stimulated with poly I:C alone. Similarly, the mRNA levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1beta and IL-8 were significantly reduced after treatment with RV-D1. A highly significant dose response curve was demonstrated for RV-D1 treated HCE cells for TNF-alpha and IL-1beta.DM treatment decreased the protein content for all of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, similar results were demonstrated at the mRNA level. The anti-inflammatory effects of RV-D1 were similar to those of DM for TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-8. CONCLUSIONS: RV-D1 may serve as a potent anti-inflammatory agent in ocular surface inflammation, as evaluated in cultured HCE cells. The anti-inflammatory effects of RV-D1 were comparable to those of DM, and were mediated through nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) signal transduction.
