Resolvin D1 treatment improves the resolution of synovial inflammation. (A) MACS isolated human CD14+ synovial macrophage were stimulated to M1 phenotype and then treated with RvD1 for 24 h, qPCR analysis of pro-inflammatory M1-like genes were performed in vitro. Graphs represent mean ± SD (n = 4). *p < 0.05. (B,C) FACS analysis of synovial macrophage from CD- or HFD-fed mice with or without OA after RvD1 treatment. (D) Same biopsies were further stained with MHC II to analyse the population of M1 activated macrophage. (E) Knee sections were stained with F4/80, iNOS, and CD206 to determine the phenotype of synovial macrophage in activated synovium from HFD-fed mice with or without OA after RvD1 treatment. Scale bars, 100 µm. RvD1: resolvin D1; Veh: placebo (1% ethanol in saline).
