The mediator lipidome in influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infection. (A) The graph summarizes common 6-PUFA- and 3-PUFA-derived bioactive and pro-resolving lipid mediators (AA, arachidonic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; and EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid). While severe influenza infection showed inhibition of protectin D1 (PD1) synthesis, severe SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with a significant reduction in E-series resolvin 3 (RvE3). (B) Lipid mediator grouping according to synthetic pathways. (C) Transcriptional regulation of key enzymes involved in lipid mediator synthesis in PBMCs and BALF cells from patients affected by COVID-19.
