Summary of in vivo studies on SPMs in neurological immune-mediated disorders.

Reference Type of Study Model Pro-Resolving Mediator Delivery (Or Measurement If the Study Was Non-Interventional) Outcome
Paschalidis N et al., 2009 [60] Animal study MOG34-55 -induced EAE in AnxA1 null mice compared to MOG34-55 -induced EAE in control mice Absence of AnxA1 expression Measurement of disease activity in spinal cord; lymph-node cells (respectively, by isolation of T-cells and/or fixation with haematoxylin and eosin; and by test ELISA for Th1/Th17 cytokine profile) ↓ signs of the disease in AnxA1 null mice compared to wild type mice
↓ infiltration of T cells in the spinal cord of AnxA1 null mice compared to wild type
Huitinga I et al., 1998 [65] Animal study EAE rats (MS mouse model) AnxA1 Intracerebroventricular administration ↓ neurological severity
Poisson LM, 2015 [66] Animal study EAE rats (MS mouse model) RvD1 Oral administration Attenuation of disease progression by suppressing autoreactive T cells and inducing an M2 phenotype of monocytes/macrophages and resident brain microglial cells
Derada Troletti C et al., 2021 [67] Animal study EAE rats (MS mouse model) LXA4 Intraperitoneal injection Improvement of EAE clinical symptoms and inhibit CD4+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration into the CNS
Derada Troletti C et al., 2021 [67] In vivo and in vitro study Human T cells from healthy donors and patients with relapsing-remitting MS LXA4 Measurement of T-cell functions ↓ encephalitogenic Th1 and Th17 effector functions
Sánchez-Fernández A et al., 2022 [68] Animal study EAE rats (MS mouse model) MaR1 Intraperitoneal injection Suppression of various pro-inflammatory cytokines,
↓ number of Th1 cells
↑ of Tregs
polarization of macrophages towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype
Prüss H et al., 2013 [69] Human study MS patients RvD1
NDP1
CSF levels ↑ of RvD1
Only detection of NDP1

LTB4
CSF levels RvD1 ↓
LTB4 ↑
Luo B et al., 2016 [73] Animal study EAN (experimental autoimmune neuritis) model RvD1 Intraperitoneal injection Macrophage phagocytosis of apoptotic T cells in PNS, ↑ TGFβ by macrophages, ↑ local Treg cell counts, and promotion of inflammation resolution and disease recovery
