摘要

Chronic inflammatory diseases are a significant global burden and are associated with dysregulated resolution of inflammation. Therefore, promoting the process of resolution is a promising therapeutic approach. This study presents the potent anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving effects of a natural product-derived compound called C81. Administration of C81 in a therapeutic window resolved inflammation in the murine imiquimod-induced psoriasis model, and reduced microglial infiltration in a laser-induced choroidal neovascularisation model. Investigations into the underlying mechanisms of C81 identified the DYRK1B/STAT3 axis as a new regulator of inflammatory processes in leukocytes. The inhibition of DYRK1B by C81 resulted in attenuated STAT3 phosphorylation. The depletion of STAT3-regulated gene expression led to the inhibition of leukocyte adhesion and migration due to reduced integrin activation, and in addition to the inhibition of the release of pro-inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and eicosanoids. Importantly, the pro-resolving effects of C81 included the cell type-specific induction of apoptosis in neutrophils and a subsequent increase in efferocytosis. In conclusion, we report the DYRK1B/STAT3 axis as a novel and promising therapeutic target for activating the resolution of inflammation.
