Pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang berjudul “Penyuluhan Potensi Omega-3 untuk Meningkatkan Sistem Imun (Terutama Dalam Masa Pandemi Covid19) Secara Virtual” memiliki sasaran khalayak umum khususnya para orang tua yang menyiapkan gizi terbaik untuk anak-anaknya dalam meningkatkan imunitas tubuh. Ikan memiliki kandungan asam lemak omega 3 tertinggi dibandingkan dengan protein lain, seperti berturut-turut tiram, udang, lobster, sapi, ayam dan kambing. Asam lemak omega-3 dapat menurunkan kadar trigliserida dan total kolesterol dalam darah serta dapat meningkatkan metabolisme lemak. Asam lemak yang berhubungan dengan kesehatan adalah EPA (Eicosa Pentaenoic Acid). Sedangkan asam lemak yang berhubungan dengan kecerdasan dikenal dengan DHA (Docosa Hexaenoic acid). Oleh karena itu, pengabdian masyarakat untuk mengenalkan potensi omega 3 pada ikan untuk meningkatkan imunitas tubuh perlu dilakukan. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mensosialisasikan pentingnya omega 3 ikan dalam meningkatkan imunitas tubuh dan sebagai agen anti inflamasi. Penyuluhan secara virtual ini diikuti oleh 85 peserta. Hasil kuisioner menunjukkan bahwa sebelum penyuluhan 41,7% peserta belum mengetahui mengenai potensi omega 3 pada ikan untuk meningkatkan sistem imun, 33,3% sedikit mengetahui, dan 25% sudah mengetahui. Setelah penyuluhan, presentase kepuasan mencapai 80.28%. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa penyuluhan mengenai potensi omega 3 pada ikan untuk meningkatkan sistem imun telah berhasil sesuai tujuan.

14S,22-Dihydroxy-docosa-4Z,7Z,10Z,12E,16Z,19Z-hexaenoic acid (maresin-L1) and 14R,22-dihydroxy-docosa-4Z,7Z,10Z, 12E,16Z,19Z-hexaenoic acid (maresin-L2) were chemically synthesized. They were identical to activated macrophage-produced counterparts and their total synthesis was highly stereoselective, as revealed by chiral LC-UV-MS/MS analysis. The synthesis involved the following steps: (1) kinetic resolution of a racemic allylic alcohol by the asymmetric epoxidation; (2) transformation of the epoxy alcohol to γ-hydroxyenal derivative; and (3) the Wittig reaction to furnish the Z-olefin.

And Function

The essential fatty acid DHA (22:6, omega-3 or n-3) is enriched in and required for the membrane biogenesis and function of photoreceptor cells (PRC), synapses, mitochondria, etc. of the CNS. PRC DHA becomes an acyl chain at the sn-2 of phosphatidylcholine (PC), amounting to more than 50% of the PRC outer segment phospholipids, where phototransduction takes place. Very long chain PUFAs (VLC-PUFAs,n-3, ≥ 28 carbons) are at the sn-1 of this PC molecular species and interact with rhodopsin. PRC shed their tips (DHA-rich membrane disks) daily, which in turn are phagocytized by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), where DHA is recycled back to PRC inner segments to be used for the biogenesis of new photoreceptor membranes. Here, we review the structures and stereochemistry of novel elovanoid (ELV)-N32 and ELV-N34 to be ELV-N32: (14Z,17Z,20R,21E,23E,25Z,27S,29Z)-20,27-dihydroxydo-triaconta-14,17,21,23,25,29-hexaenoic acid; ELV-N34: (16Z,19Z,22R,23E,25E,27Z,29S,31Z)-22,29-dihydroxytetra-triaconta-16,19,23,25,27,31-hexaenoic acid. ELVs are low-abundance, high-potency, protective mediators. Their bioactivity includes enhancing of anti-apoptotic and pro-survival protein expression with concomitant downregulation of pro-apoptotic proteins when RPE is confronted with uncompensated oxidative stress (UOS). ELVs also target PRC/RPE senescence gene programming, the senescence secretory phenotype in the interphotoreceptor matrix (IPM), as well as inflammaging (chronic, sterile, low-grade inflammation). An important lesson on neuroprotection is highlighted by the ELV mediators that target the terminally differentiated PRC and RPE, sustaining a beautifully synchronized renewal process. The role of ELVs in PRC and RPE viability and function uncovers insights on disease mechanisms and the development of therapeutics for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and other pathologies.

Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by hemolytic anemia in association with acute and chronic life-threatening clinical complications. Acute vaso-occlusive crisis (VOCs) are the main cause of hospitalization for SCD patients. In VOCs, amplified inflammatory response plays a key role in acute organ damage. Pro-Resolving lipid mediators such as resolvins (Rv) accelerate resolution of acute inflammation in different models, indicating that stimulation of endogenous resolution of inflammatory processes may be an additional strategy in limiting tissue damage. Recent data suggest beneficial effects of Rvs in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) related tissue injury. Here, we study the effects of Rvs on a model of acute VOCs using humanized SCD mice (Hbatm1(HBA)Tow Hbbtm2(HBG1,HBB*)Tow). We treated SCD and control healthy mice (AA, Hbatm1(HBA)Tow Hbbtm3(HBG1,HBB)Tow) (n =6-7 animals in each group) with RvD1, 7S, 8R, 17S- trihydroxy-docosa-4Z, 9E, 11E, 13Z, 15E, 19Z-hexaenoic acid, 17R- RvD1, 7S, 8R, 17R- trihydroxy-docosa-4Z, 9E, 11E, 13Z, 15E, 19Z-hexaenoic acid; RvD2, 7S, 16R, 17S-trihydroxy-docosa-4Z, 8E, 10Z, 12E, 14E, 19Z-hexaenoic acid. Mice were treated with RvD1 and RvD2 at the dose of 2.5 ug/Kg by gavage 1 hour (hr) before H/R stress (10 hrs 8% oxygen followed by 3 hrs reoxygenation), which we have used in the past to mimic acute VOCs. We found that RvD1 and RvD2 significantly reduced the H/R-induced (i) increase in neutrophil count; (ii) lung inflammatory cell infiltrate, mucus and thrombi formation; (iii) glomerular inflammatory cell infiltration, glomerular sclerosis and thrombi formation. In the lung of H/R SCD mice, RvD1 prevented the H/R induced up-regulation of (i) cytokines such as MCP2, IL-6 and ET-1; (ii) vascular endothelial activation markers (VCAM-1 and ICAM-1; (iii) cytoprotective systems such as Prx6 and HO-1. In the kidney of H/R SCD mice, RvD1 significantly reduced H/R induced expression of IL-6 and ET-1 as well as HO-1. Our data indicate that RvD1 and RvD2 modulating inflammatory responses related to H/R in SCD, protect sickle cell target organs, and foster resolution. Thus, RvD1 and RvD2 might represent a novel therapeutic approach for acute VOCs in SCD. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

The endogenous cellular and molecular mechanisms that control acute inflammation and its resolution are of wide interest. Using self-resolving inflammatory exudates and lipidomics, we have identified a new pathway involving biosynthesis of potent antiinflammatory and proresolving mediators from the essential fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by macrophages (MΦs). During the resolution of mouse peritonitis, exudates accumulated both 17-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid, a known marker of 17S-D series resolvin (Rv) and protectin biosynthesis, and 14S-hydroxydocosa-4Z,7Z,10Z,12E,16Z,19Z-hexaenoic acid from endogenous DHA. Addition of either DHA or 14S-hydroperoxydocosa-4Z,7Z,10Z,12E,16Z,19Z-hexaenoic acid to activated MΦs converted these substrates to novel dihydroxy-containing products that possessed potent antiinflammatory and proresolving activity with a potency similar to resolvin E1, 5S,12R,18R-trihydroxyeicosa-6Z,8E,10E,14Z,16E-pentaenoic acid, and protectin D1, 10R,17S-dihydroxydocosa-4Z,7Z,11E,13E,15Z,19Z-hexaenoic acid. Stable isotope incorporation, intermediate trapping, and characterization of physical and biological properties of the products demonstrated a novel 14-lipoxygenase pathway, generating bioactive 7,14-dihydroxydocosa-4Z,8,10,12,16Z,19Z-hexaenoic acid, coined MΦ mediator in resolving inflammation (maresin), which enhances resolution. These findings suggest that maresins and this new metabolome may be involved in some of the beneficial actions of DHA and MΦs in tissue homeostasis, inflammation resolution, wound healing, and host defense.
