Abstract
Lipoxins (LXs) are a class of endogenous bioactive lipid mediators that are involved in the regulation of inflammation. They exert immunomodulatory effects by regulating the behaviour of various immune cells, including neutrophils, macrophages, and T and B cells, by promoting the clearance of apoptotic neutrophils. This helps to dampen inflammation and promote tissue repair. LXs regulate the expression of many inflammatory genes by modulating the levels of transcription factors, such as nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), activator protein-1 (AP-1), nerve growth factor-regulated factor 1A binding protein 1 (NGF), and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ), which are elevated in various diseases, such as respiratory tract diseases, renal diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infections. Lipoxin-mediated signaling is involved in chronic inflammation, cancer, diabetes-associated kidney disease, lung injury, liver injury, endometriosis, respiratory tract diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, and retinal degeneration. In this study, we systematically investigated the intricate network of lipoxin signaling by analyzing the relevant literature. The resulting map comprised 467 molecules categorized as activation/inhibition, enzyme catalysis, gene and protein expression, molecular associations, and translocation events. This map serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complexity of lipoxin signaling and its impact on various cellular functions.
