Resolvin (Rv) D2, a member of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs), plays a protective role in various diseases by facilitating resolution. However, whether RvD2 participates in the pathogenesis of HF is still unclear. Our study demonstrated that RvD2 treatment mitigated cardiac remodeling and improved cardiac function in HF mice induced by pressure overload. The absence of G protein-coupled receptor 18 (GPR18), an endogenous receptor for RvD2, abolished the beneficial effects of RvD2 on HF. Additionally, RvD2 inhibited inflammatory responses and Ly6C<sup>high</sup> macrophage polarization during both early and late inflammatory stages involved in HF. Further investigation revealed that bone marrow transplantation from GPR18 deficient mice into WT mice blocked the protective effects of RvD2 in HF mice. Moreover, GPR18 deficiency impeded RvD2's capacity to downregulate inflammatory responses and Ly6C<sup>high</sup> macrophage polarization. Consistent with experiments in vivo, RvD2 treatment in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) reduced inflammatory responses through its receptor GPR18. Mechanistically, RvD2 suppressed the phosphorylation of STAT1 and NF-κB p65, and the effects of RvD2 were reversed by the application of STAT1 or NF-κB p65 agonists in BMDMs. In conclusion, RvD2/GPR18 axis improved cardiac remodeling and function in pressure overload-induced HF mice by modulating macrophages phenotype via STAT1 and NF-κB p65 pathways.

In the presence of monoglycerol and diacylglycerol (MAG and DAG), purified PLA2G4D generates DAG and triacylglycerol, respectively. The enzyme also transfers fatty acids between phospholipids and from phospholipids to acylglycerols. Overexpression of PLA2G4D in COS7 cells enhances the incorporation of polyunsaturated fatty acids into triacylglycerol stores and induces the accumulation of lysophospholipids. In the presence of exogenously added MAG, the enzyme strongly increases cellular DAG formation, while MAG levels are decreased. PLA2G4D is not or poorly detectable in commonly used cell lines. It is expressed in keratinocytes, where it is strongly upregulated by proinflammatory cytokines. Pla2g4d-deficient mouse keratinocytes exhibit complex lipidomic changes in response to cytokine treatment, indicating that PLA2G4D is involved in the remodeling of the lipidome under inflammatory conditions. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that PLA2G4D modulates fundamental biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, and signaling. Together, our observations demonstrate that PLA2G4D has broad substrate specificity for fatty acid donor and acceptor lipids, allowing the acyl-CoA-independent synthesis of both phospholipids and acylglycerols.
