| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We demonstrate that dietary supplementation of ω-3 LCPUFAs mediate choroidal neovessel regression with leukocyte recruitment and inflammatory reduction in choroidal neovascular lesions. Furthermore, we show that a diet enriched in ω-3 LCPUFAs suppressed uveitis in mice in association with inhibition of Th1 and Th17 cell function. cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases target the ω-3 double bond, resulting in an accumulation of 17,18-epoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (17,18-EEQ) derived from EPA, one of major ω-3 LCPUFAs.
In current study, we examined the anti-inflammatory properties of these molecules and have shown that 17,18-EEQ suppressed intraocular inflammation, as evaluated both clinically and histologically, in mice with EAU by inhibiting both systemic and retinal Th1 and Th17 cells.
