Specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) are known for their anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving actions. The aim of the present study was to find new functions of the SPM resolvin D1n-3 DPA (RvD1n-3 DPA) on oral epithelial cells. As a starting point, we used a dataset obtained by RNA high-throughput sequencing of oral epithelial cells exposed to TNF-α and RvD1n-3 DPA versus TNF-α alone. GOrilla enrichment analysis showed that the actin cytoskeleton was significantly overrepresented after adjustment for multiple hypothesis testing. As actin, amongst others, is closely related to cell migration, we then explored whether RvD1n-3 DPA can modulate oral epithelial cell migration. To this end, we used an in vitro cell migration model, including TNF-α treatment, to mimic an inflammatory cell state. The analysis revealed that RvD1n-3 DPA increased oral epithelial cell migration in the presence but not in the absence of TNF-α. Addition of RvD1n-3 DPA also induced F actin accumulation around the cell nucleus, indicating that RvD1n-3 DPA potentially can mediate processes of intracellular transport. This indicates that this lipid mediator may be a promising therapeutic candidate in oral mucosal wound healing.
