RESUMO
The liver is a parenchymatous organ closely related to immunity, detoxification and metabolism of the three major nutrients. The inflammatory response is a protective mechanism of the body to eliminate harmful stimuli. However, continuous inflammatory stimulation leads to occurrence of many liver diseases and brings great social burden. Resolvin D1, a member of the specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators family, exerts anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant stress, anti-fibrosis, anti-apoptotic, and anti-tumor effects by binding to ALX/FPR2 or GPR32. RvD1 plays an important role and has great therapeutic potential in liver diseases, which has been validated in multiple models of preclinical disease. This review will provide a detailed summary of the role of RvD1 in different liver diseases, including acute liver injury, liver ischemia/reperfusion injury, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, and liver cancer, so as to help people have a more comprehensive understanding of RvD1 and promote its further research.
