Maresin 2 is an anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mediator. Maresin 2 drives intestinal epithelial cell migration by activating the focal cell-matrix adhesion signaling pathway in primary human intestinal epithelial cells, thereby promoting mucosal wound repair. Maresin 2 alleviates nociceptive and anxiety-like behaviors in rats with type 1 diabetes by inhibiting IL-1β in the spinal cord and prefrontal cortex. Maresin 2 attenuates allergic airway inflammation in mice by inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, Th2-type immune responses, and oxidative stress. Maresin 2 inhibits inflammatory and neuropathic trigeminal neuralgia and reduces neuronal activation in the trigeminal ganglion. Maresin 2 promotes inflammation resolution and mucosal repair after DSS-induced colitis or biopsy-induced colonic mucosal injury.

In Vitro

Maresin 2 (200 nM; 16-24 h) enhances scratch wound closure and migration efficiency in HT29/B6 human intestinal epithelial cells when combined with 10 ng/mL TNFα/IFNγ, but has no effect on unstimulated cells[1].
Maresin 2 (200 nM; 16 h) activates the FAK-Src-paxillin and talin-vinculin focal adhesion signaling axes in HT29/B6 human intestinal epithelial cells when combined with 10 ng/mL TNFα/IFNγ, promoting pro-migration signaling at wound leading edges[1].

Immunofluorescence[1]

Cell Line: HT29/B6 human intestinal epithelial cells
Concentration: 200 nM
Incubation Time: 16 h

In Vivo

Maresin 2 (2 ng/g body weight; intraperitoneal injection; single dose; 24 h post-trauma) significantly increases the colonic mucosal wound healing rate to 47.67% at 72 h post-injury in a biopsy-induced colonic mucosal injury model of C57BL/6 mice[1].
Maresin 2 (2 ng/g body weight; intraperitoneal injection; administered on days 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 for a total of 5 times) significantly reduces disease activity and colonic mucosal injury in the 5% DSS-induced colitis model of C57BL/6 mice, with a histological colitis score of 3.951[1].
Maresin 2 (1-10 ng per rat; i.p.; administered daily for 2 consecutive days followed by every other day; on days 14-32 after streptozotocin induction) significantly alleviates mechanical hyperalgesia in streptozotocin-induced male Wistar diabetic rats (at doses of 1, 3 and 10 ng/rat), improves anxiety-like behavior at a dose of 3 ng/rat, and normalizes IL-1β levels in the spinal cord and prefrontal cortex[2].
Maresin 2 (1 ng per mouse; intravenous injection; for 4 consecutive days) exerts a protective effect on ovalbumin-induced asthma in female BALB/c mice, and alleviates airway inflammation, Th2 immune response, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and oxidative stress[3].
Maresin 2 (1-10 ng; intrathecal; single injection) significantly attenuates the acute and inflammatory phases of formalin-induced orofacial nociception in rats[5].
Maresin 2 (10 ng; administered twice on postoperative day 1 and day 3) prevents the development of thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical hyperalgesia in a rat model of postoperative orofacial pain[5].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
