摘要
Inflammation is essential to protect the host from exogenous and endogenous dangers that ultimately lead to tissue injury. The consequent tissue repair is intimately associated with the fate of the inflammatory response. Restoration of tissue homeostasis is achieved through a balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory/pro-resolving mediators. In chronic inflammatory diseases such balance is compromised, resulting in persistent inflammation and impaired healing. During the last two decades the glucocorticoid-regulated protein Annexin A1 (AnxA1) has emerged as a potent pro-resolving mediator acting on several facets of the innate immune system. Here, we review the therapeutic effects of AnxA1 on tissue healing and repairing together with the molecular targets responsible for these complex biological properties.
