The disturbance of the immune homeostasis caused by infection is decisive for multiple organ dysfunction caused by sepsis. Both the th17 cell and the regulatory cell(Tregs) are important components of the immune system and play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis. In this study, we explored the effect of Maresin1, an emerging specific pro-inflammatory mediator, on the balance of Th17/Treg in sepsis, and investigated the underlying mechanism. We used the male C57BL/6 mice to establish the model of sepsis-induced lung injury by cecal ligation and puncture to verify the protective effect of Maresin1. Our study showed that Maresin1 could significantly inhibit the excessive inflammatory response and promote the inflammation regression in the process of sepsis-induced acute lung injury, thereby reducing lung damage and improving lung function. These effects were accompanied with the regulation of Maresin1 on the Th17/Treg balance in the early stages of sepsis. We demonstrated that Maresin1 has a certain effect on increasing the number of Treg and decreasing the number of Th17 cells in the early stages of sepsis, which is consistent with its effect on STAT3/RORγt and STAT5/Foxp3 signal pathways. Our study elucidated for the first time the relationship between Maresin1 and Th17/Treg balance in sepsis-induced acute lung injury.
