  • Publication number: 20200113861
    Abstract: Methods of modulating healing response to vascular injury and/or vascular scarring in a subject are provided. As such, aspects of the disclosure relate to the use of pro-resolving lipid mediators to modulate inflammation and/or restenosis of a vascular wall. Another aspect of the disclosure relates to the use of pro-resolving lipid mediators to modulate a biological activity of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) or vascular endothelial cells (VEC). Pro-resolving lipid mediators that find use in the subject methods include derivatives of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as resolvins, protectins, lipoxins and maresins and their therapeutically stable analogs. Also provided are vascular devices and compositions for use in the subject methods. Such methods, devices and compositions find use in a variety of applications, including applications related to treatment of vascular injuries and vascular scarring (e.g.
