Abstract
Phospholipids are key biomolecules with important roles as components of membranes, lipoproteins and as signalling molecules. However, phospholipids are quite prone to oxidation. Upon oxidation they generate several types of oxidation products including long chain oxidation products, as hydroperoxyl and hydroxy derivatives, and highly reactive oxidation products, like small aldehydes and truncated oxidized phospholipids. The formation of protein adducts with small electrophilic aldehydes (like malondialdehyde) is now well studied, however, the aggregation of proteins with truncated oxidized phospholipids lacks research. This paper provides a short overview of the formation of protein adducts with truncated oxidized phospholipids as well as a gathering of the research on this topic. The literature found reports the synthesis, detection and fragmentation of this type of adducts, mainly focusing on truncated oxidized phospholipid' products from phosphatidylcholine class and few peptides and proteins, as human serum albumin and Apo B100, leaving unattended the screening in vivo and in disease correlation, thus lacking possible association with their biological role. These adducts are a consequence of oxidative modifications to important biomolecules and their involvement in the organism is still unclear, revealing the urgent need for more investigation in this area.

Abstract
Synchronized ferroptosis contributes to nephron loss in acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the propagation signals and the underlying mechanisms of the synchronized ferroptosis for renal tubular injury remain unresolved. Here we report that platelet-activating factor (PAF) and PAF-like phospholipids (PAF-LPLs) mediated synchronized ferroptosis and contributed to AKI. The emergence of PAF and PAF-LPLs in ferroptosis caused the instability of biomembranes and signaled the cell death of neighboring cells. This cascade could be suppressed by PAF-acetylhydrolase (II) (PAFAH2) or by addition of antibodies against PAF. Genetic knockout or pharmacological inhibition of PAFAH2 increased PAF production, augmented synchronized ferroptosis and exacerbated ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced AKI. Notably, intravenous administration of wild-type PAFAH2 protein, but not its enzymatically inactive mutants, prevented synchronized tubular cell death, nephron loss and AKI. Our findings offer an insight into the mechanisms of synchronized ferroptosis and suggest a possibility for the preventive intervention of AKI.

Abstract
Introduction: Lung cancer is one of the most frequently studied types of cancer and represents the most common and lethal neoplasm. Our previous research on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has revealed deep lipid profile reprogramming and redox status disruption in cancer patients. Lung cell membranes are rich in phospholipids that are susceptible to oxidation, leading to the formation of bioactive oxidized phosphatidylcholines (oxPCs). Persistent and elevated levels of oxPCs have been shown to induce chronic inflammation, leading to detrimental effects. However, recent reports suggest that certain oxPCs possess anti-inflammatory, pro-survival, and endothelial barrier-protective properties. Thus, we aimed to measure the levels of oxPCs in NSCLC patients and investigate their potential role in lung cancer. Methods: To explore the oxPCs profiles in lung cancer, we performed in-depth, multi-level metabolomic analyses of nearly 350 plasma and lung tissue samples from 200 patients with NSCLC, including adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the two most prevalent NSCLC subtypes and COPD patients as a control group. First, we performed oxPC profiling of plasma samples. Second, we analyzed tumor and non-cancerous lung tissues collected during the surgical removal of NSCLC tumors. Because of tumor tissue heterogeneity, subsequent analyses covered the surrounding healthy tissue and peripheral and central tumors. To assess whether the observed phenotypic changes in the patients were associated with measured oxPC levels, metabolomics data were augmented with data from medical records. Results: We observed a predominance of long-chain oxPCs in plasma samples and of short-chain oxPCs in tissue samples from patients with NSCLC. The highest concentration of oxPCs was observed in the central tumor region. ADC patients showed higher levels of oxPCs compared to the control group, than patients with SCC. Conclusion: The detrimental effects associated with the accumulation of short-chain oxPCs suggest that these molecules may have greater therapeutic utility than diagnostic value, especially given that elevated oxPC levels are a hallmark of multiple types of cancer.

Abstract
The generation of bioactive truncated oxidized phospholipids (Tr-OxPLs) from oxidation of cell-membrane or circulating lipoproteins is a common feature of various pathological states. Scavenger receptor CD36 is involved in lipid transport and acts as a receptor for Tr-OxPLs. Interestingly, Tr-OxPLs and CD36 are involved in endothelial dysfunction-derived acute lung injury, but the precise mechanistic connections remain unexplored. In the present study, we investigated the role of CD36 in mediating pulmonary endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction caused by Tr-OxPLs. Our results demonstrated that the Tr-OxPLs KOdia-PC, Paz-PC, PGPC, PON-PC, POV-PC, and lysophosphocholine caused an acute EC barrier disruption as revealed by measurements of transendothelial electrical resistance and VE-cadherin immunostaining. More importantly, a synthetic amphipathic helical peptide, L37pA, targeting human CD36 strongly attenuated Tr-OxPL-induced EC permeability. L37pA also suppressed Tr-OxPL-induced endothelial inflammatory activation monitored by mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and adhesion molecules. In addition, L37pA blocked Tr-OxPL-induced NF-κB activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of Src kinase and VE-cadherin. The Src inhibitor SU6656 attenuated KOdia-PC-induced EC permeability and inflammation, but inhibition of the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, and TLR6 had no such protective effects. CD36-knockout mice were more resistant to Tr-OxPL-induced lung injury. Treatment with L37pA was equally effective in ameliorating Tr-OxPL-induced vascular leak and lung inflammation as determined by an Evans blue extravasation assay and total cell and protein content in BAL fluid. Altogether, these results demonstrate an essential role of CD36 in mediating Tr-OxPL-induced EC dysfunction and suggest a strong therapeutic potential of CD36 inhibitory peptides in mitigating lung injury and inflammation.

Abstract
Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) are present at basal levels in circulation of healthy individuals, but a substantial increase and changes in composition of OxPLs may rapidly occur during microbial infections, sepsis, and trauma. Specifically, truncated oxidized phospholipids (Tr-OxPLs) exhibit detrimental effects on pulmonary endothelium, yet their role on modulation of lung injury caused by bacterial pathogens remains to be elucidated. This study investigated the effects of Tr-OxPL species: KOdiA-PC, POV-PC, PON-PC, PAz-PC, PGPC, and Lyso-PC on endothelial permeability and inflammatory responses to gram-positive bacterial particles. Results showed that all six tested Tr-OxPLs augmented endothelial barrier disruption caused by heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus (HKSA) as determined by VE-cadherin immunostaining and monitoring transendothelial electrical resistance. In parallel, even moderate elevation of Tr-OxPLs augmented HKSA-induced activation of NF-κB, secretion of IL-6 and IL-8, and protein expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. In the mouse model of acute lung injury caused by intranasal injection of HKSA, intravenous Tr-OxPLs administration augmented HKSA-induced increase in BAL protein content and cell counts, tissue expression of TNFα, KC, IL1β, and CCL2, and promoted vascular leak monitored by lung infiltration of Evans Blue. These results suggest that elevated Tr-OxPLs act as critical risk factor worsening bacterial pathogen-induced endothelial dysfunction and lung injury.

Abstract
Truncated phospholipid oxidation products (Tr-OxPL) increase in blood circulation with aging; however, their role in the severity of vascular dysfunction and bacterial lung injury in aging groups remains poorly understood. We investigated the effects of six Tr-OxPL species: KOdiA-PC, POVPC, PONPC, PGPC, Paz-PC, and Lyso-PC on endothelial dysfunction and lung inflammation caused by heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus (HKSA) in young (aged 2-4 months) and old (aged 12-18 months) mice, organotypic culture of precisely cut lung slices, and endothelial cells (mLEC) isolated from young and old mice. HKSA and Tr-OxPL combination caused a higher degree of vascular leak, the accumulation of inflammatory cells and protein in bronchoalveolar lavage, and inflammatory gene expression in old mice lungs. HKSA caused a greater magnitude of inflammatory gene activation in cell and ex vivo cultures from old mice, which was further augmented by Tr-OxPLs. L37pA peptide targeting CD36 receptor attenuated Tr-OxPL-induced endothelial cell permeability in young and old mLEC and ameliorated KOdiA-PC-induced vascular leak and lung inflammation in vivo. Finally, CD36 knockout mice showed better resistance to KOdiA-PC-induced lung injury in both age groups. These results demonstrate the aging-dependent vulnerability of pulmonary vasculature to elevated Tr-OxPL, which exacerbates bacterial lung injury. CD36 inhibition is a promising therapeutic approach for improving pneumonia outcomes in aging population.

Abstract
It has been reported that metabolic disorders participate in the formation and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, the predictive value of metabolism-related genes (MRGs) in clinical outcome of ccRCC is still largely unknown. Herein, a novel metabolism-related signature was generated to assess the effect of MRGs on the prognosis of ccRCC patients. Important module MRGs were selected by differentially expressed analysis and WGCNA. Subsequently, the hub MRGs were screened via univariate cox regression as well as LASSO regression. A new metabolism-related signature of 6 hub MRGs (PAFAH2, ACADSB, ACADM, HADH, PYCR1 and ITPKA) was constructed, with a good prognostic prediction ability in the TCGA cohort. The prediction accuracy of this signature was further confirmed in both GSE22541 and FAHWMU cohort. Interestingly, this MRG risk signature was highly correlated with tumor mutation burden and immune infiltration in ccRCC. Notably, lower PAFAH2, a member of 6 MRGs, was found in ccRCC. Knockdown of PAFAH2 contributed to renal cancer cell proliferation and migration. Collectively, a 6-MRG prognostic risk signature is generated to estimate the prognostic status of ccRCC patients, providing a novel insight in the prognosis prediction and treatment of ccRCC.

Abstract
Non-genetic photostimulation, which allows for control over cellular activity via the use of cell-targeting phototransducers, is widely used nowadays to study and modulate/restore biological functions. This approach relies on non-covalent interactions between the phototransducer and the cell membrane, thus implying that cell conditions and membrane status can dictate the effectiveness of the method. For instance, although immortalized cell lines are traditionally used in photostimulation experiments, it has been demonstrated that the number of passages they undergo is correlated to the worsening of cell conditions. In principle, this could impact cell responsivity against exogenous stressors, including photostimulation. However, these aspects have usually been neglected in previous experiments. In this work, we investigated whether cell passages could affect membrane properties (such as polarity and fluidity). We applied optical spectroscopy and electrophysiological measurements in two different biological models: (i) an epithelial immortalized cell line (HEK-293T cells) and (ii) liposomes. Different numbers of cell passages were compared to a different morphology in the liposome membrane. We demonstrated that cell membranes show a significant decrease in ordered domains upon increasing the passage number. Furthermore, we observed that cell responsivity against external stressors is markedly different between aged and non-aged cells. Firstly, we noted that the thermal-disordering effect that is usually observed in membranes is more evident in aged cells than in non-aged ones. We then set up a photostimulation experiment by using a membrane-targeted azobenzene as a phototransducer (Ziapin2). As an example of a functional consequence of such a condition, we showed that the rate of isomerization of an intramembrane molecular transducer is significantly impaired in aged cells. The reduction in the photoisomerization rate translates in cells with a sustained reduction of the Ziapin2-related hyperpolarization of the membrane potential and an overall increase in the molecule fluorescence. Overall, our results suggest that membrane stimulation strongly depends on membrane order, highlighting the importance of cell passage during the characterization of the stimulation tools. This study can shine light on the correlation between aging and the development of diseases driven by membrane degradation as well as on the different cell responsivities against external stressors, such as temperature and photostimulation.

Abstract
Cholesterol-25-hydroxylase (CH25H), the biosynthetic enzyme for 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), is most highly expressed in the lung, but its role in lung biology is poorly defined. Recently, we reported that Ch25h is induced in monocyte-derived macrophages recruited to the airspace during resolution of lung inflammation and that 25HC promotes liver X receptor-dependent (LXR-dependent) clearance of apoptotic neutrophils by these cells. Ch25h and 25HC are, however, also robustly induced by lung-resident cells during the early hours of lung inflammation, suggesting additional cellular sources and targets. Here, using Ch25h-/- mice and exogenous 25HC in lung injury models, we provide evidence that 25HC sustains proinflammatory cytokines in the airspace and augments lung injury, at least in part, by inducing LXR-independent endoplasmic reticulum stress and endothelial leak. Suggesting an autocrine effect in endothelium, inhaled LPS upregulates pulmonary endothelial Ch25h, and non-hematopoietic Ch25h deletion is sufficient to confer lung protection. In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, airspace 25HC and alveolar macrophage CH25H were associated with markers of microvascular leak, endothelial activation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation, and clinical severity. Taken together, our findings suggest that 25HC deriving from and acting on different cell types in the lung communicates distinct, temporal LXR-independent and -dependent signals to regulate inflammatory homeostasis.

Abstract
Oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPCs) are implicated in chronic tissue damage. Hyperlipidemic LDL-R--deficient mice transgenic for an OxPC-recognizing IgM fragment (scFv-E06) are protected against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). To examine the effect of OxPC elimination at different stages of NAFLD progression, we used cre-dependent, adeno-associated virus serotype 8-mediated expression of the single-chain variable fragment of E06 (AAV8-scFv-E06) in hepatocytes of albumin-cre mice. AAV8-induced expression of scFv-E06 at the start of FPC diet protected mice from developing hepatic steatosis. Independently, expression of scFv-E06 in mice with established steatosis prevented the progression to hepatic fibrosis. Mass spectrometry-based oxophospho-lipidomics identified individual OxPC species that were reduced by scFv-E06 expression. In vitro, identified OxPC species dysregulated mitochondrial metabolism and gene expression in hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells. We demonstrate that individual OxPC species independently affect disease initiation and progression from hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis, and that AAV-mediated expression of scFv-E06 is an effective therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Purpose To examine the levels of 1-palmitoyl-2-(5-oxovaleroyl)-sn-glycero phosphatidylcholine (POVPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-glutaroyl-sn-glycero-phosphatidylcholine (PGPC) (the oxidized phosphatidylcholines) in HDL during the course of sepsis and to evaluate their prognostic value. Materials and Methods This prospective cohort pilot study enrolled 25 septic patients and 10 healthy subjects from 2020 to 2021. The HDLs were extracted from patient plasmas at day 1, 3 and 7 after sepsis onset and from healthy plasmas (total 81 plasma samples). These HDLs were then subjected to examining POVPC and PGPC by using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) system. We further measured the levels of 38 plasma cytokines by Luminex and evaluated the correlation of HDL-POVPC level with these cytokines. Patients were further stratified into survivors and non-survivors to analyze the association of HDL-POVPC level with 28-day mortality. Results Septic patients exhibited significant increase of HDL-POVPC at day 1, 3 and 7 after sepsis onset (POVPC-D1, p=0.0004; POVPC-D3, p=0.033; POVPC-D7, p=0.004, versus controls). HDL-PGPC was detected only in some septic patients (10 of 25) but not in healthy controls. Septic patients showed a significant change of the plasma cytokines profile. The correlation assay showed that IL-15 and IL-18 levels were positively correlated with HDL-POVPC level, while the macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) level was negatively correlated with HDL-POVPC level. Furthermore, HDL-POVPC level in non-survivors was significantly increased versus survivors at day 1 and 3 (POVPC-D1, p=0.002; POVPC-D3, p=0.003). Area under ROC curves of POVPC-D1 and POVPC-D3 in predicting 28-day mortality were 0.828 and 0.851. POVPC-D1and POVPC-D3 were the independent risk factors for the death of septic patients (p=0.046 and 0.035). Conclusions HDL-POVPC was persistently increased in the course of sepsis. POVPC-D1 and POVPC-D3 were significantly correlated with 28-mortality and might be valuable to predict poor prognosis.

Abstract
Heavy alcohol drinking has negative health effects in multiple organs. It predisposes lungs to inflammatory conditions associated with acute lung injury and increased incidence of pneumonia and sepsis, which may lead to death due to acute respiratory distress syndrome in some individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD). In general, rodent models of alcohol exposure either do not recapitulate multiple organ injuries as seen in humans or require longer duration to establish tissue injury and inflammation. The recently introduced NIAAA model of alcohol-induced liver injury, characterized by a marked increase in steatosis and liver damage with 10 days of a liquid diet containing 5% ethanol followed by a single ethanol binge (5 g/kg). Therefore, we employed this model to explore the status of surfactant phospholipids, oxidative stress, tissue injury markers and inflammatory cytokines in lungs. In lungs of C57BL/6J mice, the alcohol feeding significantly increased levels of the surfactant phospholipid dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) as well as the truncated oxidized phosphatidylcholines palmitoyl oxovaleryl phosphatidyl-choline (POVPC), palmitoyl glutaryl phosphatidyl-choline (PGPC), palmitoyl oxo-nonanoyl phosphatidyl-choline (ALDO-PC), and palmitoyl azelaoyl phosphatidyl-choline (PAzePC) at 9 h post-binge. Additionally, gene expression of the enzymes catalyzing lipid oxidation, such as arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (Alox15), prostaglandin synthase 2 (Ptgs2), Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) and NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1) were significantly increased. Furthermore, ethanol increased levels of the inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-17 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. In conclusion, the NIAAA alcohol feeding model might be suitable to study alcohol-induced lung injury and inflammation.

Abstract
Oxidized phospholipids that result from tissue injury operate as immunomodulatory signals that, depending on the context, lead to proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory responses. In this Perspective, we posit that cells of the innate immune system use the presence of oxidized lipids as a generic indicator of threat to the host. Similarly to how pathogen-associated molecular patterns represent general indicators of microbial encounters, oxidized lipids may be the most common molecular feature of an injured tissue. Therefore, microbial detection in the absence of oxidized lipids may indicate encounters with avirulent microorganisms. By contrast, microbial detection and detection of oxidized lipids would indicate encounters with replicating microorganisms, thereby inducing a heightened inflammatory and defensive response. Here we review recent studies supporting this idea. We focus on the biology of oxidized phosphocholines, which have emerged as context-dependent regulators of immunity. We highlight emerging functions of oxidized phosphocholines in dendritic cells and macrophages that drive unique inflammasome and migratory activities and hypermetabolic states. We describe how these lipids hyperactivate dendritic cells to stimulate antitumour CD8+ T cell immunity and discuss the potential implications of the newly described activities of oxidized phosphocholines in host defence.

Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), esterified to phospholipids, are susceptible to oxidation. They form oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) by oxygenases or reactive oxygen species (ROS), or both. These OxPLs are associated with various diseases, such as atherosclerosis, pulmonary injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and diabetes. Since many types of OxPLs seem to be generated in vivo, precise determination of their structural diversity is required to understand their potential structure-specific functions. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a powerful method to quantitatively measure the structural diversity of OxPLs present in biological samples. This review outlines recent advances in analytical methods for OxPLs and their physiological relevance in health and diseases.

Abstract
Intracellular platelet activating-factor acetylhydrolase type II (PAF-AH II) is a 40-kDa monomeric enzyme. It was originally identified as an enzyme that hydrolyzes the acetyl group of PAF (1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). As a member of phospholipase A2 super family, PAF-AH II has broad substrate specificity. It can hydrolyze phospholipids with relatively short-length or oxidatively modified sn-2 chains which endows it with various functions such as protection against oxidative stress, transacetylase activity and producing lipid mediators. PAF-AH II has been proven to be involved in several diseases such as allergic diseases, oxidative stress-induced injury and ischemia injury, thus it has drawn more attention from researchers. In this paper, we outline an entire summary of PAF-AH II, including its structure, substrate specificity, activity assay, inhibitors and biological activities.

Abstract
Oxidised phosphatidylcholines (OxPCs) are produced under conditions of elevated oxidative stress and can contribute to human disease pathobiology. However, their role in allergic asthma is unexplored. The aim of this study was to characterise the OxPC profile in the airways after allergen challenge of people with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) or mild asthma. The capacity of OxPCs to contribute to pathobiology associated with asthma was also to be determined.Using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from two human cohorts, OxPC species were quantified using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Murine thin-cut lung slices were used to measure airway narrowing caused by OxPCs. Human airway smooth muscle (HASM) cells were exposed to OxPCs to assess concentration-associated changes in inflammatory phenotype and activation of signalling networks.OxPC profiles in the airways were different between people with and without AHR and correlated with methacholine responsiveness. Exposing patients with mild asthma to allergens produced unique OxPC signatures that associated with the severity of the late asthma response. OxPCs dose-dependently induced 15% airway narrowing in murine thin-cut lung slices. In HASM cells, OxPCs dose-dependently increased the biosynthesis of cyclooxygenase-2, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and the production of oxylipins via protein kinase C-dependent pathways.Data from human cohorts and primary HASM cell culture show that OxPCs are present in the airways, increase after allergen challenge and correlate with metrics of airway dysfunction. Furthermore, OxPCs may contribute to asthma pathobiology by promoting airway narrowing and inducing a pro-inflammatory phenotype and contraction of airway smooth muscle. OxPCs represent a potential novel target for treating oxidative stress-associated pathobiology in asthma.

Abstract
Earlier studies investigating the pathogenesis of chronic vascular inflammation associated with atherosclerosis described pro-inflammatory and vascular barrier disruptive effects of lipid oxidation products accumulated in the sites of vascular lesion and atherosclerotic plaque. However, accumulating evidence including studies from our group suggests potent barrier protective and anti-inflammatory properties of certain oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) in the lung vascular endothelium. Among these OxPLs, oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachdonyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OxPAPC) causes sustained enhancement of lung endothelial cell (EC) basal barrier properties and protects against vascular permeability induced by a wide variety of agonists ranging from bacterial pathogens and their cell wall components, endotoxins, thrombin, mechanical insults, and inflammatory cytokines. On the other hand, truncated OxPLs cause acute endothelial barrier disruption and potentiate inflammation. It appears that multiple signaling mechanisms triggering cytoskeletal remodeling are involved in OxPLs-mediated regulation of EC barrier. The promising vascular barrier protective and anti-inflammatory properties exhibited by OxPAPC and its particular components that have been established in the cellular and animal models of sepsis and acute lung injury has prompted consideration of OxPAPC as a prototype therapeutic molecule. In this review, we will summarize signaling and cytoskeletal mechanisms involved in OxPLs-mediated damage, rescue, and restoration of endothelial barrier in various pathophysiological settings and discuss a future potential of OxPAPC in treating lung disorders associated with endothelial barrier dysfunction.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the elderly population (≥65 years of age). Additionally, age is widely reported as a risk factor for the development of ARDS. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms behind the increased risk of developing, and increased severity of, ARDS in the elderly population are not fully understood. This is compounded by the significant heterogeneity observed in patients with ARDS. With an aging population worldwide, a better understanding of these mechanisms could facilitate the development of therapies to improve outcomes in this population. In this review, the current clinical evidence of age as a risk factor and prognostic indicator in ARDS and the potential underlying mechanisms that may contribute to these factors are outlined. In addition, research on age-dependent treatment options and biomarkers, as well as future prospects for targeting these underlying mechanisms, are discussed.

Abstract
Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs), complex mixtures of phospholipid oxidation products generated during normal or pathological processes, are increasingly recognized to show bioactive effects on many cellular signalling pathways. There is a growing body of evidence showing that OxPLs play an important role in many diseases, so it is essential to define the specific role of OxPLs in different diseases for the design of disease therapies. In vastly diverse pathological processes, OxPLs act as pro-inflammatory agents and contribute to the progression of many diseases; in addition, they play a role in anti-inflammatory processes, promoting the dissipation of inflammation and inhibiting the progression of some diseases. In addition to participating in the regulation of inflammatory responses, OxPLs affect the occurrence and development of diseases through other pathways, such as apoptosis promotion. In this review, the different and even opposite effects of different OxPL molecular species are discussed. Furthermore, the specific effects of OxPLs in various diseases, as well as the receptor and cellular mechanisms involved, are summarized.

Abstract
Circulating and cell membrane phospholipids undergo oxidation caused by enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms. As a result, a diverse group of bioactive oxidized phospholipids generated in these conditions have both beneficial and harmful effects on the human body. Increased production of oxidized phospholipid products with deleterious effects is linked to the pathogenesis of various cardiopulmonary disorders such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, acute lung injury (ALI), and inflammation. It has been determined that the contrasting biological effects of lipid oxidation products are governed by their structural variations. For example, full-length products of 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine oxidation (OxPAPC) have prominent endothelial barrier protective and anti-inflammatory activities while most of the truncated oxidized phospholipids induce vascular leak and exacerbate inflammation. The extensive studies from our group and other groups have demonstrated a strong potential of OxPAPC in mitigating a wide range of agonist-induced lung injuries and inflammation in pulmonary endothelial cell culture and rodent models of ALI. Concurrently, elevated levels of truncated oxidized phospholipids are present in aged mice lungs that potentiate the inflammatory agents-induced lung injury. On the other hand, increased levels of full length OxPAPC products accelerate ALI recovery by facilitating production of anti-inflammatory lipid mediator, lipoxin A4, and other molecules with anti-inflammatory properties. These findings suggest that OxPAPC-assisted lipid program switch may be a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of acute inflammatory syndromes. In this review, we will summarize the vascular-protective and deleterious aspects of oxidized phospholipids and discuss their therapeutic potential including engineering of stable analogs of oxidized phospholipids with improved anti-inflammatory and barrier-protective properties.
