Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an anionic phospholipid component in endogenous high-density lipoprotein (HDL). With the intrinsic anti-inflammatory effects of PS and the correlation between PS content and HDL functions, it was hypothesized that incorporating PS would enhance the therapeutic effects of HDL mimetic particles. To test this hypothesis, a series of synthetic high-density lipoproteins (sHDLs) were prepared with an apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-1) mimetic peptide, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl--3-phosphocholine (POPC), and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl--3-phospho-l-serine (POPS). Incorporating PS was found to improve the particle stability of sHDLs. Moreover, increasing the PS content in sHDLs enhanced the anti-inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages and endothelial cells. The incorporation of PS had no negative impact on cholesterol efflux capacity, cholesterol mobilization, and did not affect the pharmacokinetic profiles of sHDLs. Such results suggest the therapeutic potential of PS-containing sHDLs for inflammation resolution in atherosclerosis and other inflammatory diseases.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by recurrent eczematous lesions and severe itching, for which clinical treatments are limited. Selectively inhibiting Janus Kinase 3 (JAK3) and tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (TEC) family kinases is proposed as a promising strategy to treat AD with possible reduced side effects and enhanced efficacy. In this study, we developed a dual JAK3/TEC family kinase inhibitor ZZB, which demonstrated potent inhibitory activity with IC values of 0.
