Monocyte eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (EIF2) signalling differentiates 17-hydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid levels and pain (2025)
Journal Article
Gowler, P. R., Arendt-Tranholm, A., Turnbull, J., Jha, R. R., Onion, D., Kelly, T., Kouraki, A., Millns, P., Gohir, S., Franks, S., Barrett, D. A., Valdes, A. M., & Chapman, V. (2025). Monocyte eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (EIF2) signalling differentiates 17-hydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid levels and pain. iScience, 28(2), Article 111862. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2025.111862

Our goal was to probe the potential transcriptomic basis for the relationship between plasma levels of the specialized pro-resolving precursor, 17-hydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid (17-HDHA) and chronic pain. Participants with osteoarthritis (average age... Read More about Monocyte eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (EIF2) signalling differentiates 17-hydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid levels and pain.

Modelling the role of enzymatic pathways in the metabolism of docosahexaenoic acid by monocytes and its association with osteoarthritic pain (2024)
Journal Article
Franks, S. J., Gowler, P. R., Dunster, J. L., Turnbull, J., Gohir, S. A., Kelly, A., Valdes, A. M., King, J. R., Barrett, D. A., Chapman, V., & Preston, S. (2024). Modelling the role of enzymatic pathways in the metabolism of docosahexaenoic acid by monocytes and its association with osteoarthritic pain. Mathematical Biosciences, 374, Article 109228. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mbs.2024.109228

Chronic pain is a major cause of disability and suffering in osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Endogenous specialised pro-resolving molecules (SPMs) curtail pro-inflammatory responses. One of the SPM intermediate oxylipins, 17-hydroxydocasahexaenoic acid...

Serum levels of hydroxylated metabolites of arachidonic acid cross-sectionally and longitudinally predict knee pain progression: an observational cohort study. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 32(8), 990-1000. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2024.04.006

Objective: To examine associations between serum oxylipins, which regulate tissue repair and pain signalling, and knee pain/radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) at baseline and knee pain at 3 year follow-up.

Method: Baseline, and 3 year follow-up, kne... Read More about Serum levels of hydroxylated metabolites of arachidonic acid cross-sectionally and longitudinally predict knee pain progression: an observational cohort study.

The Effect of Acute Knee Injuries and Related Knee Surgery on Serum Levels of Pro- and Anti-inflammatory Lipid Mediators and Their Associations With Knee Symptoms. (2024)
Journal Article
Turnbull, J., Jha, R. R., Barrett, D. A., Valdes, A. M., Alderson, J., Williams, A., Vincent, T. L., Watt, F. E., & Chapman, V. (2024). The Effect of Acute Knee Injuries and Related Knee Surgery on Serum Levels of Pro- and Anti-inflammatory Lipid Mediators and Their Associations With Knee Symptoms. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 52(4), 987-997. https://doi.org/10.1177/03635465241228209

Despite an acute knee injury being a major risk factor for osteoarthritis, the factors that initiate and maintain this risk of longer-term knee symptoms are poorly understood. Bioactive lipids derived from omega-3 and -6 polyunsaturated fatty acids h...
