Advancements in Understanding the Role of Oxylipins in Liver Injury and Liver Failure

End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is characterized by a dramatic deterioration of liver function, frequently accompanied by systemic inflammatory storms and multiple organ failures. Central to the onset and progression of ESLD, systemic inflammation arises from complex interactions among various inflammatory signaling molecules and immune cells within and beyond the liver. As key inflammatory modulatory molecules, bioactive oxylipins have been increasingly recognized for their complex molecular mechanisms implicated in various diseases. This review aims to summarize recent findings regarding the molecular and immunological mechanisms through which oxylipins contribute to the development of liver injury and failure, with emphasis on both substantial intrahepatic and extrahepatic immune and inflammatory dysregulation associated with ESLD. Furthermore, this review discusses the translational potential of targeting oxylipins for clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic intervention in ESLD.
