Reducing Glucocorticoid Burden in Lupus with Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Docosahexaenoic Acid Augments Prednisone Efficacy in Maintaining Cyclophosphamide-Induced Remission of Preclinical Lupus Nephritis

Ashley N. Anderson, Olivia F. McDonald, Shayla-Rae S. Johnson…·James J. Pestka

This study shows that combining docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) with prednisone (PDN) better maintains remission in preclinical lupus nephritis than either treatment alone.

Omega-3 Fatty Acid Synergy with Glucocorticoid in Lupus Macrophages: Targeting Pathogenic Pathways to Reduce Steroid Dependence

Lauren K. Heine, Rance Nault, Jalen Jackson…·Olivia F. McDonald

This study shows that omega-3 fatty acids and glucocorticoids synergistically suppress inflammatory gene expression in SLE macrophages, promoting a pro-resolving M2 phenotype and potentially reducing steroid dependence.
