Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of permanent visual impairment in the elderly. Blue light (BL) has been reported to cause retinal damage and contribute to the onset and development of severe AMD. N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine (A2E), a lipofuscin fluorophore, accumulates with ageing in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. Once exposed to BL, A2E easily oxidizes to A2E-epoxides, causing oxidative-stress injury to the retina. Lipoxin A4 (LXA4), an endogenous anti-antioxidant lipid, plays a key role in multiple organs by binding to the formyl-peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1). This study examined the protective effects of LXA4 on oxidative–stress injury induced by BL exposure, and clarified the underlying mechanisms in cultured RPE cells and Balb-c mice. Methods: LXA4 diluent was orally administered to mice before retinal degeneration was established. Optical coherence tomography, retinal histology, and RPE cell injury were assessed. Results: LXA4 administration significantly ameliorated retinal damage as evidenced by the thicknesses of the retinal layers and the tight junctions of RPE cells in vivo. LXA4 inhibited BL-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduced tight junctions, and the death of A2E-laden RPE cells. LXA4 also potently increased the expression of haem oxygenase-1 (HO1) and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), probably by decreasing the association between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and Kelch-like ECH (Epichlorohydrin) -associated protein 1 (Keap1), and ameliorating NRF2 nuclear translocation and the antioxidant response element (ARE) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) binding activity. Conclusions: Our results showed that LXA4 ameliorated retinal degeneration, and should be considered in the prevention and treatment of AMD.
