Controlled immune responses to infection and injury involve complex molecular signaling networks with coordinated and often opposing actions. Eicosanoids and related bioactive lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids constitute a major bioactive lipid network, which is among the most complex and challenging pathways to map in a physiological context. Eicosanoid signaling, similar to cytokine signaling and inflammasome formation, has been viewed as primarily a pro-inflammatory component of the innate immune response; however, recent advances in lipidomics have helped to elucidate unique eicosanoids and related docosanoids with anti-inflammatory and pro-resolution functions. This has advanced our overall understanding of the inflammatory response and its therapeutic implications. The induction of a pro- and anti-inflammatory eicosanoid storm through the activation of inflammatory receptors by infectious agents is reviewed.
