Postoperative adhesions and scarring are the particular complication after strabismus surgery, for which there is currently no comprehensive treatment available. Preventing inflammation and fibrosis in the extraocular muscle are crucial for treatment of postoperative adhesions. In the present study, we found that administration of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) attenuated postoperative inflammation and fibroproliferation through activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha), thus prevented scar formation. Inhibition of PEA degradation by N-Acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA) inhibitor F96 led to the same pharmacological results. PPAR alpha activation suppressed both canonical and non-canonical TGF beta signaling. Mechanistically, we found that PPAR alpha directly bound to TGF beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), thus preventing its hyperphosphorylation and the activation of downstream p38 and JNK1/2 signaling. Taken together, current study suggested that PEA could be a novel therapeutic approach for postoperative adhesions after strabismus surgery.
