Reduced coronary reactive hyperemia in mice was reversed by the soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor (t-AUCB): Role of adenosine A2A receptor and plasma oxylipins.

ABSTRACT: Coronary reactive hyperemia (CRH) protects the heart against ischemia. Adenosine A2AAR-deficient (A2AAR-/-) mice have increased expression of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH); the enzyme responsible for breaking down the cardioprotective epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs). sEH-inhibition enhances CRH, increases EETs, and modulates oxylipin profiles. We investigated the changes of oxylipins and their impact on CRH in A2AAR-/- and wild type (WT) mice. We hypothesized that the attenuated CRH in A2AAR-/- mice is mediated by changes in oxylipin profiles, and that it can be reversed by either sEH- or ?-hydroxylases-inhibition. Compared to WT mice, A2AAR-/- mice had attenuated CRH and changed oxylipin profiles, which were consistent between plasma and heart perfusate samples, including decreased EET/DHET ratios, and increased hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). Plasma oxylipns in A2AAR-/- mice indicated an increased proinflammatory state including increased ?-terminal HETEs, decreased epoxyoctadecaenoic/dihydroxyoctadecaenoic acids (EpOMEs/DiHOMEs) ratios, increased 9-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid, and increased prostanoids. Inhibition of either sEH or ?-hydroxylases reversed the reduced CRH in A2AAR-/- mice. In WT and sEH-/- mice, blocking A2AAR decreased CRH. These data demonstrate that A2AAR-deletion was associated with changes in oxylipin profiles, which may contribute to the attenuated CRH. Also, inhibition of sEH and ?-hydroxylases reversed the reduction in CRH.

Project description:BACKGROUND:It has been demonstrated that soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors (sEHIs) are protective against ischemia-induced lethal arrhythmias, but the mechanisms involved are unknown. Previously, we showed that sEHIs might reduce the incidence of ischemic arrhythmias by suppressing microRNA-1 (miR-1) in the myocardium. As miR-1 and miR-133 have the same proarrhythmic effects in the heart, we assumed that the beneficial effects of sEHIs might also relate to the regulation of miR-133. METHODS:A mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI) was established by ligating the coronary artery. The sEHI t-AUCB (trans-4-[4-(3-adamantan-1-yl-ureido)-cyclohexyloxy]-benzoic acid) was administered daily for 7 days before MI. Myocardial infarct size and cardiac function was assessed at 24 h post-MI. The miRNA expression profiles of sham and MI mice treated with or without t-AUCB were determined by microarray and verified by real-time PCR. The incidence of arrhythmias was assessed by in vivo electrophysiologic studies. The mRNA levels of miR-133, its target genes (KCNQ1 [potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1] and KCNH2 [potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2]), and serum response factor (SRF) were measured by real-time PCR; KCNQ1, KCNH2, and SRF protein levels were assessed by western blotting. RESULTS:We demonstrated that the treatment with sEHIs could reduce infarct size, improve cardia function, and prevent the development of cardiac arrhythmias in MI mice. The expression levels of 14 miRNAs differed between the sham and MI groups. t-AUCB treatment altered the expression of eight miRNAs: two were upregulated and six were downregulated. Of these, the muscle-specific miR-133 was downregulated in the ischemic myocardium. In line with this, up-regulation of miR-133 and down-regulation of KCNQ1 and KCNH2 mRNA/protein were observed in ischemic myocaridum, whereas administration of sEHIs produced an opposite effect. In addition, miR-133 overexpression inhibited expression of the target mRNA, whereas t-AUCB reversed the effects. Furthermore, SRF might participate in the negative regulation of miR-133 by t-AUCB. CONCLUSIONS:In MI mice, sEHI t-AUCB can repress miR-133, consequently stimulating KCNQ1 and KCNH2 mRNA and protein expression, suggesting a possible mechanism for its potential therapeutic application in ischemic arrhythmias.

Project description:Background Cerebral small vessel disease is associated with higher ratios of soluble-epoxide hydrolase derived linoleic acid diols (12,13-dihydroxyoctadecenoic acid [DiHOME] and 9,10-DiHOME) to their parent epoxides (12(13)-epoxyoctadecenoic acid [EpOME] and 9(10)-EpOME); however, the relationship has not yet been examined in stroke. Methods and Results Participants with mild to moderate small vessel stroke or large vessel stroke were selected based on clinical and imaging criteria. Metabolites were quantified by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Volumes of stroke, lacunes, white matter hyperintensities, magnetic resonance imaging visible perivascular spaces, and free water diffusion were quantified from structural and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (3 Tesla). Adjusted linear regression models were used for analysis. Compared with participants with large vessel stroke (n=30), participants with small vessel stroke (n=50) had a higher 12,13-DiHOME/12(13)-EpOME ratio (β=0.251, P=0.023). The 12,13-DiHOME/12(13)-EpOME ratio was associated with more lacunes (β=0.266, P=0.028) but not with large vessel stroke volumes. Ratios of 12,13-DiHOME/12(13)-EpOME and 9,10-DiHOME/9(10)-EpOME were associated with greater volumes of white matter hyperintensities (β=0.364, P<0.001; β=0.362, P<0.001) and white matter MRI-visible perivascular spaces (β=0.302, P=0.011; β=0.314, P=0.006). In small vessel stroke, the 12,13-DiHOME/12(13)-EpOME ratio was associated with higher white matter free water diffusion (β=0.439, P=0.016), which was specific to the temporal lobe in exploratory regional analyses. The 9,10-DiHOME/9(10)-EpOME ratio was associated with temporal lobe atrophy (β=-0.277, P=0.031). Conclusions Linoleic acid markers of cytochrome P450/soluble-epoxide hydrolase activity were associated with small versus large vessel stroke, with small vessel disease markers consistent with blood brain barrier and neurovascular-glial disruption, and temporal lobe atrophy. The findings may indicate a novel modifiable risk factor for small vessel disease and related neurodegeneration.

Project description:Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including epoxide-modified ?-3 and ?-6 fatty acids are made via oxidation to create highly polarized carbon-oxygen bonds crucial to their function as signaling molecules. A critical PUFA, arachidonic acid (ARA), is metabolized to a diverse set of lipids signaling molecules through cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX), cytochrome P450 epoxygenase, or cytochrome P450 hydroxylase; however, the majority of ARA is metabolized into anti-inflammatory epoxides via cytochrome P450 enzymes. These short-lived epoxide lipids are rapidly metabolized or inactivated by the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) into diol-containing products. sEH inhibition or knockout has been a practical approach to study the biology of the epoxide lipids, and has been shown to effectively treat inflammatory conditions in the preclinical models including gastrointestinal ulcers and colitis by shifting oxylipins to epoxide profiles, inhibiting inflammatory cell infiltration and activation, and enhancing epithelial cell defense via increased mucin production, thus providing further evidence for the role of sEH as a pro-inflammatory protein. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with COX-inhibitor activity are among the most commonly used analgesics and have demonstrated applications in the management of cardiovascular disease and intriguingly cancer. Major side effects of NSAIDs however are gastrointestinal ulcers which frequently precludes their long-term application. In this review, we hope to bridge the gap between NSAID toxicity and sEH-mediated metabolic pathways to focus on the role of epoxy fatty acid metabolic pathway of PUFAs in NSAIDS-ulcer formation and healing as well as inflammation-related carcinogenesis. Specifically we address the potential application of sEH inhibition to enhance ulcer healing at the site of inflammation via their activity on altered lipid signaling, mitochondrial function, and diminished reactive oxygen species, and further discuss the significance of dual COX and sEH inhibitor in anti-inflammation and carcinogenesis.
