Suárez-Santisteban MA, Santos-Díaz G, García-Bernalt V, Pérez-Pico AM, Mingorance E, Mayordomo R, Dorado P. Association between CYP4A11 and EPHX2 genetic polymorphisms and chronic kidney disease progression in hypertensive patients. Nefrologia 2024:S2013-2514(24)00037-3. [PMID: 38448299 DOI: 10.1016/j.nefroe.2024.01.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are evidence indicating that some metabolites of arachidonic acid produced by cytochromes P450 (CYP) and epoxide hydroxylase (EPHX2), such as hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) or dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETEs), play an important role in blood pressure regulation and they could contribute to the development of hypertension (HT) and kidney damage. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to evaluate whether the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2J2, CYP4F2, CYP4F11 and EPHX2, responsible for the formation of HETEs, EETs and DHETEs, are related to the progression of impaired renal function in a group of patients with hypertension. METHODS 151HT patients from a hospital nephrology service were included in the study. Additionally, a group of 87 normotensive subjects were involved in the study as control group. For HT patients, a general biochemistry analysis, estimated glomerular filtration rate and genotyping for different CYPs and EPHX2 variant alleles was performed. RESULTS CYP4A11 rs3890011, rs9332982 and EPHX2 rs41507953 polymorphisms, according to the dominant model, presented a high risk of impaired kidney function, with odds ratios (OR) of 2.07 (1.00-4.32; P=0.049) 3.02 (1.11-8.23; P=0.030) and 3.59 (1.37-9.41; P=0.009), respectively, and the EPHX2 rs1042032 polymorphism a greater risk according to the recessive model (OR=6.23; 95% CI=1.50-25.95; P=0.007). However, no significant differences in allele frequencies between HT patients and in normotensive subjects for any of the SNP analysed. In addition, the patients with diagnosis of dyslipidemia (n=90) presented higher frequencies of EPHX2 K55R (rs41507953) and *35A>G (rs1042032) variants than patients without dyslipidemia, 4% vs. 14% (P=0.005) and 16 vs. 27% (P=0.02), respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this study has been found higher odds of impaired renal function progression associated with rs3890011 and rs9332982 (CYP4A11) and rs41507953 and rs1042032 (EPHX2) polymorphisms, which may serve as biomarkers for improve clinical interventions aimed at avoiding or delaying, in chronic kidney disease patients, progress to end-stage kidney disease needing dialysis or kidney transplant.

Abstract
Hypertension is a major healthcare issue that afflicts one in every three adults worldwide and contributes to cardiovascular diseases, morbidity and mortality. Bioactive lipids contribute importantly to blood pressure regulation via actions on the vasculature, kidney, and inflammation. Vascular actions of bioactive lipids include blood pressure lowering vasodilation and blood pressure elevating vasoconstriction. Increased renin release by bioactive lipids in the kidney is pro-hypertensive whereas anti-hypertensive bioactive lipid actions result in increased sodium excretion. Bioactive lipids have pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory actions that increase or decrease reactive oxygen species and impact vascular and kidney function in hypertension. Human studies provide evidence that fatty acid metabolism and bioactive lipids contribute to sodium and blood pressure regulation in hypertension. Genetic changes identified in humans that impact arachidonic acid metabolism have been associated with hypertension. Arachidonic acid cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase and cytochrome P450 metabolites have pro-hypertensive and anti-hypertensive actions. Omega-3 fish oil fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are known to be anti-hypertensive and cardiovascular protective. Lastly, emerging fatty acid research areas include blood pressure regulation by isolevuglandins, nitrated fatty acids, and short chain fatty acids. Taken together, bioactive lipids are key contributors to blood pressure regulation and hypertension and their manipulation could decrease cardiovascular disease and associated morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many studies have shown that cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene polymorphisms are usually associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. To explore the association of CYP2C8 and CYP2J2 gene polymorphisms with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) in the Han Chinese population. METHODS Forty HICH patients and 40 control subjects were recruited for this study. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) (rs1058932, rs2275622) in the CYP2C8 gene and two SNPs (rs2271800, rs1155002) in the CYP2J2 gene were selected for genotyping by direct sequencing. Statistical analysis was applied to examine the effect of genetic variation on HICH. RESULTS We found that variant alleles of CYP2C8 rs1058932 (A) and rs2275622 (C) were both significantly associated with HICH, especially in females. We also found significant associations of CYP2C8 rs1058932 (A) and rs2275622 (C) variant alleles with poor outcomes in HICH patients, especially in males. CONCLUSIONS CYP2C8 gene polymorphisms might increase the risk of HICH in the Han Chinese population and might lead to poor outcomes. This finding adds to the body of literature supporting novel therapeutic strategies for HICH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes have a wide range of endogenous substrates and play a crucial role in cardiovascular physiology as well as in metabolic processes, so the issue of cytochrome P450 genes investigation has received considerable critical attention in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). AIM Comprehensive assessment of relationship between CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3 polymorphisms and CVD risk factors in gas industry workers undergoing periodic medical examination (PME). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 193 gas industry workers aged 30-55 years without acute diseases as well as exacerbations of chronic diseases, diabetes mellitus, and CVD history. CYP2C19 (rs4244285 and rs4986893) genotyping and analysis of the relationship between CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 and CVD risk factors were performed. RESULTS The CYP2C19*2 (A) and CYP2C19*3 (A) loss-of-function alleles frequencies were 20% and 2%, respectively. The frequency of high-normal blood pressure (BP) (130-139 and/or 85-89 mm Hg) detection was higher in the CYP2C19*2 (A) subgroup compared with wild-type GG allele carriers (26.7% vs. 5.2%, p = 0.03) in individuals without arterial hypertension (AH) and BP ≥ 140 and/or 90 mm Hg on PME. The median systolic BP levels were 5 mm Hg higher in CYP2C19*2 (A) group than in CYP2C19*2 (GG) group (125 vs. 120 mm Hg, p = 0.01). There was a similar trend for diastolic BP (85 vs. 80 mmHg, p = 0.08). CYP2C19*2 (A) was associated with higher mean levels of both systolic and diastolic BP (p = 0.015 and p = 0.044, respectively) in patients with AH. CYP2C19*2 was not associated with the other CVD risk factors analyzed. CONCLUSION The association of CYP2C19*2 with BP level suggests a possible role of this factor in AH development, which requires further research.

Pharmacol Ther 2022; 240:108213.

Abstract
Adenosine is a ubiquitous endogenous nucleoside or autacoid that affects the cardiovascular system through the activation of four G-protein coupled receptors: adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR), adenosine A2A receptor (A2AAR), adenosine A2B receptor (A2BAR), and adenosine A3 receptor (A3AR). With the rapid generation of this nucleoside from cellular metabolism and the widespread distribution of its four G-protein coupled receptors in almost all organs and tissues of the body, this autacoid induces multiple physiological as well as pathological effects, not only regulating the cardiovascular system but also the central nervous system, peripheral vascular system, and immune system. Mounting evidence shows the role of CYP450-enzymes in cardiovascular physiology and pathology, and the genetic polymorphisms in CYP450s can increase susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). One of the most important physiological roles of CYP450-epoxygenases (CYP450-2C & CYP2J2) is the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) and linoleic acid (LA) into epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and epoxyoctadecaenoic acid (EpOMEs) which generally involve in vasodilation. Like an increase in coronary reactive hyperemia (CRH), an increase in anti-inflammation, and cardioprotective effects. Moreover, the genetic polymorphisms in CYP450-epoxygenases will change the beneficial cardiovascular effects of metabolites or oxylipins into detrimental effects. The soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is another crucial enzyme ubiquitously expressed in all living organisms and almost all organs and tissues. However, in contrast to CYP450-epoxygenases, sEH converts EETs into dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (DHETs), EpOMEs into dihydroxyoctadecaenoic acid (DiHOMEs), and others and reverses the beneficial effects of epoxy-fatty acids leading to vasoconstriction, reducing CRH, increase in pro-inflammation, increase in pro-thrombotic and become less cardioprotective. Therefore, polymorphisms in the sEH gene (Ephx2) cause the enzyme to become overactive, making it more vulnerable to CVDs, including hypertension. Besides the sEH, ω-hydroxylases (CYP450-4A11 & CYP450-4F2) derived metabolites from AA, ω terminal-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (19-, 20-HETE), lipoxygenase-derived mid-chain hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (5-, 11-, 12-, 15-HETEs), and the cyclooxygenase-derived prostanoids (prostaglandins: PGD2, PGF2α; thromboxane: Txs, oxylipins) are involved in vasoconstriction, hypertension, reduction in CRH, pro-inflammation and cardiac toxicity. Interestingly, the interactions of adenosine receptors (A2AAR, A1AR) with CYP450-epoxygenases, ω-hydroxylases, sEH, and their derived metabolites or oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs or oxylipins) is shown in the regulation of the cardiovascular functions. In addition, much evidence demonstrates polymorphisms in CYP450-epoxygenases, ω-hydroxylases, and sEH genes (Ephx2) and adenosine receptor genes (ADORA1 & ADORA2) in the human population with the susceptibility to CVDs, including hypertension. CVDs are the number one cause of death globally, coronary artery disease (CAD) was the leading cause of death in the US in 2019, and hypertension is one of the most potent causes of CVDs. This review summarizes the articles related to the crosstalk between adenosine receptors and CYP450-derived oxylipins in vascular, including the CRH response in regular salt-diet fed and high salt-diet fed mice with the correlation of heart perfusate/plasma oxylipins. By using A2AAR-/-, A1AR-/-, eNOS-/-, sEH-/- or Ephx2-/-, vascular sEH-overexpressed (Tie2-sEH Tr), vascular CYP2J2-overexpressed (Tie2-CYP2J2 Tr), and wild-type (WT) mice. This review article also summarizes the role of pro-and anti-inflammatory oxylipins in cardiovascular function/dysfunction in mice and humans. Therefore, more studies are needed better to understand the crosstalk between the adenosine receptors and eicosanoids to develop diagnostic and therapeutic tools by using plasma oxylipins profiles in CVDs, including hypertensive cases in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are a superfamily of monooxygenases with diverse biological roles. CYP2J2 is an isozyme highly expressed in the heart where it metabolizes endogenous substrates such as N-3/N-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to produce lipid mediators involved in homeostasis and cardioprotective responses. Expanding our knowledge of the role CYP2J2 has within the heart is important for understanding its impact on cardiac health and disease. AREAS COVERED The objective of this review was to assess the state of knowledge regarding cardiac CYP2J2. A literature search was conducted using PubMed-MEDLINE (from 2022 and earlier) to evaluate relevant studies regarding CYP2J2 mediated cardioprotection, small molecule modulators, effects of CYP2J2 substrates toward biologically relevant effects and implications of CYP2J2 polymorphisms and sexual dimorphism in the heart. EXPERT OPINION Cardiac CYP2J2-mediated metabolism of endogenous and exogenous substrates have been shown to impact cardiac function. Identifying individual factors, like sex and age, that affect CYP2J2 require further elucidation to better understand CYP2J2's clinical relevance. Resolving the biological targets and activities of CYP2J2-derived PUFA metabolites will be necessary to safely target CYP2J2 and design novel analogues. Targeting CYP2J2 for therapeutic aims offers a potential novel approach to regulating cardiac homeostasis, drug metabolism and cardioprotection.

Abstract
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are arachidonic acid metabolites synthesized by cytochrome P450 epoxygenases. Biological activities for EETs include vasodilation, decreasing inflammation, opposing apoptosis, and inhibiting renal sodium reabsorption. These actions are beneficial in lowering blood pressure and slowing kidney disease progression. Furthermore, evidence in human and experimental animal studies have found that decreased EET levels contribute to hypertension and kidney diseases. Consequently, EET mimics/analogs have been developed as a potential therapeutic for hypertension and acute and chronic kidney diseases. Their development has resulted in EET analogs that are orally active with favorable pharmacological profiles. Analogs for 8,9-EET, 11,12-EET, and 14,15-EET have been tested in several hypertension and kidney disease animal models. More recently, kidney targeted EET analogs have been synthesized and tested against drug-induced nephrotoxicity. Experimental evidence has demonstrated compelling therapeutic potential for EET analogs to oppose cardiovascular and kidney diseases. These EET analogs lower blood pressure, decrease kidney inflammation, improve vascular endothelial function, and decrease kidney fibrosis and apoptosis. Overall, these preclinical studies support the likelihood that EET analogs will advance to clinical trials for hypertension and associated comorbidities or acute and chronic kidney diseases.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid is metabolized by cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and cytochrome P450 enzymes to produce prostaglandins, leukotrienes, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), along with other eicosanoids. Eicosanoids have important physiological and pathological roles in the body, including the cardiovascular system. Evidence from several experimental and clinical studies indicates differences in eicosanoid levels, as well as in the activity or expression levels of their synthesizing and metabolizing enzymes between males and females. In addition, there is a clear state of gender specificity in cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which tend to be more common in men compared to women, and their risk increases significantly in postmenopausal women compared to younger women. This could be largely attributed to sex hormones, as androgens exert detrimental effects on the heart and blood vessels, whereas estrogen exhibits cardioprotective effects. Many of androgen and estrogen effects on the cardiovascular system are mediated by eicosanoids. For example, androgens increase the levels of cardiotoxic eicosanoids like 20-HETE, while estrogens increase the levels of cardioprotective EETs. Thus, sex differences in eicosanoid levels in the cardiovascular system could be an important underlying mechanism for the different effects of sex hormones and the differences in CVD between males and females. Understanding the role of eicosanoids in these differences can help improve the management of CVD.

Abstract
Hypertension risks arising from chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) are well documented. Consumption of rice is a major iAs exposure route for over 3 billion people; however, there is a lack of epidemiological evidence demonstrating an association of hypertension risks with iAs intake from rice, especially in areas where there is little exposure from drinking water but a growing demand for rice intake. To address this, we conducted an individual-level cross-sectional analysis to quantify the extent to which daily iAs intake from rice and rice products (E-iAsing,rice) modifies the association between hypertension risks and previously well-established risk factors. The analysis was based on secondary dietary, socio-demographic and health status data of 598 participants recorded in the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey 2014-2016. E-iAsing,rice and five blood pressure endpoints were derived with potential associations explored through generalized linear models. According to the results, a negative but not significant relationship was found between hypertension risks and E-iAsing,rice after adjusting for major risk factors, notably age, gender, diabetes and obesity, with relatively higher risks being observed for male, middle-aged, overweight, alcohol consumer or Asian or Asian British, Black or Black British and mixed ethnic groups. Though inconclusive and mainly limited by potential incomplete adjustment for major confounders and intrinsic disadvantages of a cross-sectional design, this study was the first quantifying the individual level dose-response relationship between E-iAsing,rice and hypertension risks and is consistent with previous studies on the limited associations of hypertension with low-level arsenic exposure from drinking water. Larger scale cohort studies are indicated to quantify the association but in any event it is likely to be weak.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases are a special subset of heme-containing CYP enzymes capable of performing the epoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the metabolism of xenobiotics. This dual functionality positions epoxygenases along a metabolic crossroad. Therefore, structure-function studies are critical for understanding their role in bioactive oxy-lipid synthesis, drug-PUFA interactions, and for designing therapeutics that directly target the epoxygenases. To better exploit CYP epoxygenases as therapeutic targets, there is a need for improved understanding of epoxygenase structure-function. Of the characterized epoxygenases, human CYP2J2 stands out as a potential target because of its role in cardiovascular physiology. In this review, the early research on the discovery and activity of epoxygenases is contextualized to more recent advances in CYP epoxygenase enzymology with respect to PUFA and drug metabolism. Additionally, this review employs CYP2J2 epoxygenase as a model system to highlight both the seminal works and recent advances in epoxygenase enzymology. Herein we cover CYP2J2's interactions with PUFAs and xenobiotics, its tissue-specific physiological roles in diseased states, and its structural features that enable epoxygenase function. Additionally, the enumeration of research on CYP2J2 identifies the future needs for the molecular characterization of CYP2J2 to enable a new axis of therapeutic design.

An inability to increase EETs in response to a high-salt diet results in salt-sensitive hypertension. Vasodilation, inhibition of epithelial sodium channel, and inhibition of inflammation are the major EET actions that are beneficial to the heart, resistance arteries, and kidneys. Genetic and pharmacological means to elevate EETs demonstrated antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and organ protective actions. Therapeutic approaches to increase EETs were then developed for cardiovascular diseases. sEH (soluble epoxide hydrolase) inhibitors were developed and progressed to clinical trials for hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and other diseases. EET analogs were another therapeutic approach taken and these drugs are entering the early phases of clinical development. Even with the promise for these therapeutic approaches, there are still several challenges, unexplored areas, and opportunities for epoxy fatty acids.

Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:27. [PMID: 32116704 PMCID: PMC7014568 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.00027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2019] [Accepted: 01/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Previously, we showed vascular endothelial overexpression of human-CYP2J2 enhances coronary reactive hyperemia in Tie2-CYP2J2 Tr mice, and eNOS−/− mice had overexpression of CYP2J-epoxygenase with adenosine A2A receptor-induced enhance relaxation, but we did not see the response in CYP2J-epoxygenase knockout mice. Therefore, we hypothesized that Cyp2j5-gene deletion affects acetylcholine- and 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) (adenosine)-induced relaxation and their response is partially inhibited by angiotensin-II (Ang-II) in mice. Acetylcholine (Ach)-induced response was tested with N-(methylsulfonyl)-2-(2-propynyloxy)-benzenehexanamide (MS-PPOH, CYP-epoxygenase inhibitor; 10−5M) and Ang-II (10−6M). In Cyp2j5−/− mice, ACh-induced relaxation was different from C57Bl/6 mice, at 10−5 M (76.1 ± 3.3 vs. 58.3 ± 5.2, P < 0.05). However, ACh-induced relaxation was not blocked by MS-PPOH in Cyp2j5−/−: 58.5 ± 5.0%, P > 0.05, but blocked in C57Bl/6: 52.3 ± 7.5%, P < 0.05, and Ang-II reduces ACh-induced relaxation in both Cyp2j5−/− and C57Bl/6 mice (38.8 ± 3.9% and 45.9 ± 7.8, P <0.05). In addition, NECA-induced response was tested with Ang-II. In Cyp2j5−/− mice, NECA-induced response was not different from C57Bl/6 mice at 10−5M (23.1 ± 2.1 vs. 21.1 ± 3.8, P > 0.05). However, NECA-induced response was reduced by Ang-II in both Cyp2j5−/− and C57Bl/6 mice (−10.8 ± 2.3% and 3.2 ± 2.7, P < 0.05). Data suggest that ACh-induced relaxation in Cyp2j5−/− mice depends on nitric oxide (NO) but not CYP-epoxygenases, and the NECA-induced different response in male vs. female Cyp2j5−/− mice when Ang-II treated.

Association of CYP2J2 polymorphism with susceptibility to psoriasis in Turkish population: a case-control study. An Bras Dermatol 2020; 95:25-31. [PMID: 31902555 PMCID: PMC7058872 DOI: 10.1016/j.abd.2019.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2018] [Accepted: 04/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450 2J2 is mostly expressed in extrahepatic tissues; it metabolizes arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, with various cardio protective and anti-inflammatory effects. CYP2J2 polymorphism has been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but its association with psoriasis remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate CYP2J2 polymorphism as a risk factor for psoriasis in the Turkish population. METHODS There were 94 patients with psoriasis and 100 age- and sex-matched healthy controls included in the study. Detailed demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores were calculated for psoriasis patients. Venous blood samples were collected from all the participants and CYP2J2 50G>T (rs890293) polymorphism was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS Both T allele and TT+GT genotype frequencies were increased in psoriasis vulgaris patients compared to the control group (p=0.024 and p=0.029 respectively, OR=2.82, 95% CI: 1.11-7.15) No association between CYP2J2 polymorphism and clinical features of psoriasis was identified. STUDY LIMITATIONS A limited number of patients were included in the study. CONCLUSION CYP2J2 50G>T (rs890293) polymorphism was associated with an increased risk for PsV in the Turkish population.

Abstract
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are also known as epoxyeicosanoids that have renal and cardiovascular actions. These renal and cardiovascular actions can be regulated by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) that degrades and inactivates EETs. Extensive animal hypertension studies have determined that vascular, epithelial transport, and anti-inflammatory actions of EETs lower blood pressure and decrease renal and cardiovascular disease progression. Human studies have also supported the notion that increasing EET levels in hypertension could be beneficial. Pharmacological and genetic approaches to increase epoxyeicosanoids in several animal models and humans have found improved endothelial vascular function, increased sodium excretion, and decreased inflammation to oppose hypertension and associated renal and cardiovascular complications. These compelling outcomes support the concept that increasing epoxyeicosanoids via sEH inhibitors or EET analogs could be a valuable hypertension treatment.

Abstract
Hypertension is the most prevalent cause of cardiovascular disease and kidney failure, but only about 50% of patients achieve adequate blood pressure control, in part, due to inter-individual genetic variations in the response to antihypertensive medication. Significant strides have been made toward the understanding of the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. However, the role of ROS in human hypertension is still unclear. Polymorphisms of some genes involved in the regulation of ROS production are associated with hypertension, suggesting their potential influence on blood pressure control and response to antihypertensive medication. This review provides an update on the genes associated with the regulation of ROS production in hypertension and discusses the controversies on the use of antioxidants in the treatment of hypertension, including the antioxidant effects of antihypertensive drugs.

Abstract
This study investigated whether common polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP2J2), a major enzyme that controls the biosynthesis of vasoactive epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, are collectively involved in the molecular basis of essential hypertension (EH). A total of 2314 unrelated Russian subjects from the Kursk (discovery sample: 913 EH patients and 645 controls) and Belgorod (replication sample: 345 EH patients and 411 controls) regions were recruited for this study. Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs890293, rs11572182, rs10493270, rs1155002, rs2280275, rs7515289, rs11572325, and rs10889162, of CYP2J2 were genotyped using the MassARRAY 4 system and TaqMan-based assays. Significant associations were identified among the SNPs rs890293 (OR = 2.17, 95%CI 1.30-3.65), rs2280275 (OR = 1.59, 95%CI 1.10-2.37) and rs11572325 (OR = 1.89, 95%CI 1.22-2.95) and the risk of EH in females from the Kursk population. Sixteen CYP2J2 genotype combinations only showed significant associations with EH risk only in females. A common haplotype, T-T-G-C-C-C-T-A, increased the risk of EH in females. The bioinformatic analysis enabled identification of the SNPs that possess regulatory potential and/or are located within the binding sites for multiple transcription factors that play roles in the pathways involved in hypertension pathogenesis. Moreover, the polymorphisms rs890293, rs2280275, and rs11572325 were found to be significantly associated with hypertension risk in the Belgorod population. In conclusion, the rs2280275 and rs11572325 SNPs of CYP2J2 may be considered novel genetic markers of hypertension, at least in Russian women. However, sex-specific associations between CYP2J2 gene polymorphisms and hypertension require further investigation to clarify the specific genetic and/or environmental factors that are responsible for the increased disease susceptibility of women compared to that of men.

Abstract
Therapeutics for arachidonic acid pathways began with the development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX). The enzymatic pathways and arachidonic acid metabolites and respective receptors have been successfully targeted and therapeutics developed for pain, inflammation, pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. These drugs target the COX and lipoxygenase pathways but not the third branch for arachidonic acid metabolism, the cytochrome P450 (CYP) pathway. Small molecule compounds targeting enzymes and CYP epoxy-fatty acid metabolites have evolved rapidly over the last two decades. These therapeutics have primarily focused on inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) or agonist mimetics for epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EET). Based on preclinical animal model studies and human studies, major therapeutic indications for these sEH inhibitors and EET mimics/analogs are renal and cardiovascular diseases. Novel small molecules that inhibit sEH have advanced to human clinical trials and demonstrate promise for cardiovascular diseases. Challenges remain for sEH inhibitor and EET analog drug development; however, there is a high likelihood that a drug that acts on this third branch of arachidonic acid metabolism will be utilized to treat a cardiovascular or kidney disease in the next decade.

Abstract
Background The cytochrome P-450 2J2 (CYP2J2) is known to be one of the major enzymes of epoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid in extrahepatic tissues, which produces series of regioisomeric cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) such as 5,6-, 8,9-, 11,12-, and 14,15-EETs. In the present study, we analyzed the impact of a genetic variant in CYP2J2 on coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Telangana region of Indian population. Material and methods The case–control study consisted of 100 CAD cases and 110 healthy controls. The deoxyribonucleic acid was extracted using the salting out method. Genotyping and gene expression was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism and real-time-PCR methods. Results In the present study, the percentage of smokers, alcoholics, hypertensive patients, and diabetics was high. Increase in fasting glucose, urea, creatinine, fasting triglycerides, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (TC/HDL), LDL/HDL, homocysteine, and C-reactive protein levels were significantly higher in patients with CAD than in controls (p < 0.001). CYP2J2 G-50T was associated with CAD (p = 0.04). The mRNA expression of CYP2J2 showed altered gene expression in this study among CAD patients in comparison with control (p = 0.01). Conclusions A functionally relevant polymorphism of the CYP2J2 gene was independently associated with an increased risk of CAD.

Abstract
As an important metabolic enzyme, it is necessary to investigate the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2J2 among healthy Tibetan individuals. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2J2 could affect enzyme activity and lead to differences among individual responses to drugs.We sequenced the whole gene of CYP2J2 in 100 unrelated, healthy Tibetan volunteers from the Tibet Autonomous Region and screened for genetic variants in the promoters, introns, exons, and the 3'-UTR regions.We detected 4 novel genetic polymorphisms of the CYP2J2 gene. The allelic frequencies of CYP2D6*1 and *7 were 0.955 and 0.045, respectively. CYP2D6*1/*7 decreased the activity of CYP2J2 and was expressed in 9% of the sample population.Our results provided basic data about CYP2J2 polymorphisms in a Tibetan population, suggested that the enzymatic activities of CYP2J2 might be different within the ethnic group, and offered a theoretical basis for individualized medical treatment and drug genomics studies.

Abstract
Globally, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of mortality. Approximately 18 million people died from CVDs in 2015, representing more than 30% of all global deaths. New diagnostic tools and therapies are eagerly required to decrease the prevalence of CVDs related to mortality and/or risk factors leading to CVDs. Oxylipins are a group of metabolites, generated via oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are involved in inflammation, immunity, and vascular functions, etc. Thus far, over 100 oxylipins have been identified, and have overlapping and interconnected roles. Important CVD pathologies such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, thrombosis, hemostasis and diabetes have been linked to abnormal oxylipin signaling. Oxylipins represent a new era of risk markers and/or therapeutic targets in several diseases including CVDs. The role of many oxylipins in the progression or regression in CVD, however, is still not fully understood. An increased knowledge of the role of these oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids in cardiovascular dysfunctions or CVDs including hypertension could possibly lead to the development of biomarkers for the detection and their treatment in the future.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP2J2) is a known arachidonic acid (AA) epoxygenase that mediates the formation of four bioactive regioisomers of cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). Although its expression in the liver is low, CYP2J2 is mainly observed in extrahepatic tissues, including the small intestine, pancreas, lung, and heart. Changes in CYP2J2 levels or activity by xenobiotics, disease states, or polymorphisms are proposed to lead to various organ dysfunctions. Several studies have investigated the regulation of CYP2J2 and EET formation in various cell lines and have demonstrated that such regulation is tissue-dependent. In addition, studies linking CYP2J2 polymorphisms to the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) yielded contradictory results. This review will focus on the mechanisms of regulation of CYP2J2 by inducers, inhibitors, and oxidative stress modeling certain disease states in various cell lines and tissues. The implication of CYP2J2 expression, polymorphisms, activity and, as a result, EET levels in the pathophysiology of diabetes and CVD will also be discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Arachidonic acid metabolism by cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases leads to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are eicosanoids with vasodilator and anti-inflammatory properties. We aim to determine whether genetic variability in these routes may contribute to cardiovascular (CV) risk in renal transplant recipients. METHODS In a cohort of 355 patients, we determined the presence of two polymorphisms, CYP2C8*3 and CYP2J2*7, known to affect eicosanoid levels. Associations with CV mortality, CV event-free long-term survival and graft survival were retrospectively investigated by logistic regression models. RESULTS CYP2J2*7 showed a statistical trend towards higher CV mortality (p = .06) and lower cardiac or cerebral event-free long-term survival (p = .05), whilst CYP2C8*3 displayed a significant inverse association with the risk of CV event (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.34 [0.15-0.78], p = .01). The association of CYP2J2*7 with CV mortality became significant when the analysis was restrained to 316 patients without a history of CV events prior to transplantation (HR = 15.72 [2.83-91.94], p = .005). In this subgroup of patients both single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were significantly associated with event-free survival. HR values were 5.44 (1.60-18.51), p = .007 and 0.26 (0.09-0.75), p = .012 for CYP2J2*7 and CYP2C8*3, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results show, for the first time to our knowledge, that two SNPs in CYP2C8 and CYP2J2, which synthesize EETs, may modify CV outcomes in renal transplant recipients, a population that is already at a high risk of suffering these events.

Abstract
Thirty-five years ago, a third pathway for the metabolism of arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450 enzymes emerged. Subsequent work revealed that 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids formed by these pathways have essential roles in the regulation of renal tubular and vascular function. Sequence variants in the genes that produce 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid are associated with hypertension in humans, whereas the evidence supporting a role for variants in the genes that alter levels of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids is less convincing. Studies in animal models suggest that changes in the production of cytochrome P450 eicosanoids alter BP. However, the mechanisms involved remain controversial, especially for 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, which has both vasoconstrictive and natriuretic actions. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids are vasodilators with anti-inflammatory properties that oppose the development of hypertension and CKD; 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid levels are elevated after renal ischemia and may protect against injury. Levels of this eicosanoid are also elevated in polycystic kidney disease and may contribute to cyst formation. Our review summarizes the emerging evidence that cytochrome P450 eicosanoids have a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension, polycystic kidney disease, AKI, and CKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study of pharmacogenomics presents the possibility of individualised optimisation of drug therapy tailored to each patients' unique physiological traits. Both antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs play a key role in the management of cardiovascular disease. Despite their importance, there is a substantial volume of literature to suggest marked person-to-person variability in their effect. Areas covered: This article reviews the data available for the genetic cause for this inter-patient variability of antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs. The genetic basis for traditional antiplatelets (i.e. aspirin) is compared with the newly available antiplatelet medicines (clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor). Similarly, the pharmacogenetics of warfarin is compared with the newer direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in detail. Expert Opinion: We identify strengths and weaknesses in the research thus far; including shortcomings in trial design and a review of newer analytical techniques. The direction of this research and its real-world implications are discussed.

Cyp2c44 gene disruption is associated with increased hematopoietic stem cells: implication in chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2017; 313:H293-H303. [PMID: 28550179 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00785.2016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2016] [Revised: 05/05/2017] [Accepted: 05/20/2017] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that disruption of the murine cytochrome P-450 2c44 gene (Cyp2c44) exacerbates chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary artery remodeling and hypertension in mice. Subsequently, we serendipitously found that Cyp2c44 gene disruption also increases hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) numbers in bone marrow and blood. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to investigate whether CYP2C44-derived eicosanoids regulate HSC proliferation/cell growth and whether increased HSCs contribute to chronic hypoxia-induced remodeling of pulmonary arteries in Cyp2c44 knockout mice. Our findings demonstrated that lack of CYP2C44 epoxygenase, which catalyzed the oxidation of arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic (EETs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic (HETE) acids, increases the numbers of 1) HSCs (CD34+, CD117+, and CD133+), 2) proangiogenic (CD34+CD133+ and CD34+CD117+CD133+) cells, and 3) immunogenic/inflammatory (CD34+CD11b+, CD133+CD11b+, F4/80+, CD11b+, and F4/80+CD11b+) macrophages in bone marrow and blood compared with wild-type mice. Among the various CYP2C44-derived arachidonic acids, only 15-HETE decreased CD117+ cell numbers when applied to bone marrow cell cultures. Interestingly, CD133+ and von Willebrand factor-positive cells, which are derived from proangiogenic stem cells, are increased in the bone marrow, blood, and lungs of mice exposed to chronic hypoxia and in remodeled and occluded pulmonary arteries of CYP2C44-deficient mice. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that CYP2C44-derived 15-HETE plays a critical role in downregulating HSC proliferation and growth, because disruption of the Cyp2c44 gene increased HSCs that potentially contribute to chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial remodeling and occlusion.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study demonstrates that cytochrome P-450 2C44 plays a critical role in controlling the phenotype of hematopoietic stem cells and that when this enzyme is knocked out, stem cells are differentiated. These stem cells give rise to increased circulating monocytes and macrophages and contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary artery remodeling and hypertension.

Abstract
The CYP2C subfamily of the cytochrome P450 gene superfamily encodes heme-thiolate proteins that have a myriad of biologic functions. CYP2C proteins detoxify xenobiotics and metabolize endogenous lipids such as arachidonic acid to bioactive eicosanoids. We report new methods and results for the quantitative polymerase reaction (qPCR) analysis for the 15 members of the mouse Cyp2c subfamily (Cyp2c29, Cyp2c37, Cyp2c38, Cyp2c39, Cyp2c40, Cyp2c44, Cyp2c50, Cyp2c54, Cyp2c55, Cyp2c65, Cyp2c66, Cyp2c67, Cyp2c68, Cyp2c69, and Cyp2c70). Commercially available TaqMan primer/probe assays were compared with developed SYBR Green primer sets for specificity toward the mouse Cyp2c cDNAs and analysis of their tissue distribution. TaqMan primer/probe assays for 10 of the mouse Cyp2c isoforms were shown to be specific for their intended mouse Cyp2c cDNA; however, there were no TaqMan primer/probe assays specific for the mouse Cyp2c29, Cyp2c40, Cyp2c67, Cyp2c68, or Cyp2c69 transcripts. Each of the SYBR Green primer sets was specific for its intended mouse Cyp2c cDNA. The two qPCR methods confirmed similar patterns of Cyp2c tissue expression: Cyp2c37, Cyp2c38, Cyp2c39, Cyp2c44, Cyp2c50, Cyp2c54, and Cyp2c70 were most highly expressed in liver; Cyp2c55 was highly expressed in large intestine; Cyp2c65 was highly expressed in stomach, duodenum, and large intestine; and Cyp2c66 was highly expressed in both duodenum and jejunum. For isoforms without specific TaqMan primer/probe assays, the SYBR Green primer sets detected high level expression of Cyp2c29, Cyp2c40, Cyp2c67, Cyp2c68, and Cyp2c69 in the liver. Lower expression levels of the mouse Cyp2cs were also detected in other tissues.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a soluble cytokine and target of specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and other biologic agents used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. These biologics exert their pharmacological effects through binding and neutralizing TNF-α, and thus they prevent TNF-α from interacting with its cell surface receptors. The magnitude of the pharmacological effects is governed not only by the pharmacokinetics (PK) of mAbs, but also by the kinetic fate of TNF-α We have examined the pharmacokinetics of recombinant human TNF-α (rhTNF-α) in rats at low doses and quantitatively characterized its pharmacokinetic features with a minimal physiologically based pharmacokinetic model. Our experimental and literature-digitalized PK data of rhTNF-α in rats across a wide range of doses were applied to global model fitting. rhTNF-α exhibits permeability rate-limited tissue distribution and its elimination is comprised of a saturable clearance pathway mediated by tumor necrosis factor receptor binding and disposition and renal filtration. The resulting model integrated with classic allometry was further used for interspecies PK scaling and resulted in model predictions that agreed well with experimental measurements in monkeys. In addition, a semimechanistic model was proposed and applied to explore the absorption kinetics of rhTNF-α following s.c. and other routes of administration. The model suggests substantial presystemic degradation of rhTNF-α for s.c. and i.m. routes and considerable lymph uptake contributing to the overall systemic absorption through the stomach wall and gastrointestinal wall routes of dosing. This report provides comprehensive modeling and key insights into the complexities of absorption and disposition of a major cytokine.

Abstract
Endothelial and vascular smooth cells generate cytochrome P450 (CYP) arachidonic acid metabolites that can impact endothelial cell function and vascular homeostasis. The objective of this review is to focus on the physiology and pharmacology of endothelial CYP metabolites. The CYP pathway produces two types of eicosanoid products: epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), formed by CYP epoxygenases, and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), formed by CYP hydroxylases. Advances in CYP enzymes, EETs, and 20-HETE by pharmacological and genetic means have led to a more complete understanding of how these eicosanoids impact on endothelial cell function. Endothelial-derived EETs were initially described as endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factors. It is now well recognized that EETs importantly contribute to numerous endothelial cell functions. On the other hand, 20-HETE is the predominant CYP hydroxylase synthesized by vascular smooth muscle cells. Like EETs, 20-HETE acts on endothelial cells and impacts importantly on endothelial and vascular function. An important aspect for EETs and 20-HETE endothelial actions is their interactions with hormonal and paracrine factors. These include interactions with the renin-angiotensin system, adrenergic system, puringeric system, and endothelin. Alterations in CYP enzymes, 20-HETE, or EETs contribute to endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic injury, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. Recent advances have led to the development of potential therapeutics that target CYP enzymes, 20-HETE, or EETs. Thus, future investigation is required to obtain a more complete understanding of how CYP enzymes, 20-HETE, and EETs regulate endothelial cell function.

Abstract
The relationship between CYP17A1 genetic polymorphisms and essential hypertension (EH) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of CYP17A1 genetic polymorphisms with EH in Han and Uighur populations in China. A Han population including 558 people (270 EH patients and 288 controls) and a Uighur population including 473 people (181 EH patients and 292 controls) were selected. Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs4919686, rs1004467, rs4919687, rs10786712, and rs2486758) were genotyped using real-time PCR (TaqMan). In the Uighur population, for the total and the men, rs4919686, rs4919687 and rs10786712 were found to be associated with EH (rs4919686: P≤0.02, rs4919687: P≤0.002, rs10786712: P≤0.004, respectively). The difference remained statistically significant after the multivariate adjustment (all P<0.05). The overall distributions of the haplotypes established by SNP1-SNP3, SNP1-SNP4, SNP1-SNP3-SNP5 and SNP1-SNP4-SNP5 were significantly different between the EH patients and the control subjects (for the total: P=0.013, P=0.008, P=0.032, P=0.010, for men: P<0.001, P=0.001, P=0.010, P=0.00). In the Han population, for men, rs2486758 was found to be associated with EH in a recessive model (P=0.007); the significant difference was not retained after the adjustment for the covariates (date not shown). The A allele of rs4919686 could be a susceptible genetic marker, and the T allele of rs10786712 could be a protective genetic marker of EH. The AC genotype of rs4919686, the AG genotype of rs4919687 and the TT genotype of rs10786712 could be protective genetic markers of EH.

Abstract
We conducted a case-control study to determine the contribution of polymorphisms in CYP2C8 (CYP2C8*3) and CYP2J2 (CYP2J2*7) to increased risk of coronary artery disease and essential hypertension in Bulgarians. The current analysis included 192 unrelated hypertensive patients, 261 patients with angiographically documented CAD (153 with myocardial infarction and 108 without myocardial infarction), and 496 population controls. The CYP2C8*3 and CYP2J2*7 polymorphisms were genotyped by TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay. PLINK version 1.07 was used for the statistical analysis. No overall association was observed for the studied polymorphisms with coronary artery disease and essential hypertension. The frequency of -50T mutant allele of CYP2J2*7 was significantly higher in male with coronary artery disease without history of myocardial infarction (OR 2.16 95% CI 1.04-4.48 p = 0.035) compared to population control group, but this association did not survive after Bonferroni correction (p adj = 0.07). A significant association of CYP2C8*3 allele with increased risk of essential hypertension has found in men (OR 2.12 95% CI 1.18-3.81 p = 0.015) and this relationship remained significant after adjustment for multiple comparisons (p adj = 0.03). This is the first study showing significant gene-sex interaction for CYP2C8*3 with twofold increase in the relative risk of essential hypertension and a similar tendency for CYP2J2*7 associated with coronary artery disease without myocardial infarction in Bulgarian males. The association is not seen in females and in the whole group of patients. This result could be partly explained by the effect of estrogens on the vascular tone of coronary arteries and CYP2C8 gene expression.

Murine hepatic Cyp4a mRNAs are markedly downregulated during inflammation. Here, we investigated the roles of Cyp4a10 and Cyp4a14 in the response to infection with C. rodentium. Absence of either Cyp4a gene attenuated or abrogated the changes in spleen weight, colon crypt length, hepatic cytokine, and acute phase protein mRNAs, and serum acute phase proteins and cytokines caused by infection. Cyp4a10(-/-) mice on a low-salt diet had a similar hepatic acute phase response as those mice on a high-salt diet, suggesting that hypertension associated with this genotype is not the cause of their altered inflammatory response. In contrast, wild-type, Cyp4a10(-/-), and Cyp4a14(-/-) mice showed similar responses to injected LPS. These results implicate Cyp4a10 and Cyp4a14 in the regulation of the host inflammatory response to enteropathogenic bacterial infection but not to acute aseptic inflammation. Understanding the mechanism of this role may lead to novel therapeutic approaches in some inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Omega-3 polyunsatured fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA) are essential nutrients mainly derived from fish and seafood but present also in vegetables such as nuts and seed-oils. Some epidemiological and clinical studies indicate a protection of ω-3 FA against cardiovascular disease and a favourable effect on cardiovascular risk factors control in adults. The evidences of their effects in children and adolescents are scanty but a possible beneficial role, especially for insulin sensitivity and blood pressure control, has been proposed. In this review we want to focus especially on the evidences, which could justify the assumption of ω-3 in children and adolescents, and to underline the aspects which need further investigation. Mechanisms through which ω-3 FA act are manifolds and still a matter of investigation: beside their interaction with ion channel and their influence on plasma membrane fluidity, probably the main effect is acting as competitor for cytochrome P-450 (CYP) with respect to ω-6 FA. Thus, they can modulate the biosynthesis of eicosanoids and other lipid mediators, which likely exert a protective action. Another suggestive hypothesis is that their beneficial effect is not dependent only on the intake of ω-3 FA, but also on the complex interaction between different nutrients including ω-3 and other FAs with polymorphisms in genes involved in ω-3 FA modulation. This complex interaction has seldom been explored in children and adolescents. Further studies are needed to investigate all these points in order to find a better collocation of ω-3 FA on the available armamentarium for preventive, possibly individualized, medicine.

Abstract
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) generated from arachidonic acid through cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases have many biological functions. Importantly, CYP epoxygenase-derived EETs are involved in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. In fact, in addition to their potent vasodilating effect, EETs have potent anti-inflammatory properties, inhibit platelet aggregation, promote fibrinolysis, and reduce vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. All EETs are metabolized to the less active dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Numerous evidences support the role of altered EET biosynthesis in the pathophysiology of hypertension and suggest the utility of antihypertensive strategies that increase CYP-derived EET or EET analogs. Indeed, a number of studies have demonstrated that EET analogs and sEH inhibitors induce vasodilation, lower blood pressure and decrease inflammation. Some of these agents are currently under evaluation in clinical trials for treatment of hypertension and diabetes. However, the role of CYP epoxygenases and of the metabolites generated in cancer progression may limit the use of these drugs in humans.

Abstract
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) contribute to blood pressure regulation leading to the concept that EETs can be therapeutically targeted for hypertension and the associated end organ damage. In the present study, we investigated anti-hypertensive and kidney protective actions of an EET analog, EET-B in angiotensin II (ANG II)-induced hypertension. EET-B was administered in drinking water for 14 days (10 mg/kg/d) and resulted in a decreased blood pressure elevation in ANG II hypertension. At the end of the two-week period, blood pressure was 30 mmHg lower in EET analog-treated ANG II hypertensive rats. The vasodilation of mesenteric resistance arteries to acetylcholine was impaired in ANG II hypertension; however, it was improved with EET-B treatment. Further, EET-B protected the kidney in ANG II hypertension as evidenced by a marked 90% decrease in albuminuria and 54% decrease in nephrinuria. Kidney histology demonstrated a decrease in renal tubular cast formation in EET analog-treated hypertensive rats. In ANG II hypertension, EET-B treatment markedly lowered renal inflammation. Urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 excretion was decreased by 55% and kidney macrophage infiltration was reduced by 52% with EET-B treatment. Overall, our results demonstrate that EET-B has anti-hypertensive properties, improves vascular function, and decreases renal inflammation and injury in ANG II hypertension.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP2J2) is an enzyme mainly found in human extrahepatic tissues, with predominant expression in the cardiovascular systems and lower levels in the intestine, kidney, lung, pancreas, brain, liver, etc. During the past 15 years, CYP2J2 has attracted much attention for its epoxygenase activity in arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism. It converts AA to four epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) that have various biological effects, especially in the cardiovascular systems. In recent publications, CYP2J2 is shown highly expressed in various human tumor cells, and its EET metabolites are demonstrated to implicate in the pathologic development of human cancers. CYP2J2 is also a human CYP that involved in phase I xenobiotics metabolism. Antihistamine drugs and many other compounds were identified as the substrates of CYP2J2, and studies have demonstrated that these substrates have a broad structural diversity. CYP2J2 is found not readily induced by known P450 inducers; however, its expression could be regulated in some pathological conditions, might through the activator protein-1(AP-1), the AP-1-like element and microRNA let-7b. Several genetic mutations in the CYP2J2 gene have been identified in humans, and some of them have been shown to have potential associations with some diseases. With the increasing awareness of its roles in cancer disease and drug metabolism, studies about CYP2J2 are still going on, and various inhibitors of CYP2J2 have been determined. Further studies are needed to delineate the roles of CYP2J2 in disease pathology, drug development and clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The P450 enzymes (P450s) mediate the biotransformation of several drugs, steroid hormones, eicosanoids, cholesterol, vitamins, fatty acids and bile acids, many of which affect cardiovascular homeostasis. Experimental studies have demonstrated that several P450s modulate important steps in the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease (IHD). AREAS COVERED This article discusses the current knowledge on i) the expression of P450s in cardiovascular and renal tissues; ii) the role of P450s in the pathophysiology of IHD, in particular the modulation of blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy, coronary arterial tone, ischemia-reperfusion injury and the metabolism of cardiovascular drugs; iii) the available evidence from observational studies on the association between P450 gene polymorphisms and risk of myocardial infarction (MI); and iv) suggestions for further research in this area. EXPERT OPINION P450s exert important modulatory effects in experimental models of IHD and MI. However, observational studies have provided conflicting results on the association between P450 genetic polymorphisms and MI. Further, adequately powered studies are required to ascertain the biological and clinical impact of P450s on clinical IHD end-points, that is, fatal and nonfatal MI, revascularization and long-term outcomes post MI. Pharmacogenetic substudies of recently completed cardiovascular clinical trials might represent an alternative strategy in this context.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-epoxygenase is highly expressed in the kidney and its metabolism of arachidonic acid plays important roles in regulating renal Na transport and in modulating vasoactivity in the kidney. In the past several years, progress has been made not only in characterizing the specific CYP-epoxygenases responsible for the regulation of membrane transport and vasoactivity in the kidney but also in exploring the mechanism by which they regulate renal Na transport and vasodilation of preglomerular arterioles. This review summarizes and updates recent progress in this area of research. RECENT FINDINGS CYP-epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid inhibit epithelial Na channel (ENaC) in the cortical collecting duct (CCD), and 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (11,12-EET) is mainly responsible for mediating the inhibitory effect on ENaC. Downregulation of CYP2C44 abolishes arachidonic acid mediated inhibition of ENaC and increases ENaC activity. In addition, 11,12-EET stimulates Ca-activated big conductance K channels in the CCD and afferent arterioles smooth muscles. Activation of big conductance K channels by 11,12-EET is responsible for EET-induced vasodilation in preglomerular arterioles. 11,12-EET-induced vasodilation is absent in preglomerular arterioles pretreated with okadaic acid. SUMMARY CYP-epoxygenase mediated suppression of renal Na transport is partially achieved by inhibition of ENaC activity in the CCD and CYP2C44-derived EETs are responsible for inhibition of ENaC. Stimulation of serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) contributes to 11,12-EET-induced activation of big conductance K channels and vasodilation in preglomerular arterioles.

Abstract
Nephrotoxicity severely limits the use of the anticancer drug cisplatin. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress contribute to cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. We developed novel orally active epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) analogs and investigated their prophylactic effect in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was manifested by increases in blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine, urinary N-acetyl-β-(d)-glucosaminidase activity, kidney injury molecule 1, and histopathology. EET analogs (10 mg/kg/d) attenuated cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by reducing these renal injury markers by 40-80% along with a 50-70% reduction in renal tubular cast formation. This attenuated renal injury is associated with reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and ER stress evident from reduction in related biomarkers and in the renal expression of genes involved in these pathways. Moreover, we demonstrated that the attenuated nephrotoxicity correlated with decreased apoptosis that is associated with 50-90% reduction in Bcl-2 protein family mediated proapoptotic signaling, reduced renal caspase-12 expression, and a 50% reduction in renal caspase-3 activity. We further demonstrated in vitro that the protective activity of EET analogs does not compromise the anticancer effects of cisplatin. Collectively, our data provide evidence that EET analogs attenuate cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, ER stress, and apoptosis without affecting the chemotherapeutic effects of cisplatin.

Abstract
Cytochrome p450 (CYP)2J2 is an epoxygenase enzyme that metabolises arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). EETs are inactivated by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), which converts them in to their corresponding dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs). CYP2J2 is highly expressed in cardiovascular tissue including the heart and vascular endothelial cells. CYP2J2 and the EETs it produces have been shown to have a diverse range of effects on the vasculature, including the regulation of inflammation, vascular tone, cellular proliferation, angiogenesis, and metabolism. This review will examine these established and emerging roles of CYP2J2 in the biology of vascular endothelial cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of the most common allelic variants of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2C9, CYP2E1, CYP2F1, CYP2J2 and CYP2S1 in a representative sample of the three ethnic groups (Russians, Tatars and Bashkirs) from Republic of Bashkortostan (Russia), and compare the results with existing data published for other populations. MATERIAL AND METHODS CYPs genotypes were determined in 742 DNA samples of healthy unrelated individuals representative of three ethnic groups. The CYPs gene polymorphisms were examined using the PCR-RLFP method. RESULTS Analysis of the CYP1A1 (rs1048943, rs4646903), CYP1A2 (rs762551), CYP2E1 (rs2031920) allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies revealed significant differences among healthy residents of the Republic of Bashkortostan of different ethnicities. Distribution of allele and genotype frequencies of CYP1A2 (rs35694136), CYP1B1 (rs1056836), CYP2C9 (rs1799853, rs1057910), CYP2F1 (rs11399890), CYP2J2 (rs890293), CYP2S1 (rs34971233, rs338583) genes were similar in Russians, Tatars, and Bashkirs. Analysis of the CYPs genes allele frequency distribution patterns among the ethnic groups from the Republic of Bashkortostan in comparison with the different populations worldwide was conducted. CONCLUSION The peculiarities of the allele frequency distribution of CYPs genes in the ethnic groups of the Republic of Bashkortostan should be taken into consideration in association and pharmacogenetic studies. The results of the present investigation will be of great help in elucidating the genetic background of drug response, susceptibility to cancer and complex diseases, as well as in determining the toxic potentials of environmental pollutants in our region.

Abstract
The high-density-lipoprotein-(HDL-) associated esterase paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is a likely contributor to the antioxidant and antiatherosclerotic capabilities of HDL. Two nonsynonymous mutations in the structural gene, PON1, have been associated with variation in activity levels, but substantial interindividual differences remain unexplained and are greatest for substrates other than the eponymous paraoxon. PON1 activity levels were measured for three substrates-organophosphate paraoxon, arylester phenyl acetate, and lactone dihydrocoumarin-in 767 Mexican American individuals from San Antonio, Texas. Genetic influences on activity levels for each substrate were evaluated by association with approximately one million single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) while conditioning on PON1 genotypes. Significant associations were detected at five loci including regions on chromosomes 4 and 17 known to be associated with atherosclerosis and lipoprotein regulation and loci on chromosome 3 that regulate ubiquitous transcription factors. These loci explain 7.8% of variation in PON1 activity with lactone as a substrate, 5.6% with the arylester, and 3.0% with paraoxon. In light of the potential importance of PON1 in preventing cardiovascular disease/events, these novel loci merit further investigation.
