Abstract
Aim: Epoxide hydrolase is involved in oxidative defenses and is responsible for the activation of carcinogens. The relationship between EPHX1 polymorphisms (Tyr113His and His139Arg) and overall survival (OS) and lung cancer (LC) risk was investigated. Methods: The study comprised 550 cases and 550 controls. Genotyping and statistical analysis were applied. Results: The variant genotypes of EPHX1 polymorphisms exhibited no association with LC risk. The Tyr113His polymorphism exhibited twofold increased odds of lymph node invasion (p = 0.04). The Tyr/His genotype is a risk factor for smokers. Subjects carrying the combined genotype for His139Arg showed better median survival time (MST) and the heterozygous genotype revealed better MST in the case of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC; 11.30 vs 6.73 months; log-rank test: p = 0.02). The heterozygous genotype (His139Arg) had longer MST in patients receiving cisplatin/carboplatin and irinotecan (11.30 vs 7.23; log-rank test: p = 0.007) Conclusion: The Tyr113His polymorphism is associated with LC risk in smokers and is a potential prognostic factor for OS in patients with SCLC after irinotecan.

Abstract
Occupational wood dust exposure may be associated with various health effects, especially in wood industry. These effects may be due to inducing oxidative stress which is related to inflammations. Biochemical assessment of antioxidant enzyme activities illustrated role of oxidative stress (OS) on its depletion. Super oxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) were analyzed in 50 exposed workers and 50 control subjects. Also, macrophage inflammatory protein-2 was assessed among these workers as it was produced upon dust exposure. Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EPHX1) enzyme shared in the protective mechanism against wood dust oxidative stress. It plays a dual role in the metabolism of environmental pollutants, detoxification, and bioactivation. Gene polymorphisms of EPHX1 may be associated with variations in enzyme activity. Polymorphisms in exons 3 and 4 have resulted in either decreased (slow conjugating allele) or increased (fast conjugating allele) activity in vitro. We aimed to evaluate the associations between EPHX1 polymorphisms and change in antioxidant status (SOD, CAT, and GPx) among wood dust exposed workers. EPHX1 genotyping in exon 3 and exon 4 polymorphisms was carried out by PCR-RFLP. Our result shows a significant reduction in enzymatic antioxidants (SOD, CAT, and GPx) levels with significant rise in MIP-2 levels in worker group. Also, there are significant variations in SOD, CAT, and GPx levels as well as in MIP-2 in different genotypes of EPHX polymorphisms in exon 3 or 4 (specially in Hist-Hist genotypes in both exons). We can conclude an alteration in antioxidant status in both slow and fast allele of EPHX gene polymorphisms with release of MIP-2 protein in wood workers.

Abstract
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase/epoxide hydrolase 1 (mEH/EPHX1) works in conjunction with cytochromes P450 to metabolize a variety of compounds, including xenobiotics, pharmaceuticals and endogenous lipids. mEH has been most widely studied for its role in metabolism of xenobiotic and pharmaceutical compounds where it converts hydrophobic and reactive epoxides to hydrophilic diols that are more readily excreted. Inhibition or genetic disruption of mEH can be deleterious in the face of many industrial, environmental or pharmaceutical exposures and EPHX1 polymorphisms are associated with the development of exposure-related cancers. The role of mEH in endogenous epoxy-fatty acid (EpFA) metabolism has been less well studied. In vitro, mEH metabolizes most EpFAs at a far slower rate than soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) and has thus been generally considered to exert a minor role in EpFA metabolism in vivo. Indeed, sEH inhibitors or sEH-deficiency increase EpFA levels and are protective in animal models of cardiovascular disease. Recently, however, mEH was found to have a previously unrecognized and substantial role in EpFA metabolism in vivo. While few studies have examined the role of mEH in cardiovascular homeostasis, there is now substantial evidence that mEH can regulate cardiovascular function through regulation of EpFA metabolism. The discovery of a prominent role for mEH in epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) metabolism, in particular, suggests that additional studies on the role of mEH in cardiovascular biology are warranted.

Abstract
The study aimed to explore the relationship of microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) exon 3 (Tyr113His) and exon 4 (His139Arg) polymorphisms and predicted mEH activity with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) risk. 482 histologically confirmed cases and equal number of matched controls were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Conditional logistic regression models were used to examine the association of polymorphisms with ESCC. We noted exon 3 slow genotype (OR = 6.57; CI 3.43-12.57) as well as predicted low mEH activity (OR = 3.99; CI 2.32-6.85) was associated with the ESCC risk. Elevated ESCC risk estimates were seen in smokers independent of genotypes but the association was stronger among smokers with exon 3 variant (OR = 6.67; 3.29-13.53) and low activity (OR = 7.52; CI 3.46-16.37) genotypes. Positive family history of cancer synergistically increased ESCC risk in the individuals who harbored exon 3 (OR = 13.59; CI 5.63-32.81) or altered mEH activity genotypes (OR = 13.35; CI 5.10-34.94). Significant interaction was seen between mEH exon 3 and exon 4 genotypes (P = 0.006) and between predicted mEH activity and positive family history of cancer (P = 0.018). These findings suggest association of ESCC risk with mEH polymorphisms which get modified by tobacco smoking and positive family history of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microsomal epoxide hydrolase enzyme (mEPHX) is involved in xenobiotics detoxification. Two variants of mEPHX, Tyr113His and His139Arg, have been described. Both may lead to acquired aplastic anemia (AA). OBJECTIVES Assessing mEPHX genetic polymorphisms and detecting their impact on susceptibility and prognosis in Egyptian AA patients. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS mEPHX 113 and 139 genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 100 patients with AA and 100 control subjects. RESULTS Both mEPHX Tyr113His and His139Arg gene polymorphisms were associated with increased risk of developing AA, and have a significant impact of bad prognosis (p value < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS These mEPHX gene polymorphisms can be considered as risk factors and predictive molecular markers for prognosis in AA patients.

Abstract
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) is a detoxifying enzyme for xenobiotic compounds. Enzymatic activity of mEH can be greatly increased by a point mutation, leading to an E404D amino acid exchange in its catalytic triad. Surprisingly, this variant is not found in any vertebrate species, despite the obvious advantage of accelerated detoxification. We hypothesized that this evolutionary avoidance is due to the fact that the mEH plays a dualistic role in detoxification and control of endogenous vascular signaling molecules. To test this, we generated mEH E404D mice and assessed them for detoxification capacity and vascular dynamics. In liver microsomes from these mice, turnover of the xenobiotic compound phenanthrene-9,10-oxide was four times faster compared to WT liver microsomes, confirming accelerated detoxification. mEH E404D animals also showed faster metabolization of a specific class of endogenous eicosanoids, arachidonic acid-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs). Significantly higher DHETs/EETs ratios were found in mEH E404D liver, urine, plasma, brain and cerebral endothelial cells compared to WT controls, suggesting a broad impact of the mEH mutant on endogenous EETs metabolism. Because EETs are strong vasodilators in cerebral vasculature, hemodynamics were assessed in mEH E404D and WT cerebral cortex and hippocampus using cerebral blood volume (CBV)-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Basal CBV0 levels were similar between mEH E404D and control mice in both brain areas. But vascular reactivity and vasodilation in response to the vasodilatory drug acetazolamide were reduced in mEH E404D forebrain compared to WT controls by factor 3 and 2.6, respectively. These results demonstrate a critical role for mEH E404D in vasodynamics and suggest that deregulation of endogenous signaling pathways is the undesirable gain of function associated with the E404D variant.

Abstract
Gender-related differences in the association between polymorphism of xenobiotic-metabolising enzymes or non-genetic biomarkers and susceptibility to oxidative stress was assessed in healthy middle-aged Serbian adults, by urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG/creatinine) and total antioxidant status in serum (TAOS). Females were more susceptible to oxidative stress. In both genders, positive predictor of the antioxidative protection was serum triglyceride, while BMI <25 kg/m(2) was associated with oxidative stress. Susceptibility to oxidative stress in males was associated with GSTT1*null allele and increased serum iron, but in females, it was decreased serum bilirubin. Early identification of the risk factors could be important in the prevention of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Purpose Previous studies investigating the association between EPHX1 polymorphisms (Tyr113His and His139Arg) and cancer risk have yielded inconsistent results. This meta-analysis was performed to derive a more precise estimation of relationship between two EPHX1 polymorphisms and risk of different types of cancer. Methods Data were extracted from relevant studies detected by a systematic literature search. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of the association between EPHX1 polymorphisms and cancer risk. Results This meta-analysis carefully collected 99 studies on these two polymorphisms and cancer risk published up to March 2014, consisting of 45 studies (20,091 cases and 27,396 controls) for Tyr113His and 54 studies (19,437 cases and 27,289 controls) for His139Arg. The results in overall population did not show any significant association between these two polymorphisms and cancer risk for all genetic models. However, EPHX1 Tyr113His homozygote individuals have a significantly increased risk of cancer among Asians (homozygote model: OR =1.46, 95% CI=1.05–2.03; recessive model: OR =1.39, 95% CI =1.10–1.76) and mixed population (homozygote model: OR =1.17, 95% CI =1.02–1.34; recessive model: OR =1.17, 95% CI =1.02–1.33), but not Caucasians. Conclusion His/His genotype of EPHX1 Tyr113His polymorphism is a risk factor for developing caner for Asian and mixed population, while no evidence was found for the association between the EPHX1 His139Arg polymorphism and increased cancer risk.

Abstract
Previous case-control studies assessing the association between microsomal epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1) T113C and susceptibility to lung cancer reported conflicting results. Thus, a systemic review and meta-analysis of published studies were performed to assess the possible association. PubMed and Embase databases were searched for all eligible studies. The strength of the association between EPHX1 T113C polymorphism and lung cancer risk was estimated by the pooled odds ratios (ORs) with its 95 % confidence interval. Twenty-four individual case-control studies involving a total of 4,970 lung cancer cases and 8,917 controls were finally included into the meta-analysis. When all 24 studies were included into the meta-analysis, the pooled results suggested that there was no association between EPHX1 T113C polymorphism and lung cancer risk under all four comparison models, and all P values for the pooled ORs were more than 0.05. In the subgroup analysis of Caucasians, the pooled results suggested that EPHX1 T113C polymorphism was associated with decreased risk of lung cancer under all four comparison models, and all P values for the pooled ORs were less than 0.05. However, in the subgroup analysis of Asians, the pooled results suggested that EPHX1 T113C polymorphism was associated with increased risk of lung cancer under three comparison models, and all P values for the pooled ORs were less than 0.05. There was no risk of publication bias. This current meta-analysis suggests that EPHX1 T113C polymorphism is associated with lung cancer risk, and there is an obvious race-specific effect in the association.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of mEPHX1 polymorphisms on risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insulin resistance (IR). One hundred and twelve patients with the diagnosis of T2DM and 150 control subjects were enrolled in the study. We investigated the two polymorphisms of the mEPHX1 gene (exon 3 Tyr113His and exon 4 His139Arg) using PCR-RFLP. Among diabetics, the frequencies obtained for the exon 3 mEPHX1 Tyr113 and His113 alleles were 46.9 and 53.1 %, respectively. In the control group, the frequencies were 70.7 and 29.3 %, respectively (P = 0.0001, OR = 2.73, 95 % CI = 1.9-3.91). The prevalence of mEPHX1 exon 3 Tyr/His and His/His was statistically significant (P = 0.004; 0.0001, respectively) when compared with the mEPHX1 exon 3 Tyr/Tyr homozygous carriers in both T2DM patients and in controls. We found that the His113 allele carriers had higher fasting insulin level, HOMA-IR, β cell activity, and lower insulin sensitivity compared to the wild type (P = 0.0001, 0.029, 0.0001, and 0.001, respectively). In contrast, there was no significant difference in exon 4 polymorphisms between patients and controls. However, our data revealed that the His139/His139 genotype carriers had higher fasting insulin level, and lower insulin sensitivity compared to Arg139 allele carriers (P = 0.02, and 0.001, respectively). Our study has shown for the first time that minor Tyr113 allele of mEPHX1 polymorphism had a higher risk of T2DM and IR occurrence with lower insulin sensitivity, while mEPHX1 exon 4 polymorphism had no significant association with T2DM and IR.
