Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase in Atherosclerosis
Like many eicosanoids, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) have multiple biological functions, including reduction of blood pressure, inflammation, and atherosclerosis in multiple species. Hydration of EETs by the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is the major route of their degradation to the less bioactive diols. Inhibition of the sEH stabilizes EETs, thus, enhancing the beneficial effects of EETs...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and expression of murine liver soluble epoxide hydrolase.
A clofibrate-induced mouse liver cDNA library was prepared and used to isolate the coding sequence for soluble epoxide hydrolase. A 1668-base pair (bp) clone was isolated and found to contain a 1269-bp open reading frame coding for 423 amino acids. Subsequent RNA polymerase chain reaction resulted in the isolation of 396 bp of additional 5'-sequence. Translation of the resulting 1659-bp open re...
متن کاملDistribution and expression of soluble epoxide hydrolase in human brain.
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid, which function in the brain to regulate cerebral blood flow and protect against ischemic brain injury. EETs are converted by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) to the corresponding inactive diol metabolites. Previous animal studies have indicated that sEH gene deletion or treatment with sEH inhibitors results in ...
متن کاملSoluble epoxide hydrolase: gene structure, expression and deletion.
Mammalian soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) converts epoxides to their corresponding diols through the addition of a water molecule. sEH readily hydrolyzes lipid signaling molecules, including the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), epoxidized lipids produced from arachidonic acid by the action of cytochrome p450s. Through its metabolism of the EETs and other lipid mediators, sEH contributes to the...
متن کاملExpression and regulation of soluble epoxide hydrolase in adipose tissue.
Obesity is an increasingly important public health issue reaching epidemic proportions. Visceral obesity has been defined as an important element of the metabolic syndrome and expansion of the visceral fat mass has been shown to contribute to the development of insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. To identify novel contributors to cardiovascular and metabolic abnormalities in obesity,...
