Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid administration or soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibition attenuates renal fibrogenesis in obstructive nephropathy.
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are arachidonic acid metabolites with biological effects, including antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic functions. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH)-mediated hydrolysis of EETs to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs) attenuates these effects. Recent studies have demonstrated that inhibition of sEH prevents renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis and inflammation in the chronic kidney disease model. Given the pathophysiological role of the EET pathway in chronic kidney disease, we investigated if administration of EET regioisomers and/or sEH inhibition will promote antifibrotic and renoprotective effects in renal fibrosis following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). EETs administration abolished tubulointerstitial fibrogenesis, as demonstrated by reduced fibroblast activation and collagen deposition after UUO. The inflammatory response was prevented as demonstrated by decreased neutrophil and macrophage infiltration and expression of cytokines in EET-administered UUO kidneys. EET administration and/or sEH inhibition significantly reduced M1 macrophage markers, whereas M2 macrophage markers were highly upregulated. Furthermore, UUO-induced oxidative stress, tubular injury, and apoptosis were all downregulated following EET administration. Combined EET administration and sEH inhibition, however, had no additive effect in attenuating inflammation and renal interstitial fibrogenesis after UUO.

期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Physiology - Renal Physiology publishes original manuscripts on timely topics in both basic science and clinical research. Published articles address a broad range of subjects relating to the kidney and urinary tract, and may involve human or animal models, individual cell types, and isolated membrane systems. Also covered are the pathophysiological basis of renal disease processes, regulation of body fluids, and clinical research that provides mechanistic insights. Studies of renal function may be conducted using a wide range of approaches, such as biochemistry, immunology, genetics, mathematical modeling, molecular biology, as well as physiological and clinical methodologies.
