Abstract
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) have pleiotropic endogenous cardiovascular protective effects and can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has shown an increased prevalence and worse prognosis over the decades. However, the role of sEH activity in HFpEF remains unclear. We enrolled 500 patients with HFpEF and 500 healthy controls between February 2010 and March 2016. Eight types of sEH-related eicosanoids were measured according to target metabolomics, and their correlation with clinical endpoints was also analyzed. The primary endpoint was cardiac mortality, and the secondary endpoint was a composite of cardiac events, including heart failure (HF) readmission, cardiogenic hospitalization, and all-cause mortality. Furthermore, the effect of sEH inhibitors on cardiac diastolic function in HFpEF was investigated in vivo and in vitro. Patients with HFpEF showed significantly enhanced EET degradation by the sEH enzyme compared with healthy controls. More importantly, sEH activity was positively correlated with cardiac mortality in patients with HFpEF, especially in older patients with arrhythmia. A consistent result was obtained in the multiple adjusted models. Decreased sEH activity by the sEH inhibitor showed a significant effective effect on the improvement of cardiac diastolic function by ameliorating lipid disorders in cardiomyocytes of HFpEF mouse model. This study demonstrated that increased sEH activity was associated with cardiac mortality in patients with HFpEF and suggested that sEH inhibition could be a promising therapeutic strategy to improve diastolic cardiac function.
