Project #1: Study on hypertension- and cardiovascular disease-induced by metabolism of epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH): Funded by NIEHS SBIR contracts.
Arachidonic acid (AA) is biotransformed to EET by AA epoxygenases, CYP2C and 2J. The EET has potent vasoactive properties. The EET is hydrolyzed to inactive dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (DHET) by sEH.
Our laboratory found sEH-dependent hypertension (4 US patents) and developed ELISA and nanowell technologies to detect 14,15-DHET (sEH metabolite) in blood and urine (>80 articles have been published). Drug companies screened sEH inhibitors using the 14,15-DHET ELISA to develop drugs to treat hypertension, kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Project #2: Study on biomarkers to predict cancer therapy related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) in the area of Cardio-Oncology: Funded by NHLBI SBIR contract.
We found levels of 14,15-DHET (sEH metabolite) in blood are elevated prior to major changes in cardiac structure and function after exposure to anthracyclines, e.g., doxorubicin (DOX) (US patent pending). Early identification of patients susceptible to chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity could lead to targeted drug treatment and reduced cardiac impairment.
Project #3: Studies on biomarkers of lung, prostate and breast cancers:
1. Development of site-specific antibodies for O-GlcNAcylated proteins in cancer, e.g., Thr-58-O-GlcNAcylated c-myc and Ser-149-O-GlcNAcylated p53, that allow the identification of glycosylated biomarkers in cancer: Funded by NCI SBIR contracts.
2. Identification of early (Stage I) lung cancer miRNA biomarkers using qRT-PCR and novel label-free nanoarray technology: Funded by NCI SBIR contract.
3. Improvement of prostate cancer diagnosis using a multiplex test of PSA, GDF-15 (NAG-1) and glycan-binding auto-IgG in plasma: Funded by NCI SBIR grant.
Project #4: Development of mitochondrial DNA damage (funded by NIEHS SBIR grant) and copy number kits and 8-isoprostane oxidative stress ELISA. The 8-isoprostane ELISA was used to study differential 8-isoprostane levels in sewage wastewater effluents from metro Detroit communities.
Project #5: Development of sensitive and specific bisphenol A (BPA) ELISA and studies on differential BPA levels in sewage wastewater effluents from metro Detroit communities and BPA concentrations in liquid supernatants of imported canned foods.
