According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women of most racial/ethnic groups in the United States, including African Americans, Hispanics, and whites. About 610,000 people die of cardiovascular disease (CVD) every year, accounting for 1 in every 4 deaths (41). Because many known risk factors for heart disease are hereditary, understanding the connection between genetics, particularly heritable polymorphisms, and cardiovascular disease risk is of great importance. This is a cross-sectional, controlled study designed to investigate the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) - a cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenase gene CYP2J2 SNP, CYP2J2 7, and a soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) gene EPHX2 SNP encoding a K55R variant - with altered endothelial function in humans. Healthy adults, aged 18-65 years, who are either carriers of CYP2J2 7 or EPHX2 K55R, or who are wild type (WT) with respect to either SNP will be recruited into a total of five genotype groups. Potential participants will be identified from the Environmental Polymorphisms Registry, mailed an informational letter, contacted by phone and/or email, and pre-screened for eligibility. As participants are recruited, demographic characteristics (i.e., age, gender, and race/ethnicity) will be compared between the groups, and, if necessary, recruitment will be targeted to achieve an approximate match in demographic characteristics across the groups. Pre-screened individuals will provide verbal consent to refrain from taking certain as needed supplements/medications that could alter endothelial function and recreational drugs (such as marijuana, cocaine and amphetamines) prior to the study visit, and will be mailed an informed consent form, medical history form, a urine collection cup, and pre-visit instructions. Participants will attend a single study visit that will take place at the NIEHS Clinical Research Unit. During this visit, written informed consent will be obtained, and there will be a final screening and eligibility determination including medical history review, assessment of vital signs, physical examination, carbon monoxide measurement, pregnancy test (if applicable), and electrocardiogram (ECG). In eligible participants, a lipid panel will be performed and endothelial function will be assessed non-invasively by brachial artery ultrasound (i.e., flow-mediated dilation) and digital peripheral arterial tonometry. Blood and urine (first void) samples will be collected for biomarker analyses, which will be conducted in the Zeldin laboratory at NIEHS. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether individuals who are homozygous or heterozygous for the CYP2J2 7 or EPHX2 K55R SNPs exhibit altered endothelial function compared with individuals who are WT for that SNP. As a secondary objective, the impact of these two SNPs on inflammatory and CYP epoxygenase pathway biomarkers will be examined.
