Obesity is a global epidemic and a common risk factor for endothelial dysfunction, and the subsequent development of diabetes and vascular diseases such as hypertension. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are CYP450-derived metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) that contribute to vascular protection by stimulating vasodilation and inhibiting inflammation. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a stress response protein that plays an important cytoprotective role against oxidative insult in diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We recently demonstrated interplay between EETs and HO-1 in the attenuation of adipogenesis. We examined whether adipocyte dysfunction in mice fed a high fat (HF) diet could be prevented by endothelial-specific targeting of the human CYP epoxygenase, CYP2J2. Tie2-CYP2J2 transgenic mice, fed a HF diet, had a reduction in body weight gain, blood glucose, insulin levels and inflammatory markers. Tie2-CYP2J2 gene targeting restored HF-mediated decreases in vascular HO-1, Cyp2C44, sEH, peNOS, pAKT, and pAMPK protein expression, thus improving vascular function. These changes translated into decreased inflammation and oxidative stress within adipose tissue and decreased PPARγ, C/EBPα, Mest, and aP2 expression and increased UCP1 and UCP2 expression, reflecting the effect of vascular EET overproduction on adipogenesis. The current study documents a direct link between endothelial-specific EET production and adipogenesis, further implicating the EET-HO-1 crosstalk as an important cytoprotective mechanism in the amelioration of vascular and adipocyte dysfunction resulting from diet-induced obesity.
