The application discloses application of an sEH inhibitor in preparation of a
medicine for treating IgA
nephropathy. The application proposes that an sEH inhibitor (such as t-AUCB, N-benzyl linoleamide) is used to inhibit sEH activity, restore the level of endogenous anti-
inflammatory mediator epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EETs), and rebuild the EETs / DiHETs
metabolic balance. Experiments prove that the sEH inhibitor can significantly reduce the
urine albumin /
creatinine ratio of an IgA
nephropathy model mouse, improve the blood
urea and
creatinine levels, and reduce glomerular IgA deposition. Mechanically, the therapy can restore the EETs level, down-regulate the content of
hydrolysis product DiHETs, rebuild the EETs / DiHETs
metabolic balance, and then inhibit the expression of renal IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and other pro-
inflammatory factors. It is clear that the sEH / EET axis is a key pathogenic pathway of IgA
nephropathy, and a novel metabolic targeting strategy is provided for developing a specific
medicine for treating IgA nephropathy.
