Abstract: This invention discloses diagnosis of risk of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity by measurement of increased expression of soluble epoxide hydrolase in vitro and in vivo in cells, tissues or animals including measurement of increased levels of soluble epoxide hydrolase metabolites, e.g., 14,15-DHET and 11,12-DHET, in biological fluids. This invention also includes diagnosis of risk of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity by measuring increased levels of oxidative stress in cells, tissues or animals including measurement of increased levels of oxidative stress biomarkers, e.g., 8-isoprostane, in biological fluids. Fatty acid and protein biomarkers to diagnose the risk of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity are detected using various detection methods including mass spectrometry and immunoassay such as ELISA, Western blot analysis or label-free microwell and nanowell technologies.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of obtaining miRNA biomarkers by data-search of up-regulated microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer and screening the miRNA biomarkers to identify cancer kind- and stage-specific miRNA biomarker(s) using cancer cells, tissues and biological fluids. This invention includes obtaining lung cancer-specific miRNA biomarkers including early (Stage I) lung cancer miRNA biomarkers and identification of anti-cancer miRNA (complementary miRNA, DNA and their derivatives) in order to ameliorate diseases. This invention relates to novel utility of nanowell electrodes to detect target molecules in biological samples. The invention teaches methods to increase sensitivity of nanowell electrodes to detect target molecules including miRNA, RNA and DNA in biological samples to diagnose cancer and other diseases and monitoring prognosis and response to therapy.

Abstract: A method to assess hypertension by measuring the amount of free and conjugated hydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETS) and metabolites of DHETs, which are metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) epoxygenases and epoxide hydrolases, in a biological sample which contains the DHETs (using any methods including GC/MS or ELISA) is disclosed. The method further included determining the amount of molecules containing a DHET-specific epitope immunoreactive with antibodies produced against DHETs present in the sample. This amount is compared with a control sample(s). Hypertension is determined through the comparison wherein the amount of increase of free and conjugated DHETs and metabolites of DHETs in the sample isolated from an organism. The present invention also provides a method to assess catalytic activity of AA epoxygenases using immunoassays by measuring the amounts of NADPH-independent epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and total (NADPH-dependent+independent) EETs.
