In cystic fibrosis (CF) children, we investigated the predictive impact of glutathione S-transferases (GST) activity and genotypes P1, M1 and T1, and antioxidant levels on stage-severity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection.
GST activity was determined in whole blood by spectrophotometry, and GST genotypes by multiplex PCR RFLP for 36 CF and 9 control children. Levels of glutathione in erythrocyte and vitamins A, E and C in plasma were measured by HPLC.
No difference in GST activity and no relationship between GST activity and antioxidant levels were observed in CF children as compared to controls. However, GST activity was lower in CF children with severe clinical status and infection, and the frequency of GSTP1 wild type genotype AA, prevalent in uninfected CF children (75%), decreased in infected ones (33%).
GST activity and genotype could play an important role in modulating P. aeruginosa lung infection in CF patients.
在囊性纤维化(CF)患儿中,我们研究了谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GST)活性、P1、M1和T1基因型以及抗氧化剂水平对铜绿假单胞菌肺部感染分期严重程度的预测影响。
采用分光光度法测定36例CF患儿和9例对照儿童全血中的GST活性,采用多重PCR-RFLP法测定GST基因型。通过高效液相色谱法测定红细胞中的谷胱甘肽水平以及血浆中维生素A、E和C的水平。
与对照组相比,CF患儿的GST活性无差异,且GST活性与抗氧化剂水平之间无相关性。然而,临床状态严重且感染的CF患儿的GST活性较低,未感染CF患儿中普遍存在的GSTP1野生型基因型AA的频率(75%)在感染患儿中降低(33%)。
GST活性和基因型可能在调节CF患者铜绿假单胞菌肺部感染中起重要作用。
