Title in Portuguese
Avaliação da influência do polimorfismo Pro198Leu da Glutationa Peroxidase sobre o estresse oxidativo em população exposta ao chumbo
Keywords in Portuguese
chumbo
estresse oxidativo.
Glutationa peroxidase
polimorfismo
Abstract in Portuguese
A enzima glutationa peroxidase (GPx-1) possui um importante papel na detoxificação de espécies reativas de oxigênio. Neste estudo foi verificada a influência do polimorfismo Pro198Leu da GPx-1 nos níveis de malondialdeído (MDA) e proteínas carboniladas de 84 voluntários expostos ambientalmente ao chumbo (28 homens e 56mulheres; idade: 18 a 60 anos). Os genótipos para o polimorfismo Pro198Leu da GPx-1 foram determinados por PCR seguido por digestão com enzima de restrição. Chumbo no plasma (Pb_P) e chumbo no sangue total (Pb_S) foram determinados por espectrometria de massas com plasma indutivamente acoplado e espectrometria de absorção atômica com forno de grafite, respectivamente. As freqüências alélicas para os alelos T (que codifica o aminoácido prolina) e C (que codifica o aminoácido leucina) da GPx-1 foram 0,73 e 0,27, respectivamente. Os voluntários foram separados em dois grupos, de acordo com a presença ou ausência do alelo que codifica leucina. Não foi encontrada diferença significativa para as concentrações de Pb_P e Pb_S, bem como para os marcadores de estresse oxidativo entre os grupos. Deste modo, os resultados obtidos sugerem que o polimorfismo Pro198Leu da GPx-1 não torna indivíduos ambientalmente expostos ao chumbo, mais suscetíveis aos danos do estresse oxidativo induzidos pelo metal.

Abstract in English
Glutathione peroxidase (GPx-1) plays an important role in scavenger reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study was carried out to assess the effects of GPx-1 gene polymorphism (Pro198Leu) on malondialdehyde (MDA) and carbonyl protein ratio in 84 subjects environmentally exposed to lead. Genotypes for the GPx-1 Pro198Leu polymorphism were determined by PCR and restriction fragment length digestion. Lead in plasma (Pb_P) and lead in total blood (Pb_B) were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, respectively. The allele frequencies for T (which express the proline aminoacid) and C (which express the leucine aminoacid) were 0.73 e 0.27, respectively. The volunteers were divided in two groups, according to the presence or absence of C allele. No significant differences were found in Pb_P and Pb_B, as well as for the other oxidative biomarkers between the groups. Therefore, the obtained results suggest that the GPx-1 Pro198Leu polymorphism do not affect individuals environmentally exposed to lead greater susceptible to oxidative damage induced for this metal.
