Abstract
Aims: To explore the relationship between oxidative stress biomarkers and the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) alongside notable liver function disturbances in preterm neonates.
Background: Given the immaturity of kidneys and incomplete liver development in preterm neonates, oxidative stress poses a considerable threat to their renal and hepatic health.
Objective: To find out the association between various oxidative stress biomarkers and polymorphisms of antioxidant enzymes with renal and live functions.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we gathered umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood samples for assessing oxidative stress biomarkers and identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in antioxidant enzymes. Utilizing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits, we quantified these oxidative stress biomarkers. Receiver-operating characteristics curve analysis was employed to ascertain the predictive capacity of these biomarkers, denoted by the area-under-the-curve (AUC).
Results: Our findings revealed that umbilical cord heat-shock proteins emerged as robust predictors of neonatal AKI (AUC: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.8-1) with a defined cut-off concentration of 1.8 ng/mL. Likewise, umbilical cord 8-hydroxy-2-deoxy guanosine demonstrated significant predictability for liver function alterations (AUC: 0.7; 95% CI: 0.6-0.9) at a cut-off concentration of 2487.6 pg/mL.
Conclusions: We observed significant associations between SNPs in endothelial nitric oxide synthase and catalase with both AKI and impaired liver functions. Prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings, with a particular focus on exploring potential antioxidant interventions aimed at mitigating AKI and liver function abnormalities.
目的:探讨氧化应激生物标志物与早产新生儿急性肾损伤(AKI)的发生以及明显的肝功能紊乱之间的关系:背景:早产新生儿肾脏发育不成熟,肝脏发育也不完全,因此氧化应激对他们的肾脏和肝脏健康构成了相当大的威胁:目的:了解各种氧化应激生物标志物和抗氧化酶多态性与肾功能和活体功能之间的关系:在这项横断面研究中,我们收集了脐带血和外周血样本,用于评估氧化应激生物标志物和鉴定抗氧化酶的单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)。我们利用酶联免疫吸附测定试剂盒对这些氧化应激生物标志物进行了定量分析。结果表明,脐带血中的氧化应激生物标志物具有预测能力,以曲线下面积(AUC)表示:结果:我们的研究结果表明,脐带热休克蛋白是预测新生儿AKI的可靠指标(AUC:0.92;95% CI:0.8-1),临界浓度为1.8纳克/毫升。同样,脐带8-羟基-2-脱氧鸟苷也可显著预测肝功能改变(AUC:0.7;95% CI:0.6-0.9),临界浓度为2487.6 pg/mL:我们观察到内皮一氧化氮合酶和过氧化氢酶的 SNPs 与 AKI 和肝功能受损之间存在明显关联。有必要开展前瞻性研究来验证这些发现,尤其要重点探索潜在的抗氧化干预措施,以减轻 AKI 和肝功能异常。
期刊介绍:
Current Drug Metabolism aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments in drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and drug disposition. The journal serves as an international forum for the publication of full-length/mini review, research articles and guest edited issues in drug metabolism. Current Drug Metabolism is an essential journal for academic, clinical, government and pharmaceutical scientists who wish to be kept informed and up-to-date with the most important developments. The journal covers the following general topic areas: pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and most importantly drug metabolism.
More specifically, in vitro and in vivo drug metabolism of phase I and phase II enzymes or metabolic pathways; drug-drug interactions and enzyme kinetics; pharmacokinetics, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling, and toxicokinetics; interspecies differences in metabolism or pharmacokinetics, species scaling and extrapolations; drug transporters; target organ toxicity and interindividual variability in drug exposure-response; extrahepatic metabolism; bioactivation, reactive metabolites, and developments for the identification of drug metabolites. Preclinical and clinical reviews describing the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics of marketed drugs or drug classes.
