چکیده انگلیسی
The expression of copper zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1), manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT) genes have been detected in human skin fibroblast cells for 2 year normal child (control), 50 year old normal male and female and a 1 year old Down Syndrome (DS) male and female with established trisomy karyotype using the RT-PCR technique. Differential expression of these genes is quantified individually against a β-Actin gene that has been employed as an internal control. The immunoblotting of cell lysate proteins with polyclonal antibodies exhibit SOD1 (16 kD), SOD2 (40 kD), GPx (23 and 92 kD), CAT (64 kD), and Actin (43 kD) as translational products. The results demonstrate that the enhancement in the level of mRNAs encoding SOD1 in DS male and female, as well as aged male and female are 51, 21, 31 and 50% respectively compared to the normal child (control). In SOD2, DS male and female display higher (176%) and lower (26%) levels of expression whereas aged male and female exhibit enhanced levels of expression (66 and 119%) respectively compared to the control. This study demonstrates that DS affects the female less than the male whereas in the aging process, the female is more prone to oxidative damage than the male. These results not only indicate that the level of GPx mRNA is constant except in DS male, which shows a downward regulation but that even CAT mRNA is upward regulated in aged as well as in DS males and females. These disproportionate changes in anti-oxidant genes, which are incapable of coping with over expressed genes, may contribute towards the aging process, dementia and Down syndrome.
