| Abstract | The outcome of sepsis occurs due to influence of environmental and genetic factors besides genes variants whose expression support its outcome or not. Oxidative stress is associated to the pathogenicity of sepsis, occurring when there is a reactive species overproduction associated with inflammation. The aim of this study was to characterize the cellular redox status of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with either −9Ala (AA) or −9Val (VV) SOD2 genotypes and evaluate their response to oxidative stress induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The PBMCs were isolated from the blood of 30 healthy human volunteers (15 volunteers for each allele) and the following assays were performed: antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase; catalase; glutathione peroxidase), total radical-trapping antioxidant parameter, non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity (total antioxidant reactivity), and quantification of conjugated dienes (lipid peroxidation). At basal conditions (i.e., not stimulated by LPS), cells from 47C allele carriers showed higher activities of CAT and SOD, as well as higher TAR compared to 47T allele. However, when 47CC cells were challenged with LPS, we observed a higher shift toward a pro-oxidant state compared to 47TT cells. The CAT activity and lipid peroxidation were increased in cells with both alleles, but SOD activity increased significantly only in 47TT cells. These results demonstrate that SOD2 polymorphisms are associated with different cellular redox environments at both basal and LPS-stimulated states, and identification of this polymorphism may be important for a better understanding of pro-inflammatory conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
