In the course of acute pancreatitis, interleukin-6 plays an important role as a mediator in the inflammatory response. The course of inflammatory disease is associated with intensive oxidative stress, which may activate transcription factors leading to gene-expression changes. Isoenzymes of superoxide dismutase are involved in the defense against free radicals. This study aimed to evaluate changes in IL-6 concentration and the concentration/activity of superoxide dismutase isoenzymes (SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3) in the blood of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) in terms of rs1800795 polymorphism in the IL6 gene. In the smoking AP patients group with the GC and GG genotypes, the plasma SOD1 concentration was significantly higher (p = 0.0146 and p = 0.0250, respectively) than in patients with CC genotype for SNP rs1800795 in the IL6 gene. An increase in SOD1 concentration in erythrocytes of AP patients with GC genotypes was also demonstrated compared to the individuals from the group with GG genotype (p = 0.0408). Furthermore, a positive correlation between IL-6 and SOD1 concentrations in the plasma of AP patients with GC genotype for SNP rs1800795 was shown. These results indicate that SOD1 may play a protective role against oxidative damage induced by inflammation in the group of AP patients with GC genotype. |
