Oxidative Stress Markers (8-Isoprostane and 8-Hydroxy-2-Deoxyguanosine) in Major Depression: A Case-Control Study
Introduction: Depression is associated with activation of innate immune response leading to oxidative damage. The 8-Isoprostanes and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) are biomarkers of oxidative damage to lipids and Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) respectively. They have been independently linked...

The results obtained were analysed using relevant statistical tests on STATA version 11 (StataCorp, 2009). Results: Clinically, all patients had moderate to severe depression. BDI and HAM-D scores were raised in all cases as compared to the controls (28.81±5.60 vs 1.62±1.59 for BDI and 20.88±4.67 vs 1.33±1.43 for HAM-D, respectively). The concentration (in depressed vs controls) of plasma 8-Isoprostane (107.70±54.48 pg/mL vs 77.78±60.15 pg/mL) and serum 8-OHdG (2103.03±154 pg/mL vs 2017±164.69 pg/ mL) were significantly elevated (p-value<0.05).

Introduction: Depression is associated with activation of
innate immune response leading to oxidative damage. The
8-Isoprostanes and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) are
biomarkers of oxidative damage to lipids and Deoxyribonucleic
Acid (DNA) respectively. They have been independently linked
to depression.
Aim: To study the oxidative stress markers (8-Isoprostanes and
8-OHdG) in subjects with major depression.
Materials and Methods: In this observational case-control
study 42 cases of depression, 13-25 years of age were recruited
from Psychiatry Out Patient Department (OPD) at a tertiary-care
hospital in Delhi, India, along with 42 healthy controls. They were
assessed clinically and using psychometric evaluation scores,
Beck’s Depression Inventory-II (BDI) and Hamilton Depression
Rating Scale (HAM-D). All 42 subjects were on medication with
anti-depressants {33/42 with Selective Serotonin Reuptake
Inhibitors (SSRI) 8/42 with Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCA)
and 1/42 on a combination of both}. Routine laboratory
investigations were done. Plasma 8-Isoprostane and serum
8-OHdG concentrations were measured in both cases and
controls. The results obtained were analysed using relevant
statistical tests on STATA version 11 (StataCorp, 2009).
Results: Clinically, all patients had moderate to severe
depression. BDI and HAM-D scores were raised in all cases
as compared to the controls (28.81±5.60 vs 1.62±1.59 for
BDI and 20.88±4.67 vs 1.33±1.43 for HAM-D, respectively).
The concentration (in depressed vs controls) of plasma
8-Isoprostane (107.70±54.48 pg/mL vs 77.78±60.15 pg/mL)
and serum 8-OHdG (2103.03±154 pg/mL vs 2017±164.69 pg/
mL) were significantly elevated (p-value<0.05). Though elevated
in patients belonging to both genders, showed significant
increase of 8-Isoprostane only in females and 8-OHdG only in
males as compared to their healthy controls. No correlation of
the levels of any of two markers was seen with clinical severity
of depression of patients as assessed by BDI.
Conclusion: Evidence of oxidative stress to lipids and DNA are
present in the peripheral blood. These can be explored further
in establishing the biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of
depression. |
