Abstract

Cytokine levels in body fluids are generally used for evaluation of the immun system’s responses to stimuli. But more stable markers to monitoring the inflammatory reactions are needed due to being the majority of cytokines biologically labile, cleaning of the circulation in a short period after secre- tion quickly, in most cases, acting locally. The measurement of neopterin levels in body fluids could be used to following the activities of cellular immune system due to the stability of molecular structure. Neopterin is a pteridine molecule which 253 dalton molecular weight. Neopterin is synthe- sized by guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase-1 (GTPCH-I) from GTP in body. Neopterin synthesis and secretion increase as a result of stimulation of the cellular immune system. It is understood that, the measurement of the neopterin levels could be helpful to follow-up for cancer patients, the patients undergoing organ transplantation, infectios diseases and clinical conditions which cellular immune system is active such as preeclampsia.

Özet

Bağışıklık sisteminin uyaranlara verdiği tepkilerin değerlendirilmesinde, genellikle vücut sıvılarındaki sitokin düzeyleri kullanılmaktadır. Ancak sito- kinlerin büyük çoğunluğunun biyolojik olarak labil olması, salınımdan kısa bir süre sonra dolaşımdan hızla temizlenmesi ve çoğu durumda lokal etkiler göstermesi gibi nedenlerle, inflamatuar reaksiyonların monitörize edilme- sinde daha stabil belirteçlere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Moleküler yapısının stabil olması nedeniyle vücut sıvılarında neopterin düzeylerinin ölçümünün, hücresel bağışıklık sisteminin aktivitelerini takip etmek için kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir. Neopterin, pteridin yapısında yaklaşık 253 dalton ağırlığı olan bir moleküldür. Neopterin, vücutta guanozin trifosfat siklohidrolaz-I (GTPSH-1) enzimi aracılığıyla GTP’den sentezlenmektedir. Hücresel bağı- şıklık sisteminin uyarılması sonucunda neopterin sentezi ve salınımı art- maktadır. Yapılan çalışmalar neticesinde; kanser hastalarının, organ trans- plantasyonu yapılan hastaların, enfeksiyon hastalıklarının, preeklampsi gibi hücresel bağışıklık sisteminin aktif rolü olan klinik durumların takibinde, ne- opterin düzeylerinin ölçülmesinin faydalı bilgiler verebileceği anlaşılmıştır.
