OBJECTIVE: To determine serum levels and clinical correlation of 8-isoprostane, which is produced in vivo through free radical-catalysed peroxidation of arachidonic acid and reflects oxidative stress, in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). METHODS: Serum 8-isoprostane levels from 32 patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc (dSSc) and 25 patients with limited cutaneous SSc (lSSc) were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Serum 8-isoprostane levels were elevated in dSSc and lSSc patients by 75-fold compared with normal controls (n=32). Serum 8-isoprostane levels correlated negatively with pulmonary function, such as percentage vital capacity and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide, and correlated positively with renal vascular damage determined by colour flow Doppler ultrasonography. Serum 8-isoprostane levels also correlated positively with serum levels of IgG and anti-agalactosyl IgG autoantibody. CONCLUSION: Increased 8-isoprostane levels correlated with the severity of pulmonary fibrosis, the extent of renal vascular damage and immunological abnormalities in SSc, suggesting that enhanced oxidative stress is related to the development of SSc.
