Abstract

The balance of reactive species( ROS ) effect is occured  by  the action of   enzymatic antioxidants and  non-enzymatic antioxidants. ROS-induced apoptosis is used by the human body to eliminate precancerous and cancerous cells. This study aimed to assess the OS by estimation of malondialdehyde (MDA) , antioxidants as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione(GSH) and apoptosis markers as protein (P53) and b-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) in patients with ALL of children.This study produced 50 children diagnosed acute lymphoplastic leukemia (ALL) (mean age, 5.8 years) compared to 50 healthy controls (mean age, 5.6 years). Significant decreases obtained in serum P53 (pg/ml) and B-CL2 (U/ml), MDA (nmol/ml) and GSH (nmol/mg) with ALL comparing with the normal control group. But, significant increases were found in serum SOD(U/ml) and CAT(U/L) with ALL compared to the control group (p<0.001). .Conclusion: A strong association between apoptosis (P53 and BCL-2) ,oxidative stress(MDA) and (SOD, CAT, GSH) antioxidants with acute lymphoplastic leukemia .
