Lung manganese superoxide dismutase increases during cytokine-mediated protection against pulmonary oxygen toxicity in rats.

Abstract: Parenteral injection of the cytokines interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor, or of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide), protects rats against lethal pulmonary oxygen toxicity. To determine the potential importance of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in this model, we measured MnSOD mRNA and activity in lung. In addition, we confirmed that increases in activities were related to changes in MnSOD protein, which was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay (ELISA) technique. After cytokine or endotox… Show more

“…However, different tissues responded differently; skeletal muscle dramatically induced Sod2, whereas heart increased Sod2 only modestly, even though both tissues increased Gpx1 levels similarly. These results recapitulate previous work in which Sod2 mRNA (26,27), protein (26)(27)(28), and Gpx1 mRNA and activity (29) were found to be induced in response to oxidative stress. Also, Gpx1 activity was found to be increased in cultured cells overexpressing Sod2 (30).…”

“…Endotoxemia stimulates glucose uptake in all macrophage-rich tissues, including lung, spleen, and intestine [79]. The fact that lung shows the most marked increase in glucose use after LPS, and that LPS pretreatment ameliorates oxygen toxicity in the lung [80,81] suggest that the upregulated glucose metabolism may support HMS-dependent ROS detoxification in this organ as well. Taken together, these investigations reveal that, during the host response to infection, the elevated glucose use by the liver serves not only the increased energy need but also supports glucose-dependent ROS metabolism.…”

“…Of the antioxidant enzymes, MnSOD is uniquely induced in response to conditions of oxidative stress (2,26,53), emphasizing the importance of protecting the energy-producing machinery within the mitochondria from oxidative damage. Both TNF and IL-1 induce intracellular superoxide generation, which probably contributes to their cytolytic activity (41,54).…”

“…The role of MnSOD in protection from oxidative damage and the cytolytic effects of TNF was demonstrated by the discovery that overexpression of MnSOD in some TNF-sensitive cell lines conferred resistance to TNF-mediated apoptosis (52). Additionally, TNF-and IL-1-mediated induction of MnSOD has been shown to confer protection against myocardial reperfusion injury (34,35) and tissue damage due to oxidative stress (26,43). The mechanisms for the induction of MnSOD expression under all of these conditions are poorly understood.…”
