The gene was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends （RACE） method. Northern blotting was used to show the profile of the gene expression, and the enzyme activity was mensurated by NBT deoxidization method in different growth periods. The full length of a gene of cytosolic copper/zinc superoxide dismutase （Cu/Zn-SOD） was isolated from cotton （GenBank Accession Number： DQ445093）. The sequence of cDNA contained 682 bp, the opening reading frame 456 bp, and encoded polypeptide 152 amino acids with the predicted molecular mass of 15.03 kD and theoretical pI of 6.09. The amino acid sequence was similar with the other plants from 82 to 87%. Southern blotting showed that the gene had different number of copies in different cotton species. Northern blotting suggested that the gene had different expression in different tissues and development stages. The enzyme activity was the highest in peak flowering stage. The cotton cytosolic （Cu/Zn-SOD） had lower copies in the upland cotton. The copper/zinc superoxide dismutase mRNA expressing level showed regular changing in the whole development stages; it was lower in the former stages, higher in latter stages and the highest at the peak flowering stage. The curve of the copper/zinc superoxide dismutase mRNA expressing level was consistent with that of the Cu/Zn-SOD enzyme activity. The copper/zinc superoxide dismutase mRNA expressing levels of different organs showed that the gene was higher in the root, leaf, and lower in the flower.展开更多

Aerobic organisms use oxygen in processes that accidentally or deliberately generate aggressive species for the biologic components in the form of radicals. Radicals were looked initially as “harmful” molecules and this is true for large quantities but in small or even moderate amounts these molecules prove to have a physiological role. Reactive species are highly reactive and as a consequence are short living species. Their impact is supposed to be limited in the proximity area of their formation. Instead recent evidences indicate their implications in cellular signaling suggesting that individual chemical properties of reactive species make a difference in their biological role. This paper presents superoxide, nitric oxide and peroxide radical generation under cellular changing conditions, the adapting behavior of the enzymes that synthesize and remove them as well as some therapeutic target in superoxide related pathology.展开更多

In this report, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities produced by these bacteria were measured, and the change of SOD and CAT activities by 20 keV N+ beam exposure was examined. Their activities were increased by N+ beam exposure from 8x 1014 ions/cm2 to 6x1015 ions/cm2.The treatment of H2O2 and [ CHC13 +CH3 CH2OH ] and the measurement of absorption spectrum showed that the increase in SOD activity was resulted from inducible activities of MnSOD in D. radiodurans AS1.633 by N+ beam exposure . These results suggested that this bacteria possess inducible defense mechanisms against the deleterious effects of oxidization.展开更多

The natural leader peptide of P.leiognathi Cu, Zn-SOD and a heparin-binding peptide containing a stretch of 7 Arg were fused to the N-terminal and the C-terminal of human Cu, Zn-SOD respectively. The resulted hybrid enzyme had not only a normal SOD activity but also a high affinity for heparin eluted on the heparin-Sepharose column at 0.4 mol/L NaCl. Some properties, such as the optimum pH, the thermostability and the half-life in the circulation of rats, were also analyzed.展开更多

In DDC group, 3 out of 50 rats developed cancer and 4 developed atypical hyperplasia of hronchial epithelium within 35 to 40 days.In SOD group, no cancer developed in all of the 52 rats.and only one had atypical hyperplasia in the lungs. Only one of 42 control rats had cancer and 2 rats had atypical hyperplasia of bronchial epithelium . The difference in cancer frequency between groups DDC and SOD was significant (P<0.05). The results suggest that there is a synergism between DDC and MCA in the induction of lung cancer, while SOD can inhibit MCA-induced lung cancer development. The mechanism of the effect of SOD and DDC was discussed.展开更多

MethOds The superoxide dismutase activities and lipids composltion of erythrocytes in 18 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and 16 healthy controls were measured. Results Superoxide dlsmutase(SOD) activites of erythrocytes were lower in dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) patients than that in healthy controls (P <o. oo1 ). The lipids composition of erythrocytes has changed in the DCM patients compared with healthy controls: total liplds changed little (P >o. o5); total phospholipids were lower, but not significantly (P>o. o5): total cholesterol increased significantly (P <o. o5). The cholesterol to phospholipids molecular ratio of erythrocyte membrane has increased remarkably (P >o. o5). Conclusion It can be supposed that decreased SOD activitles play an important role in the damage or membrane system and the pathogensis of DCM.展开更多

Methods: mammalian vectors expressing sense and anti sense human Mn--SOD(SOD2) were constructed and transfected into Eca 109 esophageal carcinoma cells in order to change intracellularo2 level specifically by increasing or decreasing the intracellular SOD2 level. The expression of oncogene wasdetected via RNA dot blotting and immunohistochemical method. and the alteration of cell cycle was observed viaflowcytometry. Results: The gene expression vectors were transfected into cells. In SOD2 transfected cells,intracellular SOD2 activity increased 5 folds while SOD1 kept unchanged; intracellular O2 was decreased over49%; the expression of hcf 2 was down regulated while the expression of p53 and c Ha ras were up--regulated.Flowcytometry assay showed the number of S--phase cells was reduced. In anti--sense SOD2 trans feeted cells,intracellular SOD2 activity was almost reduced to zero while SOD1 increasesd. which resulted in the increase ofintracellular total SOD activity. and the intracellular of level was decreased over 32 %; the expression of hcf--2.p53 and c Ha ras were all up--regulated. and the alteration of S--phase cells number was not obvious. Conclusion:1. To change intracellular O2; level via trans feeting SOD2 gene into cell is feasible, but it still need furtherimprovement. 2. Alteration of intracellular 02 can affect the expression of hcf--2, p53 and c Hauras in Eca-- 109 cell.and the decrease of intracellular O2, caused by SOD2 gene transfection displayed inhibitory effect on theproliferation of Eca-- 109 esophageal carcinoma cells.展开更多
