Human extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) expression in transgenic chicken
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is a metalloprotein and functions as an antioxidant enzyme. In this study, we used lentiviral vectors to generate transgenic chickens that express the human EC-SOD gene. The recombinant lentiviruses were injected into the subgerminal cavity of freshly laid eggs. Subsequently, the embryos were incubated to hatch using phases II and III of the surrogate...
متن کاملLeukocyte-derived extracellular superoxide dismutase does not contribute to airspace EC-SOD after interstitial pulmonary injury.
The antioxidant enzyme extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is abundant in the lung and is known to limit inflammation and fibrosis following numerous pulmonary insults. Previous studies have reported a loss of full-length EC-SOD from the pulmonary parenchyma with accumulation of proteolyzed EC-SOD in the airspace after an interstitial lung injury. However, following airspace only inflam...
متن کاملExtracellular Superoxide Dismutase (ec-sod) as a Protective Factor for Risk of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
WINNING ABSTRACT: Tobacco smoke contains a high concentration of oxidants and is the primary cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is the major antioxidant enzyme in the extracellular space of the lung and is part of the lung defense against these oxidants. We hypothesized that EC-SOD is a risk factor for COPD. We found that EC-SOD pl...
متن کاملExpression and characterization of biologically active human extracellular superoxide dismutase in milk of transgenic mice.
We have targeted the expression of recombinant human extracellular superoxide dismutase, a glycosylated tetrameric metalloprotein, to the mammary gland of transgenic mice. This was achieved by using regulatory elements from either the murine whey acidic protein gene or the ovine beta-lactoglobulin gene to control expression of human extracellular superoxide dismutase cDNA. Whey acidic protein r...
متن کاملExpression of Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase in Atherosclerosis
We characterized a novel form of extracellular superoxide dismutase (ecSOD) in atherosclerotic vessels. Specific activity and protein expression of ecSOD was increased twoto threefold in apo E–deficient compared with control aortas. RNase protection assays demonstrated that the expected ecSOD transcript was not increased in either apo E–deficient mice or cholesterol-fed LDL receptor–deficient m...
