Transgenic CuZn-superoxide dismutase inhibits NO synthase induction in experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been postulated to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of SAH and subsequent cerebral vasospasm. The inhibitory effect of CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) on the induction of iNOS after SAH was examined by using transgenic mice overexpressing CuZn-SOD. METHODS SO...

Amelioration of vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage in transgenic mice overexpressing CuZn-superoxide dismutase.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To clarify the effect of superoxide dismutase (SOD) on vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), we investigated sequential changes in arterial diameter after SAH in transgenic mice overexpressing CuZn-SOD (SOD-1). METHODS SOD-transgenic mice and nontransgenic littermates (35 to 40 g) were subjected to SAH produced by endovascular perforation of left anterior cereb...

CuZn - superoxide dismutase ( CuZnSOD ) transgenic mice show

_, We have used female and male transgenic (Tg) mice that carry the complete sequence of the human copper-zinc (CuZn) , superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene in order to assess the lethal effects of methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and methylene,_ im dioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). In contrast to non-Tg mice, both heterozygous and homozygous SOD-Tg mice showed resistance to the lethal effects of both dru...

Gene transfer of extracellular superoxide dismutase failed to prevent cerebral vasospasm after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We examined the therapeutic effect of human extracellular superoxide dismutase (ECSOD) gene transfer in the prevention of delayed cerebral vasospasm after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) because it was reported ECSOD relieved early-stage vasospasm. METHODS Twenty mongrel dogs were divided randomly into 4 groups to serve as control, SAH, SAH+adenovirus ECSOD (...

Cell death after exposure to subarachnoid hemolysate correlates inversely with expression of CuZn-superoxide dismutase.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Subarachnoid hemolysate (SAH) has been associated with oxidative brain injury, cell death, and apoptosis. We hypothesized that over-expression of CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) would protect against injury after SAH, whereas reduction of its expression would exacerbate injury. METHODS Saline (n=16) or hemolysate (n=50) was injected into transgenic mice overexpress...
