Proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1beta [IL-1beta], tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha], and gamma-interferon [IFN-gamma]) initiate a variety of signal cascades in pancreatic beta-cells that affect the expression level of genes involved in both the destruction and the protection of the beta-cell. The generation of nitric oxide (NO) via the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and oxygen free r...
Gene therapy on the basis of oncolytic adenovirus is a novel approach for human cancer therapeutics. We aim to investigate whether it will synergistically reinforce their antiovarian cancer activities when the combined use of ZD55-manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and cisplatin was performed. The experiments in vitro showed that ZD55-MnSOD enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis and causes re...
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) selectively induce mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) production in various cell types. We have evaluated the capacity of tumor cells that overexpress MnSOD to recover from the cytostatic and cytotoxic effects of cytokines (IL-1 and TNF), chemotherapeutic agents, and ionizing irradiation. Clones of human melanoma cell line, ...
Mesalamine (5-ASA) is effective in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. However, the mechanisms of action of 5-ASA remain unclear. IEC-6 and IRD-98, nontransformed rat small intestinal epithelial cell lines, were used to examine the effect of 5-ASA on the expression of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Rats were given 5-ASA enemas to determine the effect on colonic MnSOD expressi...
The most important cellular protective mechanisms against oxidative stress are antioxidant enzymes. Their action is based on decomposal of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their transformation to H2O2. Within the mitochondria manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) affords the major defense against ROS. In this study we investigated tissue sections from 101 breast carcinomas for the immunohisto...
Induction of manganous superoxide dismutase by tumor necrosis factor: possible protective mechanism.
Manganous superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) scavenges potentially toxic superoxide radicals produced in the mitochondria. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was found to induce the messenger RNA for MnSOD, but not the mRNAs for other antioxidant or mitochondrial enzymes tested. The increase in MnSOD mRNA occurred rapidly and was blocked by actinomycin D, but not by cycloheximide. Induction of M...
Antioxidant enzymes maintain cellular redox homeostasis. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), an enzyme located in mitochondria, is the key enzyme that protects the energy-generating mitochondria from oxidative damage. Levels of MnSOD are reduced in many diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and psoriasis. Overexpression of MnSOD in tumor cells can significantly attenuate t...
Introduction of a normal human chromosome 6 into human melanoma cell lines results in suppression of tumorigenicity. This suggests that a gene(s) on chromosome 6 controls the malignant phenotype of human melanoma. Because antioxidants can suppress the tumor-promotion phase of carcinogenesis, and because the antioxidant enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) has been localized to a region...
Chronic pancreatitis, K-ras oncogene mutations, and the subsequent generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) appear to be linked to pancreatic cancer. ROS have also been suggested to be mitogenic and capable of stimulating cell proliferation. Cells contain antioxidant enzymes to regulate steady state levels of ROS produced by products of metabolism. The aims of our study were to determine ant...
PURPOSE Apoptosis of retinal capillary cells is an early event in the pathogenesis of retinopathy in diabetes, and oxidative stress has been linked to accelerated apoptosis of retinal capillary cells. Mitochondria are the major endogenous source of superoxide, and superoxide is considered to be a causal link between elevated glucose and the major biochemical pathways postulated to be involved i...
