Objectives : The aims of this study were to evaluate changes in plasma superoxide dismutase(SOD) activities in alcohol depedence, to find out variables to influence on the SOD activities, and finally to identify the correlation of SOD activities with the alcohol-associated cognitive disorders. Methods : For 24 male alcoholics and 21 healthy male controls, plasma SOD activities were measured by spectrophotometry on 1-2 wks after alcohol withdrawal. Structured interviews and laboratory tests were also performed. Results : 1) Upon comparing SOD activities between controls and alcoholics, the SOD activities were significantly(p<0.01) lower in alcoholics($0.308{\pm}0.140$ units/mL) than in healthy controls($0.313{\pm}0.086$ units/mL). 2) Upon comparing SOD activities according to the presence of alcohol-related cognitive disorders, the SOD activities were significantly(p<0.05) lower in alcoholics with cognitive disorders($0.247{\pm}0.049$ units/mL) than in alcoholics without cognitive disorders($0.317{\pm}0.148$ units/mL). 3) Upon comparing SOD activities according to the presence of alcoholic polyneuropathy or alcohol withdrawal seizure, the SOD activities showed no significant differences between alcoholics with polyneuropathy or epilepsy and those without. 4) Upon analyzing variables influencing on the SOD activities in alcoholics, the SOD activities had the negative correlation with hemoglobin(${\gamma}=-0.433$) and severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms(${\gamma}=-0.375$). 5) Upon comparing variables according to the presence of alcohol-related cognitive disorders, the occurrence of alcoholic polyneuropathy(p<0.05) and blood phosphorus concentrations(p<0.01) were significantly higher in alcoholics with cognitive disorders than those without. 6) Upon analyzing an association between SOD activities and variables in alcoholics with cognitive disorders, the SOD activities were positively correlated with the onset age(${\gamma}=0.995$), and negatively correlated with the severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms(${\gamma}=-0.996$). Conclusions : Lower SOD activities in alcohol dependence suggested alcohol-associated cognitive disorders and alcohol withdrawal symptoms might be caused by oxidative stress.

공기중에 존재하는 여러 산화성 물질들은 호흡기의 손상과 관련이 있는 것으로 알려지고 있으며 이와같은 산화성 물질에 의한 손상은 폐에 존재하는 항산화 물질이나 항산화 효소들에 의해 감소 또는 예방될 수 있다. 저자들은 폐의 항산화방어 기전에 대한 흡연의 영향을 흰쥐에서 관찰하였다. 횐쥐를 6개피의 담배연기에 일일 20분씩 90일간 전신 폭로했을때 조직내의 catalase와 superoxlde dismutase(SOD)의 활성이 유의하게 증가되었다(p<0.05) 그러나 glutathione peroxidase의 활성도는 변화되지 않았고 thiol 화합물의 함량은 흡연 시작후 15일에 44%까지 감소되었으나 그후 정상으로 회복되었다. 한편, 횐쥐를 1, 3, 5, 10 및 20개피의 담배연기에 같은 방법으로 15일간 노출시켰을때, catalase는 개피수에 따라서 증가되었고 총 SOD의 활성도는 5개피 이하에서만 특이하게 증가되었으며 대부분 Zn-SOD이었다. 폐에는 한 종의 Cu, Zn-SOD (pI 4.9)와 CN에 내성이 있는 두종의 Mn-SOD(pI 4.7, pI 7.9)가 존재하였고, 등전점이 4.7인 Zn-SOD가 주된 동위효소로써 흡연에 의해 유도되는 형태였다. 이 결과들은 흡연으로부터 폐의 보호는 초기에는 항산화 물질들의 소모로, 그리고 만성 흡연의 경우는 항산화 효소들의 유도로 이루어지며. 특히 Zn-SOD (pI 4.7)와 catalase가 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다.

연구배경 : 노화란 반응성산소종에 의한 산화적 손상이 축적되어 세포의 기능의 저하로 초래된다고 주장되고 있다. 본 연구에서 1, 4, 8, 12개월된 정상 생쥐의 폐에서 반응성 산소종 생성의 초기에 중요한 방어기전인 superoxide dismutases(SODs) mRNA와 hydroxy radical($OH{\cdot}$)에 의한 산화적 손상의 마지막 방어기전인 metallothionein(MT) mRNA의 함량과 paraquat에 의한 유도능을 조사하였다. 방 법 : 산화적손상은 세포내에서 superoxide을 생성하는 paraquat를 투여한 후 SODs와 MT mRNAs을 RT-PCR 방법으로 측정하였다. 결 과 : 정상생쥐의 폐의 노화과정에서 Mn-SOD와 Cu/Zn-SOD, 그리고 MT mRNA의 항정상태 함량을 조사한 결과, Mn-SOD mRNA는 8개월까지는 증가하다가 12개월에서 감소하였으나, Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA는 별 변화가 없었고 12개월에 감소하였다. 그러나 MT mRNA는 어느 연령에도 변화가 없었다. 산화성 스트레스를 유발하는 paraquat에 의하여 Mn-SOD mRNA는 4개월 부터 유도되지 않았으며, Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA는 전혀 유도되지 않았다. MT mRNA는 관찰한 전 연령에서 유도되었다. 결 론 : 노화과정에서 SODs유도능의 이상이 노화의 원인 인자로 작용하고, 반면에 MT의 정상적인 유도능이 산화적 스트레스에 대하여 방어 역할을 할 가능성을 시사해주고 있다. 이와 같은 결과는 연령이 증가함에 따라 Mn-SOD, Cu/Zn-SOD, 및 MT의 발현과 유도능의 차이로 인하여 반응성 산소종에 의한 산화적 손상의 정도의 차이가 노화의 속도를 결정하는 하나의 인자로 작용할 가능성 이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Many studies reported reduced antioxidant capacity in the vasculature under hypertensive conditions. However, little is known about the effects of antihypertensive treatments on the regulation of vascular antioxidant enzymes. Thus, we hypothesized that antihypertensive treatments prevent the reduction of antioxidant enzyme activity and expression in the small vessels of angiotensin II-induced hypertensive rats (ANG). We observed the small mesenteric arteries and small renal vessels of normotensive rats (NORM), ANG, and ANG treated with a triple antihypertensive therapy of reserpine, hydrochlorothiazide, and hydralazine (ANG + TTx). Systolic blood pressure was increased in ANG, which was attenuated by 2 weeks of triple therapy (127, 191, and 143 mmHg for NORM, ANG, and ANG + TTx, respectively; p < 0.05). Total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the small mesenteric arteries of ANG was lower than that of NORM. The protein expression of SOD1 was lower in ANG than in NORM, whereas SOD2 and SOD3 expression was not different between the groups. Reduced SOD activity and SOD1 expression in ANG was not restored in ANG + TTx. Both SOD activity and SOD isoform expression in the small renal vessels of ANG were not different from those of NORM. Interestingly, SOD activity in the small renal vessels was reduced by TTx. Between groups, there was no difference in catalase activity or expression in both the small mesenteric arteries and small renal vessels. In conclusion, SOD activity in the small mesenteric arteries decreased by angiotensin II administration, but not by hypertension, which is caused by decreased SOD1 expression.

$SO_2$에 대한 양버즘나무의 내성을 증대시키고자 uniconazole, sodium benzoate 또는 ascorbic acid를 단용 또는 복합처리한 후 $SO_2$에 의한 가시피해정도, 엽록소함량 및 유리기 제거제로 활성산소의 독성을 중화시킬 수 있는 superoxide dismutase(SOD) 및 peroxidase(POD)의 활성변화를 조사하였다. Uniconazole처리에 의한 $SO_2$ 피해경감 효과는 SOD불활성제인 diethyldithiocarbamate(DDTC)를 다시 처리하므로써 가시피해가 증가하였고 SOD와 POD의 활성도 감소하였다. 유리기 제거제인 sodium benzoate와 ascorbic acid처리는 SOD나 POD 활성에 영향을 주지않으면서 $SO_2$의 피해를 경감시키고, DDTC의 $SO_2$피해증가 효과를 ascorbic acid 처리로 감소시킬 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 uniconazole은 식물체내에서 산화방지물질의 역할을 하는 SOD의 활성을 증대시켜 $SO_2$가스의 피해를 경감시키는 효과가 인정되며, ascorbic acid와 sodium benzoate의 내성 증대 효과는 식물체내의 SOD나 POD 활성 증진과는 관계가 없는 것으로 판단된다.

Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) overexpression modulates cellular responses such as tumor cell suppression and is induced by $IFN{\gamma}$. Therefore, we examined the role of EC-SOD in $IFN{\gamma}$-mediated tumor cell suppression. We observed that the dominant-negative protein kinase C delta ($PKC{\delta}$) suppresses $IFN{\gamma}$-induced EC-SOD expression in both keratinocytes and melanoma cells. Our results also showed that $PKC{\delta}$-induced EC-SOD expression was reduced by pretreatment with a PKC-specific inhibitor or a siRNA against $PKC{\delta}$. $PKC{\delta}$-induced EC-SOD expression suppressed cell proliferations by the up-regulation of p21 and Rb, and the downregulation of cyclin A and D. Finally, we demonstrated that increased expression of EC-SOD drastically suppressed lung melanoma proliferation in an EC-SOD transgenic mouse via p21 expression. In summary, our findings suggest that $IFN{\gamma}$-induced EC-SOD expression occurs via activation of $PKC{\delta}$. Therefore, the upregulation of EC-SOD may be effective for prevention of various cancers, including melanoma, via cell cycle arrest.

The endogenous neurotoxin, 1-methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (salsolinol), has been considered a potential causative factor for the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study, we examined the pattern of human Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) modification elicited by salsolinol. When Cu,Zn-SOD was incubated with salsolinol, some protein fragmentation and some higher molecular weight aggregates were occurred. Salsolinol led to inactivation of Cu,Zn-SOD in a concentration-dependent manner. Free radical scavengers and catalase inhibited the salsolinol-mediated Cu,Zn-SOD modificaiton. Exposure of Cu,Zn-SOD to salsolinol led also to the generation of protein carbonyl compounds. The deoxyribose assay showed that hydroxyl radicals were generated during the oxidation of salsolinol in the presence of Cu,Zn-SOD. Therefore, the results indicate that free radical may play a role in the modification and inactivation of Cu,Zn-SOD by salsolinol.

Covering rate, visual rating and sod development were evaluated under three natural fiber materials with Phragmites spp. when over a plastic sheet. The results were as follows. (1) The last covering rate was high on jute net, coir mat and on Miscanthus sacchariflorus, respectively while the early covering rate was high on coir mat and on Miscanthus sinensis+perennial ryegrass. (2) The early growth was good on perennial ryegrass but the covering rate gradually turned poor because of summer drought. (3) Sod was highly developed on Phragmites japonica, Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Miscanthus sinensis compared with other species and mixtures. (4) The covering rate and visual rating were high on natural fiber materials such as coir mat and jute net when compared with on natural fiber materials such as none treatment plots. (5) The natural fibers materials on Phragmites spp. and Miscanthus spp. were effect on sod establishment. Sod coir mat was highly established. (6) The carpet-type sod was best developed on the coir mat.

Six soil compositions with three seeding rates were evaluated for influence on germination, coverage, height and sod development of Phragmites japonica. 1. Germination was high on peat, vermiculite and bark as compared with on peatmoss and sandy loam. 2. Covering rate was high within 2 months when seeded at 9g/$m^2$, but became same within 3 months afterwards when seeded at 3,6 and 9g/$m^2$, respectively. 3. Sod was highly developed on peat and bark treatments whereas Sandy loam, peatmoss and vermiculite treatments didn't develop sod. 4. Sod grown on bark weighed light and, therefore, was suggested best from a dealing cost point of view. 5. Cutting at 10 cm height didn't influence on sod development regardless of soil compositions.
