This study was undertaken to investigate the different responses of cultured plant cells to paraquat treatment and nucleus-DNA damage in relation to enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Furthermore, this study was also carried out to understand the antioxidative mechanism of plant cells to environmental stress. We selected two different species of plant cultured cells, Ipomoea batatas as high-SOD species and Lonicera japonica as low-SOD species. The total activity and specific activity of SOD in a chlorophyllous cell of I. batatas were 3,736 unit/gㆍfresh weight and 547 unit/mgㆍprotein, respectively, and those in L. japonica were 23 unit/gㆍfresh weight and 13 unit/mgㆍprotein, respectively SOD activity in chlorophyllous I. batatas cells reached its maximum level at 10 to 15 days after subculture, whereas that in L. japonica remained at a very low SOD level during the whole period of subculture. In comparison to L. japonica, I. batatas, a high-SOD species, showed high tolerance to paraquat 10 and 50 mg/l treatment in terms of cell viability and electrolyte leakage. Based on the result of comet assay, the nucleus-DNA damage of two species by paraquat 50 mg/l treatment was not significantly different. However, I. batatas cells repaired their damaged DNA more effectively than the cells of the low-SOD species, L. japonica.

Growth of G. max treated with $NO_3^-$-N was decreased by high NaCl treatments, but $NH_4NO_3$-fed plants showed good growth with enhanced activity of antioxidative enzymes (SOD and APX). Especially, activity of APX was higher in 5 mM $NH_4NO_3$-fed plants than other types of N-supplied plants throughout the stress period. Higher SOD activity under salt stress was accompanied by increase in APX activity in 5 mM $NH_4NO_3$-fed plants. Similarly, application of calcium confirmed somewhat positive effects on growth. Salt-treated soybean plants showed the best growth response with the increase of SOD and APX activity at an additional 5 mM calcium treatment. Especially, the increase of SOD activity through the strengthened CuZn-SOD isoform was remarkable.

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.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) 고생산세포주로 선발된 토마토(Lycopersicun esculentum) 배양세포를 사용하여 현탁배양에 따른 SOD 활성과 isoenzyme변화를 조사하고 토마토 식물체의 것과 비교하였다. 현탁배양은 세포생중량 2 g을 1 mg/L 2,4-D, 30 g/L sucrose를 함유한 MS 배지 50 mL과 함께 mL flask에서 $25^{\circ}C$암상태로 배양(100 rpm)하였다. 세포생장은 계대배양후 20일에 최고점에 도달한 후, 급격히 감소하며 배양 후 23일부터 세포가 검게 변하였다. 세포 단위무게당 SOD활성(unit/g dry cell wt)은 배양 후 23일부터 증가하여 28일째에 최고활성(52,400 unit)을 나타낸 후 급격히 감소하였다. 세포 밖으로 분비되는 extracellular SOD활성은 배양 후 25일에 최고치(27,800 unit/so mL medium)를 나타낸 후 감소하였다. Flask 전체의 SOD활성은 배양 후 25일에 최대치(35,700 unit)를 나타내었으며 extracellular SOD 활성이 약 75%을 차지하였다. 토마토 배양세포에는 4개의 SOD isoenzyme이 존재하며, isoenzyme의 패턴변화는 세포생장에 따른 효소활성의 변화와 일치하였다. 토마토 식물체는 배양세포에 없는 CuZnSOD가 존재하며 배양세포와 식물체 조직사이에는 서로 다른 isoenzyme 패턴이 존재함을 알 수 있었다.

감마선에 조사된 흰쥐의 신장 내의 효소활성에 홍삼 추출물이 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 연구하고자 생후 5주령의 생쥐를 4군으로 분류하여 감마선 조사 및 홍삼 추출물 투여 혹은 생리적 식염수를 투여하고 그로부터 1일, 2일, 3일, 4일 및 5일 등 5회에 걸쳐 도살하여 신장을 취하고 신장조직 내의 SOD, peroxidase 및 catalase 등의 활성도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 홍삼 추출물 투여군은 대조군에 비하여 SOD나 catalase 및 peroxidase의 활성이 유의성있게 증가하다가 회복하였으며 감마선 조사 후 생리적 식염수 투여군은 대조군에 비하여 SOD, peroxidase 및 catalase의 활성이 증가하다가 감소하는 경향이었다. 감마선 조사후 홍삼 추출물 투여군은 SOD, peroxidase 및 catalase의 활성도가 감마선 조사 후 생리적 식염수 투여군에 비하여 보다 빠르게 회복되는 경향이었다. 그러므로 홍삼 추출물이 이온화 방사선 조사 후 장해로 일어나는 SOD, peroxidase 및 catalase 활성도의 변화에 회복효과가 있음이 나타났다.

All accessions of Rehmannia glutinosa show the unique characteristic of intrinsic tolerance to paraquat. The higher level of endogenous superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity and its increase upon paraquat treatment indicated the involvement of SOD in the tolerance mechanism to paraquat in R. glutinosa. In this study, we examined the isoform-specific response of SOD to oxidative stresses and hormones. Six SOD isoforms were found in the leaf, and they were identified as two MnSODs(named MnSOD I and MnSOD II, in order of increasing mobility), one FeSOD and three Cu/ZnSODs(named Cu/ZnSOD I, Cu/ZnSOD II, and Cu/ZnSOD III, in order of increasing mobility). MnSOD I, MnSOD II, FeSOD, Cu/ZnSOD I, Cu/ZnSOD II, and Cu/ZnSOD III, contributed to 4, 11, 7, 15, 30, and 32% of the total SOD activity, respectively. Total SOD activity levels in the leaf were increased by 4, 24, and 21% by paraquat, salicylic acid(SA), and yeast extract(YE), respectively, but little by ethephon. Six SOD isoforms responded differentially to these stresses and hormones. The activities of all the isoforms were increased by YE and SA except that of MnSOD I which was decreased by SA. The activities of MnSOD I, FeSOD, and CuZnSOD I were increased by paraquat. These results suggest that amelioration of oxidative stresses by SOD is fine-tuned by the differential expression of isoforms in R. glutinosa.

To show the effects of metallothionein (MT) on the activity of enzymes involved in the removal of reactive oxygen species, MT has been added to the assay systems of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and peroxidase. We have used assay systems of SOD based on NADPH oxidation and nitrite formation from hydroxylammonium chloride as an assay of superoxide breakdown rate. The two assay systems showed different results at the high concentration of MT. MT showed the scavenging of superoxide in the SOD assay system in the presence and absence of SOD. MT added to the SOD assay system behaved as an activator of SOD, but apo-MT behaved as an inhibitor. When MT was added to the assay system in the presence of a fixed amount of SOD, the breakdown rate of superoxide increased. The effects of MT on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and the activity of catalase and peroxidase decomposing hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. MT decreased the activities of catalase and peroxidase. We have concluded that the function of MT as an antioxidant might effect the level of superoxide scavenging and not the level of hydrogen peroxide.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Cu/Zn SOD on reduction of hindlimb muscular atrophy induced by cisplatin in rats. Methods: Forty-two rats were assigned to three groups; control group, Cisplatin (CDDP) group and cisplatin with Cu/Zn SOD (CDDP-SOD) group. At day 35 hindlimb muscles were dissected. Food intake, activity, withdrawal threshold, muscle weight, and Type I, II fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) of dissected muscles were measured. Relative SOD activity and expression of MHC and phosphorylated Akt, ERK were measured after dissection. Results: Muscle weight and Type I, II fiber CSA of hindlimb muscles in the CDDP group were significantly less than the control group. Muscle weight and Type I, II fiber CSA of hindlimb muscles, food intake, activity, and withdrawal thresholds of the CDDP-SOD group were significantly greater than the CDDP group. There were no significant differences in relative SOD activities of hindlimb muscles between the CDDP-SOD and CDDP groups. MHC expression and phosphorylated Akt, ERK of hindlimb muscles in the CDDP-SOD group were significantly greater than the CDDP group. Conclusion: Cu/Zn SOD attenuates hindlimb muscular atrophy induced by cisplatin through increased food intake and activity. Increment of phosphorylated Akt, ERK may relate to attenuation of hindlimb muscular atrophy.

자작나무류 4개 수종의 오존에 대한 생리 생화학적인 반응 특성을 비교하고, 수종별 오존 홉입량과 광합성 능력 및 항산화효소 활성간의 연관성을 찾기 위하여 거제수나무, 물박달나무, 자작나무, 사스래나무 묘목에 5주 동안 100 ppb 오존을 노출시킨 후 오존 흡입량, 광합성, SOD, GR 활성을 측정하였다. 5주 동안의 누적 오존 흡입량은 거제수나무가 53.8 mmol m$^{-2}$ 로 가장 많았으며, 물박달나무가 35.5 mmol m$^{-2}$ 로 가장 적었다. 오존에 노출된 4개 수종의 광합성 능력은 감소하였으나 기공전도도에 따른 광합성 반응은 수종간 달랐다. 4개 수종의 SOD 활성은 누적 오존 홉입량이 증가함에 따라 증가하다가 감소하였다. GR 활성은 거제수나무의 경우 SOD 활성과 마찬가지로 점차 증가하다가 감소하였으나, 다른 세 수종은 누적 오존 흡입량이 증가하면서 지속적으로 증가하였다. 결론적으로 거제수나무는 누적 오존 흡입량의 증가로 SOD와 GR 활성을 잃어버리는 민감성 수종으로 나타났으나, 다른 세 수종은 GR 활성을 지속적으로 증가시키는 저항성을 보였다. 또한 오존 흡입량에 따른 SOD와 GR 활성 반응은 반드시 일치하지 않으며, 수종별 반응 차이는 오존 흡입량에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다.
