This research employed a senescence-accelerated mouse(SAM) to explore the possibility that differences exits among the major antioxidants, superoxid dismutase(SOD), in terms of ability to protect such animal treated with Cu, Fe and Mn. To assess the antioxidants function of metal ions on SAM-R/1 and SAM-P/8 were administered with Cu, Fe and Mn orally. The effect of metal ions on SAM towards reversing oxygen sensitivity was determined as a bioassays of SOD in the mouse liver. The data show that the SOD activity was induced by each metal ions in both SAM-R/1 and SAM-P/8. It suggested that induced SOD by each metal ions may protect against oxidative mediated stress. Finally, overall data lead to the possibility of metal ions as an antioxidants or each metal ions act producer of oxygen radicals in the liver of SAM-R/1 and SAM-P/8.

The superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mimetic activities of copper complexes of a series of salicylic acid (SA) analogs were tested and compared to the activity of bovine erythrocyte SOD using ferricytochrome c reduction assay. Stability constants of copper complexes were measured potentiometrically using SCOGS2 program. In the presence of 10 g/l albumin, all the copper complexes lost their SOD mimetic activities. Multiple regression analysis was employed for the statistical comparisons between the SOD mimetic activity and their physicochemical properties. Correlation exists for the SOD mimetic activity and steric parameter $(E_s)$ and/or electronic parameter $({\Sigma}{\sigma})$ in xanthine/xanthine oxidase (XOD) system, demonstrating that E, plays a key role in SOD activity whereas ${\Sigma}{\sigma}$ influences it to a lesser extent. The protective effect of copper complexes against membrane damage was measured by counting D-glucose released frm $EG_s$. D-glucose and XOD were entrapped within $EG_s$ and acetaldehyde was used as a substrate for XOD. In this membrane model system using $EG_s$, hydrophobic parameter $({\Sigma}{\pi})$ is of most importance, producing parabolic equation while $E_s$, and ${\Sigma}{\sigma}$ appear to playa minor role in protection against D-glucose release. In summary, to design an efficient SOD mimetic, stability, steric factor, lipophilicity and redox potential should be considered.

Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) was purified from horseradish by using Mono Q and Superose 12 FPLC column chromatography. The native molecular mass of the purified enzyme was approximately 33 kDa, as determined by gel filtration. The subunit molecular weight, as estimated by SDS-PAGE, was 16 kDa. These results indicated that the native enzyme is a homodimer. We investigated the free radical-generating function of horseradish Cu,Zn-SOD by using a chromogen, 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) which reacts with ${\cdot}OH$ radicals to form $ABTS^{+{\cdot}}$ The formation of $ABTS^{+{\cdot}}$ was required for both active Cu, Zn-SOD and $H_2O_2$. The optimal pH for the free radical-generating activity of this enzyme was 6.0-8.0, and it retained about $40^{\circ}C$ of its maximum activity when exposed at $40^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. A neutral scavenger, ethanol, inhibited the $ABTS^{+{\cdot}}$ formation by horseradish Cu, Zn-SOD more effectively than that by the mammalian enzyme. These results suggest that the active channel of horseradish enzyme is slightly larger than that of the mammalian enzyme.

폐흡충 성충의 인산완충액 추출액을 원심분리하여 만든 세포질 현탁액을 조효소(조효소)로 사용하여 Xanthine- zanthine oxidase system으로 superoxide digmutase 환성을 측정한 결과 비활성도(비활성도: specific activity)는 4.3 units/mg이었다. 이 효소의 활성도를 30∼85% ammonium sulfate 침전 및 DEAE-Trisacryl M anion exchange chromatography와 Sephadex G-100 column chromatography를 통과시키면서 측정하는 방법으로 superoxide dismutase를 정제하고, 정제한 효소의 생화학적 특성을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 정제과정을 통해 세포질 내 superoxide dismutase를 150배 정제하였다. Sephadex G-100 gel filtration에 의해 계산한 이 효소의 분자량은 34kDa이었고 환원성 SDS-PAGE상 subunit가 17 kDa이었다. 따라서 이 효소는 subunit 두개로 구성된 중항체로 판단하였다. 3. 이 효소는 1 mM 이상의 cyanide 농도에서는 효소 황성이 100% 억제되었고, 5mM 농도의 azide에서는 11.1%, 10mM azide에서는 22.2% 그 환성이 각각 억제되었다. 3. 이 효소는 완충액의 pH가 10.0일 때 효소 황성이 5.4배 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로 폐흡충의 세포질 내에 존재하는 superoxide dismutase는 구리와 아연을 함유한 superoxide dismutase라고 판단할 수 있었다.

미생물에서 분리한 dykellic acid가 식물세포에 미치는 생리적 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 담배 광혼용영양배양세포(photomixotrophic cultured cells, PM세포)에 dykellic acid를 다양한 농도로 처리하여 세포의 생장과 단백질 함량 및 superoxide diamutase (SOD)활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 담배 PM세포는 0.7 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.3 mg/L kinetin, 30g/L sucrose, 200 mM NaCl를 함유한 MS배지에서 $25^{\circ}C$, 광조건에서 현탁배양 (100 rpm) 하였다. 계대배양시 화합물을 처리한 후 12일째의 세포생장 억제와 배지의 이온 전도도를 측정한 세포막손상의 결과는 일치하였으며, 화합물은 세포생장을 강하게 억제시켰다 ($IC_{50}$/, 약 20 $\mu$M). Dykellic acid 처리농도가 증가함에 따라 단위세포 무게당 단백질 함량과 SOD 비활성도를 현저히 증가시켰다. 이상의 결과로 dykellic acid는 식물세포 생장을 저해하는 활성을 가지고 있으며, 담배 PM세포는 적은 양으로도 천연물의 생리활성을 평가할 수 있는 유용한 생물소재임이 확인되었다.

A balance between production and degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Increased levels of ROS during oxidative stress are associated with disease conditions. Antioxidant enzymes, such as extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), in the extracellular matrix (ECM) neutralize the toxicity of superoxide. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of EC-SOD in protecting the brain, lungs, and other tissues from oxidative stress. Therefore, EC-SOD would be an excellent therapeutic drug for treatment of diseases caused by oxidative stress. We cloned both the full length (residues 1-240) and truncated (residues 19-240) forms of human EC-SOD (hEC-SOD) into the donor plasmid pFastBacHTb. After transposition, the bacmid was transfected into the Sf9-baculovirus expression system and the expressed hEC-SOD purified using FLAG-tag. Western blot analysis revealed that hEC-SOD is present both as a monomer (33 kDa) and a dimer (66 kDa), as detected by the FLAG antibody. A water-soluble tetrazolium (WST-1) assay showed that both full length and truncated hEC-SOD proteins were enzymatically active. We showed that a potent superoxide dismutase inhibitor, diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC), inhibits hEC-SOD activity.

$SO_2$에 대한 양버즘나무의 내성을 증대시키고자 생장왜화제인 uniconazole을 토양주입하고, 그 내성 기작을 superoxide dismutase와 peroxidase의 역할과 관련하여 조사했던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Uniconazole은 농도가 높아질 수록 간장, 엽면적 및 T/R율(率)을 현저하게 감소시키고, 엽록소 농도와 superoxide dismutase 및 peroxidase활성을 현저하게 증가시켜 $SO_2$ 처리에 의한 가시피해를 유의성있게 경감시켰다. Diethyldithiocarbamate를 엽면살포하였을때, superoxide dismutase와 peroxidase 활성이 현저하게 불활성화되어 $SO_2$ 처리에 의한 가시피해(可視被害)가 증가되었으며 uniconazole 처리에 의해 증대되었던 $SO_2$ 내성은 diethyldithiocabamate 처리에 의하여 다시 감소되었다. 이상과 같이 uniconazole은 식물생장의 왜화(矮化)에 의한 조직의 치밀화 이외에 SOD와 POD의 활성증대를 통해 $SO_2$에 대한 내성을 증대시킨 것으로 판단된다.

We have attempted to determine the Germanium ion (G $e^{4+}$) effect on the human body by observing the formation of artificial lipid membrane and photolysis in the mineral water containing G $e^{4+}$ ion. The artificial lipid membrane is prepared by using the phospholipid in the Germanium water and the formation efficiency of the liposomes is compared with those obtained in the plain mineral water without G $e^{4+}$ ion. This work shows that the liposomes are formed in the Germanium water better than in the non-Germanium water. The liposomes can be photolyzed by superoxide anion ( $O_{2-}$$^{.}$) produced in the presence of some peptide such as NAT (N-acethyl-L-tryptophan). However, this is inhibited by superoxide dismutase (SOD), and it was found that the activity of SOD on the inhibition of the liposomes oxidative damage is higher in the Germanium water than in the non-Germanium water. It is concluded that the G $e^{4+}$ ion in mineral water helps the formation of new cell as well as elevation of SOD activity for the lipid oxidation.n.

The peroxidation status of tissues was estimated in broilers under acute or chronic heat stress ($32^{\circ}C$, 24 h, $5{\times}24h$) in the present study. The results showed that the lipid peroxide (LPO) concentrations in plasma and liver were elevated (p<0.05) by acute heat stress, and were not influenced in kidney (p>0.05). At the same time, no significant change of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the liver, kidney or plasma was observed. Under chronic heat exposure, the SOD activity in liver was increased (p<0.05) and the LPO concentrations in the liver and plasma were restored to the normal levels. The LPO level in kidney was not affected by chronic heat stress (p>0.05), but SOD activity was significantly decreased (p<0.01). The results suggested that the peroxidation was induced by acute heat stress and disappeared along with the time of heat exposure, and the peroxidation reactions were different among tissues.
