title: Mn and Cu/Zn SOD expression in cells from LPS-sensitive and LPS-resistant mice.
abstract: We examined the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment on the expression of manganese and copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (MnSOD and Cu/ZnSOD) mRNA and protein in resident peritoneal macrophages and lung endothelial cells derived from LPS-sensitive (LPS-s) and LPS-resistant (LPS-r) mice. Macrophages from both LPS-s and LPS-r mice treated with LPS for 24 h produced increased levels of MnSOD mRNA and protein. In contrast, levels of lung endothelial cell MnSOD mRNA and protein from LPS-s mice were increased by LPS treatment, while no increases in these parameters were observed in endothelial cells from LPS-r mice. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) treatment, however, did increase levels of MnSOD mRNA in both LPS-s and LPS-r endothelial cells to an equal extent. Both macrophage and endothelial cell Cu/ZnSOD mRNA and protein levels were not significantly affected by LPS treatment. These results demonstrate that the mutation that affects susceptibility to LPS in LPS-r mice exerts a differential influence on MnSOD inducibility in a cell specific manner.
