Endotoxin increases superoxide dismutase in cultured bovine pulmonary endothelial cells

Y. Shiki, B. O. Meyrick, K. L. Brigham and I. M. Burr

Manganous (Mn) and copper zinc (CuZn) superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentrations and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) activities were measured in cultured bovine pulmonary endothelial cells with and without exposure to Escherichia coli endotoxin (10(-1) micrograms/ml) over intervals of 0.5-24 h. The activities of two mitochondrial marker enzymes, fumarase and cytochrome-c oxidase, were also measured. Endotoxin exposure caused a marked increase (9-fold) in endothelial cell Mn SOD content without significant effects on GSH-Px, CAT, fumarase, or cytochrome-c oxidase activities. Endotoxin induced a slight decrease in CuZn SOD content over 24 h. This is the first report of a selective effect of endotoxin on Mn SOD in pulmonary endothelial cells. The response appears to be independent of an increase in mitochondrial activity (no change was observed in cytochrome-c oxidase or fumarase activities). These findings support the notion that endotoxin increases generation of toxic oxygen metabolites within pulmonary endothelial cells. An endotoxin-induced increase in Mn SOD could contribute to the reported protective effect of endotoxin against oxygen toxicity in these cells.
