Abstract
Lung fibrosis is a devastating outcome of various diffuse parenchymal lung diseases. Despite rigorous research efforts, the mechanisms that propagate its progressive and nonresolving nature remain enigmatic. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis. However, the role of extracellular redox state in disease progression and resolution remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that compartmentalized control over extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) by aerosolized delivery of recombinant extracellular superoxide dismutase (ECSOD) suppresses an established bleomycin-induced fibrotic process in mice. Further analysis of publicly available microarray, RNA-seq and single-cell RNAseq datasets reveals a significant decrease in ECSOD expression in fibrotic lung tissues that can be spontaneously restored during fibrosis resolution. Therefore, we investigate the effect of siRNA-mediated ECSOD depletion during the established fibrotic phase on the self-limiting nature of the bleomycin mouse model. Our results demonstrate that in vivo knockdown of ECSOD in mouse fibrotic lungs impairs fibrosis resolution. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 downregulates endogenous ECSOD expression, leading to the accumulation of extracellular superoxide via Smad-mediated signaling and the activation of additional stores of latent TGF-β1. In addition, depletion of endogenous ECSOD during the fibrotic phase in the bleomycin model induces an apoptosis-resistant phenotype in lung fibroblasts through unrestricted Akt signaling. Taken together, our data strongly support the critical role of extracellular redox state in fibrosis persistence and resolution. Based on these findings, we propose that compartment-specific control over extracellular ROS may be a potential therapeutic strategy for managing fibrotic lung disorders.

Abstract
TNFα activates NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The extracellular superoxide anion (O2•-) produced is essential for the pro-inflammatory effects of the cytokine but the specific contributions of O2•- to signal transduction remain obscure. Extracellular superoxide dismutase (ecSOD, SOD3 gene) is a secreted protein that binds to cell surface heparin sulfate proteoglycans or to Fibulin-5 (Fib-5, FBLN5 gene), an extracellular matrix protein that also associates with elastin and integrins. ecSOD converts O2•- to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) which prevents NO• inactivation, limits generation of hydroxyl radical (OH•), and creates high local concentrations of H2O2. We hypothesized that ecSOD modifies TNFα signaling in VSMCs. Knockdown of ecSOD (siSOD3) suppressed downstream TNFα signals including MAPK (JNK and ERK phosphorylation) and NF-κB activation (luciferase reporter and IκB phosphorylation), interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion, iNOS and VCAM expression, and proliferation (Sulforhodamine B assay, PCNA western blot). These effects were associated with significant reductions in the expression of both Type1 and 2 TNFα receptors. Reduced Fib-5 expression (siFBLN5) similarly impaired NF-κB activation by TNFα, but potentiated FAK phosphorylation at Y925. siSOD3 also increased both resting and TNFα-induced phosphorylation of FAK and of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β), a downstream target of integrin linked kinase (ILK). These effects were dependent upon α5β1 integrins and siSOD3 increased resting sulfenylation (oxidation) of both integrin subunits, while preventing TNFα-induced increases in sulfenylation. To determine how ecSOD modified TNFα-induced inflammation in intact blood vessels, mesenteric arteries from VSMC-specific ecSOD knockout (KO) mice were exposed to TNFα (10 ng/ml) in culture for 48 h. Relaxation to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside was impaired in WT but not ecSOD KO vessels. Thus, ecSOD association with Fib-5 supports pro-inflammatory TNFα signaling while tonically inhibiting α5β1 integrin activation.

Abstract
Macrophomina phaseolina, a necrotrophic fungal pathogen is known to cause charcoal rot disease in food crops, pulse crops, oil crops and cotton and fibre crops. Necrotrophic fungi survive on dead plant tissue. It is well known that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by the host plant during plant-pathogen interaction. However, it is still unclear how M. phaseolina can overcome the ROS-induced cellular damage. To mimic the invasion of M. phaseolina inside the plant cell wall, we developed solid substrate fermentation where M. phaseolina spore suspension was inoculated on a wheat bran bed and incubated for vegetative growth. To analyse the secretome of M. phaseolina after different day interval, its secretory material was collected and concentrated. Both superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase were detected in the secretome by zymogram. The presence of SOD and catalase was further confirmed by liquid chromatography based mass spectrometry. The physicochemical properties of M. phaseolina catalase in terms of stability towards pH, temperature, metal ions and chaotropic agent and inhibitors indicated its fitness at different environmental conditions. Apart from the production of catalase in SSF, the studies on this particular microorganism may also have significance in necrotrophic fungal pathogen and their susceptible host plant interaction.

Abstract
Background Nematodes have evolved to survive in diverse ecological niches and can be a serious burden on agricultural economy, veterinary medicine, and public health. Antioxidant enzymes in parasitic nematodes play a critical role in defending against host oxidative stress. However, the features of the evolution of antioxidant enzymes in the phylum Nematoda remain elusive. Results Here, we systematically investigated the evolution and gene expression of antioxidant enzymes in the genomes of 59 nematodes and transcriptomes of 20 nematodes. Catalase has been independently lost in several orders, suggesting that it is unnecessary for some nematodes. Unlike in mammals, phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase is widely distributed in nematodes, among which it has evolved independently. We found that superoxide dismutase (SOD) has been present throughout nematode evolutionary process, and the extracellular isoform (SOD3) is diverged from the corresponding enzyme in mammals and has undergone duplication and differentiation in several nematodes. Moreover, the evolution of intracellular and extracellular SOD isoforms in filaria strongly indicates that extracellular SOD3 originated from intracellular SOD1 and underwent rapid evolution to form the diversity of extracellular SOD3. We identify a novel putative metal-independent extracellular SOD presenting independently in Steinernema and Strongyloididae lineage that featured a high expression level in Strongyloides larvae. Sequence divergence of SOD3 between parasitic nematodes and their closest free-living nematode, the specifically high expression in the parasitic female stage, and presence in excretory-secretory proteome of Strongyloides suggest that SOD3 may be related with parasitism. Conclusions This study advances our understanding of the complex evolution of antioxidant enzymes across Nematoda and provides targets for controlling parasitic nematode diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR) is inadequate. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of taurine on AR and to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS The serum level of the antioxidant enzyme extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3) was determined in AR patients and in healthy controls. The antiallergic inflammatory effects of taurine were evaluated in a dinitrophenyl-human serum albumin (DNP-HSA)-stimulated human mast cell line (HMC-1) and in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR mouse model. RESULTS Clinically, a reduction in serum level of SOD3 was observed in AR patients. Taurine treatment led to dose-dependent increases in SOD3 at both protein and mRNA levels in HMC-1 cells. SOD3 production was regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) in response to taurine. SOD3 overexpression inhibited the release of proinflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α (, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-6. Its overexpression also ameliorated the loss of interferon-γ. SOD3 and PPAR-γ influenced inflammatory cytokine production via regulation of the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). An OVA-induced AR animal model study showed that taurine was efficacious in alleviating allergic inflammatory reactions by relieving behavior symptoms of AR mice and reducing eosinophilic and mast cell infiltration into the nasal cavity. In addition, taurine treatment increased the production of SOD3 and PPAR-γ, which, in turn, suppressed expression of proinflammatory cytokines through phosphorylation of ERK1/2. CONCLUSION Taurine could potentially serve as a therapeutic treatment for allergic disorders.

Abstract
AIMS Several anti-melanogenic molecules have been developed or identified, but their uses are limited due to either adverse effects or instability during the treatment. We aimed to evaluate the effects of extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3), a powerful antioxidant, as a candidate anti-melanogenic molecule. MAIN METHODS UVB-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and proliferation in melan-a cells was evaluated by 6-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate staining and bromodeoxyuridine incorporation assay, respectively. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot were performed to detect the melanogenesis-related gene expression and downstream signaling. Anti-melanogenic effects of SOD3 were also evaluated using SOD3 transgenic mice under UVB exposure in-vivo condition. KEY FINDINGS SOD3 inhibited UVB-induced proliferation, ROS production and melanogenesis in melanocytes. Measurement of melanin content and tyrosinase activity assays showed that SOD3 significantly inhibited melanin synthesis. Moreover, these suppressive effects of SOD3 were dependent on the endothelin-1 (ET-1)/endothelin B receptor, protein kinase C, melanocortin 1 receptor/protein kinase A, Wnt7a/β-catenin, and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways, with concomitant downregulation of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, tyrosinase, and tyrosinase-related proteins 1, dopachrome tautomerse. Interestingly, SOD3 was found to inhibit transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) to inactivate the ET-1 signaling pathway, and finally prevents the production of melanin. SIGNIFICANCE Our results provide novel insights into the role of SOD3 in melanocyte homeostasis and its uses as a potential biomedicine to treat hyperpigmentary conditions of the skin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) provokes ischaemia and reperfusion injury (IRI). Superoxide is a main mediator of IRI and is detoxified by superoxide dismutases (SODs). Extracellular SOD (SOD3) is the prevailing isoform in the cardiovascular system. Its mutation is associated with elevated risk for ischaemic heart disease as epidemiological and experimental studies suggest. We investigated the influence of SOD3 on IRI in the context of CPB and hypothesized a protective role for this enzyme. METHODS Mutant rats with loss of SOD3 function induced by amino acid shift, SOD3-E124D, (SOD3 mutant; n = 9) were examined in a model of CPB with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest provoking global IRI and compared with SOD3 competent controls (n = 8) as well as sham animals (n = 7). SOD3 plasma activity was photometrically measured with a diazo dye-forming reagent. Activation of cardioprotective rescue pathways (p44-42 MAPK and STAT3), cleavage of PARP-1, expression of SOD isoforms (SOD1, 2 and 3) and nitric oxide metabolism were analysed on the protein level by western blot. To evaluate whether SOD3 inactivity directly affects the myocardium, we isolated adult cardiac myocytes, which underwent hypoxia prior to protein analyses. RESULTS Relative SOD3 plasma activity in SOD3 mutant rats was significantly decreased by at least 50% compared with that in SOD3 competent controls (prior to euthanasia P = 0.008). Effectively, physiological parameters [heart rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP)] indicated a trend toward impaired handling of ischaemia and reperfusion in SOD3 mutants: after reperfusion, mean heart rate was 46 bpm lower (P = 0.083) and MAP 8 mmHg lower (P = 0.288) than that in SOD competent controls. Decreased SOD3 activity led to reduced activation of cardioprotective rescue pathways in vivo and in vitro: relative activation of p44-42 MAPK (P = 0.074) and STAT3 (P = 0.027) was more than 30% decreased in heart and aortic tissue of SOD3 mutants (activity normalized to sham control as 1). After CPB, cleavage of PARP-1 was doubled in the control group (P = 0.017), but increased 3-fold in SOD3 mutants (P = 0.002). Furthermore, 3-nitrotyrosine as a measure of decreased nitric oxide bioavailability and other SOD isoforms (SOD1 and 2) were increased. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, SOD3 has a significant cardioprotective role in cases of IRI and directly affects the myocardium as hypothesized. Exploration of intervention strategies targeting SOD3 may provide therapeutic options against IRI and associated systemic inflammation.

Abstract
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EcSOD) is a copper-containing glycoprotein playing an important role in antioxidant defense of living cells exposed to oxidative stress, and also participating in microorganism internalization and cell adhesion in invertebrates. EcSOD from oyster (designated CgEcSOD) had been previously reported to bind lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and act as a bridge molecule in Vibrio splendidus internalization. Its mRNA expression pattern, PAMP binding spectrum and microorganism binding capability were examined in the present study. The mRNA expression of CgEcSOD in hemocytes was significantly up-regulated at the initial phase and decreased sharply at 48 h post V. splendidus stimulation. The recombinant CgEcSOD protein (rCgEcSOD) could bind LPS, PGN and poly (I:C), as well as various microorganisms including Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Vibrio anguillarum, V. splendidus, Pastoris pastoris and Yarrowia lipolytica at the presence of divalent metal ions Cu(2+). After the secondary V. splendidus stimulation, the mRNA and protein of CgEcSOD were both down-regulated significantly. The results collectively indicated that CgEcSOD could not only function in the immune recognition, but also might contribute to the immune priming of oyster by inhibiting the foreign microbe invasion through a specific down-regulation.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3) against amyloid beta (Aβ25-35)-induced damage in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for this beneficial effect. SH-SY5Y cells overexpressing SOD3 were generated by adenoviral vector-mediated infection and Aβ25-35 was then added to the cell culture system to establish an in vitro model of oxidative stress. Cell viability, the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), the expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes, the levels of lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde (MDA), the expression of mitochondrial apoptosis-related genes and calcium images were examined. Following Aβ25-35 exposure, SOD3 overexpression promoted the survival of SH-SY5Y cells, decreased the production of ROS, decreased MDA and calcium levels, and decreased cytochrome c, caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bax gene expression. Furthermore, SOD3 overexpression increased the expression and activity of antioxidant enzyme genes and Bcl-2 expression. Together, our data demonstrate that SOD3 ameliorates Aβ25-35-induced oxidative damage in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells by inhibiting the mitochondrial pathway. These data provide new insights into the functional actions of SOD3 on oxidative stress-induced cell damage.

Abstract
Background Thyroid-derived cell models are commonly used to investigate the characteristics of thyroid cancers. It is noteworthy that each in vitro single cell model system imitates only a few characteristics of thyroid cancer depending on e.g. source of cells or oncogene used to transform the cells. Methods In the current work we utilized rat thyroid cancer cell models
to determine their clinical relevance in redox gene studies by comparing in vitro expression data to thyroid Oncomine microarray database. To survey the cell lines we analyzed mRNA expression of genes that produce superoxide anion (nox family), genes that catalyze destruction of superoxide anion to hydrogen peroxide (sod family), and genes that remove hydrogen peroxide from cellular environment (catalase, gpx family and prdx family). Results Based on the current results, rat thyroid PC Cl3, PC PTC1, PC E1A, or FRLT5 cell models can be used to study NOX2, NOX4, SOD2, SOD3, CATALASE, GPX1, GPX2, GPX5, PRDX2, and PRDX3 gene expression and function. Conclusions Redox gene expression in rat originated single cell model systems used to study human thyroid carcinogenesis corresponds only partly with human redox gene expression, which may be caused by differences in redox gene activation stimulus. The data suggest careful estimation of the data observed in rat thyroid in vitro models.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) act as a first line of the enzymatic antioxidant defense system to control cellular superoxide anion toxicity. Previously, several inhibitors have been widely identified and catalogued for inhibition of SOD activity; however, still the information about the mechanism of interaction and points toward the inhibitor interactions in structures of SODs in general and in extracellular (Ec)-SOD in particular is still in naive. In the present research, we present an insight to elucidate the molecular basis of interactions of SOD inhibitors with Ec-SOD in mud crab Scylla serrata using molecular modeling and docking approaches. Different inhibitors of SOD such as hydrogen peroxide [Formula: see text], potassium cyanide, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), [Formula: see text]-mercaptoethanol and dithiocarbamate were screened to understand the potential sites that may act as sites for cleavage or blocking in the protein. SOD-SDS and [Formula: see text] complex interactions indicate residues Pro72 and Asp102 of the predicted crab Ec-SOD as common targets. The GOLD result indicates that Pro72, Asp102 and Thr103 are commonly acting as the site of interaction in Ec-SOD of S. serrata with SOD inhibitors. For the first time, the results of this study provide an insight into the structural properties of Ec-SOD of S. serrata and define the possible involvements between the amino acids present in its active sites, i.e., in the regions from 70 to 84 and from 101 to 103 and different inhibitors.

Abstract
Viruses belonging to the family Malacoherpesviridae currently pose a serious threat to global production of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas. Hemolymph extracts from C. gigas are known to have potent antiviral activity. The compound(s) responsible for this broad-spectrum antiviral activity in oyster hemolymph have not been identified. The objective of this study was to identify these antiviral compound(s) and establish whether hemolymph antiviral activity is under genetic control in the Australian C. gigas population. Hemolymph antiviral activity of 18 family lines of C. gigas were assayed using a herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and Vero cell plaque reduction assay. Differences in anti-HSV-1 activity between the family lines were observed (p<0.001) with heritability estimated to be low (h(2)=0.21). A glycoprotein that inhibits HSV-1 replication was identified by resolving oyster hemolymph by native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and assaying extracted protein fractions using the HSV-1 and Vero cell plaque assay. Highest anti-HSV-1 activity corresponded with an N-linked glycoprotein with an estimated molecular mass of 21kDa under non-reducing SDS-PAGE conditions. Amino acid sequencing by tandem mass spectrometry revealed this protein matched the major hemolymph protein, termed cavortin. Our results provide further evidence that cavortin is a multifunctional protein involved in immunity and that assays associated with its activity might be useful for marker-assisted selection of disease resistant oysters.

Abstract
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is responsible for the dismutation of the superoxide radical produced in the extracellular space and known to be expressed by inflammatory cells, including macrophages and neutrophils. Here we show that EC-SOD is produced by resting macrophages and associated with the cell surface via the extracellular matrix (ECM)-binding region. Upon cellular activation induced by lipopolysaccharide, EC-SOD is relocated and detected both in the cell culture medium and in lipid raft structures. Although the secreted material presented a significantly reduced ligand-binding capacity, this could not be correlated to proteolytic removal of the ECM-binding region, because the integrity of the material recovered from the medium was comparable to that of the cell surface-associated protein. The naturally occurring R213G amino acid substitution located in the ECM-binding region of EC-SOD is known to affect the binding characteristics of the protein. However, the analysis of macrophages expressing R213G EC-SOD did not present evidence of an altered cellular distribution. Our results suggest that EC-SOD plays a dynamic role in the inflammatory response mounted by activated macrophages.

Extracellular superoxide dismutase suppresses hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in pancreatic cancer. Free Radic Biol Med 2014; 69:357-66.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a heterodimeric transcription factor that governs cellular responses to reduced oxygen availability by mediating crucial homeostatic processes and is a major survival determinant for tumor cells growing in a low-oxygen environment. Clinically, HIF-1α seems to be important in pancreatic cancer, as HIF-1α correlates with metastatic status of the tumor. Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EcSOD) inhibits pancreatic cancer cell growth by scavenging nonmitochondrial superoxide. We hypothesized that EcSOD overexpression leads to changes in the O2(-)/H2O2 balance modulating the redox status affecting signal transduction pathways. Both transient and stable overexpression of EcSOD suppressed the hypoxic accumulation of HIF-1α in human pancreatic cancer cells. This suppression of HIF-1α had a strong inverse correlation with levels of EcSOD protein. Coexpression of the hydrogen peroxide-removing protein glutathione peroxidase did not prevent the EcSOD-induced suppression of HIF-1α, suggesting that the degradation of HIF-1α observed with high EcSOD overexpression is possibly due to a low steady-state level of superoxide. Hypoxic induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was also suppressed with increased EcSOD. Intratumoral injections of an adenoviral vector containing the EcSOD gene into preestablished pancreatic tumors suppressed both VEGF levels and tumor growth. These results demonstrate that the transcription factor HIF-1α and its important gene target VEGF can be modulated by the antioxidant enzyme EcSOD.
