Abstract:
:Extracellular-superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is the major SOD isozyme in the arterial wall and may be important for antioxidation capability of the vascular wall and normal vascular function. EC-SOD is expressed in various cell types in the vascular wall such as fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and macrophages, and the synthesis of EC-SOD by human fibroblasts is known to be highly responsive to various inflammatory cytokines, although there is no response to oxidative stress. Heparin is a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan with many functions such as antithrombotic, antilipemic and antiatherosclerotic effects. Another less well-known function of heparin is regulation of protein synthesis. In this study, we measured the induction of EC-SOD after treatment with heparin to understand the role of heparin in the antiatherosclerotic response of fibroblasts. Heparin induced EC-SOD expression at both the mRNA and protein levels. Heparin showed the greatest stimulatory effect and heparan sulfate showed moderate effects. The effect of chondroitin sulfate A was not clear. In contrast, desulfated heparin and chondroitin sulfate C did not increase EC-SOD expression. The stimulatory effect seemed to increase roughly with the degree of glycosaminoglycan sulfation. The enhanced expression of EC-SOD by heparin must contribute to the antiatherosclerotic effect of heparin.
