Superoxide Dismutase Specifically Inhibits Erythroid Cell DNA Synthesis and Proliferation
Abstract The antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) was previously shown to inhibit both the proliferation of murine erythroid DA-1 cells growing in the presence of Interleukin-3 (IL-3) and the DNA synthesis of marrow erythroid progenitor cells (BFU-E) in vitro. We show here that the inhibiti...

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract
The antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) was previously shown to inhibit both the proliferation of murine erythroid DA-1 cells growing in the presence of Interleukin-3 (IL-3) and the DNA synthesis of marrow erythroid progenitor cells (BFU-E) in vitro. We show here that the inhibition of marrow cell DNA synthesis by SOD is specific for BFU-E and erythroid precursors (CFU-E), with other myeloid progenitors (CFU-GM) and stem cells (CFU-S) being unaffected, and IL-3 blocks the inhibitory effects of SOD on BFU-E in a dose-dependent manner. Extending earlier observations on the effects of SOD on cell proliferation, it was found that SOD was capable of inhibiting DA-1 cell proliferation supported by either IL-3 or erythropoietin (epo), but had no effect on IL-3 dependent FDCP-1 cells, nor on epo-dependent HCD-57 cells. Of several murine erythroleukemia cell lines tested, only those transformed with Friend SFFVa virus were inhibited by SOD, while those transformed with Friend SFFVp or MuLV virus were not affected. These results show that the effects of SOD are not antagonistic to particular growth factors but rather the inhibition is specific for eryrthroid cells, and cells of the proper stage can be inhibited even if they have been transformed to factor independence. |
