Regulation of superoxide dismutase genes: Implications in disease

Open access
Miao, Lu, St. Clair, Daret K.·2009·Free Radical Biology and Medicine

Abstract

Numerous short-lived and highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as O2·- (superoxide), ·OH (hydroxyl radical), and H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) are continuously generated in vivo. Depending upon concentration, location and intracellular conditions, ROS can cause toxicity or act as signaling molecules. The cellular levels of ROS are controlled by antioxidant enzymes and small molecule antioxidants. As major antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutases (SODs), including copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/ZnSOD), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and extracellular superoxide dismutase (ECSOD), play a crucial role in scavenging O2·-. This review focuses on the regulation of the genes (sods) coding for these enzymes with an emphasis on human genes. Current knowledge about sods structure and their regulation is summarized and depicted as diagrams. Studies to date on genes coding for Cu/ZnSOD (sod1) are mostly focused on alteration in the coding region and their associations with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Evaluation of nucleotide sequences reveals that regulatory elements of the sod2 gene reside in both the non-coding and coding regions. Changes associated with sod2 lead to alteration in expression levels as well as protein function. We also discuss the structural basis for the changes in SOD expression associated with pathological conditions and where more work is needed to establish the relationship between SODs and diseases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
