摘要
Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) scavenges toxic superoxide radicals produced in the mitochondria. Transfection of the human MnSOD gene into mouse C3H 10T1/2 cells resulted in production of active MnSOD, which was properly transported into mitochondria. Overexpression of MnSOD protected cells from radiation-, but not chemically-induced neoplastic transformation. This finding demonstrates that oxidative stress that occurs in the mitochondria plays an important role in the development of neoplastic transformation.
