Myeloid cells are a major source of superoxide and other oxygen metabolites. As a protective mechanism, cells express antioxidant enzymes including manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), copper-zinc SOD (Cu/Zn-SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSX-PX). Even though hematopoietic cells are a major source of oxidants, little is known of their expression of antioxidants. We found that seven myeloid leukemic cell lines blocked at different stages of differentiation constitutively expressed Mn-SOD, Cu/Zn-SOD, and GSX-PX RNAs. Level of Mn-SOD activities paralleled levels of Mn-SOD RNA. Terminal differentiation of native HL-60 cells to either granulocytes or macrophages did not alter levels of Mn-SOD RNA but markedly decreased cell division. Myeloid leukemic lines sensitive to cytotoxic effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) as well as normal peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes, dramatically increased their levels of Mn-SOD RNA in the presence of TNF. In contrast, Cu/Zn-SOD and GSX-PX RNA levels did not increase in these same cells. TNF-resistant leukemic lines had higher constitutive levels of Mn-SOD RNA and activity; and these levels did not change in the presence of TNF. Antisense but not random oligonucleotides to Mn-SOD markedly increased the sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of TNF for both the native HL-60 (TNF-sensitive) and K562 (TNF-resistant) cell lines. Further studies showed that the antisense oligonucleotides entered the cells and resulted in decreased levels of Mn-SOD RNA. The data suggest that Mn-SOD may provide protection against cytotoxicity of TNF in hematopoietic cells.
