Abstract excerpt
Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is a mitochondrial enzyme that converts cytotoxic superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide. MnSOD activity is lower in tumor cells, and MnSOD overexpression reportedly ameliorates malignant phenotypes. We established stable MnSOD overexpressing cell lines from a human osteosarcoma cell line, SaOS2, and then investigated the effects of MnSOD overexpression on plating...
