Exercise training enhances extracellular superoxide dismutase (EcSOD) expression in skeletal muscle and elicits positive health outcomes in individuals with diabetes. The goal of this study was to determine if enhanced skeletal muscle expression of EcSOD is sufficient to mitigate streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Exercise training promotes EcSOD expression in skeletal muscle and provides protection against DCM; however, it is not known if enhanced EcSOD expression in skeletal muscle plays a functional role in this protection. Here, we show that skeletal muscle-specific EcSOD transgenic mice (TG) are protected from cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis and dysfunction under the condition of type-1 diabetes induced by STZ injection. We also show that both exercise training and muscle-specific transgenic expression of EcSOD result in elevated EcSOD protein in the blood and heart without increased transcription in the heart, suggesting enhanced expression of EcSOD from skeletal muscle redistributes to the heart. Importantly, cardiac tissue in TG mice displayed significantly reduced oxidative stress, aberrant cell signaling and inflammatory cytokine expression compared with wild type mice under the same diabetic condition. Enhanced expression of EcSOD in skeletal muscle is sufficient to mitigate STZ-induced DCM through attenuation of oxidative stress, aberrant cell signaling and inflammation, suggesting a cross-organ mechanism by which exercise training improves cardiac function in diabetes.
