Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is the major SOD isoenzyme in extracellular fluids, but occurs also in tissues. The sites and characterisitcs of the synthesis of the enzyme are unknown. The occurrence of EC-SOD in cultures of a large panel of human cell lines was assayed by means of an e.l.i.s.a. Unlike the situation for the intracellular isoenzymes CuZn-SOD, expression of EC-SOD occurs in only a few cell types. None of the ten investigated suspension-growing cell lines produced EC-SOD. Among normal diploid anchorage-dependent cell lines, expression was found in all 25 investigated fibroblast cell lines, in the two glia-cell lines, but not in six endothelial-cell lines, two epithelial-cell lines or in two ammion-derived lines. Among neoplastic anchorage-dependent cell lines expression was found in 13 out of 29, EC-SOD was secreted into the culture medium by cell lines expressing the enzyme. The rate of EC-SOD synthesis varied by nearly 100-fold among the fibroblast lines and remained essentially consistant in the individual lines during long-term culture. In the nine investigated cases, the secreted EC-SOD was the high-heparin-affinity C type. It is suggested that tissue EC-SOD is secreted by a few well-dispersed cell types, such as fibroblasts and glia cells, to diffuse subsequently around the reversibly bind to heparan sulphate proteoglycan ligands in the glycocalyx of the surfaceof most tissue cell types and in the interstitial matrix.
