We investigated the potential role of mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) in protective activity against irradiation by analyzing cell viability by a colony formation assay and by detecting apoptosis in stably human Mn-SOD gene-transfected HLE, a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. We found that overexpression of Mn-SOD reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species in the mitochondria and intracellular phospholipid peroxidation product (4-hydroxy-2-nonenal) and prevented cell death. The production of intracellular nitric oxide after irradiation was not changed by Mn-SOD overexpression. The results suggested that Mn-SOD might play an important role in protecting cells against radiation-induced cell death by controlling the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and intracellular lipid peroxidation.
