Manganese-superoxide dismutase (Sod2) removes mitochondrially derived superoxide (O-2(radical anion)) at near-diffusion limiting rates and is the only antioxidant enzyme whose expression is regulated by numerous stimuli. Here it is shown that Sod2 also serves as a source of the intracellular signaling molecule H2O2. Sod2-dependent increases in the steady-state levels of H2O2 led to ERK1/2 activation and subsequent downstream transcriptional increases in matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression, which were reversed by expression of the H2O2-detoxifying enzyme, catalase. In addition, a single nucleotide polymorphism has recently been identified (1G/2G) at base pair -1607 that creates an Ets site adjacent to an AP-1 site at base pair -1602 and has been shown to dramatically enhance transcription of the MMP-1 promoter. Luciferase promoter constructs containing either the 1G or 2G variation were 25- or 1000-fold more active when transiently transfected into Sod2-overexpressing cell lines, respectively. The levels of MMP-2, -3, and -7 were also increased in the Sod2-overexpressing cell lines, suggesting that Sod2 may function as a "global" redox regulator of MMP expression. In addition, Sod2(-/+) mouse embryonic fibroblasts failed to respond to the cytokine-mediated induction of the murine functional analog of MMP-1, MMP-13. This study provides evidence that the modulation of Sod2 activity by a wide array of pathogenic and inflammatory stimuli may be utilized by the cell as a primary signaling mechanism leading to matrix metalloproteinase expression.
