The role of reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide anions (O-2(.-)) nd hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), in modulating vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and viability is controversial, To investigate the role of endogenously produced H2O2, rat aortic smooth muscle cells were infected with adenoviral vectors containing cDNA for human catalase (AdCat) or a control gene, beta-galactosidase (AdLacZ). Infection with AdCat resulted in dose-dependent increases in intracellular catalase protein, which was predominantly localized to peroxisomes, After infection with 100 multiplicity of infection (MOI) of AdCat, cellular catalase activity was increased by 50- to 100-fold, and intracellular H2O2 concentration was reduced, as compared with control. Infection with AdCat reduced [H-3]thymidine uptake, an index of DNA synthesis, in cells maintained in medium supplemented with 2% serum (0.37+/-0.09 disintegrations per minute per cell [AdLacZ] versus 0.22+/-0.08 disintegrations per minute per cell [AdCat], P
