Objective - The goal of this study was to compare vascular function, superoxide levels, and MnSOD protein expression in young (4 to 7 months) and old (22 to 24 months) MnSOD+/+ and MnSOD-deficient (MnSOD+/-) mice.Methods and Results - Relaxation of aorta in vitro to the endothelium-dependent dilator acetylcholine (ACh) was similar in young MnSOD+/+ (n = 9) and young MnSOD+/- (n = 6) mice. This response was impaired in old MnSOD+/+ (n = 8) mice and old MnSOD+/- mice (n = 14), with dysfunction being greater in old MnSOD-deficient mice (eg, 100 mu mol/L ACh produced 77 +/- 3% [mean +/- SE], 77 +/- 3%, 70 +/- 4%, and 57 +/- 4% relaxation in young MnSOD+/+, young MnSOD+/-, old MnSOD+/+, and old MnSOD+/- mice, respectively). The endothelial dysfunction was similar in mice on both C57BL/6 and CD-1 genetic backgrounds. In contrast to ACh, responses to the endothelium-independent dilator sodium nitroprusside were enhanced in old MnSOD+/+ and MnSOD+/- mice compared with both groups of young mice (P < 0.05). Superoxide levels, as measured using lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence, were increased more than 2-fold in old MnSOD+/- mice compared with old MnSOD+/+ and young mice (P < 0.05).Conclusions - These data provide the first direct evidence that MnSOD halpoinsufficiency results in increased vascular oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction with aging.
