Bleomycin administration results in well-described intracellular oxidative stress that can lead to pulmonary fibrosis. The role of alveolar interstitial antioxidants in this model is unknown. Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is the primary endogenous extracellular antioxidant enzyme and is abundant in the lung. We hypothesized that EC-SOD plays an important role in attenuating bleomycin-induced lung injury. Two weeks after intratracheal bleomycin administration, we found that wild-type mice induced a 106 ± 25% increase in lung EC-SOD. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that a large increase in EC-SOD occurred in injured lung. Using mice that overexpress EC-SOD specifically in the lung, we found a 53 ± 14% reduction in bleomycin-induced lung injury assessed histologically and a 17 ± 6% reduction in lung collagen content 2 wk after bleomycin administration. We conclude that EC-SOD plays an important role in reducing the magnitude of lung injury from extracellular free radicals after bleomycin administration.
